The owner, Sue Mounsey, tells us more about the company: “Our stones are of the highest quality available, we start by hand-cutting them and then hand-polishing to create a lasting lustre. All our items can be made from a variety of golds and sterling silver with gold/rhodium plating. For bespoke items, we discuss the customer’s dream ring and draw a computer-aided design to meet their specifications. Once they’re happy, we will manufacture the ring, which will take approximately six to eight weeks. Bespoke designs require a mould to be made, meaning it’s more time-consuming and expensive, but we are certain you will love the finished look and treasure it for many years. We also offer an after-care service should you ever want your items re-dipped, polished or repaired.” Discover more at www.desertdiamondsjewelry.com NEWS Nearlywed TRAVEL IN STYLE The Lake District is known for its breathtaking scenery, peaceful walks, and luxurious hotels, making it the perfect destination for a romantic getaway.
