The Responsible Choice
Buying antique jewellery is both ethical and eco-friendly as harmful and destructive mining processes are not needed to make an item yours.

№ 538K
This shank ring is 18ct gold with a silver top. The design is a lover’s knot with graded old mine cut diamonds. It is also known as a Stafford knot. The Earls of Stafford retained the knot for use on heraldic badges, although the exact date of use is unknown. The design also closely matches the early design of the pretzel, which was made to represent arms crossed in prayer. In my opinion the shank is a later addition to this ring which is not a bad thing as it is strong and secure. so you can take your pick of a Lovers knot or a Stafford Knot. Either way it looks lovely when worn.

Excellent experience from start to finish, I didn't have a clue what I was doing when looking at engagement rings but was very happy with my purchase. And it seemed to do the trick as she happily said yes :)
The engagement ring we bought from the AJC was perfect, and the service provided was very friendly and attentive. I haven't got anything bad to say!
Service was unbeatable - worked to an extremely tight time scale and dedivvered without a hitch. The ring is perfect and I'm proud to see it on the hand of my fiancé. You guys have made us both very happy!
Can't say enough about the amazing service we received. They have the most exquisite selection of jewellery and really take the time to help you decide. I would strongly recommend a visit.
Olly was so lovely and helpful, which is exactly what you need when you're buying an engagement ring.
