I have been using Holts for over 20 years and they never fail, my recent piece was for my wife's 60th, a natural pink diamond, that was affordable and work with the design I had in mind, Alicja's patience, ideas, support and desire to ensure I get what I wanted was second to none. The piece was perfect!
Thank you all again
Seamless experience
Seamless experience. I had the pleasure of being helped by May who struck the perfect balace of encouraging, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly.
I had absolutely no idea where to start and we ended up with a perfect ring that my now fiancée is in love with. Thank you to May and the Holts team. Would recommend Holts wholeheartedly to anyone thinking about an engagement or getting any piece of jewellery made.
Exceptional creativity, expertise, service and value
I can't recommend Alicja and the whole team at Holts Gems highly enough.
They are expert in every possible way when it comes to gems and jewellery design and creation. The quality and creativity of their work and their customer service is second to none.
We have had the pleasure of working with Alicja and the Holts team for nearly 20 years now, with Holts creating many important and much loved pieces for us, always with exceptional service and value.
Highly recommended.
Amazing service
Honestly cannot recommend enough Holts Gems.
I have visited 6+ stores and I’ve never found another one that comes close to the dedication, attention to detail and actually listening to what the client wants rather than selling the most expensive gem.
Absolutely wonderful.
You couldn’t ask for better
This review is at least 8 months overdue but let the fact it’s been on my mind all that time that I needed to get to it be testament in itself to how grateful I am to the team at Holts.
Holts were involved in the process of my engagement ring from the first assessment and valuation of the stone to the appointment to choose a design to executing the finished product and I can’t imagine having used any other company.
The time, care, and genuine excitement they put into the process made my experience all the more special, and their understanding of the personal value the stone in my ring had to my family and the story behind it made me feel in such safe hands.
The personal consult to choose a setting was done with so much care and patience (especially when I was very indecisive!), and gave me the space that led to choosing something I never would have expected but ended up completely perfect. The finished product exceeded all expectations, and I am so happy that I decided to trust the experts and the process.
Whatever gem or jewellery services you’re in need of, I truly could not recommend Holts any higher. My ring has a whole host of stories behind it, and the wonderful team at Holts will now always be one of them.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for taking so much care and professionalism in what you do.

Emerald and sapphire rings and pendants
We have used Holts Gems for an emerald ring, emerald pendants and emerald and diamond earrings - plus refurbishment of a sapphire and diamond ring
The craftsmanship has been excellent in all cases and the team listen and are attentive to our needs and wishes.
I highly commend Holts and in particular Alicja for her professionalism and design

We had a fantastic experience with Holts Gems
We had a fantastic experience with Holts Gems Jewellers while choosing our engagement ring. Caitlin was incredibly helpful and patient throughout the whole process, taking the time to show us plenty of options until we found the perfect ring. The service felt very bespoke and personal, and nothing was ever rushed.
Caitlin also made the delivery process smooth and stress-free, keeping us well informed and making sure everything was ready when promised. We really appreciated the care and attention to detail.
Would highly recommend Holts Gems to anyone looking for an engagement ring and a truly personal service.

Exceptional custom engagement ring and service
I had an engagement ring custom made by Holt Gems in Hatton Garden and couldn’t be happier with the experience.
From the very first consultation, what really stood out was how attentive Alicja was. I’d met with a few other jewellers beforehand, but the level of care and attention here was completely different. She genuinely took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, which made the decision easy.
She listened carefully to the design I had in mind and also offered thoughtful suggestions that enhanced certain elements without ever pushing in a different direction. The whole process felt collaborative and very personal.
The finished ring is exceptional, the design and craftsmanship are outstanding. My now fiancée absolutely loves it. She couldn’t believe how beautiful it is and is so happy with it.
I couldn’t recommend Alicja at Holt Gems highly enough. If you’re looking for a custom engagement ring in Hatton Garden and want someone who truly listens and delivers something special, this is the place to go.

I was looking for a birth month pendant for my mother’s birthday, and Holts created a beautiful bespoke piece within just a week. I’m absolutely delighted with the result. The team at Holts was warm, welcoming, and gave me excellent advice to help me make the right choice. I would definitely recommend them!

Great buying experience!
Caitlin was incredible in helping us find the perfect ring. Before our appointment, she curated a selection of stunning diamonds for us to view. I’ve realised that seeing the stones in person is essential, as the quality and sparkle matter immensely, even with lab-grown diamonds.
We also explored their unique colored diamonds and previewed different wedding band pairings, which was a great touch. Caitlin was never pushy; instead, she asked thoughtful questions about my partner's style and gave honest, clear advice on what works best. As a person who was buying without my Fiancee it was really helpful!

Catilin was incredibly helpful and patient despite my indecisiveness. We went several times to try various mounts and gems and she really helped us find the right one. We're now waiting on the final ring with the gem set for which I'm really excited!

Fantastic and knowledgeable independent jewellers
My partner and I stumbled across Holts Gems whilst engagement ring shopping in Hatton Garden, and we're very glad we did as we ended up purchasing our engagement ring with them.
Unlike many other places in Hatton Garden it is very clear that Holts is a truly independent operation, with staff that are highly knowledgeable and interested and provide fantastic and genuine customer service.
I would recommend them very highly!

A perfect anniversary gift…
I went to Holts for an anniversary gift on a very tight schedule, and the team was fantastic. Caitlin, in particular, was brilliant—she helped me design the perfect pair of earrings and ensured they were made on time. Alicja and the rest of the staff were also incredibly helpful throughout. A smooth, professional experience with a personal touch. I couldn't be happier with the result.

Holts Gems and Alicja were such a pleasure to work with. I brought them my family heirloom emerald ring to remodel into a necklace. The team treated the project with the creative care, individuality and passion that comes through true professionalism. Now I have both a beautiful piece of jewellery, and a memory, to treasure and pass on. Would not hesitate to recommend.
