All our dealings with Michael were excellent from the start. Communication was great and everything happened on time as he described. He took his time to understand what I liked and my particular taste, which I appreciate are unusual. We chatted through some ideas and I showed him a ring I liked to some extent but then was able to work with him to design my own unique ring. The ring is beautiful and nicer than I imagined. I am really pleased and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to my family or friends. I truly have a beautiful piece of jewellery to enjoy for years to come. read less

Michael invested many an hour exploring my wants/wishes for my partner's ring. He is honest and forward when something wasn't going to work, or perhaps wouldn't look as I had intended. He was able to clearly describe the pearls & pitfalls of designing a ring and all the nuances of how it would sit on the finger & impact its "wearability". His turn around time was very fast (I've previously had jewellery made which took some time). Not that I'll need another engagement ring, but I know where I'll be going for any other jewellery, and who I'll be recommending to those around me! read less

He was incredibly attentive, kind, and patient throughout the entire process. Michael came to me and carefully listened to my ideas, offering invaluable advice that gave me the confidence to finalise the design for my engagement ring. His expertise and passion for his craft truly shine through in every aspect of his work. The final product exceeded all my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire process. If you’re looking for a custom jeweller who genuinely cares about bringing your vision to life, I highly recommend Michael and Burgundy Bespoke. read less

Bronagh had a matching platinum wedding ring set with round brilliant cut diamonds. I tentatively asked Michael if he could do something with my dad's wedding ring (my dad has passed away and my mum had given me his ring). He suggested setting it in a platinum ring and the results are amazing. We are both thrilled with our rings. I highly recommend Michael, he is very patient and all round top bloke. read less

As someone who had no prior knowledge of sapphires or other precious stones, Michael took the time to explain to me what to look out for in terms of carat weight, dimensions, clarity etc which allowed me to make an informed decision on the right stone. We looked at multiple stones before deciding on the right one and I never felt pressured by Michael to make a fast decision. We then designed the ring to my specifications and Michael provided good insight on what would work well for my idea. Overall the ring came out just as I had pictured. I would definitely recommend Michael’s services to anyone who is looking for a bespoke ring. Thanks Michael. read less

I am very fussy, but he worked with my partner to find the sapphire of my dreams; my engagement ring was better than I could have even imagined. He has made the entire process effortless, and worked with us to design something that was beautiful while also keeping within budget. I will be ordering my wedding band through him as I am so happy with everything. Thank you, Michael. read less

The ring holds a special memory for me as my grandmother and i almost share a birthday in October (5th/6th) and she bequeathed the ring to me when she died. The stone is lovely but the setting was old fashioned, claw style and the gold was also wearing thin. Every time I wore it, I worried the stone would fall out. But I had no idea what I really wanted to do, so it sat in my jewellery box, getting sadder and loosing it's lustra (opals like to be worn). Then I sat down with Michael and we brainstormed a little. He had a couple of amazing ideas and when I saw his design for the ring, I was so impressed! We played around with the addition of other stones and I ended up going with just the Opal in a unique setting that flowed so well. I couldn't wait to see the ring and it turned out even better than I expected! Now Im wearing it with pride, and it looks amazing, with the stone polished and set so beautifully. I love Michael's work. It's unique, he genuinely cares, pays attention to every detail and his charges are real value for money. he presents your items so beautifully too. read less

When we initially had a family heirloom ring gifted to us to reset and use for our own engagement ring, I'll admit the process seemed daunting. However, I'm so glad that we found Michael and had him as a trusted and knowledgable guide on our journey. He patiently took the time to sit with us and take our story and ideas, shaping them into a design with so much meaning and beauty. His communication was always prompt and clear without ever making us feel pressured. In particular, we so very much appreciated the way Michael reassured us that there was no rush and that he would take as much time and as many revisions on the design as needed until we were happy. In the final design Michael was able to create a wonderfully unique design which incorporated many features we loved and felt so very right for us. Words cannot describe how much we love our ring. We continue to marvel at how Michael managed to take a stone that we genuinely felt was too big for my small hand (a peculiar problem we know!) and incorporate it into a design which is so balanced and perfectly set. Others frequently complement how the beautiful details in the design, which include petals to frame the stone and a spilt band, make them really want to take a second look at the beauty of this ring. We cannot imagine having had a smoother and kinder experience and very much look forward to working with Burgundy Bespoke again to create our wedding bands. read less

I had a design and image of the finished product ready to go which helped me massively to begin with, he took that information and brought it to life right in front of my eyes, it was truely remarkable. I had a budget in mind and the finished product met bang on what I was willing to spend. The making of the ring did not take very long at all, I was very surprised at the short turn around, from deposit to finished product. Can not recommend his services highly enough and looking forward to the making of the wedding bands. read less

He came for a consultation to our home to get a brief from my partner and I on our ring tastes and styles. From there he drafted up great graphics that showed us details of how our rings would look, we were then able to ask for alterations and suggestions. He has the patience of an angel! He custom designed two beautiful ladies engagement rings that we have not taken off! Very happy and we will be getting our wedding bands design by Michael also. We went with Platinum and Yellow Gold options with classic designs. Michael managed to set a tricky 2.5ct Trillion for my partner, which some jewellers had told us would be a challenge they weren't up to. NOTE: Don't be fooled by the stereotype that Bespoke means $$$, Michael is a true professional and offers quality over and above, but can cater to all tastes and price points. read less

Michael was incredible throughout that process, guiding me and then delivering an exceptional ring that she absolutely loves. It made the whole process stress-free and very memorable.
