Testimonials

We pride ourselves on our quality, craftsmanship and ability to help people choose the right ring for the right occasion. Here are a few of the testimonials our happy clients have sent to us.

"We just got back from France and picked up the ring. IT'S ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! We're so so pleased with it, it's unlike anything that we've seen anywhere else. The sandcast gold, vintage diamonds and wave layout make it feel really organic. It's breathtaking - blingy but not at all obnoxious.

Thank you so much for all of your hard work getting us here. You've been so so helpful, enabling us to figure out exactly what we wanted. You've made something really special and unique, that we'll carry with us and love for the rest of our lives.

We couldn't be happier."

"I’m just emailing to let you know that our rings and earrings arrived safely yesterday, and also to say a huge thank you. We absolutely love every piece you’ve made for us, and had such a great experience of coming to the workshop and designing all the rings with your expertise. Each piece of jewellery is special for us, and we’re so pleased we had them made by you."

Naomi

"Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! We are absolutely thrilled with the engagement ring I had made for my partner, which is made from sand from two places very special to us. Issy was incredibly helpful at helping me to estimate the size and answer all of my questions. We can't thank you enough and will definitely be back for more soon!"

Corah

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and everyone else at Justin Duance!
You have made the entire process, from picking the original sample ring to selecting our final engagement ring incredibly easy and your knowledge of the metals and the stones has proven extremely valuable in our selection. The ring itself is beautifully made
and was exactly what we were after, so please pass my thanks on to the rest of the team in the workshop. The final delivered package was also incredibly well thought out and clearly reflects the time and effort you put into your products."

Chris & Amber

"Oh my goodness Issy, I absolutely bloody LOVE it!!The texture, the shape, knowing it’s been cast in sand from St Ives….. it feels so special & the diamond is stunning too -so much depth!Thank you so much & please also extend my thanks to all involved."

Phil

"Just to confirm I’ve received my wedding ring today and love it. It's a perfect fit, colour and texture is great and so lovely to be able to have a piece of jewellery made from my grandads wedding day for mine. Thanks again for all you help and support."

Matt

"Our rings have of course arrived safe and sound and we are absolutely in love with them!! We can't wait to be wearing them everyday and it's so hard to have to wait until December until we can do so. Thank you so much again to you and the team for all of your hard work - It has been an absolute privilege and every single step has been amazing from the engagement through to our wedding rings! We cannot thank you enough."

Lizzie & James

"The rings have arrived and I absolutely love them! The finish on the matte sand cast gold is perfect and the sapphire setting was such a great suggestion from you and works wonderfully. I just got back from working on an archaeological dig and when I opened the sand-cast rings I thought they look so contemporary but also remind me of something ancient that’s been marked by the earth. They are beautiful and will be much loved pieces."

Nastassja

"I just had to write again and let you know how much I love my rings. I wear them every day - and it feels like they are "home". I don't think I'll ever buy another ring for my right hand because they are perfect. Just wanted to let you know how much joy they are bringing me. (And I love that there is an inscription in one - and diamonds on the inside of the other one). I just love them. Thank you."

Greta

"I just wanted to send a quick thankyou email - I picked up my order from the post office today and it's perfect in every way! The packaging and presentation of the order was also a real joy for me to open. I'll be in touch again in the future if the size needs adjusting, but for now you've got another very happy customer."

Chris

"We are OBSESSED with the rings you created for the both of us! ❤ Honestly, one of our favorite pieces of our upcoming ceremony that we have been sharing with friends and family. Only a little under 3 more months before we get to exchange them. A huge thanks to the entire team for exceeding all of our wedding band dreams, and making them so extremely special to us. It means the world!"

Cali & Matt

"Thank you Justin and the team for my utterly beautiful scattered diamonds ring. It sits perfectly against my sand cast wedding ring. My mum was kind enough to give me some diamonds from my late grandmother's ring and it feels very special to have them included in a ring I will be wearing for ever more. My husband's ring and both my rings are Porthcurno sand, my favourite beach, the sand there has large flakes in it and I really love the texture sand casting creates. If you get the chance to visit the workshop, do it! I recommend Justin's work, and excellent service, to everyone."

Extra Texture Sandcast Diamond Scatter Ring

"I just received my ring this morning - covid caused a few delays. So worth the wait though I absolutely LOVE IT. It is everything I was hoping for and more. The pink is almost a beige colour gold that goes really well with my skin tones and that little argyle
sparkle at certain angles is the cherry on the cake. Fits perfectly too!
Thank you so much to you, Justin and the rest of the team. I'll treasure this piece forever."

Jordan

"We wanted to say a massive thank you for our gorgeous rings.
The white gold is a perfect match to my engagement ring which you also made, and the sapphire and aquamarine were my 'something blue'.
It was so special to be able to combine gold from my husband's mother's ring, and my grandmother's and great-grandmother's rings to link the families together. Also for them to be cast in the sand from the beach where we were engaged gave us a really personal touch. We also love my husbands cuff links made out of the same combination of heirloom family gold. We will treasure them for ever. Thank you for making such unique memories of our special day."


Laura and Tim

"I would like to say thank you for the care, time and dedication that was taken by yourself and the team to redesign my engagement ring. You listened and created exactly what I wanted without allowing the safety of the diamond in its setting to be compromised. I love it so much and I cannot stop looking at it!”

Branka

“My ring arrived today and I couldn’t be happier!! It’s absolutely gorgeous, fits perfectly and is exactly what I wanted : ) I especially love the teeny tiny diamond! You and your team have been really amazing at creating just what I had pictured in my head so perfectly, thank you so so much! I will treasure it forever : )”

Chloe

“I received my wedding ring on Friday 22nd January and would like to thank you so much. It’s beautiful and presented in such a thoughtful way. I admire your ethos and aim, to be environmentally friendly and this reflects in the jewellery that you make. Thanks again.”

June

“This whole thing just gets better and better. I really don’t know what to say and how to thank you guys. It’s just been brilliant from start to finish and I am genuinely so happy to have found you guys. The whole experience has been simply brilliant and it was just lovely to meet you all – it really does make the ring extra special for me so thank you soooo much from the bottom of my heart 😊”

“I ordered one of Justin Duance’s unique, beautiful wood inlay sterling silver rings as a wedding band for my husband in 2013. Despite him knocking it about, it’s lasted beautifully, and only needed slight repairs after over seven years’ worth of wear. I got in touch with Taiman, who has been incredibly helpful. She suggested an upgrade to titanium, and offered to fix the original ring as a keepsake. We’ve just gotten the upgrade in the mail, and we couldn’t be more pleased. The matte finish and darker tone of the titanium complements the smooth wood inlay perfectly – it’s both trendy and timeless, and we’re thrilled with the look and the quality. (The original sterling ring has been repaired seamlessly – we can’t even tell where my husband managed to damage it.) The packaging is also fantastic – included were some polishing cloths and a wonderful, eco-friendly keepsake ring box. I’d confidently recommend both Justin Duance rings and customer service to anyone. We adore their work and will most certainly be ordering again in the future.”

Erica

“I have just received my order and the ring is absolutely beautiful! The colour and movement of grain is perfect and the words engraved are lovely. I am over the moon with it and I know my partner will love it too. I want to thank you for the help you have given me with my queries and for creating such a lovely piece of jewellery, the customer service provided in communication and in the finished product is brilliant! I highly recommend you to anyone looking for a piece of beautifully made unique jewellery and will keep you in mind for future purchases. Thank you again Taiman and team!”

Sam

“My bracelet arrived today and I absolutely love it, even better than I thought it would be. I just want to say thank you again for all your help and impeccable customer service you’ve been an absolute pleasure to deal and you’re a credit to your employer. Thank you so much, I can’t say it enough, it’s something that I will treasure forever.”

Pete

“Neil’s ring arrived today and it is perfect. I’m emailing to say the packaging was beautiful, the cork box is lovely and the care pack was unexpected. Genuinely the service we got was absolutely wonderful and I would like to say thank you to you and the team there. Our wedding reception may be on hold due to covid but I will be marrying the most wonderful man and we will treasure the beautiful ring you guys made. Thank you so much.”

Karen & Neil

“First off, I love my ring. People tell me regularly, that it’s one of the coolest men’s wedding bands that they’ve ever seen but I don’t even care because I like it so much. I seriously think that it gives me superpowers. Thank you! It was also so awesome to work with you that I’m telling everyone about Justin Duance. You guys have such a great thing going, especially for people who have gold that’s meaningful to them. I don’t know if I shared this with you but my father passed away in 2016. And the work that you did to transform his cufflinks into a ring that I get to wear every day is a great gift. The ring that you made for me holds the foundational strength and energy that my wife and I experience in our marriage AND it serves as a reminder of the love of my father – two blessings that continue to unfold in my life. You were with me every step of the way in the creative process, with the know-how to get the job done and the awareness of the technical aspects of the project, and that enabled me to really open up and imagine the possibilities when it came to the wedding band. The communication was awesome and the execution was perfect – including the international shipping, the timing, and the last-minute idea to add the engraving. You handled it all! I give you guys six stars and 11 out of 10. And recommend you to any guy who wants a ring that tells a powerful story.”

David

“I just want to say an enormous thank you, I gave the ring to my husband on his birthday and he was so thrilled & totally didn’t expect it, perfect fit too – so glad we went down a whole size, he needed it – and he loves the wood and ring itself, a perfect likeness to the one he lost. He is completely chuffed to have a wedding ring again, said he felt wrong without one! Thank you again for going out of your way to be so helpful, we were reminded why we came to you in the first place, such fantastic customer care and beautifully made rings.”

Emilie

“Wow, I was blown away when I opened the box to reveal my beautiful engagement ring. I just love it. The delicate, carefully crafted setting is perfect for the moissanite, I love the natural colour of the white gold, it’s so comfortable to wear and the fact it’s been cast in sand all the way from my husband’s favourite beach in South Africa makes it incredibly special and personal. Oh, and it also looks great next to my wedding band – a perfect pair! Thank you so much for creating a stunning piece for me. I look forward to wearing it every day and treasuring it forever 🙂 ” 

Abbie

“We recently paid you a visit in order to have a look at your work and pick our engagement and wedding rings. I changed my choices quite a bit after seeing them in the flesh and picked the brown diamond you actually had in the display ring. I specifically mentioned that I wanted the stone set low because of my outdoor lifestyle and the channel ring with darker brown diamonds – not that I was fussy or anything! They were ready as expected, and after a delay to the post because of the snow, the rings arrived. I can only say that I am over the moon with them both – they fit perfectly, are the perfect colour, setting and are really twinkly. They are noticeably hand crafted and beautiful and I enjoyed seeing where they were made. I just wanted to say a special thank you for paying such attention to what we were after and that we are delighted. I am very excited for wedding day (end of April) as I’ll be able to re-unite the two rings which sit so beautifully together. Thank you once again.”

Rachel and Jon

“Our rings arrived last week and I just wanted to say how much we love them – they are so beautiful (even more than we had imagined!) and will be treasured always. Huge, heartfelt thanks to you, Justin and your talented team. Our wedding is in August – we will send you some pics if we get any nice shots of the rings. Thanks again – we are chuffed!”

Sophie and Tom

“Just wanted to say a big thank you for our lovely wedding rings you made us. They are unique and very special. The packaging they were received in was also very special and very well thought out. The communication received by email was always friendly and informative. Thanks again for offering such a special service from the moment we walked in until the moment we received our rings.”

Lara & Rob

"I just wanted to get in touch as the necklace has arrived safely. It is absolutely perfect I couldn't have asked for more beautiful piece of jewellery! 
The engraving is gorgeous and the necklace is so unique. I cannot thank you enough and please pass on my thanks to the workshop also as it has been crafted beautifully."
