The careful process of setting stones requires patience and years’ worth of experience, skills shared by our in-house expert setters at 8 Ely Place. Each diamond or precious stone within our collections is set by hand in London.
At the final stage of the manufacture process, our experts use machines and hand-held tools to polish each piece of fine jewellery, removing uneven surfaces and revealing the natural lustre of the precious metal, ready to be presented in our showrooms or to our client. Each design is stamped with the our hallmark and finished with a 'Made In London' seal, as a guarantee that it meets the highest quality standards.
