Shopping in Hatton Garden

[horsewithnoname]

Hello,


Where is the best place in London/Hatton Garden to go for the following

* Sapphires stones with max cost 500 UK Pounds
* Emeralds stones with max cost 500 UK Pounds
* Colour Change Garnet
* Other semi precious eg aquamarine, chrysoberyl, tourmaline, peridot etc with a max value per stone of around 200 UK pounds

Although I am sure I could get great deals online, I would rather see and touch what I will buy. Any other tips for shopping for gems in London would be appreciated.

I went to browse in Hatton Garden last year, and found they have turned a number of bigger shop units into multiple stalls/smaller units.

Quite a few CS vendors as well as setting vendors.

Can't recommend anyone as I was browsing only and did not ask about prices much.

Besides, I prefer buying from online vendors, as I find they offer better value for money - I have not purchased any high end jewellery and paid UK prices since I discovered internet shopping in the late 90s.

Good luck!

I bought an aquamarine piece from this seller, although it was an online purchase! They were very helpful. I'm sure they sell loose aquas and some other stones too.
