Chris & Nicky
I would highly recommend Christopher to anyone who is looking to buy jewellery. I got engaged this year and on the recommendation of a friend gave Christopher a call. He did not disappoint! Initially I was able to discuss ring options with him and he established a budget that he never tried to push. He produced a lovely personalised book for me to give to my partner when I proposed which explained all his services and how he would work with her to design her dream engagement ring. Along with the book was a ring to propose with. We then met in his beautiful workshop and my fiancé went through numerous design ideas with Christopher. He did not rush her and gave lots of advice on different styles. In the end she chose something that neither of us every would have thought she would have done. A replica of this was then sent through the post to double check before the real ring was made. The end result was fantastic and she is now a very happy fiancé (despite being engaged to me!) We will definitely be returning to buy our wedding bands from Christopher.

Hi Christopher, I have been meaning to contact you for such a long time, as I wanted to take the opportunity to send you my sincere thanks for the wonderful work you did re-modelling my wedding and engagement rings, and creating the additional eternity ring that all sit perfectly together. They look beautiful and I’m feel proud to wear them. Also, the most important improvement for me is how comfortable they feel and how well they all sit together, as if they were always meant to be, which is essential with jewellery that you wear every day. I can now comfortably wear them on their own or together depending on the occasion. Thank you, this has made a huge difference to me and apologies for the delay in sending this message! Believe it or not it was four years since we came to see you with our new baby daughter asleep with us, and now she is starting school this year. It has been a busy time! Best wishes to you and all the family, Liz & Adam

I met Chris years ago where I worked. Then a friend showed her ring to friends on Facebook that Chris had made. I knew straight away that Chris was the one that could help me. My mother had died and I inherited a few pieces of jewellery. So I contacted Chris and he went to work. He redesigned my grandmother and mothers ring, as the clasps were broken and the shank was weak. My ring is beautiful and when I look at it I can see my mum and my nanny. Its wonderful. Chris cleaned and repaired my other pieces. I can now wear them with pride as they are gleaming and to me they look like they are new. A wonderful person with a wonderful eye for beauty in jewellery

I wanted a substantial ring robust enough for everyday wear and after much consideration decided on a yellow sapphire. Chris sourced several lovely gems for me to look at and with his expert guidance I chose the one I wanted as the central stone for my ring. We discussed the type of setting that would display the stone best and based on my requirements for lots of sparkle Chris designed a stunning ring for me. This is the third piece of jewellery I have commissioned from Chris and each one of them is absolutely superb. Thank you.

Hi Chris, Thank you so much again it is beautiful. The experience I had picking the setting and diamonds was very enjoyable. Sara loves it as well Brenda
Zak
I'd just like to thank you for your service, its been brilliant from start to finish and the ring is perfect.
Jo
Excellent service! I wanted the stone from My engagement set into a new more robust ring. Christopher was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, making exactly what I wanted. My new ring is lovely quality and i couldn’t be happier with the service I received. I’ll be back for more jewellery!

I wanted a specific design for a ring and after searching everywhere I knew I would have to have it made and I am no artist. After considerable research I found Chris. After one meeting it was instantly obvious why he has a peerless professional reputation. He took my half formed ideas and at once began to turn them into exactly what I had hoped for. Over much back and forth (no detail was too small to discuss) he turned my ideas into the stunning engagement ring which my Wife now wears. His service was so exceptional I really had no choice but to engage his services to make our Wedding rings. Again he took my vague ideas and turned them into two stunning rings, exactly what I was after. Chris is a consummate professional who gives an exceptional service. If you want the perfect ring, Chris is the only person to choose.
Rachel & Chris
We contacted Chris to commission an emerald ring for our Silver Wedding. We knew very little about emeralds before we embarked on this process, just that we wanted a beautiful green stone. Chris was fastidious in his search for the right quality gemstone, explaining that many coloured gemstones vary hugely in quality and colour. He seemed to sense just what was right for us and once the correct emerald was sourced, then the magic really began to happen! He really is an expert in his field and is superb at guiding your choice without making you feel pushed in one particular direction or another. Chris made the whole design process as special as the end result - just what we wanted for such a special anniversary. The ring itself is absolutely stunning and, to be honest, more than matched our expectations. We can't recommend Chris highly enough!

From the moment you enter his studio, Christopher puts you completely at ease and his focus is totally on you, the customer. His patience and attention to detail, coupled with sound advice on the right design to suit you, ensures you will get the perfect ring. Incorporating stones from three of my own rings he produced two unique and beautiful designs for me. So pleased!
Pete & Sara
Just wanted to drop you an email and say thank you so much for meeting us both on Saturday. I know you didn't have to take the time out as it wasn't about buying another bit of jewellery, but just talking the ring one you made for Sara. Sara absolutely loved meeting you and chatting about the process and the stones...and so did I again! I'd happily recommend your services to anyone I know looking for engagement rings/any jewellery as it has been a fantastic experience learning everything and designing together. Makes the ring that much more special to me and certainly to Sara due to the effort that was involved. Although we won't be needing them for a while as we're not planning on getting married until Summer 2016 I will certainly be in touch for the wedding bands when the time comes. Once again THANK YOU very much for all you have done for us.

"My husband wanted to offer me an engagement ring and I wanted an original design based on an antique design. We were recommended Chris for his exceptional workmanship and flexibility for custom jewellery; it proved to be an excellent decision. The whole design and manufacturing process was very professional and thorough with a lot of communication involved via phone and emails as I live abroad. Last but not least, the result went beyond our expectations and I just love my ring! I have been asked many times where I found such an unclassical and original jewellery. Thank you Chris"
Laura & Daniel
The idea of having an engagement ring designed from scratch could be perceived as daunting. We couldn’t have been more wrong! From seeing our intial discussions and ideas come to life via wax moulds to the final unveiling of the ring was a truly exciting and unforgettable experience. This process allowed us to have full creative input and confidence in the design and final look. Chris was patient and helpful at all times and we couldn’t be more pleased with the final product. It exceeded all our expectations! We will treasure it forever. Very best wishes, Laura & Daniel’.

I wanted to have a more modern bracelet to replace some gold items I had sold, and this was my treat to myself to remember various family members who had passed away. Once again, your website was my starting point, and you patiently listened to comments and requests, coming up with an amazing creation. It is far too nice to keep in a box and only wear on special occasions. I will wear it very often, because it is so comfortable and stylish. It was a good idea for me to see you for precise measurements, and you really understood how a bracelet should lie. The design is original, right down to the integral link "fastener" which is so different from any others I have seen. It blends into the design, and is so easy to fasten by myself. It goes without saying that I will recommend you to all my family and friends. A huge thank you.

"I commissioned a bespoke engagement ring from Chris closely based on one of his collection designs that had caught my eye. It was fascinating to be involved in the process of design and to learn about the details of how it was made, assisted at all stages with the use of technology from microscopes to CAD and wax prototypes, which really brought the ideas to life. I'm exhilarated with the final result, a brilliant piece of jewellery that was just as I had hoped it would turn out. I couldn't be better armed when the time comes shortly to ask the big question!"
Alison & Norman
My husband wanted to give me a diamond ring for my big birthday, and having had a quick look at your website, we felt you would be able to design something really special. What we hadn't realised was just how pleasant the whole experience would be - from your patient approach to your thoughtful extra touches, you were keen to please. I showed you a ring on your website as a starting point, and when you emailed some designs, you added an alternative platinum setting which made the diamonds sparkle even more. When I flicked from one design to the platinum set design, it was like flicking through one of those picture books which tell a live story! Fabulous! The finished article was heavenly.
Andrew & Christine
Just wanted to say a massive thank you for your expertise, skill and judgement in helping us create the perfect engagement ring. It really does have the ‘wow’ factor as you promised, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you. Lots of people have been asking who made the ring as it is so different to the traditional engagement rings available and we have been all too happy to pass on your details. It is also a nice touch to know that the design is named after Christine and that other people may well share the experience of having such a fantastic piece of jewellery made by you.

What can I say..... love it! Thanks

Dear Christopher Just a note to say a big "thank you" for all the effort you put into producing the ring and earrings for me. I am delighted with the results and my husband - and all the family - think the ring is beautiful. The earrings have made a special birthday present for my daughter-in-law. I hope I'll have the opportunity to visit you again and will certainly recommend you to my friends. Very best wishes Sheila
Gaye
