A little bit more info about our company and what it's like to work here:

We specialise in bespoke private commissions of engagement and wedding rings, working with the finest precious metals and gemstones. Our emphasis is on helping clients bring to life something really special and personal they can cherish and wear forever. Our clients often comment on how comfortable, easy and fun their bespoke experience has been, which is exactly what we've intended. We want to make the world of bespoke jewellery more accessible and less daunting for everyone.

Unlike a lot of other brands who only deal with the design and sales side of things and keep their production separate or outsourced to faraway places, we are very proud that our production is managed completely in-house. Our workshop is attached to the showroom and the office, allowing for slightly quicker turnarounds and greater communication across the team. Our entire production chain is UK based and although we do work with some suppliers based abroad, we do our best to champion local suppliers.

At Michelle Oh Jewellery we are a small but efficient team. We learn and grow together -some of our staff have been with us for nearly a decade. We work hard and have very high standards, but ultimately we prioritise everyone's personal wellbeing and happiness. Job satisfaction is extremely important to us, we love what we do and want you to be happy coming into work too.
