Absolutely fantastic experience. Laid back professionalism at its finest from James and his friendly, experienced team. We headed to the Jewellery Quarter to get some inspiration for my engagement ring, after going into many of what felt like the same rings different shop scenario, with people suited and booted ready to sell, it was a refreshing change to come across James Newman. Independent, unique, tailored, listened to, patient, straightforward, non-judgmental, care are all words I would associate with them. The process demonstrates they really do want you to be happy with your choice, and their making of it. We are so happy with the outcome and wouldn?t have any of it any other way. Highly recommend this lovely establishment and its people.

Thank you so much to everyone at James Newman for my beautiful diamond ring.I came to the showroom with a very clear idea about what I wanted and tried on the most beautiful diamond ring for sizing, which completely changed my mind... The design was then remade for me in my preferred yellow gold.It sparkles and shines and makes me smile every time I wear it... I have waited a very long time for this ring and it was well worth it!

I first got a bespoke engagement ring from James. The entire process from start to finish was amazing. The meetings were fantastic, the communication was great all the way along, how the designs would look and different options with regards to practically and style. The finished product we absolutely love. We then got our wedding rings from James as well. The team make it so easy and couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thank you for everything!

I've bought several pieces of jewellery from James Newman over the last few years, and in addition to the quality of workmanship, the customer service is fantastic.

We bought a James Newman engagement ring around 15 years ago from a shop in Chester. Unfortunately the ring was lost and never found. So I contacted James directly and explained that I?d like to replace the ring as a surprise for my partners 50th. James actually remembered the ring and made a beautiful copy which obviously did the trick as we then got married 6 months later. We did, of course, visit James first to choose our wedding rings and again they are just as beautiful as the engagement ring.Not only is James Newmans jewellery beautifully unique but James and his colleagues are genuine lovely friendly people, laid back professionalism.

Just picked up my new ring from James. I spent some time in the jewellery quarter looking for a true custom ring experience (I found most other jewellers just proposed a change to an existing design but noone else did a real custom ring design) and James and team really delivered. We had about 3 or 4 rounds of design till we got what I wanted, and having picked the ring up now it was everything I expected. Definitely come see James and the team if you are looking for a great custom experience.

My husband and I were looking for a jeweller to make my engagement ring similar to a design I'd seen and loved. We found James through a wander around the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter, and I'm so glad we did! He made the whole process feel so special - I will never forget the moment of actually choosing which diamond was to go in my ring, or trying on the silver version to check the fit before the final version was made. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and the ring I have is absolutely beautiful - I often get comments on it. I highly recommend! Thank you very much James and team.

After meeting a few jewellers and not feeling excited about the wedding ring journey with them we couldn't have had a more contrasting experience with James.His inventiveness and style, his joy to be involved even if the project is different to what he normally creates, his personability, his communication style and complete transparency... it was the most exciting and comfortable experience to share such a precious journey with James. He has made heirlooms into pieces we will keep and wear forever. I was brought to tears when I collected our wedding jewellery.Thank you James and team!!!

James did the perfect job of designing and creating our bespoke wedding bands. After not being able to find a band to compliment my engagement ring anywhere, James turned the experience of buying our wedding bands around. The process from design to creation was effortless. James? creative and unique flair shone through in his ideas and he was meticulous throughout the creation process, resulting in a beautiful and flawless wedding band! Not to mention his professionalism and friendly nature which underpinned every element of our experience. Thank you so much James! We will definitely be back for more jewellery!
