A fine bank holiday morning greeting to all of you!

i seem to remember a while back someone on here offering their services as a trusted diamond dealer - i'm ready to make the step and pop the question to the misses - looking for advice on diamonds - sourcing - and price guidelines

not got a fortune to spend but - of course want something special - does anyone know of any creative jewellers - anything different - handmade touch - buying from a shop or online from thousands of very similar rings seems so impersonal

feel the love, share the love - this fine weekend!



cheers!

and before you ask - no that's not the misses on the avatar - i really should change it!

If the person you are referring to is the one I think you mean I'd give them a very wide berth.

I'd go with Hatton Garden... got my missus a wopper at a really good price....negotiate though...!

Definately, check out the charidee thread.

Best of luck.

Carat, clarity and colour - aren't they they golden rules? Bigger doesn't mean better.

I bought the missus' from a friend in Hatton Garden and the guys who run those shops are generally relatively cheaper than other locations.

I'd opt for an established trader rather than someone you don't know from this forum who purports to be a 'diamond dealer' for this once in a lifetime purchase.

Sling me a PM if you want to know the shop I used....
