Confused in Hatton Garden!

Options
I am looking to propose to my girlfriend in june and am currently looking for an engagement ring, after spending a few hours there I got really confused in who was reliable and who was not.

I heard about the 'far eastern platinum bands' that are floating around so each jewller I went to played me off the other lol

I am lookin to spend around 3k, its taken me ages to save for this which is why I need to know who the best people are too deal with around hatton gardens.

Please please help?...

Thanks in advance :money:

    Mine came from A&S. They've been in Hatton Garden for years and I'd recommend them. I have to say that when we looked there were a couple of jewellers we wouldn't have trusted as far as we could throw them. In the end we went back to A&S and got our wedding rings from there too.

    If you want to spend £3k on a ring, have saved for it and you want it to be special, go for it. Some people want to, others don't. It doesn't make either party right or wrong, just that people are different.

    I am getting my wedding ring from John M Reynolds on Hatton Garden. They're hand making it to my design :D Really good service so far and lovely enthusiastic staff.

    I got my engagement ring from Hamiltons, they were a bit cheaper than some other places but their diamonds aren't certificated
