About

Built on the Work, Not the Address

Rachel Boston has a shop and showroom at 59 Redchurch Street in Shoreditch. The shop takes walk-ins for her fine jewellery, while engagement rings and wedding bands are shown only in the showroom, by appointment. Alongside bespoke commissions she makes her own engagement ring designs to order, with natural and lab-grown diamonds as well as coloured gemstones.

Bespoke engagement rings start from £7,000 and take twelve to fourteen weeks; her own designs with small adjustments start from £5,000.

Coloured stones are a particular strength. Rachel Boston works with sapphires and other coloured gemstones as centre stones, alongside diamonds.

What reviewers say
182Reviews analysed
180Five star
10Years of reviews

Rachel Boston’s 182 Google reviews contain not a single one below four stars, across nearly ten years. 47 reviewers describe the bespoke design process, easily the strongest theme; 14 report the partner loving the ring and 8 that it exceeded expectations.

It is the review profile of a design-led studio: fewer reviews, longer ones, written by people describing a commission rather than a purchase.

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.

I cannot thank Rachel enough for the incredible assistance and professionalism that she gave throughout the entire process of designing THE most incredible, bespoke engagement ring for me. Rachel was so patient with me during the design phase, where I know that I was being very pedantic over the smallest of details.”
Liam Brown · August 2019 · On Google
Rachel is truly brilliant to work with. In our first session she took time to understand what I wanted. She took time to understand my partner, her needs and her style and outlook. She really listened and in the sketch drawings came up with a number of variations and options.”

Who this suits

The Right Buyer for Rachel Boston

Rachel Boston is the right choice for buyers who want something personal and colourful, or who want a bespoke ring with genuine aesthetic consideration behind it rather than a custom version of a standard design. She is particularly well-suited to buyers whose partner has an interest in coloured gemstones, whether sapphires or other stones, and who want a jeweller who will bring real expertise and creative investment to working with those materials.

Engagement rings are seen by appointment only, so this is not the place to browse rings on the day, and the bespoke process takes time and commitment. For buyers who are ready for that, the results consistently justify the approach.
