What The Hatton Garden Guide is — and what it is not

The Hatton Garden Guide is an independent buyer's platform. We are not a jeweller. We are not a directory. We do not sell rings, diamonds, or anything else you can put on your finger.

We exist because the jewellery industry has been opaque for too long. Walk into Hatton Garden without preparation and you have no way to know whether a price is fair, whether a diamond certificate actually means what the jeweller says it means, or whether the shop you are standing in is the right one for what you need.

That is the problem we set out to solve. Not by becoming another jeweller, but by giving buyers the tools and information to make their own informed decisions.

What we do

We write guides that explain what actually matters — not textbook gemology, but the practical knowledge that changes how you shop. What the 4Cs look like on a real hand. What things genuinely cost. Which jewellers are best for which type of buyer.

We build interactive tools — a ring builder, a size finder, a price checker — that let you do 80% of the work before you set foot on Hatton Garden. When you walk in, you are confirming a decision, not starting from scratch.

We review jewellers honestly. When a shop is excellent for bespoke but overpriced for standard designs, we say that. When an online-first jeweller offers better transparency than a showroom, we say that too. No one pays us to write a review, and no review is ever approved by the jeweller before publication.

Our perspective

We respect the tradition. Hatton Garden has been London's diamond quarter since the 1800s, and the craft knowledge in these workshops is real and irreplaceable. But we see it through modern eyes. The old advice was “find a jeweller you trust.” Our advice is “know what you want before you find a jeweller.”

We believe in transparency over mystique, informed decisions over impulse, and tools over salesmanship. If that matches how you approach a purchase this important, this guide was built for you.

Who builds this

The Hatton Garden Guide is built and maintained by Versionhash. We design and build digital products — and we believe every industry deserves better tools for the people buying in it.
