Neil is a highly skilled craftsman, in many fields of the engraver's art, but he is best known in the jewellery trade and amongst his own clients for his seal engraving on both gold and gemstone set signet rings. He achieves an astonishing amount of detail and quality in his work, using traditional tools and techniques. Each piece Neil creates is individually hand cut. 

The result is not simply a piece of jewellery, but an heirloom that will be treasured for generations.

Neil uses the time-honoured copper-wheel method of glass engraving, on only the finest British lead crystal glassware. The glass is held against a hand-made copper wheel tool in a lathe. The engraving is achieved by the action of a grinding agent, suspended in oil and applied to the wheel. As the glass is held and moved on the wheel, the grit cuts into the surface and with skilful manipulation of the glass and the correct wheel, this results in a beautiful three-dimensional fine textured design.

Neil Oliver is also able to take commission work on glass, specialising in heraldic crests and coats of arms. Just e-mail us or telephone with your ideas and contact details and Neil will be delighted to discuss your requirements with you personally.

We use 9 and 18-carat gold rings, ensuring not only the best possible finish when new but also that the ring will retain its good looks for a lifetime. The perfect canvas for your genuine hand-cut Neil Oliver seal. Note - some rings may be available in white gold or platinum, please check before making an order.

Our signet rings are available in these head sizes; we are happy to advise which might suit you best.
