Diamonds
Getting engaged is without doubt a very exiting time. We aim to make your choosing of the ring a special experience too. Whether you have decided to choose the ring together or you are choosing it for the bride to be we offer you:
Fine Quality
Our director, Andrew Hinds, is personally responsible for buying all our diamonds. Each design is individually selected and the diamonds it contains matched by hand by expert craftsmen and women to maximise their beauty and unique qualities. Andrew and Roy Hinds also personally inspect our finished diamond pieces, including individually selecting for our customers each and every one of our certificated diamond solitaire rings and other jewellery.
Excellent Value
As one of Britain’s leading jewellers, we use our considerable buying power to source diamonds from across the globe and to pass the savings on to our customers. This allows us to offer excellent value on all of our diamonds. We aim to match the quality of many of those who sell diamonds for much more and to beat the quality of the few who match our prices.
Diamond Guarantee
All our diamond jewellery is guaranteed for two years (excluding accidental damage). *
Our 10-Year Diamond Pledge
Free annual inspection and cleaning service on all diamond jewellery purchased from us. We will check for any damage and advise on any work that may be needed. In addition, we will clean and polish the item to help retain its original shine and lustre – all free of charge.
Free Valuation Certificate
Every diamond we sell comes with its own valuation certificate clearly describing it and identifying its value. **
What should You consider when choosing the ring?
We offer a huge selection of different styles because we recognise that everyone has different tastes. Traditionally diamond solitaires are the most popular engagement rings, followed by clusters and today also the beautiful Trilogy rings. Many people choose to have a coloured gemstone engagement ring such as sapphire, ruby or emerald. It really comes down to likes and dislikes.
If you are choosing together have a look at as many of our ring styles as possible and narrow down your choice. If you are surprising her with a ring then think about her preferences. What are her favourite colours? What other jewellery does she wear?
Apart from stone type you will need to consider style and practicality too. Does she prefer modern or traditional? Does she wear yellow or white gold jewellery or maybe platinum?
When we consider practicality we advise you to think about the type of profession she has as this can possibly affect your decision on ring settings. For example if the lady worked outside, say as a riding instructor it would probably not be practical for her to have a high set diamond that may catch on things and become damaged. Most rings and most professions do not present a problem however it is just something to be aware of when making your selection.
Remember also that one day you will be choosing a wedding band to sit along side your engagement ring so the two will need to go together.
If all this sounds a little overwhelming don't worry. Our experienced staff are on hand to help you whether you choose to purchase your engagement ring online or by visiting one of our stores. We can show you a range of engagement rings that suit not only your budget but also your individual requirements. Remember the most important thing is choose a ring you love and just enjoy the whole occasion!
You don't need worry about ring size either. If you are choosing the ring for the bride to be and don’t know her size we can adjust the ring for you at a later date should this be required ***
And in the very unlikely event that she does not like the ring you have chosen for her we offer a 30-Day Change of Mind Guarantee so you can return it to us within 30 days (with the receipt and in its original condition & packaging). We will be happy to provide an exchange or a refund****. Please see our returns section for full terms and conditions.
Why not have a look at some of our engagement rings now and you will see the extensive range we offer. And that's not all. Purchase your engagement ring from us and you’ll receive a voucher entitling you to 10% discount off your wedding rings (offer not exchangeable for cash. One voucher per transaction).
We hope that you will find your perfect ring with us and we congratulate you both on your forthcoming engagement.

**If purchased in store, please request a valuation at time of purchase. For Online diamond purchases, your valuation certificate will arrive up to 7 - 10 days after you have received your diamond purchase via the post.
