The Responsible Choice
Our jewellery is Conflict Free and Eco-Friendly and when purchasing an item from us you can be sure you are not contributing to any unethical procedures.
When buying new jewellery you can never be 100% sure that they are not conflict free.
Choosing antique means:
you are buying conflict-free
you are not contributing in any way to a locally destructive cycle of violence, warfare, economic inequality, exploitation and human suffering
you can have total confidence that your money is not supporting industrial practices that destroy the environment, poison the land or displace disadvantaged people
you are helping to eliminate the need for more mining and lessening the demand for new diamonds and precious stones
your item most likely predates any regional conflicts associated with the diamond trade and precious gemstone mining
you will be reducing your carbon footprint
you are acting as conservator rather than consumer

We are pleased to offer Complimentary Sizings on all ring purchases, undertaken by one of the best jewellers in the business.
You can find out your ring size now by downloading our nifty Ring Measurer Thingy.
Sometimes it can be tricky finding out her size without being caught. In these circumstances we recommend saving your free sizing until after you've proposed or the recipient has received their ring. Just send your ring back to us via secure post or visit us at our London showroom and we will measure your partner's finger and take it to get sized.
Please note:
Our offer is only valid on the first ring purchase per customer.
Your free sizing will remain valid for 1 year after purchase.
Thereafter, ring sizings are charged at £60.00 each.
Sizings usually take 2-3 working days but can vary depending on our jeweller's workload. We always try and get rings sized as quickly as possible.
We have marked clearly beneath our items which rings can be sized. If you are unsure please let us know.
Certain rings are not able to be sized due to their design, eg. eternity rings or Georgian rings with ornately carved shanks. In these cases we feel the integrity of the rings would be damaged if sizing took place.
