Bespoke engagement rings & jewellery
Made one at a time at our workshop in Hatton Garden.
5/5 based on 100+ reviews
Hello, we're Victor and Ines.
We're a husband and wife, and we've been making engagement rings, wedding bands and bespoke pieces from our workshop in Hatton Garden for over a decade. Between us we have more than fifty years at the bench. Nothing here is mass-produced, and the two of us are across every piece from the first conversation to the day you collect it.
That's less common than it sounds. Most engagement rings sold in London are sold by people who don't make them and made by people who never meet you. We mention it because it changes the conversation, not because everyone should work this way.

How it works
Tell us what you have in mind
Bring whatever you have. A screenshot, or a ring that belonged to someone. We'll talk about who it's for and what they'd never wear.
If you'd rather start by email or phone that's fine. It's how most people outside London begin.
We design it together
We'll source stones for you to see in person and hold. We buy direct from suppliers we've worked with for years.
We sketch and redraw until you're sure.
We make it, by hand
Everything is made at our bench here. Most pieces take around 8 to 12 weeks from an agreed design.
You're welcome to come and see it part-made.
Some of what we've made
Every piece here belongs to someone else already. Show us one you like and we'll start from there.
What people say
Common questions
Can we try rings on?
Yes. We're a workshop rather than a shop, so there's no display room and nothing sitting in a case with a price on it. But we do have rings here you can try, so you can see how a solitaire sits next to a trilogy, or what three quarters of a carat actually looks like on your hand, before we design anything.
How long does it take?
Around 8 to 12 weeks from an agreed design for most pieces. We'll give you a real estimate at the first meeting once we know what we're sourcing. Resizing and most repairs are much quicker.
What will it cost?
We can't put a number on this page honestly, because a ring is mostly the stone and stones vary enormously. There's no shop and no sales team in our prices, so your budget goes further than it would on a high street. Tell us what you'd like to spend at the first meeting and we'll say straight away whether it's realistic. Nobody is going to push you.
Can you use a stone or a ring I already have?
Yes, and we do it a lot. Inherited stones especially. Bring it in and we'll tell you honestly what's possible and what isn't.
Where do your stones come from?
Direct from suppliers we've worked with for years, hand-picked for the design rather than chosen off a list. If you want a particular cut or a coloured stone we'll go and find it.
Can you work with us if we're not in London?
Yes. The first conversation can be a phone or video call, and we've made pieces for people across the UK and abroad. You'd normally come in once to see stones.
Do you do wedding bands and other pieces, or only engagement rings?
All of it. Bands, earrings, necklaces, remodelling and repairs. Engagement rings are simply the biggest share of what we're asked for.
Do we need an appointment?
Yes, please. We're at the bench most of the day, so we'd rather give you proper time than five minutes between other things.
Come and see us
We're by appointment only. Tell us roughly when suits and we'll find a time.
