Can anybody recommend a jeweller to reset a diamond in a platinum ring? Any specific jewellers in Hatton Garden etc? Would be good to get a personal recommendation.


When I got my engagement ring 18 months ago I stupidly chose 18ct white gold, not realising it is just yellow gold with a white gold coating and needs to be re-coated every year. I think it would be cheaper in the long term to have it reset now rather than pay out each year.


Thank you

We used them too - for my engagement ring and we made our own wedding rings there too. They are excellent - no fancy showroom (which you are paying for in increased prices), just a workshop with excellent designers. We used Chris Randall (think that's his surname, off the top of my head). He was really good. We've also recommended a few people to go there and they've all been really happy with the service and quality.


Would highly recommend.

Philiphenslowe, are you sure you need it re-coated every year?


My engagement and wedding rings are white gold, and 5-6 years later are looking a bit lived-in, but certainly don't need annual plating. Of course, if platinum is your preference do go ahead but personally I think white gold is a prettier colour.

My rings are also white gold, and I've never needed to have them re-coated (engagement ring is 6 years old, wedding ring nearly 5). They're a bit duller than they used to be but still look really nice and are shinier than friend's rings made of platinum (which goes quite dull and almost grey looking).


Might be worth questioning it at the shop you got it from, as I don't think you should need it done so soon.

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
