I truly couldnt recommend Moira enough for anyone who is looking to buy their engagement and/or wedding rings. Knowing next to nothing about what I wanted or the process to come, Moiras expertise, professionalism and friendly-manner made the whole experience a lot of fun and very exciting. With me having only the faintest ideas, Moiras creativity and skill turned them into something utterly perfect, personal and unique for my fiance-to-be. Needless to say, we were both thrilled with the final result! When the time came, it was then an obvious choice for us to go with Moira, to design

5 star service from start to finish. The engagement ring and our wedding rings are so special and of the highest quality. Enjoyed the whole experience from the drawings right though. Moiras ability to understand her clients and what theyre looking for is nothing short of magic. Thank you again.

Cannot recommend Moira and Megan enough. They were so helpful and attentive throughout the process. I had a faint idea of the ring I wanted, but Moira really turned it into the perfect ring. I couldn't be happier with the ring, and my fianc loved it! I will definitely be returning to Moira in the future for more jewellery (my mum has already said she'll be getting a piece from Moira for the wedding!)

Off all my lockdown projects this was by far my favourite. Despite the restrictions Moira made the experience as interactive as possible, sending endless photos and videos, which I viewed repeatedly! Nothing was too much trouble, when I asked to see different stones, or for different metals, every request was responded to patiently and promptly. The final result is truly a treasure and my photos don't do it justice. I highly recommend Moira for all your jewellery requirements and I'm already rummaging through my jewellery box imagining what wonderful things Moira could do to remodel the stones
