Dear Neil,
Thank you so much for the rings, they really are beautiful. It is exquisite work!
They are perfect.
Susie wanted me to forward you a few words of gratitude from her also... I certainly share her sentiment!
Dear Neil,
I don't know where to begin to tell you how wonderfully happy we are with the rings! Such beautiful things! Exactly how we imagined, and more. We cannot thank you enough for making us something so unique and beautiful, the perfect mirror of our unique love and individuality! We are very happy indeed.
It goes perfectly with my engagement ring as well, the perfect height, the perfect size, this couldn't have turned out any better! We will be proudly wearing them for the rest of our lives and will be telling the tale of your talent to our children and grandchildren!
Thank you ever so much,
Susie
Thank you once again. We are thrilled!

Dear Neil,
You have been dealing with my colleagues recently to do with the amethyst signet ring that you very kindly engraved for us. I would just like you to know hoe appreciative we all were of your efforts on our behalf; it was exceptionally decent of you as you do not know us well.
I understand the Bishop was delighted with the result as were we.
Very best wishes,
J V, Surrey 2014
Hi Kim,
I just wanted to say that I have received my signet ring and that the engraving is exquisite.
Many thanks

Dear Kim,
Henry’s signet ring arrived safely on Saturday morning and we are truly delighted with it. It looks, and feels, absolutely great – many thanks indeed to you both for the time and care you took to make sure we were happy with everything. Together with the seal and certificate it makes a wonderful commemoration for Henry’s 21st Birthday and we hope he will enjoy wearing it for many years to come and maybe one day give it to his own son.
On Saturday we are heading for Islay, where Henry is currently staying with his godfather. His birthday is on 1st September so shortly after that I will let you know about the size – there will be no doubt about his reaction to the ring! With luck it will fit perfectly – if not we will let you know and discuss any adjustments needed.
With kind regards.

Dear Neil,
I just wanted to thank you so much for the superb job you did with the Ostrich seal engraving, for my son. He is absolutely thrilled with it, the ring was a gift at Christmas, and the engraving was being done for graduation, which he successfully passed with flying colours!
Thank you again,
Kind regards

I am grateful to you for making the signet ring for which I asked – it arrived safely at the end of last week. It is as nearly a replica of the original as one could hope for and I am very pleased. I shall make sure I don’t throw this one away!
With best wishes and thanks

Dear Neil and Kim
Just to tell you that my fiancé Dan opened his cufflinks last night and he is absolutely over the moon with them! He really thinks they are just beautiful and so artistically carved and I know he is going to love them forever.
Thank you for creating two such beautiful and special things for us both, marking a very important moment in our lives.
With my very best wishes and I hope to be in touch sometime in the future to ask for more wonderful things to be made. You really are so talented at your work!

The ring has arrived-perfect timing too-as we were having a birthday lunch without presents the postman arrived. It's beautiful, she's delighted, we're immensely grateful!
Very many thanks indeed.
Best regards,

Dear Neil / Kim,
Received yesterday the postal parcel, I am quite satisfied with the whole set of the signet ring including the ring, the wax impression and your certificate. They are very nice and traditionally made.
The casted ring body is especially different with the others.
Hope to plan my next order with you in the near future.

There are craftsmen that are great technicians but their work has no soul; Then there are craftsmen who are also artists and take their skills to a higher dimension. Neil is one of these very rare people. I hold him in the highest esteem and consider him to be one of Britain’s finest engravers.

The engraved glasses are a real treat and I am absolutely delighted with them- I haven’t had such glamorous glass since my “New England” goblets in 1941! Three cheers for the Olivers, happy 2005.

My son is delighted with the ring and will, I hope, look after it well. It is a wonderful piece of craftsmanship.
