My wife and I collected our rings today from the Jewellery Design Studio and we could not be happier with them. The quality of the workmanship is second to none. From the outset we found Sally and Alex to be so patient during the ring design process, offering expert and pragmatic advice. Both rings exceeded our expectations. We would thoroughly recommend the Jewellery Design Studio and we will definitely be going back!!

Cannot recommend Sally and Alex at JDS enough!
Sally was so patient and helpful during the design process of an original engagement ring for my partner.
Sally took everything I wanted or considered on board and did everything in her power to make it happen. I was given so many options, talked through the whole process without any feeling of pressure or rush. The end result is better than I imagined. They even express posted the finished product to the proposal destination to meet my deadline, free of charge. Absolute legends! Thanks again guys!

I went to JD studio to have my mothers engagement ring taken apart redesigned and created into an engagement ring for myself. The design consult with Sally was great, she really took her time to understand what I wanted. I was after a particularly unique ring and was very specific about details I wanted from the ring. Well... I can say that I was so so happy with the end result. The ring was exactly what I had imagined, it turned out perfect so sparkly and beautiful. Thank you so much to Alex and Sally for creating such a stunning ring, I will definitely be coming back here for all my future jewellery

What an amazing experience dealing with Sally and Alex at JD Studio - they are such friendly and helpful individuals. Our first experience with JDS was when my partner had a custom pendant made for my birthday. Alex gave great advice to make sure the pendant was durable for everyday wear and almost 18months on after 24/7 wear its perfect. Our most recent interactions with Alex and Sally were to have my custom engagement ring remade (due to the original designer not making a wearable product - the diamond came loose multiple times after almost no wear. It literally lived in the box). Well, not

After walking in the door of Jewellery Design Studio, I was warmly greeted and helped through the daunting task of designing an engagement ring. Every part of the process was thoroughly explained, and throughout to help me and make me feel at ease.
Alex was great at making me feel valued and listened to what I was looking for and what pieces could help me with my design. The result was well crafted and beautiful. Thank you so much. After my first experience buying jewellery here, I wouldn't hesitate to return for further pieces.
