Kind Words

Client Stories

Many of our clients began the process feeling uncertain – but found clarity, guidance and confidence through our bespoke engagement ring service.


“Neil created the perfect engagement ring for my fiancée. I had specific requirements for a sapphire, and Neil’s expertise and attention to detail exceeded all expectations. He sourced a stunning Sri Lankan sapphire and guided me through the entire process with professionalism and care. The ring is beautifully handcrafted, and the whole experience was seamless. I highly recommend N. J. Geddes for anyone looking for bespoke, high-quality jewellery!

Mr H. Shepherd

“Prior to visiting the lovely Neil at his shop in Boston Spa we were very underwhelmed by other jewellery shops where we did not feel valued or ‘special’. Neil made us feel incredibly welcome and went above and beyond to help us find the perfect rings! Interestingly we chose my engagement ring in a completely different style to the one I thought I would like. I absolutely love it and it is perfect in every way. So we then decided

Mrs J. Wright

“Outstanding service from start to finish, by Neil himself. Bespoke service exactly to the specification I requested; a service that you cannot find on the high street. The ring itself is beautiful and exceeded my expectations and my now fiancée is over the moon with the ring.

Mr N. Balmer

Having thoroughly researched the type of engagement ring I wanted and seeing many examples on the high street, I needed a more bespoke solution combining a number of key features for the diamond, ring setting and ring band. Neil provided the personal service that I found extremely valuable in creating a bespoke ring to my choosing including sourcing me the perfect diamond. My now Wife still gazes at her ring in admiration and I can't give a better testimony than that. I highly recommend Neil and the tailored advice and service he provides.

Mr A. Champaneri, DLA Piper LLP

Neil was fantastic through the entire process, from the outset he was interested in us, our story and who we were as people. He is someone who takes great pride in bringing happiness to people through his jewellery. His knowledge and advice helped me navigate an area I had next to zero knowledge of. Assisting me in getting the highest quality ring for the available budget. The finished ring surpassed all expectations, mine and my partners, and was the icing on the cake to what was a very special day. It is safe to say my fiancée is extremely happy. Thank you so much.

How much does a bespoke engagement ring cost?

Our bespoke engagement rings typically begin from around £5,000, with many clients choosing to invest between £5,000 and £15,000, depending on the diamonds and jewels, design, and craftsmanship involved.

Each piece is individually created, and we’ll guide you through the options to achieve something truly exceptional, always with complete clarity on pricing before we begin.

How does the bespoke design process work?

It begins with a relaxed conversation, either in our Yorkshire boutique or on a call to begin,  where we explore your ideas, preferences, and any inspiration you may have.

From there, we develop designs, source exceptional diamonds or jewels such as; fine sapphires or rubies, and refine every detail with you before your ring is handcrafted. The process is personal, enjoyable, and entirely tailored to you.

Can the ring be a surprise, or do we design it together?

Both options are possible. Some clients plan the proposal alone, others prefer to involve their partner. We will adapt the process to suit you.

Are your engagement rings handmade in England?

Yes, the majority of our engagement rings are handcrafted here in England using traditional goldsmithing techniques.

This approach allows us to create pieces of exceptional quality, with a level of detail and character that simply cannot be replicated through mass production.

Do you only work with diamonds?

No – while natural diamonds are a classic choice, we also work with sapphires, rubies, emeralds and various other gemstones.

What if I don’t know the ring size?

This is very common, and we can guide you on subtle ways to estimate size.
If needed, we can also resize the ring after the proposal to ensure a perfect fit.

What are the 4Cs of diamonds?

Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat – the four key factors that define a diamond’s beauty and value. Neil will explain how these apply to your chosen stone.

Are your natural diamonds certified and ethically sourced?

Yes, all of our diamonds are responsibly sourced and come with certification from respected laboratories such as GIA

This ensures both quality and full transparency.

Do you offer consultations outside Yorkshire?

Yes. While many clients visit us at our Boston Spa boutique in Yorkshire, Neil also works with clients across the UK and internationally. Consultations can be held online, or by special arrangement in a location convenient to you.

Do you offer lab-grown diamonds?

At N J Geddes Fine Jewellery, we specialise in natural diamonds, carefully selected for their rarity, beauty, and enduring value.

While lab-grown diamonds have become more widely available in recent years, our focus remains on creating heirloom-quality pieces using natural stones that have formed over millions of years and hold long-term significance.

For many of our clients, this sense of permanence and authenticity is an important part of what an engagement ring represents. We believe a piece created to mark such a meaningful moment should carry that same lasting quality.

How long does it take to make a bespoke engagement ring?

Typically, the process takes around 5–6 weeks from design approval to completion.

If you have a specific date in mind, we’ll always do our best to accommodate it.

What happens after I collect the ring?

Our service continues beyond the proposal. We provide ongoing aftercare and support to ensure your ring is treasured for years to come.

When should I buy an engagement ring?

It depends on your plans. Ready-to-wear pieces are available immediately, while bespoke designs may take several weeks. Starting early ensures you have the perfect ring in time.

How do I choose the right engagement ring?

We guide you through the process in a clear and uncomplicated way, focusing on what truly matters,  beauty, balance, craftsmanship and value.

Rather than overwhelming you with technical detail, we’ll present a curated selection of diamonds and explain the differences, helping you choose with confidence.
