Hi
So I need to get a diamond mounted in London, can anyone advise a good workshop and designer?
I'm looking for a simple elegant solitaire setting - nothing that looks too bulky/heavy. I quite like the look of the Cartier 1895 with the tapered band/shank? but don't like the circular shaped hole and base of the mount, where the prongs are set. So perhaps it's a mix of the simple DB Classic and the Cartier that I prefer.
I heard that most branded rings are hand finished and cast. Presumably all rings are cast? Therfore how are bespoke ones supposedly of better quality? Surely they are cast and hand finished also?!
When I held the DB Classic it seemed very light in comparison to the cartier. Both were platinum. Would it mean that the cartier is stronger or of better quality?
Thanks in advance
