Birmingham-based fine jewellery manufacturer Hockley Mint will now offer any of its mounts fully finished with diamonds for the first time.

Its mounts have always been available set with small outer stones, but previously only up to 0.1ct and not as fully finished solitaires. In response to feedback from retailers, Hockley Mint’s award-winning mounts can now be ordered with a GIA-certified G VS clarity diamond as standard, although other qualities and more unusual stones can also be sourced on request. Alternatively, mounts can – as ever – be set with a customer’s own stones if they prefer.

Hockley Mint can also source and supply stones for bespoke design jobs that are manufactured on its premises in the heart of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter.

Poppy Elder, creative manager of Hockley Mint, said: “We have made this move in order to support our retail partners. Supplying fully finished mounts makes it easier than ever for retailers to order a finished product from us, which they know will be a high-quality ring that has been made in Britain.”

Retailers interested in the new ordering fully finished mounts should contact Hockley Mint’s design department on 0121 242 0050 or design@hockleymint.co.uk.
