COVE JEWELLERY

All items are designed in house with the customers thoughts & ideas, then handcarved in wax, utilising the lost wax casting process, giving a sculptural and fluid feel to the piece and offers more freedom and potential for unique and individual designs.

Metals

9ct yellow / white gold, 18ct yellow / high Palladium white gold & Platinum. Gents Jewellery will be produced in Silver or 9ct gold and will be available from Spring 2008.

Coloured Stones

Virtually any stone can be sourced and are broken down into two catagories : Semi precious ( Amethyst, Citrine, Garnet, Peridot, Blue topaz and iolite )  will be set into 9ct gold.  Precious coloured stones ( Sapphire, tourmaline, tanzanite etc ) will be set into 18ct gold or Platinum.

Diamonds

All Diamonds sourced will be of a grade G/vs in colour & clarity, which are in the top 4 grades of fine, collection quality diamonds, unless the customer specifies a higher grade, and are available from sizes 0.02ct through to 0.50ct, with all other common sizes inbetween, again unless the customer would prefer a larger stone.

Shapes of stone are available in : Brilliant cut, Princess, Trillion, Baguette, Marquise & Pear, with all Diamonds being set into 18ct gold or Platinum.

Sourcing of stones

All stones are sourced, conflict free from well established and reputable hatton garden and uk based Diamond and gemstone merchants, all regarded highly within the jewellery trade.

Hallmarking

All items are hallmarked above the minimum requirements set by the assay office, the hallmark consists of the following  :  Maker mark, Birmingham anchor mark, metal purity mark, crown mark and finally a date letter (  " K " for 2009 )

All items are created to the highest possible standard, from materials used through to craftsmanship and attention to detail, whether it be a stock design, commission, re-model, re-polish or repair, and the use of Rhodium plating does not exist with Cove jewellery as the 18ct white gold used contains palladium within the gold alloy which gives strength and colour, eliminating the need for the deceptive technique known as rhodium plating.

SERVICES

Cove Jewellery offer commissions, stock designs, re-modelling, repairs & alterations ( subject to initial evaluation ) & re-polishing.
