Combine that with a diamond shopping trip. USA rocks are cheaper than UK. For a different experience try Cochin in India. My small rock has been assessed in the UK at twice what I paid for it in Inja, but beware as there are as many cowboys as Indians there.Originally posted by Churchill View PostI fancy a beach somewhere.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

All of it has been valued over here and is usually valued at around 6 or 7 times the price paid for it.I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

I did that when I was pissed one afternoon about ten years ago.Originally posted by Board Game Geek View PostHatton Garden is a good place to start, you can spend a good few hours there walking up one end and down the other, and ofc you can get customised rings if you wish.
I wasted £550 on a sovereign mounted in the most hideous mounting imaginable.
Her Ladyship was not impressed.
Mind you, she kept it.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
