About Bond
We create all types of jewellery using the world’s finest gemstones and precious metals. Rings, earrings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets, bangles, charms, chains, tie clips, cufflinks, precious metal and gemstone accessories; anything you can conceive, we can create, along with stocking and sourcing the world’s luxury watch brands.
No, due to our streamlined, in-house creative process, we are able to deliver the highest standards of jewellery-making at prices that rival any of the well-known high street names.
Sadly, most jewellers these days look to buy-in their mounts and settings, on mass from abroad, simply to lower costs. Foreign jewellery means low metal weights and ‘production-line’ quality, lacking the diligence and care that comes as a standard from us. Issues with stone settings, over worked mounts, manufacturing quality and vale for money are the biggest complaints that we hear about competitor jewellery and we are extremely proud to make each piece uniquely for our customers, created and cared for every step of the way by our team in the jewellery quarter.
We usually work to a 3-4 week turnaround on our jewellery pieces but can exceed this timescale when requested. If you have a shorter lead time or more questions about our production times simply contact our team as we will always do our best to accommodate your needs with a custom piece. We also have a huge stock or ready-to-buy pieces to choose from.
Our love of jewellery-making and passion for bringing idea to life, truly sets us apart from other jewellers.
The relationships we covet and levels of care we offer to our clients makes our jewellery buying process very special and has upheld our track record for customer satisfaction. Our 'limitless design' approach, unrivalled gemstones and obsession with product quality are the reasons why proudly welcome you to work with us.
We are located at 11 The Big Peg, Birmingham, B18 6NA just 200 yards from the iconic Jewellery Quarter green clock.
Our opening hours are 10:30 to 5pm, Monday to Saturday.
Diamond & Gemstones
The colour, style, budget and desired appearance of your jewellery plays a huge part in deciding what gemstones are best suited. Diamond‘s are the most popular gemstone used in fine jewellery and the the popularity of lab grown diamonds now gives you options at a lower price point than classic natural-mined diamonds.
Working with all of the world’s gemstones means that we can find the perfect shape and colour of stone to suit your piece, whether it be a fancy coloured diamond, precious or semi-precious stone.
You will find hundreds of designs on this website, each can be tailored to present your preferred stone. Still unsure? Chat with one of our gemstone specialists today.
A diamond certificate, is a detailed report independently created by an external laboratory, assessing a stone and its attributes.
The diamond is evaluated, measured, and scrutinised in controlled conditions by a trained gemologist, outlining the cut, colour, clarity, carat weight and other characteristics of the stone. Grading reports are most commonly produced for diamonds but can also be provided for other gemstones upon request.
Yes, a certificate will confirm that the specifics of a diamond are true. While grading reports provide an external, unbiased assessment of a gemstone, the results can vary between grading laboratories with the process being a result of the independent assessment of the trained grader. To maintain our standards of excellence we only provide diamonds graded by the world’s leading laboratories; GIA, HRD and IGI.
Our diamonds are sourced from all over the world in compliance with the United Nations Kimberley process, confirming that all diamonds are conflict-free, mined, cut and sourced ethically. To learn the full provenance of a specific diamond, simply ask a member of our team.
Yes, we sell both natural-mined and lab grown diamonds which are graded as real and authentic diamonds.
Diamond buying can be a daunting task. With so many qualities, shapes, sizes and characteristics on offer. The perfect diamond is always a matter of personal preference. There are many intricate factors that affect diamond aesthetics and price so we always advise that customers speak with one of our experts to gain the very best understanding. Our diamond guide and 4C’s information pages also outline the key points that will help you make an informed decision. Many buyers are led by diamond size, others by quality and many look for a mixture of both, a decision that is always assisted by booking an appointment and viewing diamonds in person.
Your Jewellery
This is a common question from engagement ring buyers and we answer it with a portfolio of designs, broken down into sub categories for simplicity. You can scroll through our engagement rings whilst changing metals and diamond shapes, allowing you to compare all of our designs with ease.
With all pieces, we provide an insurance certificate outlining the exact specification of your piece and the insurable value in the event of its loss or damage (often around 40% more than the price you paid).
This should be passed onto your insurer. At Bond we recommend T H March (www.thmarch.co.uk) specialists in jewellery care and jewellery insurances packages. Quoting our reference ‘AB332T’ will allow us to validate your jewellery, confirming its legitimacy.
We are always on hand to measure finger sizes or existing rings at our showroom. Gauging a finger size can often be a difficult task for ring buyers but if the ring you have brought isn’t a perfect fit, we will resize it for you free of charge.
The answer to this question is completely subjective and must always come down to you and your situation. We always ensure clients get the very best value for their money so we advise you forget the rules and spend the amount that is perfect for you.
Again, a question of preference. We create jewellery in gold, white gold and rose gold at 9karat and 18karat purities, but always recommend 18 karat when creating pieces made with gemstones and diamonds.
Platinum is widely viewed as the most prestigious of precious metals, known for its strength and ability to maintain its shine and colour even when tarnished. For more information on precious metals or having a piece made in other materials, please contact us.
A hallmark is a mark stamped on all articles of gold, silver, palladium and platinum by the British Assay Office, signifying its authenticity and purity of metal. You will find a hallmark on every item of jewellery that we sell.
Yes, we offer free engraving on all rings, so be sure to add this to your order.
