Edit* Just had another absolutely amazing experience with AA Thornton. I went through their bespoke process for an engagement ring and I am over the moon with the result and was very happy with the process, service and attention to detail. I couldn’t recommend them more!

Sally and all the team at A A Thorntons are absolutely fabulous - professional yet friendly !
I recently had a ring set redesigned and they were so helpful, keeping me updated every step of the way so that I had input into the settings.
I would definitely recommend them for this type of work and also for the wonderful range of items, jewellery and gifts, that they have in store.
Sally - I can't thank you enough for all your hard work and the utterly beautiful result.
