However, reading back through the numbers, the £1m that HSBC has held of Wrapit’s funds is only a fraction of the money apparently owed to wrapit’s creditors and customers.

News reports are detailing that Wrapit owes suppliers hundreds of thousands, HSBC £3.5m and taking into consideration that the average gift list is about £2,500 - with 3000 couples p/a that’s another £7,500,000 it might potentially owe to couples.

Calling for HSBC to release a meagre £1m when there might be upwards of £11m owing isn’t the issue. Wrapit, plain and simple has mis-managed the money intended for newly wed’s gifts. Given that they (allegedly) mark up gift items up to 100%, I believe that blame can’t be put on HSBC and a credit crunch. Someone there needs to take responsibility (hint hint - Peter Geraldi!!!) for what they’ve managed to do to us, our friends and our families.

The main factor was the conflict-free diamonds at the time as well as a good price.

Since then we’ve experienced excellent customer service, ad now have a pair of the most beautiful custom designed wedding rings, thanks to their own workshop.

If the name makes you think twice, then good, it’s a big investment, but let me reassure you, it’s not a decision you’ll regret. I’d recommend them to anyone.
