Try Arlington and Co at number 11. Bought my engagement ring there 4years ago and went back for wedding bands 2years ago because they were so lovely. They have agood range and the staff are charming and knowlegable with a real sense of occasion. Atmosphere was so relaxed compared to otger places on thevstreet and they were gracious and charming again through the negotiation process. Although They made a great fuss of all their customers I didn't feel like I was getting the hard sell at all. I was so indecisive I ended up on first name terms with all the staff.
In the end we picked an engagement ring which had been designed in house, met the chap who designed it and sipped a glass of champagne while we made arrangements for payment (though I think they only break out the bubbles at the weekend from what I can tell). It was a lovely experience. I've been back since to have my rings resized and cleaned before the wedding too. All included in the original price.
I'm sure that they are probably not the cheapest on the street but they seemed comparable to me. I cannot recommend them highly enough as you can tell.
