@HockleyMint's Forever Collection’s engagement rings are about timeless styling, reinterpreting the popular trend for halo designs with a refined minimalist aesthetic. With innovative rub over settings, integrated halos beneath the centre stone and larger centre stone options, the line focuses on enhancing brilliance while maintaining clean, balanced proportions. New halo variations, including the unique Half Moon Halo, offer fresh silhouettes that combine contemporary design influences with classic elegance.

Only a couple of spaces left!

Most diamond grading courses focus on loose stones. The challenge comes when a diamond is already set, and that's exactly what this three-day workshop is designed to help with.

Our Assessing Mounted Diamonds course combines practical, hands-on learning with the theory behind diamond grading, giving you the confidence to assess and value mounted diamonds more accurately. It also fulfils the diamond grading pre-requisite for valuers working towards IRV membership.

You'll learn alongside a small cohort, with plenty of opportunities to share experiences, ask questions and learn from both your tutor and peers.

📅 10-12 November
