Rachel Boston is one of Britain's leading fine jewellery designers, known for her unconventional engagement rings, Art Deco influences and distinctive diamonds. After training at Central Saint Martins and the GIA in New York, she founded her eponymous jewellery brand in 2012 and has since won Designer of the Year at the UK Jewellery Awards. She also happens to be the designer behind Georgie's own engagement ring.
This week, Rachel joins Georgie to share everything couples should know before choosing an engagement ring, from the real differences between natural and lab-grown diamonds and how to get the most from your budget, to the biggest mistakes people make when designing a bespoke ring and why you might fall in love with something completely different from what you imagined.
They also get into the engagement ring trends inspired by Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa and Selena Gomez, why vintage diamonds are becoming so sought-after, how far in advance you need to commission a ring and the surprising things you should never do while wearing your engagement ring.
Plus, Rachel reveals why wedding bands are costing more than ever, the £4,000 difference a tiny change in diamond shape can make, and the extraordinary story of her own engagement on the District line and the Las Vegas wedding that didn't quite go to plan.
