Spectacular, sparkling, and utterly extraordinary — she is a sensation.

Eighty-eight round cut diamonds, pavé set across a broad 18ct white gold band —  At 22.2mm wide and 11.26g, she has a reassuring, substantial presence on the finger that is impossible to ignore. A milligrain border runs along each edge, adding a crisp, period-perfect finishing touch.

She was hallmarked in London in 1978 — the year of the Winter of Discontent, Grease, and the Silver Jubilee hangover. Somebody, somewhere, chose to spend serious money on serious diamonds. Forty-seven years later, she is aging magnificently.

Total diamond weight: 1.77ct estimated, SI clarity, H-I colour. Accompanied by an independent gemmologist's content appraisal. Sized EU 58 / UK Q½ / US 8.25, resizeable.

Our Jewellery

How do you assess your jewellery?

We fully appraise every item for both condition and content using close
inspection and industry-standard testing equipment. You can count on
each piece being in excellent condition consistent with age, unless
stated otherwise. Our mobile phone photographs show true images without
filters, including close-ups of both perfections and any imperfections.

What should I know about vintage and antique pieces?

We personally select all pre-owned pieces, rejecting over 95% of what we're offered. Most items are over 30 years old with previous owners and stories to tell. We research and analyse every piece using industry-standard methodology and provide written confirmation with your purchase. Our diamonds are earth-mined, though we don't research stone origins or enhancements due to limited resources.

What's your packaging like?

We use minimalist packaging — small, plain boxes that are discreet, robust, reusable, and minimise postal costs. No fancy packaging means better value for you.

Do you offer resizing?

Yes — every ring comes with a free resize. Simply leave us a note at checkout, email, or contact us on Instagram with your correct size. You can also use the Jason Withers App (Apple & Android) to measure an existing ring.

We offer this free resize so you can buy with confidence — the price you pay covers the craftsmanship, and we handle everything for you. Returns of resized rings are accepted, with a small adjustment for the goldsmith cost if applicable.
