Ben was a pleasure to deal with. I admit it was a gamble finding someone just off Google but after looking at his socials I took the plunge and ordered a custom wedding ring from him. I had a vision of what I wanted and Ben delivered and some! A custom titanium ring with sand special to us and crushed opal. The ring is absolutely stunning and great communication at a really good price.

I can’t speak highly enough of Ben and his incredible craftsmanship. I reached out to him just a few weeks before our wedding, hoping he might be able to create a surprise sand ring for my husband. To my delight, he responded quickly and was more than happy to take on the project, even with the short notice.
The ring he created is absolutely stunning, beautifully crafted with exceptional attention to detail, and it holds such special meaning for us.
Ben’s customer service is second to none. He was friendly, responsive, and genuinely cared about getting everything just right.

Have bought both rings and a beautiful necklace from Ben. They are such lovely quality and Ben always provides great customer service. Would highly recommend.
About me
I'm Ben Perkins, a blacksmith and jeweller making handmade pieces in Cornwall and Guildford. I started blacksmithing in 2018 and took up jewellery making in 2020, and since then I've made over 1,000 pieces for customers around the world.
Today I specialise in custom sand rings, ash and memorial rings, wedding rings and silver necklaces, alongside hand forged gifts made in my forge. Every piece is made to order, and many hold a story: sand from a special beach, the ashes of a loved one, or a design you've always imagined. I'd love to help bring yours to life.
