The idea that you must have an open back of a stone’s setting is an old jeweller’s tale—born from cost cutting, poor-quality gems and limited skill. All our settings are solid, not cut away or drilled through on the underside. With expertly cut stones and precision craftsmanship, solid settings shine brighter, last longer, wear better and prevent dermatological problems.
Gemstones are a lifetime passion. David and Nicola studied at the internationally recognised Gem-A and passed the prestigious DGA. An extensive stock of beautiful diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and emeralds is available for you to select from. Importantly, we’ll gladly show you a selection and discuss and explain the technical and aesthetic considerations. This will ensure you fully understand and appreciate the stones and design you choose.
We hold customer records of past purchases if you need a match to a ring or pendant.
