We came to Gavin for a bespoke engagement ring and we are so delighted with the result. He took the time to meet with us (one consultation with my fianc, and the second with us both), to really understand our ideas and design preferences, and provided some helpful suggestions. The ring exceeded all our expectations we are so impressed with the level of craftmanship and attention to detail. We would highly recommend Gavin to anyone looking for something meaningful and bespoke.

Gavin and I came up with this beautiful design , using my mother's engagement ring and a lot of my old rings including gem stones that I was not wearing. I wanted to design a ring that I could use all of the stones. I am over the moon with the end result. I would highly recommend Gavin for a custom piece and design.

Such a great experience! We worked with Gavin to create our wedding bands during lockdown. From the initial consultation to the end result, he held our hands through the process and explained everything in detail. I sent in a photo of what I wanted and the result is better than I could have imagined!! He walked us through every step and gave us options to stay within budget. I can not stop looking at the rings, they are perfection! Highly recommend! Will never use a commercial jeweler again.

This is the 3rd piece of jewellery that Ive had made by Gavin and theres a reason for that! Everything that he creates is absolutely beautiful! The most recent piece was an anniversary ring and from the moment we started speaking of design Gavin understood exactly what I was after and he created the perfect ring! Thank you so much! Lisa.
