What should I consider when buying an engagement ring?

When shopping for an engagement ring, you'll need to consider the style of the ring, the shape of the diamond, the metal of the band and the budget you have in mind. When choosing the diamond itself, you should consider the 4 C's of Diamond Quality. All of our diamond rings are independently certified, so you'll have all the information you need about the size and condition of your diamond. We offer you the ability to shop online or visit our Hatton Garden Showroom and allow you to customise your diamond ring so that yours is one of a kind and unique.

What are the 4C's of Diamond Quality?

The 4C's of Diamond Quality are Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat. The diamond cut determines the diamonds sparkle. Popular examples include round cut, cushion cut and princess cut diamonds. Colour refers to the hue of the diamond and is a D-Z grading ranging from colourless to a yellow hue. The clarity grade marks how many internal 'inclusions' or external 'blemishes' the diamond has, which can affect the appearance of the stone. Carat refers to the weight of the stone where a single carat weighs 200 milligrams.

How do I find my partner's ring size?

Once you've decided on the ring, the next step is finding out your partners ring size. We recommend asking close family or friends to subtly find out her ring size. You could also borrow a ring she already owns and take it to a jewellers who can tell you her size.

I need something within a set timescale. What is the current delivery timescale for made to order items?

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the supply chain in the UK and around the world is affected. Our shop & workshops are now closed until further notice.

Our shop and workshop are looking to re-open as soon as restrictions in UK are lifted off. Although we will be working extra hard to catch up on orders, because of the backlog we expect all made-to-order items to take further 3 to 4 weeks from re-open date.

We have a huge inventory of items, so if your order is time sensitive and you need it before we re-open our stores, then please contact us once we re-open and we can suggest options from our stock.

Can I order a stock item for delivery?

We are planning to intermittently visit the store to pick up stock items for orders and get them dispatched via Royal Mail. To eliminate any chances of contamination, this will be done by 1 person only via direct private transport arranged from home to store.

Whilst we may not be able to immediately dispatch stock items, as per our current plan it should be dispatched within 1 week latest.

Please bear in mind that due to staff shortage Royal Mail is currently having trouble delivery parcels next working day. So you may receive the parcel in further days after dispatch.

Am I eligible for refund if the situation changes and there are more delays to the order?

Yes you can order with confidence that if the situation with the coronavirus pandemic changes and there are further delays caused by reasons out of our hands, then you are still within your distant selling act consumer right to cancel the order and get your full money back.
