Our jewellery is made by one of our master craftsmen in house at either our Hatton Garden or Kings Langley Workshops. All our jewellery is Hallmarked in the London Assay office to assure metal quality and fineness.
When comparing both options, white cold can cost less than platinum. This is because 18ct white gold rings contain 75% gold purity, whilst platinum has 95%. Also platinum is a denser, heavier metal which would mean that with two identical rings side by side, the platinum will weigh more. The main thing to consider is after wear white gold can take on a yellowish hue and therefore will need to be rhodium plated every year or two to maintain the bright white colour. Platinum however will not fade or change in colour.
Yes we love to recycle, we'll gladly buy your unwanted gold. Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. As we use the gold instead of selling it to a refiner, we can offer you more than you'll be offered elsewhere too.

We prefer to get the right size in the first instance and can send you a free ring sizer when you order a ring from us. Diamond settings are strained on resizing and so it's always better to get it right first time. With that said we understand it can be hard, and so we will resize all rings purchased from us free of charge within the first 3 months of delivery. After this period a small charge will apply. In the event that you order the incorrect ring size, we will resize the ring for you at no cost if you cover the shipping to and from our workshop. Please note full eternity rings cannot be resized and would have to be remade.
