We are always Happy to set
Customer's own Diamonds
and Gemstones.
As leading bespoke jewellery designers we can provide a setting service second to none in the industry.
We will design and hand make a setting that properly fits your stone rather than try to resize a massed produced cast part that won't do justice to your stone or hold it securely in place
If you have any questions or would like to arrange a design consultation,
please contact us.
Setting Customer's own stones
Conflict free stones
We are very happy to set stones bought elsewhere on the condition that we can be sure that the stone is conflict free.
Spending too much on the stone is a common mistake
We have seen a recent spate of customers who have bought their stone elsewhere, particularly abroad and been persuaded to use up the majority of their budget on their stone. They have then found that they have not then left enough to set the stone properly and been forced to go with a cheap massed produced setting. We would ask customers to speak to us first (even if you intend to buy your stone elsewhere) about the cost of properly setting a stone.
Design is a good investment
It is a common mistake to think that any investment value of an engagement ring is in the stone. History has shown us that the second hand jewellery market is awash with average quality diamond engagement rings at remarkably low prices. There doesn't seem to be much of a market for second hand diamonds.
More savey investors realise that its best to spend your money on good design - as a well designed and beautifully handmade engagement ring will keep its value regardless of the stone.
How our prices compare
Don't forget or stone prices are lower than the UK average and we offer a stone sourcing service that takes the worry out of buying stones unseen over the internet. Also, we are more than likely to be able to match the price of any online diamond dealer's offering, like for like.
