TL;DR: Irish buyers can commission a bespoke engagement ring from us entirely by video consultation and message. Ireland is close to the UK, so time differences are minor. The customer pays import duty and tax, and since rules differ and change, we explain what to expect in writing before you order. Delivery is insured and tracked with FedEx. Pieces start from £600.
Close to home
The UK and Ireland share a time zone, so calls are easy to arrange. You can talk to us in the evening, see renders on your phone and decide at your own pace.
How the process works
- Tell us what you have in mind.
- We suggest stones, shapes and settings and explain the options.
- We send sketches and a CAD render. You can ask for changes.
- You approve the design in writing. See how written approval works.
- We make the ring and send it with insured, tracked delivery.
Choosing the stone from a distance
You do not need to travel to choose a stone. We show options on video, explain the reports and talk through how cut, colour, clarity and size affect the look and the price. Natural and lab grown diamonds and coloured gemstones are all available, and we label each clearly. Browse diamonds to get a feel for what is possible.
Tax and duty on arrival
The customer pays import duty and tax, and rules between the UK and the EU differ from those within the UK. We are jewellers, not tax advisers, so check current guidance, and we explain what to expect in writing. Our guide to ten questions international customers ask covers the basics, and our guide to Ireland VAT and customs after Brexit goes further.
Delivery to Ireland
Delivery is insured and tracked with FedEx, and you can follow the parcel online. Plan for the making time and delivery together, and allow a little extra if you have a proposal date in mind. Our guide to shipping a UK ring to Ireland covers the practical side.
Paying from abroad
Prices are shown in pounds, so the cost in euro changes with exchange rates. Ask us which currency your invoice will be in. We explain payment options in writing before you order. See our guide to paying a deposit safely online.
Irish tastes and traditions
Many Irish couples like designs that nod to heritage, such as a Celtic inspired band, a Claddagh detail or a meaningful engraving. We can talk through ideas and design something that is personal to you. See Claddagh rings: meaning and how to wear one.
Ring size
Our guide to finding a partner's ring size helps. Sizes in the UK and Ireland are generally given in letters, and we can check measurements by video. Because the rules and sizes can differ between shops, we always confirm the size in writing before making.
Surprise and privacy
If the ring is for a proposal, think about who might see the parcel. Our guide to ordering a surprise ring secretly offers practical ideas, such as delivery to a workplace or a friend.
After you receive it
We explain aftercare in writing, and you can ask us about the terms that apply to your ring at any time. Our guide to ring care by season offers habits for the year.
