What Our Clients Say

Hear from our satisfied customers about their repair experiences

I had a much-loved but ill-fitting Cartier Trinity wedding ring. The complexity and cost of the work to repair and resize it had always put me off, but David brought it back to life – my ring has been returned to me as new. He is a brilliant craftsman who loves his work and delivers exceptional value. I would wholeheartedly recommend him for repairs and renovations on your most precious items, or simply to browse his own fabulous designs and beautifully curated range of jewellery, both vintage and new.

I needed to have my engagement ring resized before my wedding day. David was recommended to me by a family member, and he didn’t disappoint. He was so lovely and knowledgeable, providing a super quick and professional service. My ring now fits perfectly! Thank you, David, for your advice on the fitting.
— Emma
David has done a beautiful job repairing my wedding band. It had split and become misshapen, no longer fitting snugly with my engagement ring, and some of the small diamonds were beginning to loosen. Despite being very busy – and the job being more complex than first expected – David completed the repair within the original timeframe. My rings are now reunited on my finger and look as good as new!
— Naomi
David has recently completed a considerable amount of work for me, including ring repairs, enlargements, and stone replacements. He was also commissioned to make a signet ring set with an engraved bloodstone. Every piece was finished to the highest standard, and I have no hesitation in recommending him wholeheartedly for any jewellery redesign, repair, or creation from scratch. He is approachable, helpful, and informative, taking enormous pride in his work and proving totally reliable. I thoroughly enjoyed our collaboration and will be using him again in the future.
— Nick
Had the pleasure of meeting David today to discuss adjusting the size and shape of my 14ct gold ring that I’ve worn for over 10 years. I’d been quoted at least a 10-day turnaround elsewhere, but David reshaped, downsized, cleaned, and polished my ring in just a few hours – all in house! I’m very happy with the service and results and would highly recommend him. I’m quite particular, especially with such a sentimental piece, but I felt completely comfortable leaving it in David’s hands. I’ll definitely be returning in the near future – thanks again!
