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.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
