Only what lasts.

Metals

Gold is measured in karats — the proportion of pure gold in the alloy. Higher karat means richer colour and more purity; lower karat means a harder, more hard-wearing metal.

• 10K & 14K — the most durable everyday golds, ideal for rings and pieces that take daily wear.
• 18K — a warmer, richer colour with excellent purity; a classic choice for fine engagement pieces.
• 22–24K — the deepest, purest gold colour, softer and best kept for pieces worn more gently.

Gold comes in yellow, white and rose — the same gold, alloyed with different metals for colour. White gold is finished with rhodium for its bright, cool tone and can be refreshed over the years; rose gold takes its blush from copper.

Platinum is denser, naturally white and hypoallergenic. It doesn't need rhodium and holds a stone securely for a lifetime; over time it develops a soft matte patina many people love — and it can be polished bright again whenever you like.

Sterling silver is a beautiful, accessible choice with a bright cool shine. It's softer than gold and will tarnish gently with air, which a quick polish restores.

Diamonds — natural & lab-grown

Natural and lab-grown diamonds are the same material — chemically, physically and optically identical, and equally graded. The difference is origin: one formed in the earth, the other grown in a lab. Lab-grown stones cost noticeably less for the same size and quality, which lets many people choose a larger or finer stone for the same budget. Neither is "better" — it's a personal choice, and we'll talk you through it.

Diamonds are judged on the four Cs — cut, colour, clarity and carat. Of the four, cut matters most for how a diamond actually sparkles. We help you balance the four against your budget rather than chase a number on paper.

Coloured gemstones

Sapphires (in every colour, not only blue), rubies, emeralds, spinels, tourmalines and more bring colour and character that no two stones share. Hardness varies — sapphires and rubies are exceptionally tough and suit daily wear, while emeralds and opals are softer and reward a gentler life. We'll match the stone to how the piece will be worn.

Sourcing

We work with conflict-free diamonds and responsibly sourced gemstones and metals, and you approve every stone before it's set. If provenance matters to you, ask — we're glad to talk about where a stone comes from.
