I was in your shoes a couple of months ago, and now, looking back, I can confidently say my experience with Michael was truly exceptional, fun, and stress-free. To preface, I admit I am a type A personality through and through. I'm sure at times during my journey with Michael, I was a little onerous; however, he handled every scenario with ease. Michael was very responsive and excellent with communicating from the start. I never felt in the dark. He assured me that everything was being taken care of, and, in the end, I was able to enjoy the process. At every step of the way, I felt valued, heard, and taken care of. I am extremely grateful that my sister randomly stumbled upon this business' IG when I was looking for a jeweler that felt like the right fit. He and his team have created an atmosphere not like any other business of their kind. And thank goodness for that. They are actually lively, filled with personality, and accommodating. No matter if your budget is more modest or extravagant, Michael will go above and beyond to make sure you are 110% happy with your purchase. A little bit about my story- I wasn't sure what diamond shape I wanted when I first emailed Michael. He responded back that it was no problem and during my first appointment, he actually brought a varied selection of 20+ diamonds to view. He was patient and pointed out different characteristics of each shape. He was knowledgeable but not imposing. A true professional and you can tell he is a Certified Gemologist. Thank you again to Michael for everything you have done! I am excited to create custom wedding bands with you in a few months :)

Most recently I got to work with Edward on a special, unique purchase. Thankfully through the use of technology, social media, and a long history of trusting Stuart Kingston, I was able to buy the ring of my dreams. Edward walked/talked me and my mom (she in Delaware and I in Boston) through the purchase of a spectacular ring that I first saw on their Instagram page! Living in Boston (with an ongoing global pandemic) it was not exactly easy to pop down to Delaware and try on the ring. That's where Edward and Jimmy are so great. My mom was able to stop by, see the ring in person while on FaceTime with me, while Edward educated me about the stone and it's history. In less than 24 hours the ring was mine! A few weeks later it had been sized, delivered, and was on my finger. Knowing Edward and trusting in Stuart Kingston, made buying my ring (literally unseen in person) an amazing and exciting experience. We couldn't be happier with our purchase and we are so thankful to have had the expertise and accommodations offered by Stuart Kingston.

A small diamond on my wife's wedding band fell out after 2 years of owning it. Not a huge deal, it's whatever. We have had it for 2 years and it's small. Was willing to get it replaced. So she brought the ring in, and somebody took a look at it and said NOOO problem!!! we will replace the diamond for free, and we will ensure the setting isn't loose (turned out it was). So we got the ring back, and not even ONE WEEK LATER! the same diamond fell out while we were at a wedding overseas. One week. So my wife brought it back in to say wtf, you guys "fixed it" but then the same issue happened. You'd think we wouldn't have to pay for it, since they obviously didn't fix the setting. Turns out they want to charge us $100. Whatever. When my wife went to go back after another week of waiting for it to be fixed, they shut the door on her as they were closing and said sorry, everything's locked up. You're a mom and pop shop, not a chain jeweler. You'd think you'd put the customer first and just stay open another 5 minutes to help somebody else. Worst part of it all: the lady said "oh you should have called when it fell out! we probably would have replaced it for free" as she is swiping the credit card. WHAT?! We are telling you now!!! after THOUSANDS and thousands of dollars spent here, no way I am ever stepping foot in there again. For those reasons, I'm out.

I found John when searching for a jeweler who does custom engagement rings. I knew I had found the right person the first time we met. Besides being experienced in the art of making amazing jewelry the way John works with people made the process very easy. The first thing he did was ask about me and my (now fiancée), to learn about our personalities, the things she liked and her style of dress. This played a big role in the way we approached the ring and the results turned out great. Not having purchased a lot of jewelry in the past, there was a lot I needed to know about styles, metals, diamonds, etc. John is very knowledgeable and explained the pros and cons of each decision very well. Talking with him was easier than researching online because he could answer the questions I didn't know to ask. Any research I did online later backed up everything he said which gave me a lot of confidence. For me the, the technical aspect of seeing how a custom ring was made was a thrill too. We were able to try lots of ideas very quickly in CAD and when we were ready he had a prototype made so we could see and handle it. The final design was 3D printed before being cast in into metal which was also really cool. Working with John was a pleasure. He has experience and knowledge as well as a personality that made the process very easy and low-pressure. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

I went to John to design an engagement ring for my (now) Wife. He was a lot of fun to work with from the get go. He sat me down at his computer and we thought out all the ideas we had for a ring, and came up with a pretty unique design. I really felt like it had some of my ideas in it, while looking really beautiful and professionally designed. The quality of the ring really exceeded my expectation, and everyone who's seen it thinks I paid a great deal more than I did (which never hurts for points from the in-laws). John worked within my schedule, was responsive to new ideas and changes, and even picked up a second shipment of diamonds when I wanted to see more options. My wife and I made sure to come back when we needed wedding rings, and I'll definitely go back again when I need a really great birthday or Christmas gift. All in all, there really is nothing like giving a girl a ring that you helped design yourself, makes everything feel much more personal, and John makes sense that your ideas result in a fantastic looking ring. He even guessed my wife's ring size just by looking at her hands, and has already polished it more than once for free. I can easily say I'd recommend John Cattermole, I've already recommended him to all my friends. read more

I asked John to make a custom pair of earrings to match my wife's wedding band. Since I live a few hours a way, I sent him some photos of the ring and rough sketch of what I had in mind for the earrings. John sent back some renderings, with suggestions on how to make them stronger and better balanced, and got the final earrings a week later (before Christmas as promised). I had two concerns going into it: 1. The ring is sort of rustic in style, handmade with some intentional imperfection. I wanted the earrings to be the same, but I didn't see anything that really looked like what I was going for in the gallery. Nevertheless, John matched the style perfectly and suggested a finish that gave them an appropriate patina. 2. I had no idea where the price would come in - I wanted white gold, and 6 small diamonds. The price ended up being super fair for custom jewelry where you're dealing directly with the designer/artist. He easily could've charged me more. I'd work with John again. It seems like a small shop, but he runs it like a pro. Don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions, and expect questions from him to get at exactly what you want. read more

I was referred to John through a friend while getting ready to propose to my (now) wife, and was so glad I pursued his services. Going into our first meeting I didn't know what to expect, but each and every step of the way John was extremely helpful and informative. John made the process of designing a custom engagement ring easy, taking the time to get to know my wife through me and helping me develop a ring that she absolutely loves. There is nothing like giving your future wife a ring you took the time and effort to design, and John helps make it fun and easy. My wife and I then had a great time designing her wedding ring together. On top of John being a skilled and talented jeweler, he is also a great guy and someone I would call a friend. He really makes the process fun and goes above and beyond to ensure he is delivering a top quality product. I would highly recommend him to any guy looking to design an amazing ring for his future bride, or a person looking for a beautiful piece of custom jewelry. read more

John is an amazing artist and no pressure salesman. I found him four years ago when I had developed an engagement ring idea. I sent him so rough drawings I made and he replicated every detail I wanted in the perfect one of a kind ring. He didn't try to force high price metals or stones he gave me recommendations on which stones would better hold up to the placement I had chosen on the ring ( there are stones all the way around the ring and they are not just diamonds). I meet with him twice in his office and the day I picked up the ring he meet me 40 min away from his office to get it to me. Johns prices are also hard to beat, your woman will never have to worry about anyone else having the same piece and your personal touch in the design will always remind her of the place she holds in your heart. I have never had such a great experience. John puts his art first and you will not be disappointed in his work. Will definitely use John again for any jewelry needs in the future. read more

John worked with my (now) husband to make a gorgeous engagement ring using some very sentimental family stones. Then I got to work with him to design a custom wedding band that fits the unique shape of my ring. He worked with both of us to make pieces exactly like we wanted, and both include personal touches with our initials and wedding date cut out of the side of each ring. It's beautiful, high quality, and I can't even begin to count how many compliments constantly I get on them. I had some problems with one of the stones due to it's age, but John worked with us to get it fixed quickly, and at no cost to us. John is very talented and extremely creative. He will help you create a one of a kind, beautiful, custom piece of jewelry. I have, and will continue to, recommend him to all of my friends and family. read more

I was looking for a jeweler to work with in designing wedding bands. I was looking e to incorporate gems from my grandmothers wedding ring, some unique styling to the bands, and a creative energy in my designer. After our first meeting with John, we knew he was the man for the job. He was so easy to work with and brings a terrific quality to how he pursues work and ultimately executes it. John worked with us, incorporating our thoughts, but brought his vision/ideas to the table as well. The collaboration expanded out thoughts of where we could go with the jewelry. The bands are exactly what we wanted them to be. I certainly would work with John again -- on everyday jewelry -- no plans for more wedding bands. read more

I guess the best way to plug John's work is to say that I've already referred probably a dozen people to him for their jewelry needs of all types. From everything including custom engagement and wedding bands (which he did for me), as well as simple cleanings and remaking a friend's ring in platinum, John does phenomenal work and to boot he's got quite the personality to make your experience personable and enjoyable. You won't regret going with John. His prices are very competitive and he truly wants to help meet all your needs. I'll never see another jeweler. read more

I love the cross pendant John designed for me. While on a cruise vacation I was able to buy four beautiful emerald stones in Colombia in South America. He purchased another, larger stone for the center and created a wonderful setting. The basic design was his, but he asked for and respected my input at every step. Now I have a lovely souvenir of my vacation which I plan to pass on to my granddaughter, whose birthday gem happens to be the emerald. read more
