It took me a long time to find the right person to design and create such a personal piece, and I’m so glad I found Sophie. From the very beginning she was incredibly patient, thoughtful, and understanding, taking the time to really listen to what I wanted. She offered options that genuinely reflected the ethos and values I held around the piece, which made the whole process feel meaningful and collaborative. Sophie designed and crafted the most beautiful ring, thoughtfully combining inherited gold with stones she went out of her way to source because she understood how important they were to me. Of all the jewellers and bespoke commission makers I spoke to, she was the only one who truly listened and understood what I wanted. She was endlessly flexible with design changes when I had feedback or asked for changes and was so accommodating when I took an age to make decisions on certain elements. I would absolutely recommend Sophie without hesitation. Collecting my ring just a few days before Christmas was a lovely and unexpected bonus that made the experience even more special 😊
Stunning! Thought I would start with the ring, Sophie created/crafted a diamond ring, with different size/shape stone's. The final result is incredible. The stones themselves are beautiful and the settings are so delicate, the underside of the ring has also been finished with so much care. The service from Sophie was effortless, communication was great and consultation discussion were easy with Sophie taking the time to listen and bring her designs to life through CAD. I will never by from the high street again. Thank you Sophie.
I asked Sophie to remodel an old piece of jewellery into a new ring and I absolutely loved both the experience of doing this, and the end result! The whole process was a real treat, learning about how the ring is made and all the options. She was very responsive and has created something that really feels like me. I've just collected it today and couldn't be happier! Highly recommend!
I found Sophie through an online search and after looking at pictures and reviews decided to ask her to make a copy of my wedding ring in rose gold to match my husbands. The ring is perfect and I am so happy. I thoroughly recommend Sophie.
Sophie designed and made my wedding ring from my Grans wedding ring and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Sophie was great to work with throughout this process, producing a number of PDF designs for me and even taking my very bad drawing and notes and interpreting them to produce the final design. The final product fits beautifully with my engagement ring, is perfect in terms of size and is very comfortable to wear. If I ever want bespoke jewellery again will certainly be contacting Sophie.
