Ernest Jones shoppers can get free £2,000 diamond ring in deal

For those seeking a particularly special, sparkly gift for their Valentine ahead of 14 February, Ernest Jones has elevated its offering with a remarkable double deal that sees customers receiving a complimentary diamond ring worth £2,000. With just a few days remaining, it presents the ideal opportunity for those wanting to propose on the most romantic day of the year, whilst treating their loved one to additional jewellery for less, with many items available for delivery in as little as one day.

The promotion works as follows: Ernest Jones is offering customers the chance to acquire two pieces of jewellery for the price of one – though certain conditions apply. On its website, it explains: «Enjoy a free lab-grown diamond ring. Worth £1,000 when you spend £1,500 or more on selected Natural Diamonds. Or add even more brilliance with a free lab-grown diamond worth £2,000 when you spend £2,500 or more on selected Natural Diamonds.»

With this in mind, it’s a clever way to secure both a wedding band and engagement ring for less – reducing additional expenses further down the line, and crossing one more task off the list. It could also benefit those wanting to obtain two engagement rings for the price of one.

Either as a backup or travel ring for the (hopeful) future fiancée, or it’s an excellent, cost-effective strategy for two friends who wish to seize the opportunity to split the cost of an engagement ring – particularly if one of their prospective brides-to-be desires a solitaire ring. Shoppers will receive a complimentary yellow or white gold banded solitaire ring, adorned with either a 1ct lab-grown diamond valued at £1000, or a 2ct lab-grown diamond solitaire ring worth £2,000.

This is an ideal choice for those who favour timeless, classic designs. With a broad range of natural diamond items eligible for this deal, it’s a fantastic opportunity to save on purchases such as bridal sets without compromising on quality, reports the Manchester Evening News. The offer isn’t limited to rings; earrings and necklaces are also included. However, with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, a ring is always a reliable option.

For instance, while an eternity ring isn’t typically chosen as a wedding band – most reserve this style to commemorate other milestones like anniversaries – many are drawn to its design due to the full channel set of diamonds that provide significant sparkle. This 18ct White Gold Full Eternity 0.50ct Diamond Ring, priced at £1,500, would pair beautifully with the 9ct White Gold 1ct Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire Ring included in the free ring offer.

For those seeking something a bit different, the £1,500 Vera Wang 18ct White Gold 0.12ct Diamond and Sapphire Eternity Certificated Ring is part of the bridal designer’s LOVE collection. It features alternating sapphires and round brilliant diamonds, symbolising ‘everlasting love’.

This traceable Origin 18ct Yellow Gold 0.50ct Diamond 9 Stone Eternity Ring represents another attractive wedding band choice. Priced at £2,250, it features a row of nine round brilliant cut diamonds with a combined carat weight of 0.50ct, all ethically sourced.

For those considering purchasing two engagement rings in different styles – perhaps keeping one as a spare or sharing the expense with a friend – Ernest Jones offers an array of natural diamond rings that prove difficult to resist. Take, for instance, this Engagement Ring 9ct Two Gold Cushion Shaped Halo 0.50ct Diamond Ring at £1,650, which creates a striking impression with its square, cushion-cut design containing 29 diamonds. Mounted in 9ct white gold, the band provides an appealing contrast with its yellow gold tone.

For buyers willing to invest more substantially in an engagement ring from the outset, the Vera Wang 18ct White Gold Pear Shaped Halo Certificated 0.50ct Diamond Ring is priced at £2,600 and incorporates three distinct stone varieties: a distinctive pear-cut diamond, accompanied by round diamond shoulders and round blue sapphire stones. These are all mounted on an 18ct white gold band.

For those not particularly interested in acquiring two gemstone rings, one being a solitaire, there’s a variety of other single-stone diamond rings available, many at reduced prices. For instance, the Solitaire Oval Claw-Set Lab-Grown Diamond Classic Engagement Ring from Angara is currently reduced to £1,241 from £1,379 and is available in three different metal options – 14ct white or yellow gold, 18ct gold or platinum. Buyers can also select the diamond’s carat weight and gemstone quality.

Meanwhile, H. Samuel is offering an attractive bridal set comprising a 0.33ct Diamond Ring and a sparkling diamond-set wedding band, reduced to £999 from £1,399. It’s worth noting that the Ernest Jones offer doesn’t apply to items already discounted, meaning products must be full price and priced above £1,500 to qualify for the complimentary engagement ring promotion.

Whilst the specific items on the brand’s website don’t feature customer reviews, Ernest Jones has received numerous positive reviews on Trust Pilot that highlight its quality. One satisfied customer described their experience buying an engagement ring, saying: «Shopping online for a new engagement ring and the selection is nothing short of incredible. Having the ‘try it on’ feature makes it all so much easier when you are not in a physical store. I have no complaints and cannot think of any faults whilst shopping on the website either.»

Another customer enthused: «Have always found Ernest Jones to be a great company to purchase from, it’s my go to for my wife, from our engagement rings, wedding rings and any Christmas, birthday or just, an I love you day gift.»

Whilst the majority of reviews highlight excellent service and quality products, one customer who bought an engagement ring online offered a more nuanced perspective, explaining: «Having purchased an engagement ring online, the diamond that came was quite cloudy compared to the picture (I know now I should’ve read and looked into the stone quality etc) so we went into the store where my fiancée picked a Vera wang ring as a replacement, when delivered it wasn’t the same ring picked, similar and she loves it still… but not the same one.» This serves as a reminder to conduct thorough research before making such an important purchase.

A third customer commented: «I just ordered an engagement ring for my hopefully soon to be fiance. Shopping online was easy and I’ve opted to have the ring delivered to the store so it won’t get discovered early whilst I’m at work. Good job Ernest Jones.»
