Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    My partner wanted to buy my engagement ring from Hatton Garden so we set out to research where to visit ahead of going.

    I reached out to a number of shops regarding having a bespoke ring made and we went along to our appointments.
    Each shop we visited felt like we were being over sold to (think cheesy car sales).

    The rings we were shown we nice but we just felt that there was nothing particularly special about any of them.

    Our last stop was to meet Vince at Hatton Garden Jewellers. I had read all the reviews and done research on HGJ so knew what to expect. There was no shop front and we were buzzed up to the workshop which was far more relaxing for us in that environment!

    Vince was great, he is a mastor of what he does and has a great team working with him. Vince took on our instruction along with our budget and gave us a number of options, we immediately knew we wanted to choose Vince to create the ring. We made a number of follow up appointments to choose our stones, we were talked through the quality v price and learnt alot in our visit.

    Vince takes so much pride in his work and will make sure you are 100% happy with your jewellery. We are already looking forward to returning for our wedding bands! Thank you Vince!

    Excellent shop checked out the solid stick umbrellas and will be back in December to purchase one. It's long been on my list as a country and hillwalking umbrella to buy a sound instrument for protection from the elements, should last a lifetime.

    We wanted our get our eldest grandson some diamond studs for his upcoming twenty-first Birthday.We took his younger brother and his mother and were looked after brilliantly by Maxat Heera Diamonds.The original diamond studs we saw in the window were out of our price range but Max very kindly went through various options to reduce the price and we went for the Lab diamonds .We all enjoyed the experience and we were kept in touch by Max as to the slight delay in collecting the studs.Today we picked them up and were delighted with the diamond studs with the gold backing and luckily Max was there so we could thank him personally.We will definitely be going back again.

    From the engagement ring to our wedding rings Daniel has been brilliant. So helpful getting exactly what we wanted. Had so many comments about our rings since the wedding. We’d never use anyone else.

    Honestly just a great experience all round. I am someone who likes to make sure that I do as much research as possible before buying an item. So what I loved about Flawless, was the ability to break down what your are buying to really help customise the ring to what you want it to be. The designs of the rings are amazing, the quality and quantity of the Diamonds available really allows you to narrow down your selection to what suits you. The website it simple and easy to use so made the process a breeze

    What also really helped was the amazing support available, it was fast and efficient to contact their sales team to discuss options.

    I also went a step further to make an appointment to ensure that the options I had selected were best for me. I had an amazing meeting with Daniel, who helped support me throughout the virtual meeting. He was patient and really provided expert opinions on the choices available, he went above and beyond and helped me to selected a combination that i was so pleased with, it was a pleasure to chat to him

    I visited Queensmith (next door to Hearts, but same company) to buy my girlfriend (now fiancée!) an engagement ring. What could have been a stressful experience was made simple and easy by all the staff, but particularly Sarah-Jane. As a complete diamond novice, I appreciated her advice and guidance, as well as her friendly and enthusiastic approach. My girlfriend loved the ring too, so I would highly recommend for any diamond/jewellery purchase.

    Had new engagement ring and wedding ring made. Marie was so helpful, spent lots of time with us, explaining everything and designing them. I absolutely love my new rings and would recommend to anyone to give them a visit

    After years searching for a ring to celebrate over 21 years together. And changing my mind weekly. We went back to Madisons for the second year running on our yearly trip to Hatton Garden. My partner had remembered Alan wanted to have a look there again. Thats where I found my ring. All the staff are so attentive & went above and beyond to let me take the ring home that day. I had it made smaller and engraved with '21' - whilst we popped to the pub and waited! I really am over the moon and will be popping in to say next time we are in the area. Excellent choice, excellent value and even better service. Thanks Madisons!

    This used to be a lovely building. It has associations with Charles Dickens. There is I agree some debate whether it was the original Curiosity shop mentioned by Dickens but when he mentioned it it was due to be demolished to make way for the new. However, some historians state it is the original as plans were changed to enable the building to be kept. Sometimes change is necessary to preserve and some would say its has been preserved whilst surrounding buildings have long gone. As in the vein of OFAH triggers broom no matter with new paint work, door, windows and tiles it is still the same building. Yet it has lost its uniqueness, its quirkiness and it now now stands as a clinical reminder of what it once was

    We recently used Ovadia to get our wedding bands and to have my engagement ring altered and we couldn’t be happier with the service. Hannah was very patient with our various back-and-forth changes and we never felt pressured to make our purchases (unlike with many other jewellers in the area). All round a very enjoyable experience and we’d definitely go back again :)

    Fantastic and professional service.
    The next day after I mailed my old jewelry to London Gold Service I was called with a great price, I accepted and the money was transferred immediately. Fair price, quick service, and friendly staff.
    Highly recommend!

    Absolutely LOVE my engagement ring and bespoke wedding band. For the bespoke band I went with an idea of what I wanted and through discussion with Karl ended up with something so much better. The falling leaves engraved on my wedding band reflect the design of my dress and the theme of our day with homegrown flowers and greenery at the heart of it - Thank you so much :)

    Friendly, welcoming, helpful but not pushy!
    I was so surprised to have Khurram know exactly what I wanted without me having to explain too much. We went for a special gift and knew that this was the place to buy from after the service we received.
    Staff are very knowledgeable and also provide great value.
    Thank you very much for my perfect sapphire ring 😀
