At the bench

Set by hand, one prong at a time

A solitaire takes our setters the better part of a day. The seat is cut to the stone rather than the stone pushed into the seat, which is slower, and the reason the light gets underneath.

How to read a stone

Cut, colour, clarity, carat

The full guide
C

Cut

The only C decided by a person rather than the earth. Proportion and finish are what return light to the eye.

D

Colour

Graded D to Z. We set nothing below G, where the warmth is invisible once the stone is in metal.

VS

Clarity

Inclusions are the stone's record of its own making. VS and above are clean to the unaided eye.

ct

Carat

Weight, not size. Two stones of equal carat can read very differently depending on how the cut spreads them.

In their words

What our clients say

They cut the seat to my grandmother's stone rather than recutting it. The ring came back looking like it had always been that way.

A. KareemBridal commission

I asked for today's gold rate on a Tuesday and had a full quote the same afternoon. No pressure, no chasing.

S. BalochGold enquiry

The silver arrived heavier than it looked online, in the best way. It has held its polish for a year.

N. AhmedSilver, shipped

Resized twice, free both times, and they cleaned it while it was with them.
