   I order two rings to be custom made for my daughter using a selection of her baby, my mums and my own Jewellery. Now while I may have had to wait around 12 weeks longer than quoted, in fairness, research told me that custom made normally takes around 24 weeks and not the 12 weeks quoted, so maybe I should have been a bit more patient. However it was definitely worth the wait. The rings are absolutely stunning and Chris did a fantastic job, not that I doubted him, he came very highly recommended. Thank you once again. First class service. Sharon McColm

   I wanted a special piece of jewellery to remember my dad who died this year. I had seen Chris's work on Instagram previously and knew that he would be the one to make it. I saw the stars and Birthstone ring and thought it was beautiful. The ring is better than I could have hoped for and the inscription inside is so neat but also readable. I love it so much. Thank you Chris. You are a very talented man.

   We lost our much loved dog, Ozzy, and wanted a keepsake to commemorate him. Having looked around for many months to find the right piece we found Chris’ website and I saw, stars and birthstones ring, and I just knew we’d found the one. I chose the ring, my husband wanted a dog bone pendant in the same style. We contacted Chris to discuss this and he was very accommodating and couldn’t do enough to help us design it. Sending photos of how it might look for us to confirm size. Having now received our completed pieces, we couldn’t be happier. Our Ozzy is now back with us forever. Thank you Chris.

   We chose Chris Parry to make jewellery containing my brothers ashes after searching online, his pieces were by far the most beautiful that we had seen. The only thing I found frustrating was that they took a bit longer than the expected date on the order (possibly not helped that I had ordered three pieces at once) and I had to chase a little for updates-but the pieces were absolutely worth the wait and I’d be happy to wait again. Initially I thought it’s a bit of a shame that there are not more examples of the colours in the actual pieces to demonstrate what the unfinished ring or charm would look like as it’s hard to decide on a colour but the pictures I’ve taken of them since received simply do not do them the justice they deserve. They arrived beautifully boxed. Thank you Chris for getting these made and sent out. I would recommend 100%

   I have just received my beautiful ring this morning. I chose Chris after seeing the 5 star reviews. I wanted a piece of jewellery containing my partners ashes which would help me to feel close to him. I had the ring engraved with the title of "our song" . I didn't expect it to come before Christmas so it feels like a present from my partner. The whole process was very professional and I was kept informed of the process from start to finish. The ring came in a beautiful box and the unused ashes were returned to me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris to anybody wanting a lovely unique piece of jewellery to remember a loved one.

   I commissioned Chris to make two rings for me, and I cannot thank him enough for the whole process from start to finish. The rings were designed to be worn together, stacked, and engraved inside with names, dates and words special to me. Chris created my imagined rings faultlessly; they are delicate, elegant, discreet, totally unique and very comforting to wear. Chris wrote and emailed me at each stage of the process, was kind and thoughtful in the way he contacted me, and obviously really understood how special and significant this commission was to me. The two rings arrived sooner than I expected, beautifully presented in individual boxes, and the high standard of craftsmanship blew me away. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone thinking to remember their loved one with a piece made by him. He has a wide range of designs and colours, something to suit everyone - though I’m sure he would be great at adapting or designing something bespoke as well - and the prices are affordable too. Thank you, Chris. The rings have already given me great joy and I know they will continue to do so every time I look at them.

   Chris is a 'real find'. I've already bought a memorial ashes necklace from him, but decided I'd like another one in a different design and colour. I chose an open heart in red set with my husband's ashes. It arrived yesterday, well ahead of the time frame given when ordering. It's absolutely beautiful and looks stunning on, and unbeknown to Chris it arrived just before what would've been my wedding anniversary, so it is extra special. As before it is well packaged and comes in a jewellery box tied with ribbon inside another box, really special presentation. I have recommended Chris to a work colleague and my step children, who bought rings from him and I will continue to recommend him.

   I spent a long time looking for someone to make this very special jewellery after I lost my Dad. I chose Chris based on the reviews but also the personal service and beautiful designs that he offered. I wasn’t disappointed, the communication was excellent throughout and the pieces were delivered within the time window that he estimated. I ordered a ring for myself and a ring and necklace for my daughters and they are even nicer than we anticipated. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Chris to family and friends.

   I purchased a necklace from Chris a few years ago when my mum passed & it was absolutely beautiful. So when my dad also passed in December 2021, I knew I needed to commission another piece from him. Chris offers excellent communication from the start, & offered professional advice when I wasn’t sure of exact details of the pieces I wanted, as well as being totally flexible and helpful when I requested the ashes of both my parents in each piece of jewellery. When the time came to send off the precious ashes, the instructions & kindness shown is incredibly comforting. I was even informed once the ashes had arrived safely at the workshop, which was greatly appreciated. My items arrived within the suggested date range, packaged absolutely wonderfully. I am thoroughly in love with my necklace & ring. Not only do they look wonderful, but the fact they are totally unique is a joy. I will now have both my parents with me for the rest of my life, thanks to the beautiful works of art Chris has created for me. These are more than just items of jewellery for me, & I feel like Chris understands that completely. If you are looking for someone to trust with the most important piece of jewellery you will own, Chris is absolutely 100% the person for that.
