Jonathan and Yasmin have looked after us for many years and also provided our daughter's engagement and wedding rings. The service and attention to detail are faultless and nothing is too much trouble.

The lovely Jonathan and Yasmin just had to be the pair to help me design the ring Id had in mind for so long, when I returned home from a trip across Africa with a Tanzanite.
Yasmin has such a talent, with her designs bringing my vision to life and Jonathan brings his extensive knowledge and advice. Their staff are great too, Julie was so welcoming - The dream team! I couldnt be happier with the end product My sparkly stone now has a beautiful platinum setting to match and a wonderful story to go with it

We cannot recommend Jonathan Lambert enough after the outstanding service we received with my engagement ring and our wedding bands earlier this year. My husband approached Yasmin when he wanted to design an engagement ring that was different from the "norm" and truly unique to me. Dan was so impressed by the advice he received from Yasmin and the design she had created. Both Jonathan and Yasmin kept Dan updated throughout the process of my ring being made and when the finished article was ready, Dan was blown away by how the ring looked - needless to say, so was I! The excitement continued
