» Ring of diamonds
Bespoke jewellers Ring design and make jewellery tailored to the individual, as well as ensuring that all their gemstones are ethically sourced
Nowadays the public are asking (and quite rightly so) about where precious stones are sourced. With the movie Blood Diamond and demonstrations by the stars at last year’s Oscars, consumers are now wondering if a girl’s best friend may be someone else’s worst enemy.
Ring is a bespoke jewellers in the heart of Brighton’s lanes that takes the issue of conflict gemstones very seriously. At Ring all the jewellery is new and is made either especially for the customer to their design, or for stock.
This means that as there is no second-hand jewellery, the origin of the stones can be traced, thus ensuring the stones are conflict-free. To make our customers feel even more secure, Ring has just launched a range of diamond engagement rings that have accompanying documentation to reassure clients that the diamond they have purchased is conflict-free.
Ring only stock ethically-sourced stones, but these diamonds will actually have a ‘certificate of origin’ to prove where they were mined, cut, and polished. Crossreferenced with this will be a GIA certificate (the most recognised gem grading laboratory in the world). This means customers will get a precise grade of their diamond. Lastly, the diamonds will have a laser-etched serial number on their girdle (edge) only visible through a huge magnification to prove the certificate matches the diamond.
Ring specialises in diamond engagement rings and wedding bands.
Although this contemporary jewellers stocks a vast range of jewellery in its windows, the emphasis is on designing and making for the individual. Having the emphasis on design means customers can get exactly what they want instead of being limited by what is in the window. The process can be as simple as a white gold ring from the window being remade in platinum, or as intricate as your own idea being made from scratch.
The shop has many visual tools to help you picture your final design. All of the design consultations at Ring are free of charge and the relaxed atmosphere means that customers are welcome to go away with a quote to think about the design.
