The Rise of Male Engagement Ring
It is usually customary for the lady to be presented with an engagement ring but why don’t men wear one?. It seems rather unfair that the lady receives a beautiful ring and the man doesn’t. It would make sense that a couple both wear an engagement ring to symbolise their intention to get married.

In a society where women are taking the lead more often then they used to in popping the question, it would make sense that they present their partner with a...
The Importance of Up To Date Insurance V...
We, at Christopher Stoner Fine Jewellery, have sadly seen a number of people unable to replace lost or stolen jewellery with exact replacements due to out of date valuations. Jewellery valuations should be done every couple of years to ensure items are adequately insured. Diamonds and precious metals have increased in price by almost 15% in the last year.

So, if the worst was to happen to this diamond ring and an up to date valuation wasn’t in place, then you might...

There is a myth that having a custom made engagement ring is more...
Is going for a pre-owned engagement ring...
In a tough economic climate, you can’t blame someone for thinking about going for a pre-owned engagement ring. Is there stigma attached to presenting someone with an engagement ring that has been previously owned? Pre-owned rings can sometimes be associated with an antique style of jewellery. However, this is not necessarily the case. There are plenty of modern and contemporary pieces of jewellery that are classed as pre-owned. Have you ever thought about what happens to an engagement ring if a couple gets divorced or falls out of love with the ring and...
