For Women Who Can Handle the Spotlight
When people think of engagement rings, a classic Brilliant-Cut Solitaire often springs to mind - the most traditional of the engagement ring categories and an unmistakable symbol of love and devotion recognised the world over.
But tradition and simplicity aren’t everyone’s engagement ring flavour, with some opting for more extravagant modern engagement rings that could guide a ship to shore in a tropical storm.
What is a modern engagement ring?
Modern engagement rings are the divas of the SH diamond ring collections, renowned for stealing the spotlight wherever they glow. They’re red carpet calibre; the kind that make celebrity engagement ring lists.
Like minimalist engagement rings, they feature a higher carat centre diamond typically set above the rest for dramatic effect, but with a halo of smaller diamonds that spill over into a lavishly encrusted band. Their bands can include multiple splits and contrasting cuts to create unique modern engagement rings in a league of their own.
If you can handle all that dazzle, the exclusively designed range of SH modern engagement rings might just be the bling for you. Without further ado, let’s meet the team…

It’s hard to tell where the halo begins and ends in this tiered sea of sparkle.
