Don't know if you have made your purchase yet but as you live in the North East, have you considered a jewellers here in Sunderland called Wittens?
He has traded in Sunderland for as long as I can remember and whilst not the cheapest, he will give you quality advice and not rip you off.
I bought my nearest and dearest an eternity ring there several years ago. I was going for the biggest trio of diamonds I could afford but he changed my mind and I bought a ring that had 3 identically matched smaller diamonds and it was actually cheaper than the one I was intending to buy.
Worth talking to if your close by.
