Gold and platinum are the two metals most fine jewellery in Hatton Garden is built around, and the choice between them is not just about colour. It changes the weight, the price, the way a piece wears over decades. This category gathers EC1N specialists who work primarily in these metals, from pieces off the tray to made-to-order commissions.
Gold comes in yellow, white and rose, and it suits almost any setting or finish. Platinum is denser and naturally white, which is why so much diamond jewellery is set in it, and why a platinum band holds its colour without the rhodium re-plating white gold eventually needs. The 11 jewellers listed here can walk you through that trade-off in plain terms rather than steering you toward whatever is on the shelf.
Most also offer stone-set work, resizing, remodelling and full bespoke design, backed by the local network of setters, polishers and valuers that has sat in this district for generations. Listings cover rings, wedding bands, earrings, bracelets and necklaces. If you are after a diamond ring in particular, ask which metal the workshop recommends for the setting and the long-term security of the stones.
Browse the businesses below and book an appointment to handle both metals side by side. The difference is obvious the moment you pick them up.
