Bailey & Sons of Berkhamsted stock a wide range of fine diamond jewellery and, with a master jeweller to undertake commissions, we can make pieces to order. Diamond earrings, diamond engagement rings, diamond necklaces and diamond bracelets are a speciality. You might be interested in the following brief explanation of the 4 "C" characteristics of diamonds:
 
Cut is the way that the rough diamond has been shaped into a gemstone. The most usual cut is the "modern brilliant" cut which, with 58 facets, maximises the diamond's sparkle. Fancy cuts which include pear shape, marquise, emerald cut and princess cut, can be very attractive alternatives.
 
Clarity is a way to describe marks and flaws within a diamond. Tiny, so called "inclusions", are small pieces of black carbon or other minerals. External blemishes, on the surface of the stone, are also incorporated into the Clarity score of a diamond. Diamonds are formally graded according to the following scale: FL (Flawless), IF (Internally flawless), VVS1 & VVS2 (Very very slightly imperfect), S1 & VS2 (Very slightly imperfect), SI1 & SI2 (Slightly imperfect), I1, I2 & I3 (Imperfect).
 
Colour is extremely important. A pure white or colourless diamond is the best. However, diamonds come in many shades of colour and this determines the price. Diamond colour is graded from D to Z with D being colourless (the very best) and Z representing a yellowish colour. We are proud to offer a range of D colour diamond jewellery from Candour, contact us for details.
 
Carat is the weight of the diamond: 1 carat = 0.2 grams. So, gemstones may appear to be the same size (diameter) but due to differences in the depth of cut and/or the density of the material the weights, or carat weights, will differ. Do not confuse the carat weight of diamonds with the carat used for the purity of gold, they are quite different aspects of diamond jewellery.
 
Bailey's stocks a wide range of gold and silver jewellery from top designers including:
 
Kit Heath, a British designer, who creates beautiful tactile designs in sterling silver. Kit Heath pieces may be worn both in the day and evening. This elegant collection of contemporary style led jewellery will take your breath away.
 
Wharton diamond jewellery is stunning. And all the diamonds used are sourced under The Kimberley Process. This is an international certification program that regulates the trade in rough diamonds. It prevents the trade in conflict or blood diamonds whilst helping to protect the trade in legal diamonds.
 
Chamilia is all about designing your own jewellery. Select beads or charms for your own bracelet and necklace. "The wonderful beauty of the beads is that they can be combined on a bracelet to create thousands of different looks as unique as the woman who wears it". There are hundreds of charm beads to choose from, one for every occasion and mood.
 
Bailey's also keeps a significant range of international watch brands including Frederique Constant, Michel Herbelin, Tissot, Citizen Watches, Skagen of Denmark, Pulsar, Seiko, ICE, Casio and Lorus.
 
Frederique Constant watches are set apart by their ultra high quality and precision design and manufacture. Beautiful watches for men and women, the quality of design, materials and manufacture is key to the success of Frederique Constant. Truly magnificent watches at affordable prices.
 
For the ultimate dress watch Bailey and Sons are stockists for Christina of London. All wrist watches in the Masterpiece Collection are of Danish design and are Swiss made using full round cut diamonds at competitive prices. Every wristwatch is encrusted with certified full round cut diamonds of Top Wesselton (F-G) / VVS quality. These are very special diamond pieces.
 
Bailey's is an official dealer for the Citizen Eco-Drive watch which uses a technically advanced power and storage system. A solar panel and energy cell are the power provider for Citizen Eco drive quartz watches - power means that the supply is limitless and free.
 
Pure, pretty, smart design, ICE-WATCH watches are as cool as ice! Fun watches in fun colours are at the cutting edge of watch fashion. An ice - watch is a must have item for the fashion conscious: The Saturdays wear them!
 
Baileys are proud to stock Skagen watches. Skagen reflects the creative Danish spirit with clean, elegant designs, very skilful craftsmanship and technical perfection. When you own a piece from the Skagen Collection, you become part of a worldwide community of Skagen owners who believe in a philosophy of design and manufacturing excellence. Everything Skagen Designs does is shaped by the Danish heritage.
