Setting loose diamond in London

[mrkidd]

Hi everyone

Just wondering if anyone here had any experience of getting a loose diamond set in London, UK. I have purchased a diamond (a very nice little asscher), but waiting until I get it set. Any recommendations on high quality bespoke jewellers? I am thinking I might just go to the Hatton Garden district and see what I can find there.

Thanks alot

Thanks for the welcome Lorelei!

Rosetta - I will get in touch with Daniel Prince or go to visit and let you know.

Great forum by the way, I read a lot of posts while trying to decide what stone to get, hopefully I will get some pictures up of the finished article once completed.

Daniel Prince has a very good reputation so I would second using them.

Richard Ogden in Burlington Arcade might be another possibility especially if you were interested in something antique looking. Their bench have done some work for me and I was very pleased.

Thanks for the page Lorelei
