It's easy to lose sight of what value really means. If your idea of value is like ours and is about getting more and paying less, then you're in the right place.
We care about our pieces, we care about our customers, and we care about doing what we love in the right way. This means that not only are we responsible for making beautiful jewellery, but we also have a responsibility to educate and lead the rest of the industry.
It all starts with us investing time to source our materials in the right way. We never compromise on quality or purity, but we also have a responsibility to never compromise on welfare or ethics either.
The Conflict-Free Approach
Committing to be completely conflict-free in relation to our stones is central to everything we do. By committing to this, we’re not only guaranteeing that we only work with suppliers who adhere to this principle but we’re also promising to immediately sever ties with anyone we work with who contravenes this later on. We feel it’s the least we can do to help ensure we leave the world a better place than we found it in.
Our Standards: Making the World a Better Place
To explain more about how we’re working to leave the world a better place, we want to be explicit about the standards we follow.
Every diamond supplier that we partner with is fully committed to the World Diamond Council System of Warranties and has, at our insistence, provided us with the following assurances:
Every single diamond has been sold in accordance with the Best Practice Principles of the DTC
Not one single diamond or precious stone has been sold in contravention of UN resolutions Nos. 1173, 1176 and 1306
No stones are ever taken from rebel- controlled regions, or regions where their sale could be used to fund military activity or terrorism

It's easy to lose sight of what value really means. If your opinion of value is like ours and is about getting more and paying less, then you're in the right place. By buying directly from manufacturers online, it can save half of high street jewellers. We don't do endless promotions and high- low pricing; we offer our lowest price permanently.
A Unique Approach
We pride ourselves on offering enduring quality at fair prices; shopping is just better that way, isn’t it?
After we piece together all these steps, you’re left with our unique approach to luxury jewellery: enduring quality at fair everyday prices that are up to 70% less than on the High St.
You’ll notice that we buy directly from the manufacturer, and that is really the key to our unique combination of fair prices and exemplary quality. Here are just a few of the reasons why the Abelini approach is transforming the industry:
We can handpick all of our diamonds ourselves through our local buying offices. This not only removes the cost of the middlemen, it also allows us to stick to our exacting quality standards.
We have the experience and knowledge to buy in bulk in a strategic manner. This means that when we discover something worthy of our standards, we buy it in bulk and leverage our buying power to negotiate a substantial discount.
We develop personal relationships with all of our suppliers, just like we do with our customers. This allows us to get first refusal on new shipments and negotiate prices that are fair on our customers.
We know the importance of lean operating costs. There is no unnecessary purchase and outlays: exactly what we need to create beautiful pieces at a fair price, pieces you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
At Abelini, we believe that when it comes to luxury, you should have it all your own way. Thats why we are committed to making the trying-on process even easier than ever before, by bringing the sizes of the comfort of your own home at the click of a button, its so simple that we can tell you all about it in just 3 steps...
01
Choose Your Designs
You can choose up to 3 designs at any one time and we'll ship them to your doorstep within 2-3 days only. Once they arrive you'll be greeted by a trio of product samples that are ready and waiting to be tried on. Each manufactured from high quality silver and topped off with an artificial diamond to give you the complete ‘try before you buy’ experience you have been looking for.
(Please note: We add a £50 reserve for each sample ring and in cases where a model has to be made from scratch, the final delivery may take up to 10 working days)
02
Choose Your Favourite
Take up to 5 days to try your sample rings and show them off to friends and family so the people you are closest to can tell you what they think. There's absolutely no obligation to buy, but if you find that it is the ring you have been searching for, just let us know and we'll begin your very own customised one. Have a question regarding the process? Our jewellery consultants are always ready and willing to help.
03
Return For Free
Once you're finished with your samples, simply attach the prepaid postage label to the original box and send it on its way. When you enter the world of Abelini, luxury has never been so simple.
When it comes to securing your earrings in place there are 3 main options you need to consider: push backs, screw backs, and alpha backs. Let’s take a look at each in turn so that you can decide on your perfect match.
Push Backs
These are the most common type of earring back, and they consist of a flat plate that contains a hole through which a post passes. The back is held in place by a gentle tension that is applied by styled scrolls of metal. The main reasons for their enduring popularity are how easy they are to fit and remove, and the sheer variety of sizes that they come in. They’re the perfect choice for a set of stud earrings, and any type of light earrings and drop styles.
Screw Backs
Screw backs are popular as they’re the most secure earring back available. The threaded post passes through the ear before a small nut is screwed on from the other side. This prevents them from popping off when getting changed; as can happen with push backs. The downside of this approach is that they take a little longer to fit and remove. They will typically be used for high value pieces such as diamond earrings or studs that contain expensive precious stones.
Alpha Backs
The alpha back is the most intricate of the 3 designs. It comprises a spring-loaded mechanism that is activated when you apply pressure to it. Pinching the back in the correct place will cause the locking mechanism to retract so that the post can be removed. They’re designed to provide a comfortable and secure fit that can be quickly and easily adjusted. In this sense they combine the best parts of push backs (easy to use), and screw backs (secure fit) into one all-inclusive design.
