Thank you, yet again, David, for renewing my ancient, treasured watch and enabling me to wear my late Mother's engagement ring. The standard of your work is truly astonishing and I am thrilled to be able to enjoy pieces of jewelry that mean so much to me. One day, I will have huge pleasure in commissioning you to make something utterly unique!
I have asked David to make several unique pieces of jewellery which needed delicate and precise and very intricate skills. David did a remarkable job and with some additions of his own creativeness, the items of jewellery were stunning. Very individual and special. I would never consider going anywhere else while he is in business!
I wanted a necklace to match a much loved bracelet I bought in Bath many years ago. I visited Snooty Fox and they did an amazing job to create a matching one for me at a very reasonable cost. He also mended a clasp on the bracelet and it came back like new. Great car and excellent customer service. Thanks!
My Fiancee and I were looking for engagement rings, this was the first shop that we went in to. David is a very knowledgeable man and very good at his trade. After a chat about our requirements, he made us feel very confident that he could make exactly what we wanted. We then went off to look at other jewelers in the town. After visiting a couple more, we decided to go back to Snooty Fox and place our order. David has made us the most beautiful hand crafted engagement rings. engraved on the inside and out, with great attention to detail and exactly what we wanted. I would not hesitate in recommending David Thomas at Snooty Fox Jewellery to made the most perfect, unique, hand crafted jewellery for all occasions. His service is second to none.
Had my fiancé's engagement ring made by Dave, took an idea and left it totally in his hands! The outcome is beautiful! From the stones to the setting! We are both very very happy with the outcome and especially as it was complete in such a short time frame! I can't recommend Snooty Fox enough! We will be returning to have our wedding rings made! Thank you so much!
Thank you Snooty Fox!!!! We had our wedding rings made, my wedding ring was designed around my engagement ring - they now fit perfectly together, the diamonds look stunning together! Gary also had his ring made smaller when we returned from honeymoon, which Dave sorted out within a day at no extra cost - so lovely and friendly, we are so happy that we chose Snooty Fox- would recommend to everyone. Thank you so much.
I produced four art deco bracelets, beyond repair I was told but nothing was too much rouble for the team at Snooty Fox! Bracelets painstakingly repaired, cleaned and made ready for my birthday and 30th anniversary. So much care and time was given with a smile. Highly recommended.
Thank you to David who brought tears to my eyes on Saturday when I saw the fantastic work he had done on my rings. They are better than I imagined. Will definitely be back and highly recommend you!
The staff at Snooty Fox were very helpful with the design and comission of my engagement ring, and the finished piece was even better than we imagined. Thank you very much!
Uninspired by high street jewellers i decided for my silver wedding anniversary to get a pair of rings made. At Snooty Fox i was met by David and between us we agreed a design and an interim meeting to finalise details and, in this case, engrave a special message. The rings are terrific, just what I wanted, the service was great; honest and bang on-time, and believe it or believe it not, the price was far lower than the high street. The entire experience was brilliant. If you want something special with a bit of personality, I recommend you give David a call at Snooty Fox. I'll be going back.
I received exceptional service from David when I commissioned a ring to celebrate a milestone birthday. He guided my partner and I through the entire design process personally - from my initial "doodle", to selecting stones, choosing a metal through to final design, assembly and finishing. At every stage of the process we received a wealth of guidance and expert advice, various options and a guide on costs. I am now the proud owner of a truly bespoke diamond, ruby and platinum ring and I love it! I cannot recommend David's work highly enough, it is exceptional and when combined with that very, very personal touch, it made the daunting experience of having something designed and created from scratch a truly magical experience. I am already contemplating another commission. Thank you Louise & Darren
I wandered into the Snooty Fox over 6 years ago now with a half-baked idea of transforming mine and my ex-husband's wedding rings, and my engagement ring into something positive. As each of my children had reached their 21st birthday, Dave has used these raw materials to create a unique piece of jewellery for each of them which they now cherish. I'm not sure who else I could have gone to with such a project and such a tight budget. Thanks, Dave - from Becky, Jack and Vicki... but mostly from me!
Personal service - always remembers our name. Lovely jewellery and nothing is too much trouble. Absolutely recommend a visit - you will find something special for you and your family.
Dave has made the rings for our wedding and the whole process has been a real pleasure. He helped us choose our bespoke designs, giving us expert advice throughout and was even willing to change the design during the process. He gave us an estimate up front then charged us less once he knew the true cost and even popped a bottle of champagne in with the rings and cleaned my partners engagement ring free of charge. Outstanding customer service and satisfaction!
I spent a long time looking in Shrewsbury and Chester for a jeweller who could make a signet ring at a competitive price. Not only did the Snooty Fox offer a fantastic price for a wide range of styles, but I was invited back numerous times to ensure that ring fitted correctly and that the engraving was just perfect. I know that a lot of time and effort went into the creation of my ring and it really does show! Thanks very much. I can understand why all my friends recommended you.
About 18 months ago I had my engagement ring re-sized by a well-known high street jeweller. When I collected my ring it was nearly unrecognisable. I was so disappointed but they would do nothing. A friend of mine recommended Snooty Fox so I took all my rings along to them. All my rings were re-sized, one was repaired and the engagement ring was put back to how it should have been in the first place. I collected my rings today just in time for my 22nd anniversary tomorrow. All the rings are gleaming, they fit beautifully and all the work came in much less than anticipated so I was able to treat my self to a gorgeous pair of earrings too. To sum up my experience of Snooty Fox: A small and friendly business that provides exemplary service. It is a pleasure to recommend Snooty Fox. The place to go for a quality service. Thank you.
We went to Snooty Fox after a recommendation from a friend. An engagement ring was made to a tight deadline and we loved how involved we could be in its design. We experienced very high quality craftsmanship and superb service. Impressed by the standard we went back for our wedding rings. They really looked after us during the making and purchase of the three most important pieces of jewellery we'll ever buy.
For creative design, high quality workmanship, good old fashioned service and value for money use Snooty Fox. David has made an orange garnet and gold dress ring for me; partly from my design but thanks to his artistic flair I now have a stunning piece of jewellery which I could not have afforded had I had to use a London jeweller.
We got a beautiful and unique engagement ring made here and totally loved it. The quality is superb and the service was wonderful. We returned for our wedding rings which we picked up today and we are over the moon! I have no hesitation in recommending snooty fox to everyone snd will definitely shop here many times in the future.
My husband and I wanted handmade wedding rings beautifully crafted but with gold from a guaranteed ethical source. Several professional jewellers we consulted all directed us to Snooty Fox. Whilst Dave could not guarantee fair trade gold he assured us that his sources were as ethical as we could wish. In addition he was very straightforward in advising us on the lower cost carat for the rose gold we chose as our best option and was very reasonable in his final costing. He produced our rings quickly for a last minute deadline. We are enchanted with the finished rings and would highly recommend Snooty Fox for lovely customer service and fantastic value and quality.

David at Snooty Fox created a bespoke engagement ring for me based on a rough sketch drawn by my fiancee. We were both so pleased with the result and the friendly service that we returned to him for our wedding rings. It's quite difficult to know where to start with bespoke rings but David guided us through expertly (and patiently!) and we're both exceedingly happy with the unique pair of rings that we're now wearing.
I was after something specific for a special occasion and after no luck with other jewellers I came across Dave of Snooty Fox Jewellers; a very helpful, friendly, enthusiastic and talented jeweller. He made cuff links to my requirements and within my budget. I would highly recommend this Jewellers.
I collected my belated Birthday present with my partner today. I had a double WOW feeling when I saw my bespoke Celtic ring. It was everything I had always wanted in a ring. My partner Kelvin & I can't thank Dave enough for all the time & patience he has put into this beautiful piece of jewellery. I can imagine when my Daughter sees it she will be visiting Snooty Fox to have her Wedding ring made. Thank you for making my Birthday special, Dave.
I have just received my beautiful engagement ring made by Dave at Snooty Fox - I am over the moon! Both myself and my partner have been amazed by the amount of time and patience Dave gave us when choosing exactly what type of ring we wanted. Despite our countless trips to his shop, Dave was only to happy to give us that extra bit of time and personal attention to ensure we received exactly what we wanted! He is obviously a very busy man with customers coming and going all the time, however his laid back, reassuring and professional character made us feel very relaxed. The end product was way above what we expected - utterly beautiful! We have already recommended Dave to our friends - his efficient and personal service is outstanding and we are very much looking forward to returning to Dave to design our wedding rings. Thank you very, very much! Georgie and Kevin.
Dave at Snooty Fox made my wedding ring. The design was slightly unusual and had to match my engagement ring from abroad. It was pleasantly much more subtle and individual than I expected and it compliments my engagement ring beautifully. Looking forward to having an eternity ring made.
