The creator of Reverie Diamond shares this about the history or the company;

The roots of Reverie Diamond begin at the turn of the twentieth century, when my great grandfather travelled through Europe as a fine diamond dealer. While his colleagues were developing what we know today as the eight main single diamond cuts, my great grandfather dreamt of offering beautiful diamond rings that did not carry enormous price tags. From these principles came the vision to create a setting that would enable an elegant array of smaller diamonds to sparkle as one large diamond.

Continuing his legacy and following that same philosophy, I have developed the brand you see today.

Reverie Diamond was born.

These beautiful rings are all from Reverie Diamond. Reverie Diamond is available in 9kt and 18kt gold. Platinum is available on special order.A Reverie Diamond is a perfect purchase if you want a big look solitaire for a fraction of the price of a large diamond.

Buying Diamonds in Northern Ireland

mcc —  May 15, 2015

In Northern Ireland, Diamonds are one of the most precious gifts that can be given. But how can you be sure that the diamond you are buying is the best that you can get for your money. There are lots of different factors which will make your decision.

1/ Budget – Find a jeweller who offers a wide range of diamonds to chose from. Work out how much you can afford and push them to show you the best quality diamond for that price.

2/ Shape – the shape of a diamond is different from the cut. The cut is a technical term which refers to the diamond’s proportions, symmetry and polish. A good jeweller will help you with the cut of your diamond, but you get to pick the shape which you prefer.

This diagram from wikipedia.org shows a collection of shapes which you can pick from.

We love the unusual pear cut.

3/ Purpose. You should consider what how your diamond is going to be worn. We love the unusual pear cut but if this were to be chosen for an engagement ring you may need to consider a specially made wedding band which will complement the awkward shape. Diamond can be set into rings, bracelets, and necklaces.

Bering 10540-409_1

Robert Adair Jewellers are now the sole agents for Bering Watches in Ballymena

When Danish adventurer and businessman Rene Kaerskov jumped out of a helicopter into the ice cold of the Arctic, directly over the North Pole in 2008, he had no idea that he was parachuting into a new era. Because at that moment in time, landing safely at the most northerly point of the globe, his heart was conquered by the cool, simple beauty and infinite white expanse of the eternal ice.

Overwhelmed by these fascinating impressions, he also captivated his business partners back home in Denmark with his descriptions of the exquisite splendour of the Arctic landscape. During passionate discussions, the vision of a new watch brand slowly took shape. A watch brand which would be as pure, clear and breathtakingly beautiful as the Arctic itself.The idea for BERING Watch Design was born.

Bering 11435-751_1Bering 32039-440_1Bering 10629-700_1Clear clean lines and the use of high-tech ceramics are the hallmarks of Bering and with prices starting at under £100 Bering watches have proved to be one of Robert Adair Jewellers best selling products.
