Wedding Rings Without Compromise

Why settle for the same wedding ring as everyone else when yours can be truly unique and meaningful? Work with an expert gemologist, designer, and master craftsman to create a one-of-a-kind wedding ring. Handcrafted in York and built to last a lifetime.

TWO PROBLEMS SOLVED

A wedding ring is one of the most significant pieces of jewellery you'll ever own. But if you've been searching for the perfect one(s), you've likely run into two frustrations…

Generic Designs

Walk into any jewellery shop, and you’ll see the same factory-made rings, generic, mass-produced, and lacking meaning. They’re not special or unique, anyone can have one.

Won’t Sit Right

Most bands aren’t designed to fit seamlessly with many engagement rings, leading to gaps or a mismatched look. A truly special ring should feel like it was made to be worn together from day one.

Let Me Change that

I'm Michael,

I’m a gemologist and designer based in York, crafting wedding rings for those who expect more than off-the-shelf designs and demand perfection. Each ring is meticulously made to fit seamlessly with any engagement ring, no matter the style.

I trained with the GIA and began my career as Head Diamond Buyer and designer for one of the UK’s most prestigious jewellers. I then set up my workshop in York and have created over 1,000 bespoke pieces, including for A-list celebrities. Craftsmanship, precision, and creating future heirlooms are at the heart of everything I do.

(MY THREE STEP PROCESS)

THE Journey to the Perfect Ring

Step 1: Discovery

We start with a relaxed, no-pressure conversation about your story and vision for the perfect ring(s). This is your chance to ask anything, explore ideas, and see if we’re the right fit. No sales pitch. Just expert guidance to help you make the best decision.

Step 2: Design & Selection

Once we’ve defined your vision, I’ll help you select the perfect diamond or gemstone, if needed, and design a one-of-a-kind ring. With precision 3D design, you’ll preview every detail, and I’ll create a to-scale wax model to ensure a perfect fit next to your engagement ring

Step 3: Crafting

Once the design is finalised, your ring is handcrafted in my York workshop using the finest materials. Every detail is meticulously shaped, polished, and perfected. No mass production, no shortcuts. Just precision, care, and true British craftsmanship
