After initially consulting an online jewellers during the first lockdown I realised they didnt provide what i wanted and needed professional help. I found Rubie Rae jewellers on google, checked out their instagram site and read some reviews before sending an enquiry. Robert rang me several times after initially completing a questionnaire to nail the brief. This helped me think about what my future fiance liked and to get the most out of my budget. Robert gave me some great advice to help show off the diamond with the right setting and band which met the brief. Personally, I really struggled to

Fantastic experience from start to finish! Robert guided me through each step of the process ,steering me and presenting options to meet my needs both in terms of the design and budget. Their rush to have the ring ready for Christmas was greatly appreciated! Ideal option for those wanting a bespoke design and require support and flexibility! Could not recommend more!

So many positive reviews that rather than get my wedding band from the jeweller who made my engagement ring, I looked to Rubie Rae to design my perfect ring. Robert made sure that I was kept up to date throughout the design and making of my ring. COVID meant that all communication was done online or over the phone, but Robert personally delivered my ring to ensure it was everything I wanted. I requested changes after the ring had been made and the team were so accommodating, and brought my vision to life. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Robert and the team at Rubie Rae - thank you for the ring

So many reviews from people here who are enamoured with Rubie Rae and for good reason. Robert and Melanie did a fabulous job with my engagement ring. It's simple but elegant and suits my partner very well. In the weeks leading up to the big question I would often sneak downstairs to marvel at the ring like a magpie. What better review than the fact that she said yes! Thank you Rubie Rae for guiding me through the process, I am very happy with the result and would recommend your service to anyone.

I threw Robert a very difficult challenge to incorporate parts of an iconic bridge into the design of the ring. I then brought the deadline forward 2 months! What Rubie Rae produced was absolutely stunning and Robert pulled out all the stops to deliver to my amended timetable. The whole process was straightforward, engaging, rewarding and a lot of fun.

My mum who sadly is terminally ill wanted to give me something special for my birthday and we decided on a sapphire and diamond ring. I looked at lots of websites but really wanted something that mum and I could design together. We met with Melanie from Rubie Rae and came up with a gorgeous design. Mel brought a selection of stunning sapphires so we could choose one together. The final ring is absolutely beautiful and I confess I splashed out and had some earrings made too! I think you can view my ring on the Rubie Rae Instagram page. At the same time Melanie adapted some of mums old jewellery
