Types of Timeless Jewellery
Necklaces
A Visual Statement
A necklace has the power to transform any outfit, making it one of the most versatile types of jewellery. Our collection at Pragnell spans from classic diamond pendants to enduring gemstone pieces.
Diamond Necklaces
Whether you prefer pendants in platinum, yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold, a diamond necklace has the ability to add timeless elegance, especially when worn on special occasions.
Pearl Necklaces
Pearls are universally associated with elegance. Our strands range from traditional single-row designs to contemporary pearl and diamond pendants. Each pearl necklace is hand-knotted and finished with fine gold or platinum clasps.
Chain Necklaces
For everyday versatility, a gold chain necklace in yellow or rose gold is an essential. Pair with a pendant or wear alone for understated luxury.
Bracelets
Elegance at the Wrist
Bracelets are a subtle yet striking way to express style. Many collectors appreciate the ability to stack bracelets, mixing textures and metals for a personalised look.
Tennis Bracelets
The diamond tennis bracelet is a jewellery icon. Our handcrafted designs in yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold are set with perfectly matched diamonds, offering elegance for both day and evening wear.
Bangles
Yellow gold bangles are true classics. Wear a single yellow gold bangle for elegance, or stack white gold and rose gold variations for a contemporary layered look.
Rings
Symbols of Love and Legacy
Rings are perhaps the most symbolic pieces of jewellery, marking life's most treasured moments, such as engagement rings, a classic wedding band or a striking cocktail ring.
Engagement Rings
An engagement ring is one of the most meaningful purchases a person can make. At Pragnell, you'll find solitaire engagement rings set with exceptional diamonds, each hand-selected by our expert gemmologists. Choose from platinum for modern elegance, yellow gold for timeless warmth, or rose gold for romantic appeal. For those seeking extra brilliance, explore solitaire with diamond shoulders, which adds sparkle to the band.
Eternity Rings
An eternity ring symbolises everlasting love and is often gifted to mark anniversaries, the birth of a child, or other life milestones. Our diamond eternity rings are available in platinum for durability, yellow gold for a classic touch, or rose gold for a softer finish. Some feature vibrant gemstones such as sapphires or emeralds, offering a colourful twist on tradition.
Wedding Rings
Wedding rings come in many timeless styles, from sleek platinum bands to gold wedding rings engraved with personal messages. These designs are crafted to last a lifetime. Choose a plain polished finish for understated elegance, or a pavé diamond style for subtle glamour.
Cocktail Rings
Cocktail rings are designed to make a statement, featuring large gemstones or bold diamond clusters. Perfect for evening wear, each piece is expertly set to make a maximum impact.
Earrings
Effortless Glamour
It is said that earrings are among the most versatile pieces of fine jewellery. At Pragnell, you will find designs for everyday wear and glamorous evenings.

Metals: The Foundations of Fine Craftsmanship
At the heart of every piece is the choice of precious metal. Each offers unique characteristics. At Pragnell, we only use the finest metals to create jewellery that will be cherished for generations.
Yellow Gold
Yellow gold adds warmth and richness, making it a traditional choice for any collection. This versatile metal complements diamonds, pearls, and coloured gemstones alike, making it perfect for everyday wear, such as wedding rings or necklaces.
White Gold
White gold is a favourite for those who adore a sophisticated style. The silver shine pairs beautifully with diamonds, enhancing their brilliance and is often used in diamond earrings, engagement rings, and tennis bracelets as a stylish alternative to platinum.
Rose Gold
Rose gold has gained popularity for its warm, pinkish tone, which is achieved by blending gold with copper alloys. Perfect for modern yet timeless jewellery, rose gold is often featured in eternity rings, cocktail rings, and pendant necklaces, adding a subtle vintage charm.
