Kind Words

Richard made an engagement ring and wedding rings for our son and his wife who introduced him to us. They were particularly appreciative of the way Richard had guided them through the decision making process and we were impressed by the work that Richard had undertaken. Our experience of meeting with Richard to discuss a “dream ring” was equally positive. The sample stones he provided, the guidance and advice he gave regarding the setting made it so easy to arrive at a positive decision. He produced a beautiful single stone diamond ring in a lovely setting with matching band to a very tight deadline as he knew that we wanted them for a very special occasion. In addition he has also designed and made a stunning pair of earrings from diamonds recycled from an old ring. We would have no hesitation in recommending Richard – a real craftsman with a helpful and sensitive approach.

Richard provided an excellent and personal service that really put us at ease during a process that isn’t always crystal clear! His advice was considered professional and complimented our wishes. We now have a beautiful and unique piece of jewellery that will be treasured for ever. He went out of his way to deliver the ring in time for a special family event. You couldn’t have asked for a better service. We look forward to Richard’s help in making our wedding rings and would recommend his work to anyone.

I commissioned Richard Talman to design an eternity ring for my wife for our 5th wedding anniversary. He gave expert advice about the ring design and was very receptive to what I wanted. He brought a selection of diamonds and sapphires so that I could see them and checked I was happy with the formation, size, colour etc and then did the work at very short notice. I was delighted by the final result as was my wife who loves the ring. I was very impressed by his enthusiasm, attention to detail and workmanship and he clearly takes great pride in his work. I would not hesitate to recommend him and will definitely ask him to do more for me in the future.

We have been exceptionally pleased with the work that Richard has undertaken for us. He is undoubtedly highly skilled, not only in his craft, but also in communicating with us as clients. He has been able to take our initial request, to work with us to understand the exciting design possibilities open to us and produced work of unquestionable beauty and quality. Richard has always worked strictly within budget and to the timeline he outlined to us. We have been happy to recommend Richard to friends in the past and would have no hesitation do so again in the future.

We had RTFJ design a ring and necklace for my wife. Richard took us through the whole process in the comfort of our home, from advising on diamonds to design ideas. The result was unique pieces to a high specification. Whatever your requirements we have no hesitation in recommending RTFJ.

I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending his services.

Richard has made some beautiful pieces for me including rings,earings and necklaces all of which have been much admired by friends and colleagues.I have been delighted to recommend Richard to my friends who, in turn, have been thrilled with his work be it traditional or modern.

Rich was great to deal with – reassuring, professional with original ideas. Throughout the consultation, design and manufacture of the engagement ring and wedding bands, Rich always went the extra mile to ensure that we were both totally happy with the end result. You just don’t get that kind of service on the high street – I won’t hesitate to recommend Rich in the future – thanks.

Richard Talman was recommended to us when we looked to have our engagement and wedding rings made. We had visited a number of jewellers, including many in Hatton Gardens, and decided to commission Richard for a number of reasons: he was very friendly, flexible, knowledgeable, honest and trustworthy; he showed us the diamonds he would use to make sure we were happy with them; his pricing was very competitive beating all previous quotes we’d received; and his workmanship is so good that he only asked us to pay him once we received the final rings and were happy with them. Once we commissioned the rings, Richard gave us a timeline and kept us up-to-date with progress. He delivered on time and also polished our engagement rings just before our wedding so all rings would sparkle. We are extremely happy with the rings and have already recommended Richard to a number of friends.

Richard has produced several pieces for us over the years, including an exquisite engagement ring, wedding rings and a beautiful pair of diamond earrings. He is both an artist and a master craftsman. The whole experience is always a pleasure from start to finish, with Richard advising and suggesting the best ways to achieve exactly what we wanted within our budget and then creating the piece to absolute perfection. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone and in fact I have done a few times and each and every one of the people I referred were nothing short of delighted with him and his work.
