TESTIMONIALS

"A friend recommended Michael to us and what a great experience it was. Not only is Michael a very knowledgeable and creative professional, the entire process was delightful. The ring that we have is simply stunning and will become a one-of-a-kind family heirloom. We now have a wonderful jeweler in London."

"Michael made my engagement ring which my fiancé proposed with in November last year. I get so many compliments on how amazing and sparkly the diamond is! This November we are getting married so after being so so happy with my engagement ring we had Michael make both our wedding rings which again we are absolutely over the moon with. More beautiful, sparkly diamonds! :) I can’t recommend Michael enough, his style, attention to detail and professionalism are second to none. We could not be any happier with the 3 rings we now have which will last us a lifetime. Thank you for making our engagement and wedding ring experience so special Michael. You are the best!"

"I asked Michael to help re-design my diamond engagement ring. Michael took time to take me through the various options and came up with a classic, stylish and beautiful design which I am so pleased with. I would highly recommend Michael and the outstanding service he offers."

"I have known Michael for years. He designed my engagement and wedding rings in the past, so I knew he would do an amazing job at transforming a heirloom diamond ring I had. Michael took the brief and found the most beautiful tanzanites ( birth stone for my baby girl) to complement the centre diamond and created a beautiful classic 3 stone diamond & tanzanite ring. I am over the moon with the result and more importantly I have now a daily reminder of my daughter’s birth with me. He is professional, classy and so knowledgeable. I could not recommend him enough . I can not wait to work with him on another piece in the near future."

"My husband arranged for Michael to visit us in Yorkshire to look at ideas for a 21st wedding anniversary gift for me. A lovely surprise as I had been looking at various diamond pendants. I wanted to keep it subtle yet beautiful and we opted for a stunning pear drop diamond set in platinum on a classic chain. Michael designed and delivered exactly what I was looking for and it really is stunning."

"Michael has been amazing through the process of creating a bespoke signet ring to celebrate my son’s graduation and big move abroad for work. He worked with Max patiently advising and selecting on type of metal, to how to size and to the position of the coat of arms. The detail was hand engraved despite the fine detail needed and has resulted in a stunning forever piece of art for him to treasure. I cannot recommend Michael highly enough."

"Having a bespoke piece of jewellery made by Michael was an unforgettable experience. Not only was the tsavorite eternity ring made for my 60th birthday stunning with each individual gem chosen with great care, but the service was exceptional and unsurpassed. He is extremely knowledgeable and made the whole process smooth, enjoyable, informative and even fun …. He went out of his way to make sure the schedules were ahead of time, we had regular meetings and were kept continuously informed and updated. He went above and beyond. I will never go anywhere else for jewellery!!"

"Commissioning two pieces from Michael was a great experience. From the proposed designs, and choosing the stones, to the finished pieces that my wife loved. A seamless and most personal service, which I highly recommend."

"Beautiful work and great service. I have purchased a few pieces over the years from Michael and I have always had a positive and satisfactory experience. Micheal sends photo updates regularly; he is a great listener and communicator. I would highly recommend Michael; he truly is a perfectionist and delivers a high-quality customer experience!"

"I have known and bought several pieces from Michael Thornton over the years, and he remains my absolute go-to for jewellery. Most recently, he created a bespoke diamond pendant and necklace for me, and the experience was flawless. Michael’s attention to detail is second to none. He presented several initial designs and worked closely with me to fine-tune the piece, eventually setting the central stone in white gold with a stunning halo of diamonds. His deep knowledge shines through in his ability to design pieces that perfectly showcase precious stones; since wearing it, I have received countless compliments on how the light catches the unique design. Beyond his craftsmanship, Michael is trustworthy, flexible, and incredibly reliable. He makes the entire process effortless by coming directly to your home. If you are looking for high-end, personal craftsmanship that is also affordable, I cannot recommend him highly enough."

Appointments are available at Michael's studio in Islington or, where appropriate, in the comfort of your own home.
