About

Modern Rings From a Working Goldsmiths

McCaul Goldsmiths are Irish goldsmiths established in 2009, working from Exmouth Market in Clerkenwell with a second workshop in Dublin, and over half the output is custom commissions. The design language is genuinely contemporary: named collections like Arris and Mobius, grey and cognac diamonds alongside white, and a Fairtrade gold line.

Google shows 106 reviews, and every one of them is five star, across more than twelve years. Three arrived in the past twelve months, the pace of a commission workshop rather than a shopfront.

A dozen reviewers describe commissions handled remotely or from overseas, and the firm ships worldwide free, so the reach is wider than the Exmouth Market frontage suggests.

Contemporary goldsmiths with half the order book bespoke, and twelve years without a review below five stars.

What reviewers say
106Reviews analysed
106Five star
13Years of reviews

The bespoke and design process leads with 19 mentions, and twelve reviewers describe commissions handled remotely or from overseas, which is unusually high and speaks to how well the studio runs a distance commission. Seven mention patience with questions and six depth of knowledge.

Nothing sits below five stars in more than twelve years.

For scale: that record sits in the top 1 per cent for the share of reviews at four stars or better. In plain terms, you should be in safe hands here.

We commissioned bespoke wedding rings from McCaul's recently, and were so impressed by the designs, the service and the professionalism of everyone we dealt with. We were looking for unusual rings that complemented each other, and the team seemed to understand very quickly the sort of thing we were looking for and suggested designs that we loved.”

We just collected my engagement ring, and tried on our wedding rings before they finish them, which all interlock together! Amazing to shake the hands of the men that put their hearts, precision and craftsmanship into designing and crafting our beautiful bespoke rings!”

Who this suits

The Right Buyer for McCaul Goldsmiths

This suits a buyer whose taste runs modern: sculptural settings, grey or cognac stones, a ring that does not look like the quarter’s window rows. The Fairtrade gold option matters to some buyers and almost nobody else offers it as directly.

It also suits remote commissioners, on the evidence. Appointments only, Tuesday to Saturday, and Exmouth Market makes the trip worth lunch.

The evidence behind this guide

This is the only place online that ranks London's engagement ring jewellers on review evidence. I screened 1,120 London businesses, verified 305 as genuine engagement ring jewellers, and re-crawl their Google reviews every month, 57,304 reviews at the last count. Every listing is checked for district, walk-in access, natural or lab-grown stones and opening hours before it appears. The method is published in full on the Top 100, and rankings cannot be bought: editorial policy.
