Neil is an expert in diamond selection
Today, there is a huge amount of information about diamonds online, and most of it can be included in the '4Cs' - Colour, Clarity, Carat and Cut. Delving through the information yourself can be a minefield, much of what you'll find is driven by price and salesmanship rather than careful and considered knowledge. Neil, with 25 years of diamond purchasing experience, knows the subtle characteristics of these unique stones, and considers all the elements to make the right choice for your one off design in the making.
Neil will guide you through a collection of specially selected stones
In most cases, Neil selects his diamonds with a good idea of the design ahead, yet he sometimes alters designs to best suit the chosen stone. Neil chooses a perfect selection of stones to fit both budget and those '4Cs' - Colour, Clarity, Carat, Cut. In the comfort of our Bute Street Studio, you can relax and look at the beauty of the diamonds tailor picked for you, while Neil talks through the qualities of each one in detail. Topics might include proportion, or the colour verses clarity. Whatever points are discussed, they will all be explained, and each diamond comes with a unique certification along with Neil's knowledge. He will always give you his preferred stone choice but ultimately if you fall in love with one particular stone, you can be assured that you have made the best choice.
