All About Eve

Many clients on walking into one of stores comment on the lovely fragrant smell which greets them as they walk in. Unlike stores like Urban Outfitters where there signature smell hits you like a brick wall as you walk in stifling and over powering your sense, our signature smell is subtle and natural. We spent many months trying out different candles and diffusers from UK based companies trying to find one that complimented our store and our image. And finally we found one .... Herb Garden by All About Eve At Home. 

We burn the candles for a couple of hours a day in both of our stores giving them a subtle, natural and inviting smell. We even stock the candles in our stores and since doing this they have become a best seller (along with our jewellery of course!)

The scent was custom made by the owner of All About Eve at Home, Melanie, who after spending 20years in the retail business as a buyer for Harrods and The White Company, decided to open up her own store in Old Amersham, Buckinghamshire. 

Why not pop in and smell for yourself the beautiful scent of Herb Garden

Dazzle Rings

Taking inspiration from the opulent dazzling rings that celebrities and royalty alike have been showcasing recently Dominic Walmsley Jewellery have been busy designing stunning one-off commissions for our clientele. 


When designing and hand making a dazzling diamond ring it is important to get the proportions right whilst maintaining the feel and look that the customer desires. We pride ourselves on our ability to make people's jewellery dreams come true, one way we do this is by having a fitting stage. No one wants to see a flat design on a piece of paper, choose their stones and then suddenly be presented with a finished design that looks nothing like what they expected. It is for this reason that we make sure that with any commission we have a fitting stage, this way our clients can see the work in progress try the item on etc and we can make any necessary changes, we make sure our customers have as many fittings as they need and we constantly discuss the design and what they envision to make sure that they are 100% happy with the end result. 

This unusual engagement ring was a recent commission made by us.  The customers wanted the sparkle of diamonds but yet something a little different. The center stone is the much ignored stone of Smokey Quartz, surrounded by diamonds and set in 18ct yellow gold this ring proves that diamonds aren't a girls only best friend!

This dazzle ring was made from a customers existing jewellery. She had  old unworn jewellery that she never wore and was just sitting in a drawer, so with Dominic she designed a stunning dress ring. This ring features a sparkling Citrine as its central stone and is framed by ice white diamonds.

Ask the expert - Dominic Walmsley

Couples often ask us about our wedding bands and when we got the opportunity to participate in 'Ask the Expert' we jumped at the chance to answer the questions that are on everyone's mind. Here are the questions and answers: 

1)What are the main things brides and grooms-to-be should consider when choosing their wedding rings? E.g. material options (complement other jewellery/personal style)

complementing the engagement ring (why and how?)

Whether you choose a simple band or an elaborate design, the most important thing is that it is in proportion to your engagement ring or, in the groom’s case, to his hand. Your engagement ring is the star of your hand and the wedding ring should compliment it. I give my customers the benefit of my 20 years experience of fitting and designing wedding rings.

With regards to metals there is now a new precious metal to choose from, palladium. It is whiter than White gold, has all of the benefits of platinum but is much cheaper. I highly recommend it to couples who want the appearance of platinum but don’t have deep enough pockets for platinum.

2) How can couples make their rings personal?

e.g. Engravings / any individual touches

”The Heartbeat Ring”

Gone are the days when the groom bought a flimsy washer type ring from Ratners. With all of the expense and thought that modern brides put into their wedding day, something more special is required. We have specialised in creating bespoke, personal wedding rings.

Our most popular ring is the “Fingerprint ring” on which we engrave the exact print of your partner’s finger onto the beautiful solid bespoke band. Some may just prefer their names engraved inside with a “with love” but our “Sonnet” ring has a romantic line from a Shakespearean sonnet engraved around the outside, “shall I compare the to a summer’s day......”  With the skills of our award winning master engravers we can make your wedding ring as individual as your wedding is and our newest design could not be more personal. The “Heartbeat Ring” is hand-engraved with your loved ones heartbeat. It will certainly be a talking point for many years.

3) Can couples design their rings themselves with a jeweller? What is the process for doing this? How long should couples allow for the rings to be produced?

This is much more possible now than it used to be. However, the most important thing is to speak to the jeweller who is going to carry out the work or you may find your design changes when interpreted by the jeweller doing the work. I would ask the jeweller to show you the designs at a halfway stage so you can make any adjustments needed to the design before it is finished. I would allow 3-6 weeks for the rings to be made but I would make sure you think about your wedding rings at least 3-6 months in advance.

When I work with couples to design their wedding rings I always sit down with them and start to sketch ideas as we talk, so that I can get their immediate feedback of what they like/dislike. Once we all feel that I understand exactly what they want I make the rings up in silver for the fitting stage. I do this because it is easier to make changes to the design when the rings are in silver, than if they were made up in their chosen metals. Once the clients are 100% happy with the look, feel and design of their rings I make them up in their chosen precious metal.

4) Have you noticed any trends in the popularity of wedding ring designs – for men and women?

I think the biggest change in trends of wedding rings over the past five years is the almost total switch to white metals from yellow gold and the addition of diamonds to the bands, including the grooms. You can only go on what you prefer but if you like being different, why not go for the lovely warm colour of red gold.

5) If couples are on a budget what are the most reasonable materials to use?

Palladium wedding bands.

This is an easy question. The answer is palladium. It is very like platinum and is whiter than white gold and costs less than both. However, whith the increased popularity of this metal, I can only see the price rising in future.

6) If the sky's the limit, how can couples splurge on their wedding rings (highest quality materials/diamonds)

We made these wedding rings for a couple that loved diamonds. They were both set with channel set princess cut diamonds in platinum and they loved the rings.

7) Is there anything couples should look out for to be sure they are using a quality jeweller?

I would always look for a jeweller who is well established, has been recommended and above all personable.

8) Do jewellers offer insurance or do couples need to seek outside insurance to protect their new rings?

Your household insurance should cover your wedding rings but look at the small print and check your excess. For higher value items over £1,500 you will probably need to have the items individually photographed and have valuations made for them. We do this for free with our jewellery and I would ask your jeweller to give you a complimentary insurance valuation with your purchase.
