Can you buy an engagement ring without a diamond?
Some people would see this as ridiculous. Why would you want to purchase a diamond ring, without the diamond. Well, let us explain.
Clients choose us for many products and services. Some purchase the complete ring. This is the ideal option. But people’s circumstances vary. Some clients own existing diamonds. Many of these diamonds are already set into rings. Some clients choose to move their diamond into a new ring mount. A pre-purchased diamond or an inherited diamond, or an investment diamond might possibly require a setting. People do not always purchase a complete ring. Since our list of clientele includes trade and public, we work in many ways for different clients.
We re-mount diamonds every week. Some are heirloom diamonds, whilst others are pre-owned, or purchased elsewhere. Our services are flexible, working to individual circumstances.
This is where we step in.
Both retailers and private clients utilise our services to supply the following :
A finished ring mount – purchased for you to have the diamond set locally.
A finished ring mount – with the diamond sent to us for setting.
A partially set ring mount (diamond shoulders or halo pre-set) – for you to have the diamond set locally.
A partially set ring mount (diamond shoulders or halo pre-set) – with the diamond sent to us for setting.
How does the process start?
Initially we ask for a little detail on your stone. We also ask for details of the ring design you would like. Details like finger size and metal choice. We then quote timescale, and cost, providing additional instructions. Guidance on how to submit a diamond to us.
We provided some additional guidance on the topic of buying just a mount or setting only, which is worth reading, but our comments are open below or feel free to contact us for additional guidance.
