Lovely jewellers and great staff. My boyfriend proposed whilst in Brighton and they re sized the ring (twice!) before we went home. They couldn't do enough for us and the ring is beautiful. Thank you so much.

Baroque is a very special place. Our wedding rings are exactly what we wanted and the experience of designing my own to fit around my engagement ring was amazing. The team at Baroque made the whole experience exciting and very personal and the end product is better than we could have both imagined. They are an 'Gem' of a place and we are so pleased that they were recommended to us.

The team are fantastic. All of them so wonderful and kind. Easy to talk to and not trying to push you into any sale. We had Aaron help us design and make all our rings for our wedding. Would recommend anyone who wanted to get their rings to come here.
