Engagement rings - Hatton Garden (or other) recommendations?
Discussion
Hello all, engagement ring time.
Have done a search and found quite a few interesting/informative threads on here which have answered many of my original questions.
So far:
- Don't buy on the high street
- Cut (quality) is king
- Clarity/colour somewhat less important
Already done the proposal and planning on going with the fiancée to have a look at diamonds/rings this week.
I'm not too keen to buy online (though prices seem competitive), although I've read about the desired specs for best sparkle (depth % etc) there's no substitute for seeing it in real life.
Old threads recommended trips over to the US or Antwerp - does this still hold true?
We're based in London and it seems that Hatton Garden is the go to place locally. Any specific recommendations?
Budget is around 4k, round brilliant cut with either white gold or platinum band.
Are Nightmare or Lord Summerisle still around?
TIA
