About Taylor & Hart

A couple with a bespoke Taylor & Hart ring

Taylor & Hart (occasionally stylized as “Taylor and Hart”) is a British bespoke jewelry brand founded in 2013 by two friends.

The story of how the brand came about is a sweet one. A friend of the founders wanted to create an original ring for his girlfriend, and the founders made it a reality. In the process, they created their very first Taylor & Hart ring.

Since then, the brand has continued to grow. It now boasts customers from all over the world and showrooms in London, New York, and Johannesburg.

What’s the brand known for?

“Designed by you, crafted by us”

This quote from Taylor & Hart’s website sums up what the brand is all about.

Taylor & Hart is known for helping bring customers’ one-of-a-kind ring designs to life.

Unlike traditional stores that usually sell mass-produced engagement and wedding rings off the shelf, Taylor & Hart creates bespoke rings from scratch unique to each customer.

Customers are paired with a personal design consultant who will guide them through every step of the design process, from discussing ideas to answering any questions.

As Taylor & Hart explains, “You bring the inspiration and invaluable input. We bring the expertise and access to the world’s finest ethically sourced materials.”

If you're located in one of the three cities with a Taylor & Hart showroom, you can schedule an appointment to meet with a design consultant in person.

Alternatively, you can schedule a virtual consultation with one of their design consultants.

Why do people shop at Taylor & Hart?

One of the main reasons people are drawn to Taylor & Hart is the brand’s highly-personalized and professional approach to jewelry design.

When people buy a ring from Taylor & Hart, they know they’re getting a unique opportunity to work one-on-one with jewelry experts to create the ring of their dreams.

The process is sold as being stress-free and enjoyable for the customers to be a part of, a massive drawcard for anyone who appreciates a high level of customer service.

How is the brand’s quality?

The quality of Taylor & Hart rings is nothing short of impeccable.

For starters, the brand exclusively uses the “world’s finest ethically sourced materials” to make their rings.

Taylor & Hart offers platinum, 18-karat white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold for metals. While sterling silver is a precious metal, it’s not an option with this brand.

What’s more, each ring’s design is spearheaded by a highly-experienced design consultant and hand finished in the brand’s London workshop by their team of craftspeople.

It’s also worth noting that the brand counts Gemological Institute of America (GIA) gemologists among its team of designers.

Taylor & Hart stands by their promise of exceptional quality by offering their customers a 90-day satisfaction guarantee as well as a lifetime manufacturer warranty on all rings.

But perhaps the best indicator of the brand’s quality is its glowing customer reviews.

Case in point: the company’s super high Trustpilot rating. The brand has an overall TrustScore of 4.9 out of 5, based on 449 customer reviews.

Of those customers, 95% rated the brand excellent, while a further 3% rated the brand great. In the reviews found on Trustpilot, numerous customers mention the rings’ outstanding and top quality and highlight that the quality to cost ratio is unmatched by other jewelry retailers.

The “Customer Love Stories” published on Taylor & Hart’s blog also provide a good indication of how pleased customers have been with the brand’s quality.

While the main focus of these interview-style articles is on each customer’s relationship with their significant other, they also share their fiancée’s thoughts as well as their own thoughts on their Taylor & Hart creation.

The customers’ common feedback in these articles centers around the rings’ quality and beauty, their fiancée’s positive reaction to seeing their ring, and the general ease of the design and creation process.

What’s the verdict?

If you dream of creating a one-of-a-kind custom engagement ring, Taylor & Hart is without a doubt worth considering. The brand offers excellent craftsmanship, highly-personalized service, and a strong reputation for creating stunning bespoke engagement rings.

However, Taylor & Hart’s prices may set you back.

Each ring’s cost is ultimately dependent on a range of factors, including the diamond's carat weight, shape, cut, color, and clarity, in addition to the metal and finishing touches (such as engraving).

But generally speaking, their collection of engagement rings starts at around $970 (set with a 0.3ct emerald-cut center diamond), and their bespoke engagement rings begin at approximately $1,500 (with a similar-sized diamond or colored gemstone).

As they note on their website, the average spend on engagement rings for their US customers in 2018 was $5,563.

So while the brand’s rings are certainly not as expensive as those from designer brands (like Tiffany’s) or even other bespoke ring brands, Taylor & Hart’s rings are likely to exceed many people’s budgets.

What should you do if Taylor & Hart’s rings are out of your price range but you still want to treat your fiancée to a stunning engagement, wedding, or “just because” ring? Consider buying a Blush and Bar ring instead.
