I have written in this blog about many of the quite well known subjects. Things like diamond cut and clarity are covered, but instead of just giving you the same old line, we try to "Tell it how it is". I hope it is helpful for you and not too boring to read. I have been known to bang on a bit, but then, I am male and it is my specialist subject..what can you do!
The info in these pages is to a large extent my personal opinion. However rest assured, this is how it is, and with over 36+ years in the actual making of diamond rings, you can take this info to the bank. As with all the info on the site and with our dealing with people, it is a no Bs approach.
This blog content may raise some questions for you, so please feel free to shoot us a request, or ask about any topics raised. If there is something not covered here, it may well be info elsewhere on our site. You can try using the search function if you like. The ellissi website is actually a massive site and a great way to find out about diamonds. So if you can't find the info you want just Ask Us.
We will be adding to this page over time, so you may want to look back at it again at some point. We also have a very large amount of info you may like to look at on our facebook page. This too is a great resource, full of our latest engagement ring photos and feed back from our customers. It is also a great way to look at engagement ring designs you have not seen before, read comments from people and read the info I have attached to the post photos. It is all really great stuff.
Nature is always full of surprises and the world of gemstones is no exception. In Siberia, a very rare, unique diamond has been discovered. It is a diamond that has another tiny diamond sitting inside it! Just incredible! As far as we know, this is the first time ever that a diamond like this has

There are no set rules for what an engagement ring must look like. Of course, for many, what springs to mind when they think of an engagement ring, is the classic, six claw diamond ring. Advertising certainly is a powerful thing! But the reality is that engagement ring designs vary enormously. Luckily we live in

Black gold. Is there such a thing? Well, the short answer is “no”. Black gold is something that we are often asked for, probably because there are images of black rings all over the internet, and people (incorrectly) assume that black gold is a thing. Alloys Give Us Different Colour Golds Eighteen carat gold is

What do uncut diamonds look like? This is not something that diamond lovers often think about. These days, we generally only see cut rather than uncut diamonds. But it is fascinating to think about the history of jewellery and the changing nature of what we think of as being beautiful. When you see an uncut

When we think of an engagement ring, many of us immediately think of a diamond ring. Why?

A well chosen sapphire is the foundation
