Tobi Gems is a master diamond jeweller based in Hatton Garden, and not a conventional jewellery shop. The master jeweller started as an apprentice stone setter and has more than 40 years behind him. He has always kept the workshop on-site, which is unusual in Hatton Garden. That in-house setup means bespoke jewellery is designed and made under one roof. There is a large selection of precious gemstones, plus hundreds of certified and non-certified diamonds to choose from for made-to-order pieces, and a personalised service keeps you updated through the manufacturing process. Alongside the rings made in-house, the shop stocks antique and branded items, including names such as Cartier and Tiffany's, with pieces dating back as far as the early Victorian jewellery period.

At World Gemological Institute, all of the gemologists are graduates of the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) with years of industry experience. Staff keep their training current through seminars, lectures and advanced gemological studies, including the Fellowship (FGA) through the Gemological Association of Great Britain (Gem-A). Diamond colour is graded on the lack of colour. A pure, structurally perfect diamond has no hue, like a drop of clear water, which raises its value. The D to Z scale assesses colour by comparing a stone against master stones of established value. Cut is about how well a diamond's facets interact with light, which takes precise workmanship to get the proportions, symmetry and polish right. Clarity comes down to the internal inclusions and external blemishes formed as the diamond grew under heat and pressure; the closer to pure, the higher the value. Carat weight measures how much a diamond weighs, with one metric carat set at 200 milligrams and each carat divided into 100 points for stones below a carat.

Holts Gems has been part of the UK jewellery trade since 1948 and is now run by its second generation. The multi-award-winning family business works with Gem-A and GIA certified gemmologists and designers, and through its sister company holds one of the largest gemstone stocks in the country. The speciality is bespoke diamond and gemstone engagement rings, wedding rings and other custom pieces. You can have one of the firm's own designs recreated or bring an idea of your own, and the work is built around each customer rather than off the shelf. For anyone after a ring made to their brief, it is a sensible place to start.
