Diamond Geezers and Gold Dealers. An inside look at London's Jewelry business
- 8 years ago
Hatton Garden has been London’s jewellery quarter for over 200 years. Located north west of the City, it is a half-mile stretch where millions of pounds of gold, silver and precious stones are bought and sold every day.
In Diamond Geezers and Gold Dealers, a new ITV documentary, cameras have been given exclusive, behind the scenes access to some of the distinctive characters who inhabit Hatton Garden; the wheelers and dealers and talented jewellery makers who make their living from this multi-million pound industry.
The area attracts everyone from millionaire clients who commission exclusive pieces, to those who are just looking for that extra special ring to propose to a loved one.
Among the characters featured in the programme are a gold trader who conducts the sale of a diamond ring in the back of a taxi, a bespoke jewellery maker who is seen working on an intricate diamond-studded bird, and a precious metal reclamation expert who gives a vivid insight into her often mucky job.
