Susan Begg "So pleased with my recycled diamond pendant. Beth redesigned it, adding additional diamonds. The whole process expertly expedited in one telephone call and a few emails. Thank you ! 😀"
Lizi Tamar Filomeno Hobson "we had the best time designing my engagement ring!!! such a lovely, romantic experience.. then to finally be proposed to and get to see the gorgeous ring we made together.. nothing could be sweeter. we love it & we thank you for your efforts. stunning gold, diamond and olive green sapphire ring. thanks so much x"
Nicole Miller "Thank you Laurie McGrath and the Harriet Kelsall team for helping my fiancé design a bespoke green amber engagement ring for me! He surprised me on December 21, 2019 in front of my favorite art museum. It is so unique and absolutely perfect!"
Sarah Ni Flaithbertaigh "Wow! What a truly special place to have our engagement ring designed. Thank you so very much to Gurveen and the goldsmiths at Harriet Kelsall for designing and creating the most beautiful opal and diamond engagement ring. Although the ring was a surprise for me, Gurveen worked so closely with Barry to design a ring that I am beyond in love with. She spent so much time with him, discussing style and metal options as well as picking out the stones for the ring. Meeting Gurveen at the Cambridge studio was such a wonderful experience - I do not think we could have found a more amazing person or jeweller to design our ring. We can’t wait to return to have our wedding rings designed by Gurveen! Thank you, thank you! We are very lucky! Sarah + Barry x"
Adrienne Peart "Thank you so much Francesca and the team behind the scenes at HK. Service has been exceptional. Using three generations of wedding rings to create a very special, bespoke piece inspired by my love of open water swimming and a replacement for my damaged wedding ring. Thank you for being so caring an patient. I absolutely love it. Merry Christmas to you all x"
Denise Aspinall "Just collected my remade diamond and sapphire ring. Absolutely delighted with it. Thank you Bethanie for all your help"
Samantha Hamill "I have just received my beautiful eternity ring which was created by Hannah Newell. Our consultation was done via email, yet Hannah still managed to capture exactly what I wanted. Hannah was extremely patient and helpful. Excellent design, customer service and of course quality. I will certainly be coming back to Harriet Kelsall for my next bespoke creation. I’m totally in love with my new ring and can’t thank Hannah enough. Much appreciated, thank you so very much."
Amanda Duffin "Gurveen Singh helped us create the perfect ring. Amazing experience being able to have something so personal created by such a talented designer, thank you so much Gurveen"
ChristR39 "I had a bespoke engagement ring made for my partner by designer Christiana. She took all the time (i required) to go through all options and different types of stones, metals, what goes well/doesn’t go well together. The experience was overall really good, and i appreciated that at no point was anything rushed and i felt very comfortable with my thousands of questions being given all the attention i required. I would give Christiana and the team my best recommendation, the ring itself was beautiful and all i (and more important) and my partner could have hoped for."
Rominta Knowles "Gurveen Singh has realised 2 rings which I had dreamed of. She was extremely patient throughout the process to understand what I was looking for and patient with my addiction to sparkle! H K Bespoke were very good at keeping me informed and updated throughout the process and I never felt rushed. Thank you so much for creating some stunning jewellery which is unique to me!"
Kate H "We had the most beautiful bespoke engagement ring and wedding rings designed by the fantastic Christiana. We not only love the rings but also really enjoyed the process of meeting with you and the team. You are very professional in every way, highly creative, with a great eye, an excellent listener and with a sense of humour. We would highly recommend you to all our friends and family. Thank you so much. It was wonderful meeting you and thank you to all the team. Kate and Andy xxx"
Dawid Crook "How do you design a simple but beautiful eternity ring that is unique to the recipient and reflects 30 years of commitment. Well, you call Harriet Kelsall. From the outset, the care and attention is apparent, the skill and artistry shaped into ‘that’ ring. Thank you Harriet and especially Francesca who took my dreams and did more. My wife still stares at it and sheds a tear or seven with friends."
JFS2011 "All aspects of the service at HK jewellery is superb. Designer Chloe did an excellent job of designing a ring for our 40th wedding anniversary and the goldsmiths did a wonderful job creating it. The ring is everything I wished for and more. Kirsty and Chloe kept me updated every step of the way. The showroom is worth a visit even if you haven't got a special occasion coming up - exquisite jewellery on display. Highly recommended"
Justin Hackett "Francesca was extremely helpful and patient as we went through a plethora of designs. She was able to conceptualize my fiancé Ines lifestyle, hobbies, and interests into stunning designs. She was able to help me narrow down to three designs and then eventually we settled on one. She proceeded to design one of the most stunning rings Ive ever seen. Additionally, throughout the process she was constantly in touch with and was able to meet a very tight deadline of about 20 days to have it all ready. Upon pick up of the ring in person, I was equally impressed with the hospitality of the London studio and for me it shows this company cares about its customers. I will certainly be a returning customer!"
Natalie Robinson "From start to finish Laurie was fantastic. Always keeping me updated, responding to my many emails, very polite, friendly and professional in all forms of contact. They created a beautiful design of a ring into a pendant all in time for my wedding as well! I'm so pleased I used HK and I've already got more ideas that I'll be back to them with!! Thank you to everyone involved, you've made me the most perfect piece of jewellery."
pgfletcher "After finding HK Jewellery online, I booked a consultation with one of their designers (Chloe) to try and turn an assortment of ideas into a special engagement ring. Chloe did a great job interpreting my ideas and guiding me through the process - it was a really enjoyable experience and I could not be more pleased with the quality of the ultimate product."
Lyndon Bishop "Fantastic people to deal with. We had Alice design our engagement ring and it was just perfect. The quality of the finish and workmanship is just something you don’t get these days from high street equivalents and i glad we commissioned HK for the piece. My partner said “Yes” and was so taken by the beauty of her ring, I’ve been entrusted o do the same with thee marriage bands and Alice and her team will be commissioned again to complete it Thank you HK"
Kirsty Bush Was Hennessey "Our son wanted a pendant for his 18th and so we started to scout high and low for Jewellers that would be able to provide us with a Boxing Glove. We came to a brick wall every time until a friend recommended HK Jewellery. Both my son and I went along and met with Alice one of the designers. Wow! We couldn't have felt more welcome or at ease with the professionalism we received. That personal touch to something that will forever be handed down generation to generation within our family cannot be expressed on how much this means to us. They used a piece of my Jewellery and carved into an amazing boxing glove. Have recommended you to friends and family - Thank you, thank you, thank you xx PS sorry about the sobbing when I picked it up, I was so happy"
Laura Ripper "I was looking for an engagement ring and wedding ring that weren't just lovely to look at but said something about our love of nature and reminded us of the time and place we got engaged. I had a telephone consultation with Laurie, and we looked at some designs together. She took the time to find out what appealed to me and made gentle suggestions about other choices, such as the type of metal and the setting. I was looking for a tourmaline that was a really specific shade of green, and Laurie managed to find it, sending me videos so I could see how the colour changed in the light. I was a little worried about ordering something I hope to wear for the rest of my life without seeing it first, but I'm so happy with the finished rings, and with the service provided throughout. Thank you for creating something I'll always love wearing!"
BronCowen "My teenage daughter and I inherited engagement rings that were just not our style and we would never wear. HK designer, Christiana, took the stones from the rings and incorporated them into two new stunning pieces that exactly suit our individual tastes, giving new life to jewellery that would otherwise have just sat in a drawer. Christiana took time to really work through with us what we wanted and we are both delighted with outcome."
Steven Jackson "Chloe Drake created a unique and beautiful engagement ring. She also created a stunning wedding ring that complemented and fit perfectly to the engagement ring. HK Jewellery were fantastic with their communication during the design and making process. We highly recommend them for creating stunning jewellery."
jack-alc-ta " jack-alc-ta 22 Reviewed 13 November 2018 No ask too big, no detail too small. I went to Harriet Kelsall for a bespoke engagement ring as part of a surprise proposal earlier this year and I can't speak highly enough about the quality and service I received. Working with Chloe, we achieved a unique and personal design that was then crafted perfectly into a ring which my fiancée adores. Right from the outset, the attention and advice offered by Chloe (and later, Laura, too) was both helpful and thorough. Most communication was done by email and after I'd scrutinised practically every element of the design and composition I was convinced I must've been a bit of a nuisance customer at times - but I was never once made to feel that way, with every email replied to in detail and advice offered on so much more than just the design. Once everything had been decided and produced, the ring arrived beautifully presented and the wooden cylinder ring box really helped keep the proposal a surprise right up until it was opened. The experience was second to none and I can't wait to go back with my fiancée to design our wedding rings."
Maad Sheikh "Excellent advice and very professional throughout. Tom gave me piece of mind whilst going through different ideas for our bespoke engagement ring which turned out beautifully. He also worked well within my budget and it ended up costing less than expected! Thanks Tom and all at Harriet Kelsall in Primrose Hill "
874DavidP874 "I had an idea for an engagement ring but needed to see it brought to life. Working with Christiana at Harriet Kelsall was the right choice. She took my initial ideas, worked with them, discussed them with me (in person and remotely - I am in Newcastle; she was in London) and ultimately designed and made a ring within budget that my partner loves. Christiana was incredibly easy to work with and is talented too. Moe than delighted with the result, as is my partner Jane."
Samantha Rawlinson "We stumbled across Harriet Kelsall in Cambridge and liked the idea of designing a new engagement ring when my original one lost its diamond. Francesca at the Hitchin branch, is knowledgeable and talented and made the whole design experience simple and enjoyable. We are grateful for her assistance and are thrilled with my beautiful ring. Thank you 😊"
Ben Flather "I had a telephone consultation with the amazing Alice, she was amazing! She sketched the most perfect ring and then the gold smiths turned it into reality! Nothing was to much, super friendly, super kind and the best service! I even got a booked made of the process and added pictures of the proposal, an amazing keep safe of memory’s! We then went for a visit after the proposal and the Hertfordshire workshop is amazing worth a visit! I know we will be back for the wedding rings! Again thank you all for all your professional curtesy and personal help!"
firefistdjack "One day I decided to melt my old gold into a bespoke unique design, after few days of surfing the internet I bumped into a very thorough article written by Laurie McGrath on melting gold and all the matters related to it. Soon after that I checked Laurie portfolio of all the jewellery she shaped into life. I must say I'm an artist myself and very fussy about details,so it's not easy for me to find something I like, but when I saw the harmony, the details and the colours of her arts I realised that I had finally found the designer who could have materialised my vision into the shape of gold.In less than a week I was able to have an appointment in Halls Green, Hertfordshire where Laurie create dreams. The shop/lab is amazing, built in a very characteristic farm, with a touch of modern, all in a perfect blend that compliment the architecture of it. Laurie has that gentle nature about her that makes u so relaxed and welcomed, literally you feel as if you are in a Spa where all you have to do is express your wish and close your eyes. Her expertise are second to none, I have had made a pendant and an earring, the shape and the size came out exactly as it was drawn, very impressed by the accuracy in the details and the invisible soldering almost as the designs were made of one single piece of gold. The patience and the courtesy she has had in answering my several phone calls and emails is impressive, a very unique lady. A massive Thanks goes to the Goldsmiths and to Laura the sweet assistance who helped me in few choices and a Super massive Thanks goes to you Laurie McGrath, the angel designer of Halls Green, it was a pleasure to have met you, surely I will get in touch for another dream coming true project.."
MccKate_89 "We first visited the HKJ studio in Cambridge after deciding that we would like to design our own engagement ring. Throughout, our experience working with Victoria has been amazing. The attention to detail was absolute, no request was too small and no question was too silly. Plus the continuous supply of tea during our consultations was a bonus! We absolutely love the finished product and we couldn’t have pulled these ideas together as well as we did without the design expertise from Victoria and her colleagues, both in Cambridge and Primrose Hill. We are aware that our design was quite complex, with very particular details but the Goldsmiths showed a huge amount of skill to create something that was everything and more than we could have imagined. We love being able to tell friends and family the story behind designing the ring, and have recommended HK to many."
X8100ULadamb "Wonderful collection of bespoke jewellery I visited their Green Street CAMBRIDGE shop in search of a special 25th wedding anniversary present for my wife With my daughter as advisor we were given a wonderful service and were able to find a perfect gift The gift was beautifully wrapped and presented Plenty of ideas and styles on offer So much better than the other local jeweller who was rude and off hand Definitely visit this place for a special gift"
Gareth W "I approached HK jewellery about a custom engagement ring, they were super friendly, really helpful and designed a wonderful piece of jewellery. Francesca and the team are well worth the visit."
Charlotte Williams "I had always hankered after an emerald but was very particular about the colour I was looking for. After a discussion it was decided a chrome tourmaline would more likely give the specific green I was after. So the hunt was on for a show stopping stone with just the right green colour! From start to finish the process was great, the excitement of going to view stones, to finally finding that perfect one. Sitting with Chloe to discuss metals, setting, and then sketching the design. It looked amazing on paper and six weeks later it looked even more fabulous as a finished ring. 100% what I was after and couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. Thanks!"
Nelly Gibson-Cox "Bethanie Green and Laurie Mcgrath did an absolutely amazing job of designing my wedding ring, taking the time to understand exactly what I was after. After many different changes and alterations over about a year they have produced a work of art that is more beautiful than I expected. The medieval script, logos, weight, engraving inside, colour, size and finish is absolutely perfect. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you so so much!!"
Lindsay P "Beautifully designed and crafted jewellery by Christiana - transforming some older stones into contemporary gems... super personalised service. Highly recommend. 4 pieces created, one pic below."
Jacqui Mebourne "We are absolutely delighted with my wedding ring which was designed by Francesca Glos. During the initial consultation I explained to Francesca what I had in mind, my engagement ring was designed by Chloe of HK Bespoke Jewellery and was inspired by coral so the band is far from standard and the flow of the ring meant that the wedding band had to be bespoke in order to achieve the perfect fit. What I now have is an engagement ring and wedding band that compliment and fit each other so well that when worn together they merge together to form one magical ring. Thank you to the designers, craftsmen and all the staff who together have made this such a wonderful experience and have created the perfect ring that I will treasure for the rest of my life."
ChrisH10886 "I contacted Harriet Kelsall to look into whether it would be possible to get a bespoke engagement ring made. After a few discussions I was appointed Laurie McGrath as my designer. She was very helpful, knowledgeable and provided me with some great options. She kept me up to date with the ring design and manufacturing time lines. Mine was on a strict deadline and they managed to get it to me in time which I am grateful for. The overall team was very responsive to my calls and emails. The price was comparable with off the shelf jewellery and the designs that were produced following a consultation were excellent and a very hard choice in the end! I would highly recommend HK Jewellery, my fiancee thought the ring was stunning I couldn't have done without the HK team."
Gillian Charlesworth "Excellent customer service and great quality jewellery. Most of my precious rings, earrings etc come from Harriet Kelsall and have been thrilled every time with the bespoke service. Chloe Drake is fantastic."
Meander726059 "I was recommended Harriet Kelsall by a friend and called them as I wanted something locally made and ethical. I was looked after from start to finish, the design was elegant and they worked with me to create something that was meaningful for my now fiancé. We will definitely be getting in touch with them again for our wedding bands and recommending them to others."
