Feedback

“We just wanted to thank you so much for the huge amount of work which you put in to finish my ruby and diamond eternity ring before Christmas. We are completely blown away by the artistry and craftsmanship and feel it really complements and further enhances the beauty of the ruby ring which you made for me in November. It is so elegant and refined and we love the rich combination of the stones and the rose gold – I can’t stop staring at it. The pressure is really on now for me to keep my hands in a fit state to do justice to these beautiful rings. Which will be no mean feat as up until a year ago I was a life long nail biter but I definitely now have a very strong incentive.

My David Ashton ring makes me happy every time I see it. Luckily for me, I wear it every day. Thank you to you for creating it and to Anita Post for buying it for me 21 years ago. Its effect on me has yet to wear off!

“You made my wedding and engagement rings, then some ear rings to match. 10 years later an eternity ring and most recently and my favourite a beautiful sapphire and diamond ring for my 50th birthday. Every day I look at my rings, your amazing and unique craftsmanship, and every day they bring me so much pleasure. I love the way your designs have evolved yet retained that David Ashton style. After 22 years I still couldn’t recommend you more highly.

“It has been months now since I collected my exquisite platinum and diamond wedding ring, and I can’t tell you how much pleasure I get from it every day. It replaced my original ring, which was stolen in a burglary, and is it wicked to say I much prefer this one?!? This summer I have sat quietly every day with my autistic son, just watching the tiny diamonds sparkling in the sunshine and marvelling at the lifetime of skill and talent that went into making this lovely piece – uniquely for me! I’ve lost four stone since it was ordered, so my fingers are a little slimmer, but thankfully not enough to make it too loose! Otherwise I’d have to fatten up again! I also remember the great kindness and generosity I was shown by the Ashtons during the process of ordering and making the ring, and that also adds to my love of it.

Thank you so much!

Dean and I can’t say thank you enough for my engagement set, the design and quality is exceptional and beautifully created.  I am very proud to be wearing it.
Very best wishes from us both,

“Just collected my beautiful eternity rings. Stunning – David listened to exactly what I wanted and the quality is superb. Long wanted a ring by David Ashton so a bit of a wish fulfilled for me.

– K.Murray

Firstly, WOW!! Both our rings are stunning and have surpassed our expectations.

We honestly can not thank you and David enough! The whole process has been a pleasure and we would highly recommend your service to anyone! 
 We will share pictures with you of the special day and of course us wearing the rings!
With biggest thanks,  Carl and Grace.
