Natural gemstones and quality
For natural colourless diamonds, David’s house standard is D/E colour, VVS clarity and Triple Excellent cut, polish and symmetry.
David makes the rub-over setting with a smooth rim of precious metal. Consequently, there are no projecting claws to catch on clothing. The secure construction also helps keep the stone clean and makes the ring comfortable for everyday wear.
David handmakes every ring in his London workshop. Furthermore, he and Nicola both hold the DGA qualification from Gem-A and can explain the technical and aesthetic differences between natural gemstones.
