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.
