Kind Words

After meeting Richard at a wedding fair where I work and being really impressed with his samples and display pieces, my partner and I decided to visit Richard in his workshop and see if we could possibly get some wedding rings designed and custom made as we really fancied something a little more special than anything the ‘high street jeweller’ could offer!

Both myself and my now wife were totally impressed with not only how professional and accommodating Richard was but what a really friendly and nice guy he is too! He was so helpful from the start with the designing right through to the pick up date.

As far as our wedding bands go they were nothing short of stunning, we were so happy with them, the care and detail that has gone into crafting them is flawless! Being so impressed I just had visit Richard for a wedding gift for my wife on our wedding day. Once again he was totally helpful and created a set of beautiful diamond ear studs, that my wife was blown away with!

We would both like to thank Richard for everything and really look forward to dealing with him in the future.

We could not be happier with our wedding rings! The entire experience of working with Richard, from initial discussions to final collection, was an absolute pleasure. We felt entirely at ease from the word go and had complete confidence in Richard’s abilities to realise our ideas. The quality of service we received was quite simply, superb and we would not hesitate in returning to him in the future or recommending RTFJ to friends.

Richard was recommended to me by my son and his fiancée, he has made their wedding rings. I wanted a ring, that my mother-in-law gave me, re-modelled into an eternity ring I could wear. Richard listened to my request then suggested some ideas. He has created a beautiful ring which is everything I wanted and more! Richard is a very talented man, who is friendly and approachable. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a high quality, individual piece of jewellery. Thank you Richard.

For anyone who has been lucky enough to find out about RTFJ – look no further. Richard is an honest, hardworking and passionate craftsman who could not do enough to ensure we were happy with our rings. No matter what your budget is, Richard will endeavour to meet your needs and produce something that is of a far better quality than anything you’ll find in a high-street jewellery shop. To finish off, Richard invited us back just before the wedding to clean and resize my engagement ring and make it look like new. We now have one-of-a-kind, hand crafted wedding rings and it was a pleasure to know who made them and where they were made.

We had a wedding ring made together with pearl bracelet and pearl earnings. The craftsmanship was superb and all worn by my wife on our wedding day. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble and he was happy to see us at a time that suited us. An offer to clean my wife’s engagement ring before the big day was very much appreciated. I would have no hesitation in recommending Richard and look forward to using his services again.

I cannot thank Richard enough for the beautiful ring he has made for me. Combining my my Mother’s engagement ring with additional stones he has created a stunning piece of jewellery, which I will treasure. I would be delighted to recommend Richard ( I have already to various friends and family), he is a sensitive and caring professional , a true craftsman.

I had contacted Richard via his website to enquire about getting my engagement ring resized. He instantly replied with indicative quotes and timescales. We popped into his workshop that evening hoping to have a chat and confirm details as I was very nervous at handing over my new jewellery to someone I didn’t know. I shouldn’t have worried, Richard was welcoming and understanding from the start, he kindly made the required changes there and then, much to our delight. A very talented and considerate man, reliable and reasonably priced too! We’ll definitely be back to design wedding rings!

From the moment we met Richard we knew that we had picked the correct person to make our rings. The service from beginning to end was outstanding and Richard made the process very easy. We are very happy with our purchases and can not thank Richard enough.

I first meet Richard at a wedding fare at Wiston House. He was standing by his little stand and caught my eye. There was something about his warm smile that attracted me to go over. I was instantly aware of how genuine and friendly he was. He then started talking about rings and how he makes them in his lab. I was so impressed because he spoke with such a passion. Before we had even finished I knew I would use Richard to make our wedding rings. Sure enough 3 months later he sold me a fantastic ring. Richard and the service he provides was and is extremely professional and very good. He is passionate about his work and I really can’t recommend him highly enough. He is one of those rare business men that actually looks after his customers, a very rare commodity these days. I hope him all the best in the future.

I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Richard Talman by a friend whilst visiting the UK. I had recently lost my husband and wanted to combine 3 very important rings to me into one ring to bring all the memories together. I found Richard to be very respectful, kind and helpful in designing a ring to give me the joy that the original rings had inspired. I have waited with some trepidation whilst he performed his magic and yesterday received the finished ring. I am pleased to say the ring is beautiful, elegant and the design aspects suggested by Richard have given the exact effect I had dreamt of. He kept me well informed whilst making the ring sending me emails showing the combining of the gold to assure me that this big step of resetting the symbols of our life together were truly respected. Today I know my husband would have been as pleased with the wonderful result as I am, the craftsmanship and care shown to me by Richard has made my new ring the symbol of all our happy time, and for that I thank him and would recommend his talent to all.
