When you print out the Ring and Finger Sizer make sure that you print at 100%. Do not select the ‘scale to fit page’ or ‘shrink to fit page’ option. You should check that the print is the correct size by measuring the 4cm line printed at the bottom using a ruler.

The Ring and Finger Sizer should be used as a guide only. For the greatest accuracy, please pop into your local jewellers who should be happy to measure your finger for you.

How can I find out the details about a diamond's quality?

When you open an item on our web site, the Diamond Guide section describes the Cut, Colour, Clarity, Carat Weight, Polish, Symmetry and Proportions.

Each diamond is handpicked and graded by our in-house gemologist using the state of the art equipment to determine the colour, cut and clarity. The diamond is supplied with a Diamond Report from us that confirms the details shown in the diamond guide section.

To give you extra piece of mind, many of our diamonds are also supplied with an independent Diamond Report from the GIA, IGI, HRD or EGL - the world’s leading diamond grading laboratories. If your diamond is supplied with an independent Diamond Report, you can view the report by clicking on the View Report button under the picture.

If there are no details in the Diamond Guide section, then it should be no lower than H colour and I1 clarity. Email or call us and we’ll take look at the diamond and give you an indication of its colour and clarity.

I've seen a two diamonds on your site with very similar specifications but one has a slightly better colour. Why are they the same price?

We handpick our diamonds from parcels and occasionally we'll find a diamond with superior presence and beauty at a great price. On this occasion, even though the diamond with the slightly higher grading is more valuable that the other diamond, we have passed the saving onto you, the customer. They're both beautiful diamonds - the diamond with the higher grading is just better value.

Why are your diamond ring mounts so beautiful?

Our engagement rings are handcrafted to suit the size, cut and shape of each individual diamond.

Our competitors tend to buy diamonds according to standard sizes so each diamond fits a standard sized mount. This makes setting the diamond cheaper but it means that you have to compromise the diamonds cut and beauty.

Our diamonds are handpicked for their beauty only - not their size. Each mount is handmade to fit each individual diamond. That’s why our ring mounts are so beautiful.

Why are your diamonds so competitively priced?

Because our diamonds are sourced directly from the world's leading diamond cutting centres, we cut out the diamond dealers who act as middlemen to the cutting centres. We pass any savings that we make to our customers.

We also buy our diamonds before they are graded by the IGI. We buy the diamonds without a certificate, we grade the diamonds and then we send it to the IGI for certification. Pre-certified diamonds can carry a premium over loose stones without a certificate. That’s why our diamonds are superior quality at the most competitive prices.

Where do your diamonds come from?

Our diamonds are sourced from various locations around the world including Canada, Africa, Australia and Russia.

We only trade with suppliers that provide us with written guarantees that their diamonds are conflict free.

Conflict diamonds are those sold in order to fund armed conflict and civil wars. Profits from the trade in conflict diamonds are used to buy arms.

All invoices for the sale of diamonds and jewellery containing diamonds to us include a written guarantee that states they are conflict free.

Help stop the trade in conflict diamonds. Ask for conflict-free.
