Testimonials

On behalf of myself and Anna, I would like to thank you for the beautiful engagement ring that you crafted for us. The interaction on such a significant purchase has been made really pleasurable - from your initial help in advising me, through to making Anna feel really at ease with the choices she was making.

The final design is exquisite and has given us, plus our family and friends, a lot of joy. Many thanks.

Des & Anna


Having just got home with our wedding rings we picked up from you earlier today we just wanted to say a massive thanks, they are amazing! From start to finish the service you provided us was second to none and knowing our wedding rings have been made just the way we wanted them makes the service you provide that more personal and special.

I will be recommending you to family friends and I know where to come in the future! Thanks!

Terry & Caroline


We are writing to say thank you for the beautiful rings you crafted for our wedding. We wanted to choose rings which were very simple, but also personal to us. You advised us as to a number of styles, shapes, and materials, before we made our final choice.

The service which you provided us was made very personal. Even though our wedding was not to take place for three months, you still crafted our rings, complete with a personal engraving we requested, within two days.

We're very pleased to have accepted your advice not to have had diamonds within the wedding rings. The wedding rings you have crafted perfectly complement the engagement ring we chose, and sit perfectly in line with it. We are both delighted with the service you have provided, and will most certainly be recommending you to our family and friends.

I have to say that talking to Lewis he gave me good ideas and great value for money as well. I purchased a new diamond ring for my wife and earned a lot of brownie points with the great ring Lewis came back with. After seeing the result my son also purchased a ring for himself and again was very pleased with the result. I have no hesitation in recommending Lewis to my friends and work colleges at all. Thank you Lewis very much.

Lewis has made three pieces of jewellery for me - a necklace from some family stones I had, and my wedding bands. All are amazing – especially my husbands wedding band which is a mix of platinum and gold. I would (and do so constantly) recommend Lewis to anyone needing the services of an amazing jeweller.

Louise and Ben Hassett, Kent


My wife managed to distort her engagement ring and Lewis not only restored the ring to its correct shape but made it sparkle like new again! She is delighted to have it back in such fine condition. Her happiness = my happiness. Excellent work Lewis!

Re-setting a two stone diamond engagement ring seemed like a complicated and time consuming job, until we met Lewis Malka. We were looking for someone that was a) prepared to do a re-set, as not all jewellers will b) that we felt would truly retain the old fashioned style of the ring and yet re-make it in a more up-to-date setting and c) someone that we felt confident would deliver quality for a fair price and within the timescale required. Our lengthly search of trawling through the internet, making phone calls and visiting shops was getting us nowhere until we typed "re-set engagement rings" into Google. We came across an entry for Lewis.

Firstly, via his own website JosephSterling.com and secondly, via a one-stop wedding shop called Wedding Jigsaw which reaffirmed our initial positive thoughts we had when viewing Lewis's web site originally. We liked the fact that Lewis had started his career as an apprentice and had grown his own business. It made us feel secure that he was dedicated to his craft and had enough experience behind him to fulfil our wishes. Other than that, the only thing we had to go on was the design of his website and the pictures of his previous designs, both of which we liked very much.

Our initial discussions were based on two options. Either keeping both stones on the new ring or, split the stones up with one on the ring and the other on a pendant. The generous size of the stones and the bonus of having two pieces of jewellery rather than one was the deciding factor. Lewis was great to deal with. He was honest, fair and patient throughout the whole design process. He produced the most beautiful solitaire engagement ring and a stunning pendant to match. We were impressed with the quality of his craftsmanship and the speed in which he was able to carry out the work. It was a lovely surprise to be wearing the new jewellery weeks before we had anticipated. Thanks very much Lewis. We will be back!

After months of searching, I finally decided on the style of engagement ring I was looking for but did not know where to go from there. My fiance was recommended to talk to Lewis about designing the ring for us. The initial meeting went so well that Lewis ended up designing the engagement ring and both wedding bands for us too! He had them ready for us to collect after only 2 weeks. I was very nervous about going to pick up the rings as I had never seen my engagement ring "in the flesh" but I had no need to worry. It is beautiful and so are the wedding bands. I'd like to say thank you to Lewis for doing such a great job and it's wonderful to have met the person who has actually made my ring rather than having a mass produced one. Roll on the eternity ring!!

I chose Lewis to create my engagement ring after a great deal of research and several interviews with other jewellers. Having purchased a special and rare diamond at auction, I needed to find someone I could trust to create an equally special ring. I wanted to deal directly with the craftsman, instead of having my desires filtered through a salesman who simply would have added delay and cost to the process. I was looking for someone who was London based, so I could meet them face-to-face, was prepared to listen to what I wanted, provide guidance and advice but ultimately deliver what I wanted. I needed someone who had experience in high value commissions, and could supply the extra top quality diamonds and platinum mount that would make the ring a one of a kind. Finally, I needed someone who could provide a value-for-money service, and deliver the ring in time for our vacation. I chose Lewis and he met every one of my criterion and delivered an entirely stunning engagement ring. Naruschka absolutely loves it, and we get compliments on her ring every day. Thanks Lewis, we'll be back for the wedding ring!

Naruschka & Bill, London


I would like to say a huge thank you to Lewis for providing me with the most perfect engagement ring for my new Fiancee. From start to finish the service was excellent, and I could not ask for anything better. I went into see Lewis with my idea's and he helped me bring my idea's and thoughts to life. Sarah can only describe the ring as "the most Beautiful and Perfect ring imaginable". First class service by someone who is clearly proud of the work he does - and so he should be! I have and will recommend Lewis to all friends that in the near future may require a special, unique and customer friendly service.

Mark & Sarah, Essex


Thanks very much for crafting such a beautiful ring, Lewis. I met Lewis recently through an old school friend and was looking to buy an eternity ring for our first anniversary present. My wife had a specific idea in mind of what she wanted and Lewis was very(!) patient in understanding what we were looking for and then helped us shape the specifications to create the best piece possible within the budget, using his reassuring experience and expertise. We didn't have to wait long to receive the ring and when we did, it was even better than we had envisaged. My wife absolutely loves it and is now researching for some bespoke earrings to match! We'll be back soon!

Ian & Erica, London


I cannot thank you enough for making my engagement ring so beautifully and in such a short time too. It is absolutely stunning and I just can't stop looking at it! The band that you suggested looks really elegant with the oval shaped diamond. I really couldn't have hoped for anything so lovely. I hope you have taken a picture of it to show other people how pretty and sparkling an oval diamond can be when it is set like this! Thanks for all your help and advice in choosing the stone, I will happily recommend you to all my friends and family.

Samantha & Charles, London


Lewis is a highly accomplished networker who is great to know - whether your business is inside or outside the jewellery industry. He has a splendid eye for spotting opportunities for others. And he has the contacts and the drive to help make things happen. Lewis is also an entertaining speaker when dealing with groups large or small - and excellent company on any occasion.

Mike Dodd, Australia


Lewis has provided both Green Park Insurance Services and its clients with a level of service that is impeccable. He is reliable, trustworthy and discreet, very important given our client base. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lewis to clients, friends and colleagues.

Mike Nightingale, Green Park Insurance, London


I can highly recommend Lewis and Joseph Sterling - I needed to buy an eternity ring for my wife, and after a detailed consultation process, was given several options (and a brochure) for various budgets. After speaking with my wife and showing her the options she was delighted to choose a ring that matches her wedding ring. Happy wife - Happy life! Thanks again Lewis.

Richard & Nicky, London


Lewis is a gifted jeweller who understands what his clients want to achieve. He designs beautiful individual pieces of jewellery, he took a ring that my daughter inherited and designed a beautiful necklace, which she is delighted with. Lewis has worked with premier footballers and actors and has many grateful clients and lovely testimonials. If you need a piece of beautiful jewellery made you should get in touch with Lewis.

Shelley, NW London


Just a quick email to say a huge thank you for my stunning engagement ring. We were so excited when we came back from South Africa - where Alex proposed - with the diamonds for my ring and then got disheartened when we spoke to or met jewellers who either wouldn't set the stones at all or were less than enthusiastic about the unusual stones we had selected. Then luckily a friend of a friend recommended you and the whole process of the designing the ring was a delight. You were so patient, knew exactly when to give us some space to discuss the setting alone and were happy to see us again when I was having doubts. When we came to collect the ring we were a little nervous but there was no need as it was better than we could have ever imagined and we both absolutely love it (and all at an extremely reasonable price). I have had so many compliments on it and we are really looking forward to coming back to you for our wedding rings.

Viki & Alex


With very short notice, Lewis of Joseph Sterling was able to consult and gauge exactly what I needed to produce a high quality engagement ring according to my preferences and design ideas. Lewis kept me appraised throughout the process and, after the big day, was most happy to make the minor adjustments necessary to make the piece truly perfect. My now fiancee is thrilled and is proud to have something that has been handmade to such a high standard. I commend Lewis' work and professional approach to anyone looking to engage the services of a bespoke jeweller.

Josh & Alannah (Originally from Australia, now living in London)


Lewis was able to work to a tight deadline, given to him by my future fiancee, creating a very personally designed ring from a very rough initial brief. My now fiancee loves the ring and I was impressed by the personalized service that Lewis provided.

Richard and Liz, London


Lewis made an eternity ring for my wife; he understood straight away what sort of thing I was describing. The finished product was stunning and ready a week early. I would not hesitate to use Lewis again.

Lee & Gabi, London


We thought finding the perfect engagement ring was going to be a long, arduous and expensive task, but fortunately we were put in touch with Lewis and from that moment it seemed like everything was taken care of. We arranged an appointment and went down to Hatton Garden. My fiancee and I were informed about what choices we had in line with our budget and were guided through the process. Lewis made us feel completely at ease and no pressure was put on us to choose a particular diamond or style. Since we collected the ring, which was made in less than a week, I have not stopped smiling! Lewis assured me that if anything needed changing or altering, he would take care of it, but it is simply perfect! I just hope planning the wedding is as enjoyable and easy as finding the perfect ring! Many thanks Lewis.

Amy & John, North London


I was introduced to Lewis through a business colleague of mine and informed him of my budget and my requirements. Lewis appeared extremely professional, knowledgeable and genuinely interested in sourcing the best stone for me. The quality of the stone I was given from Lewis and the confidence and trust I had built up through our meeting enabled me to opt for Lewis over other competitors. My fiancée is thoroughly thrilled with the ring and it was worth every penny to see her receive so much happiness from the product. We appreciated Lewis changing the size at no extra cost. I would therefore recommend Lewis if you are looking to purchase a diamond of exceptional quality, cut and finish.

Mrinal & Priya, London


Jesse gave me my beautiful ring this morning and I had to get in touch with you to thank you. I absolutely love it, it is so beautiful and exactly what I wanted. As you know, Jesse and I have been engaged since November so it has been quite a long wait for my diamond but I can honestly say it was worth the wait. The ring is stunning, so unusual and I can’t stop looking at it (and showing everyone whether they are interested or not!!). It has certainly put a smile on my face. Thank you so much for your beautiful workmanship and the personal service that you gave us as well as making the effort to get the ring ready for our holiday next week.
Now I’m looking forward to choosing the wedding band!

Emily & Jesse, London


Buying an engagement ring is one of life's hugely significant events.
This is a piece of Jewellery she's going to be wearing for the rest of her life... you only get one chance and you have to get it right.
Lewis at Joseph Sterling was absolutely fantastic and really made the process much more enjoyable. Right from the start he taught me all about diamonds, how they are graded and what I should be looking for. He helped me choose the perfect centre stone, and then was able to create a ring to my exact, individual specification. It was perfect... my Fiancée - as she is now – broke down in tears when she saw the ring... it is everything she ever dreamed of and more. I couldn't be happier with the ring and my choice of jeweller, I would thoroughly recommend Joseph Sterling for anyone thinking of proposing!

Phil, New York


Lewis did an absolutely incredible job with our wedding rings. Adam, my Fiancée, does not usually wear a ring and was feeling a bit unsure about the whole thing. But Lewis was amazing at explaining all the different types of metals and advising on depth, width and style. The ring that Lewis made for me is so stunning. He advised that I should get the same metal, depth and width so that it would fit perfectly with my engagement ring. They really do look stunning together. And the fact that we met Lewis on the Tuesday night, advised Lewis what we wanted on the Wednesday night and collected the rings at lunch on Thursday was very impressive indeed.
Thank you! We love the rings and cannot wait to start wearing them!

Laura & Adam, Middlesex


Lewis made my engagement ring and both our wedding bands and they are all absolutely perfect. The pride he takes in his job can be seen in quality of stones he sells and jewellery he makes. Lewis is a pleasure to deal with who makes the process smooth and enjoyable.

Nicola & James, Newcastle


It was truly delightful to have such time and attention paid to the our engagement ring. As something that will stay with us forever it meant a lot that we received a great service with a real personal touch. The fact that we receive an ongoing after service is also reassuring. Definitely something we will be recommending to our friends. Thanks again.

Greg and Ailsa, London


The ring was beyond not just my, but her expectations as well. Joseph Sterling provided great advice from start to finish on the tricky areas of buying a diamond weren’t pushy at all and produced a superb ring in a matter of days. Thus far they’ve been recommended to 3 of my friends, one of who has already contacted them. I’m going back for our wedding bands; thus there can be no higher praise than a return visit. Thanks very much to Lewis and Joseph Sterling for a great buying and designing experience, plus a nice bottle to toast our engagement.

Dean, London


You'll be happy to hear that I proposed to my girlfriend with the ring you helped me design and then created for her. And she has accepted! She is delighted with the ring, which was a total surprise but is more than she ever dreamed of! You wonderfully guided me through the process of realising the design I envisaged and of selecting the ideal yellow diamond. The result is stunning. I didn't want to write to you until I had made the proposal and got the right answer - so please excuse the wait. Thank you so much and we'll be in touch with you next year for the wedding bands!

Paul, London


My husband hasn’t worn a ring since the day we were married, and that was 12 years ago! Using your advice we created the perfect ring in just one day, so that my husband could have it the next. Thank you for all your help, he loves his new ring, I’m glad we made the right decision.

Sejal, London


I have just received the ring this morning and it is even better than I could have ever imagined - thank you so very much for your advice and help throughout the process of buying this ring.
Thanks again for everything,

Ruth, London


I just wanted to thank everyone involved in the creation of the two matching diamond rings that I collected yesterday. I really appreciate the effort in getting them ready in time. Yesterday was my birthday, which gave me the perfect opportunity to propose to my partner without raising any suspicion as to why the day was going to be so special.
Gladly, he accepted and loves the rings (as do I). This means I will be requiring your services again in the not too distant future for the wedding rings! Please pass on my thanks to everyone who helped make yesterday evening such a special one.

Tony, London


We started off doing what everyone else does - trawling the High Street jewellers searching for the perfect wedding rings! We found what we wanted, but the prices were astronomical. While surfing the net, we came across Joseph-Sterling.com and were with your value for money. Just a half an hour after we’d come into your office, you saved us half of the High Street price! Two weeks later our beautiful platinum & diamond engagement ring arrived – exactly what we wanted and perfect in every detail! We can’t thank you enough.

Jeremy and Sara, Israel


I walked in over four years now and haven’t looked back since. I find the staff professional, honest and trustworthy. I was looking for a special piece (of jewellery) to commemorate my daughter’s birth and needed an aquamarine and diamond ring. Lewis was patient with me while we came up with the perfect choice, giving me all of the information and time to make my decisions. The prices he quoted were far better than the high street and I knew that I would receive far better quality. His speed, quality and excellent customer service never ceases to amaze me. He is truly an excellent craftsman.

Natalie, London


Thank you very much for all your help and support through this very stressful purchase. I just received the ring this morning and it’s exactly as I imagined it would be. Best wishes for the future.

Katrin & Ray, Jerusalem


I would like to say how rare it is to find a jeweller who is both honest and professional and whose expertise is second to none. Since meeting Lewis Malka many years ago through family, I have found him quite refreshing with his enthusiasm towards jewellery and towards making the customer feel extremely welcome and not pressured into making a decision. Lewis was able to take my ideas and drawings and turn them into the dream jewellery I have always wanted. His attention to detail is like no other I have ever experienced. His personality really shines in his work. Thank you for always being quick with a joke and a smile.

Helen & Zeffy, London


I wanted to thank you sincerely for all your help and advice you gave in selecting our wedding rings. My ring is gorgeous and I cannot wait to wear it officially on 1st December. Vas is delighted with his too, and for once I approve of his choice! The idea of resetting the diamond from my original ring was a fantastic idea and I will look forward to wearing that on our wedding day too. I have no hesitation in recommending your services to friends, family and colleagues.

Alison & Vas, London


I first heard of Joseph Sterling from a silversmith, when I wanted some alterations made to a broach, who said “I really trust their work”. I fully endorse this statement. Joseph Sterling are fine craftsmen. As well as alterations and repairs, they recycled the stones from two of my rings into a unique and beautiful creation in just two days. Their skills are backed up with an impressive fund of knowledge about ALL gems, although clearly they will tell you how they prefer to work with diamonds. Joseph Sterling are warm natured, have a gentle sense of humour and are always a pleasure to do business with.

Jane, London


After searching for some time for the perfect engagement ring we were referred to Lewis Malka (Joseph Sterling) who found us a fantastic diamond at an extremely competitive price. This was then put in a bespoke Platinum setting based on a design we provided and we could not be happier with the result. The ring is perfect, the price was excellent and the overall service superb.

Ed and Adele, London


Thanks you so much for your help resetting my engagement ring. When my diamond stone became loose for the second time in two years, I knew I was going to have to get it reset. Thank you for a) putting me at ease with respect to leaving my ring in your care b) helping me find a very similar setting that made the ring slightly more sturdy and c) resetting it beautifully and quickly so I got it back as soon as possible. Thanks again.
