This is such a beautiful piece. It is quality and very nicely made. I get compliments on it every day. I have already referred 2 people to the site to order their own, after seeing mine. I highly recommend Heraldic Jewelry, great jewelry and great customer service.
The shield pendant turned out better than I imagined. Extremely pleased with my purchase. The staff were courteous and helpful and made the whole process stress free. I will be ordering additional products next year. Thanks from a very satisfied customer !!
The quality of the ring is absolutely beautiful. It is presented in an impeccable box with a little light to highlight the intricate detail of the engraving. I’m giving 5 stars because overall I’m really impressed with the quality, value for money and presentation. I contacted Heraldic Jewlry for an update via live chat and they responded straight away. Thank you very much.
I was not sure what to expect from this custom design that I worked on with help from the Heraldic Jewelry design team. In the end I could not be happier with the outcome. The workmanship, presentation and delivery were excellent. I received the ring here in Australia 10 days after approving the final proof, outstanding service all round. Thank you, you have a customer for life !!
Great quality solid sterling silver ring. The McLean Clan Crest design turned out exactly as I wanted. The Heraldic Jewelry customer service was second to none, my questions and concerns were addressed promptly despite the time difference. I am happy to recommend this company to anyone considering a crest ring. Thanks from a very happy customer !
We received the rings a couple of days ago and our daughter-in-law absolutely loved it (as did I)! We now all have matching rings. I attached a photo of all our rings. Thank you so much!!!!
Thanks very much to the entire Heraldic Jewelry team. I received my ring today and I could not be happier. The order, design and shipping processs could not have gone smoother. I received the ring within 2 weeks as promised and I am proudly wearing it on my finger. Family members will be oredering additional rings in the near future. Thanks again !!
Thank you so so much. I ordered a custom family crest pendant a few weeks ago It just arrived and it is gorgeous!!! The customer service was amazing and the pendant perfectly reflected the design we provided. I look forward to ordering additional pieces in the future.
I recently ordered matching family crest rings for myself and my Son. The rings turned out much better than expected. Many thanks to everyone at Heraldic Jewelry for making my vision a reality and creating unique family heirlooms for our family. We took a photo of the rings side by side, see attached. !!
The ring I ordered arrived today and I’m delighted with it. It looks gorgeous and I’m sure my husband will love it. I’ll be giving it to him at the weekend and hopefully it fits. I’ll message you if it needs to be sized. Thank you so much !!
It was great working with Heraldic Jewelry. The ring is beautiful, fits perfect. Thank you !!
We have made a number of purchases from Heraldic Jewelry and could not be happier with the experience. I have told my sister of the quality and service, she has ordered for her son!! Thanks, Ngaireta
The quality and attention to detail is very good. I really like the ring with my family crest. Thank you also for the professional customer service.
Just wanted to let Heraldic know that I love it and that it’s design and craftsmanship is beautiful !!
Very nice looking ring. Being able to talk to somebody before ordering made all the difference. The team at Heraldic Jewelry are knowledgable and friendly and the finished ring was everything I had hoped for. I will wear this ring with pride. Thanks for all your help !!
Beautiful ring. This is the 4th ring I have bought from here, I love their work.
This ring, our second or third such order, arrived quickly after a phone conversation with customer service. They were very helpful and the design and execution were excellent. Even the presentation box, with the focused wee light, was a very nice touch. Thank you for another family heirloom from Heraldic Jewelry.
Excellent products. Ordered a couple over the years. Very satisfied.
Can't rate this enough! The ring was absolutely beautiful. Its not letting me rate it 10 put of 10 on the review options but I would 100% recommend this as a 10/10!
I just wanted to send a sincere thank you—my family coat of arms ring arrived, and I couldn’t be happier with it. It looks fantastic, and I truly appreciate all the hard work that went into making it right. It also means a lot that you honored the lifetime warranty from when I originally purchased it 5 years ago. I really noticed that the jeweler added a bit more silver around the bottom of the ring where the previous issue had been—that extra care made a big difference compared to the original. Thanks again for everything. I truly appreciate the attention to detail and your commitment to quality. Wishing you a great day! Best regards, Steve
This ring is magnificent, everything for which i was hoping! The jeweler worked on several different drawings for me till it was just right. The time for making and shipping it seemed fast. And the ring itself is beautifully rendered and solid, very heavy. I couldn’t have asked for anything more out of the experience. The customer service was helpful, friendly and they always got back to me quickly. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Thank you for my perfect ring!
I wanted to share my delight in receiving the Gold crest necklace I ordered from you last month. The quality of the work surpassed my wildest expectations. I was unsure when ordering how the Natural Finish, without the black background, would look. I was assured by the wonderful customer service rep that I would not be disappointed with the finish and he was so right, it looks amazing !! Thanks very much to all at Heraldic Jewelry for making this whole experience so great and creating a keepsake that I know will be in our family for generations to come.
I just received the 14KT Gold signet ring today. on time as promised. We are absolutley thrilled with the quality of the finished ring. This custom design project turned out better than we imagined. Thanks to all the team at Heraldic Jewelry who made our dream ring design a reality. We will be ordering additional jewelry pieces with the same design. Thanks so much !!
Hello I just received my Crest Ring and it's great, thank you for a doing a wonderful job. Can you send me the image of the approved proof you sent me so I can forward it to my Son and family so they can also place orders ? Thanks again for a fantastic experience ordering this !!
I am beyond pleased! This is now a family heirloom that will handed down to my son and then to his son. Thank you for making such a memorable and meaningful treasure.
