This review comes very late as I've had my beautiful rings for over a year now, and kept intending to leave a review but kept forgetting, but I just wanted to say I love them as much as ever and still find myself staring at it in awe sometimes! I originally fell in love with a ring design I found online that was no longer made, and didn't find anything else (in stores or online) that I liked nearly as much, so me and my now-husband decided to look into getting one custom-made. I'm so glad we found Denis & Ruth, who worked with us to make my dream ring come true--the result completely exceeded my expectations! The entire process was super smooth and enjoyable--Denis & Ruth are wonderful people and made us feel so comfortable. I had tons of questions and moments of indecision between various choices but they were extremely patient and happy to answer all of them. A year after getting my engagement ring, we went back to get a matching wedding band done and again, the level of customer service provided was truly exceptional. I asked them to make a wedding band that was custom-fit to the shape of my engagement ring and they worked with me to create a twist design that looks great as a stand-alone ring, but also fits well with my centre stone on the engagement ring. Initially when I got the band, I wasn't completely happy with the fit...so Denis & Ruth gladly took back the ring, no questions asked, and this time sent both rings off to be 100% sure that the fit was perfect. I am so thrilled with my set now as they look absolutely perfect together and is exactly how I envisioned it! I am truly ecstatic to have such a gorgeous set to wear for the rest of my life--huge thanks to Denis & Ruth! (And I fully intend to wear this set forever, but if I ever need another ring made for whatever reason, I would not hesitate to get it done at Denis Fairhead Jewellers again. Hmm...perhaps I can convince my husband to get me a nice anniversary present a few years down the road? Haha! :P)

Once we easily scheduled a time and date, Denis and Ruth welcomed us into their cozy home on a winter day. They got to know us as a couple before asking us details about the ring, which felt really special and different from the rest of our experiences. We knew that with Denis' many years in ring making that he was the one we wanted to create this forever gift. During our discussions about the vision of the engagement ring, they listened to our needs and added their expertise and advice through it all. They reassured us of the quality, price and process and left nothing out. We left our appointment feeling excited and even more in love! Ruth quickly sent us the quote with the details and we did not hesitate to accept. Throughout the entire process, my fiance was kept up to date and confirm various elements (as I was left to be surprised for the final touches). Even through a pandemic, Denis and Ruth were able to guarantee us the perfect ring on time for the proposal. When the proposal came and my fiance opened the ring box, the ring was so beautiful I couldn't even look at it. We went with a solitaire, Charles and Colvard Forever One Moissanite with a hidden gallery. Thank you Denis for your craftsmanship. We could NOT be HAPPIER! We are so happy to have selected a local business and we will certainly be asking them to make our wedding bands. *UPDATE: As we celebrated our wedding on Oct 10th, 2020. Ruth and Denis promptly prepared my wedding band on very short notice. My photographer got such a beautiful shot of it.

I found out about Denis and Ruth when Ruth posted an article in the Ottawa Ladies Who Lunch group in which they were listed as one of the top three jewellers in Ottawa. My boyfriend and I had been talking about getting a ring and the idea of supporting someone locally was exactly what I wanted to do. I contacted Ruth and she was so accommodating about finding a time that worked for us. After visiting a couple of retail locations and looking online, I had an idea of what I was looking for, but just hadn't found it. When we met with Denis and Ruth, they chatted with us about what we had in mind and looked at some of my favourites. It was such a great process. We then built a custom ring with replica stones and I was able to pinpoint a ring that I loved. We were in a rush to get it so we could tell my grandmother for her 95th birthday. Denis and Ruth had a trip planned, and managed to get my ring done in under a week. When we went to get the ring, Ruth had to go out, but she waited to see my reaction. They have both been so wonderful, kind, professional, and genuine in all our interactions with them. They worked within our budget and worked to make sure I had it to show my grandma. I can not recommend them enough. I absolutely adore my ring!! I can't stop looking at it. It's so perfect, and even more beautiful than I'd imagined. I look forward to working with them again on our wedding bands and future custom pieces.

  • Hannah Jackson

Of all the vendors and services I've worked with in planning my wedding, Denis and Ruth are the people I would truly recommend to anyone without hesitation. I am so glad we made the decision to reach out to them for our wedding bands. There was no headache, no burden of chasing down answers, and no pressure. Denis is a true craftsman and Ruth is a pro at vision and organization. They ask all the right questions and give incredibly personalized, knowledgeable advice. At no point did I feel like I was getting a sales pitch, and that means the world to a bride-to-be who's naively navigating the wedding industrial complex. I was able to show Denis and Ruth my dream design, receive constructive suggestions to make it even more perfect (take note, brides--apparently that's possible!), and walk away with a custom wedding band that was more than I ever imagined. For a price that was far less than I would have imagined. The quality is breathtaking and I'm almost as in love with this ring as I am with my fiance--don't tell him ;). If I need any jewelry service again, I'll be going to Denis, and as long as they're in operation I won't be recommending anyone else to my friends, family and colleagues. Ottawa is very lucky to have this small business that blows big-name competitors out of the water and provides service with the kind of sincere, friendly touch that's a luxury in this day and age.

If I could give Denis & Ruth more than 5 stars, I would! My fiancé and I visited many jewelry stores and we felt that the prices weren’t reflecting the quality of the rings and we always felt pressured. After that, we went on Google and discovered Denis Fairhead and the reviews were all amazing so we decided to give it a try. Honestly, it was the best decision! Denis and Ruth are so kind and attentive to your needs and your budget! We never felt pressured and you can tell that they truly care about giving you the best experience and making you happy. They are honest people! They also responded super quickly to our emails and were patient with us. Regarding the ring, it’s absolutely beautiful! I love it and it’s beyond my expectations! I cannot stop looking at it. On top of that, I am usually picky so if I am highly satisfied with the service, I am sure anyone else will :) They helped me choose the perfect ring for me, which is a moissanite. Honestly, I couldn’t thank both of you enough! I strongly recommend Denis Fairhead Jewellers to anyone because you will never be disappointed with them and you will find what you’re looking for! Thank you again! From Arij & Wassim

  • Kristin Philippi

Choosing to have my engagement and wedding rings made by Denis and Ruth was one of the best decisions I've ever made! I was having a hard time finding anything I liked in stores, so I searched online for local jewellers and they came up. Their excellent reviews made me choose them over their competitor, so I thought I should add my voice! Ruth is a lovely person to talk to and has a ridiculously fast response time on messages - it was not unusual to get replies from her on evenings, weekends, or even once at midnight! She was incredibly patient with me and my many requests, and I enjoyed her company. Denis did a wonderful job on my ring, and when there was a tiny rough edge on the bottom he had me come right back to fix it the same evening as he was leaving the next day on vacation! I'm in love with my ring - it fits my personal style and lifestyle requirements perfectly. It's simple and beautiful and so sparkly! Most of all, I love that every time I look at the ring, I'm reminded of my wonderful interaction with these lovely people, rather than buying from a stranger at a store. Can't recommend them highly enough!

  • Geneviève Hudon

We are extremely happy with our custom wedding bands and engagement ring! The designing experience was surprisingly easy and painless, even though we didn't know much about fine jewelry. My husband felt very comfortable at the initial meeting, where Denis and Ruth presented different options and guided him through the process. Much less intimidating than a retail jeweler! The customer service was amazing: when there was a problem with a stone, Denis fixed it and improved the ring design, free of charge, to avoid future problems. They also gave us advice about the band shape so we could make an informed decision. We only wish they had more physical ring options on-hand, which would have helped us compare and visualize the final product. Since Denis can create just about anything based on pictures, the possibilities are endless and it can be hard to make a decision! (Our rings were made during the pandemic, so we couldn't go to a store to try different rings on. We just had to trust Denis' judgement, but we're glad we did!) On the whole, we highly recommend Denis Fairhead!

  • Isabelle B

Denis and Ruth were wonderful! I came to them looking for a wedding band. I was still hesitating on whether I wanted a custom band, since the style I wanted was not very common and very hard to find in a store. Ruth did some research for me and showed me the cost of having them create a custom ring for me and also found me a few options of rings already made that I could purchase as is. During my second consultation, I brought my bridesmaid with me to help me decide. She is planning on getting engaged in the near future. She had some questions about the whole custom ring process and Denis and Ruth gladly answered all her questions, even though this meant our appointment would spill past our allotted time. They even showed her some styles and drafted a design for her. They really cared about you as a person and really want to find the best ring for YOU and your style/personality. They were so helpful every step of the way and I and truly grateful for their help and knowledge.

  • Raphaël Papiccio

Denis crafted us a masterpiece. I spent quite a few months looking for a canadian jeweller to design a ring for my partner and Denis' name kept popping up as the person with the necessary skills to pull it off. By pure luck he happened to be located in the same city. Working with his wife to nail down the finer points was an absolute pleasure, despite the challenges brought about by the pandemic. They were very patient and the result as you can see for yourself is astounding. The beauty of the ring is almost impossible to capture in pictures. In fact this almost derailed my proposal as my partner was so mesmerized by the ring she did not hear a word I said hahaha. The matching band works perfectly with the engagement ring. It hasn't been a week yet and already she's getting compliments about it from strangers. She herself spends a crazy amount of time just staring at it in disbelief. Again, a masterpiece.

  • Michelle

We worked with Denis and Ruth to create a custom engagement ring, using a family diamond, and are absolutely thrilled with the results. I liked the idea of a halo setting, and Ruth expertly guided us through various options and considerations. She was incredibly attentive to my preferences and any concerns, and provided excellent advice on how to achieve the look I wanted, within a budget that we were comfortable with. Throughout the process, the communication was clear and response time was always fast. We felt very comfortable making design decisions with Ruth's expert guidance throughout the whole process. I am beyond thrilled with the result -- the ring is exactly what I wanted, but also better than I could have imagined. Thank you to Ruth and Denis for creating such a perfect engagement ring, and for honouring our family stone with an exquisite new setting.

  • Adam Szabo

Folks! The service Ruth and Denis provided is something I believed extinct since the big box stores took over the retail business. I am talking about genuine care and a desire to help. My project was a common one. I have a fiance in need of a ring but no ideas, imagination or creativity. Enter Ruth and Denis! Both of them sat patiently with me asking questions, showing pictures until a design emerged. Not once did I feel as if I was buying a service for money. Nobody was looking at the time, no sales pitches and no ego driven promises. Instead what I got was professional and invaluable help. The whole consultation felt like friends trying to help each other with patience and COMPLETE dedication to the cause. Based on my experience, if you need help from people who truly care about your project, go see Ruth and Denis. You will get way more than what you pay for.

  • Shany Fraser

We had a fantastic experience buying an engagement ring from Ruth and Denis. To make a long story short, they provided expert guidance throughout the entire process and we ended up with a beautiful ring that exceeded our expectations. Ruth and Denis offered cost saving options that were not aware of and offered thoughtful advice. We did not feel pressured at any point and we felt like we could trust Ruth and Denis. We could not be happier with the end result. I ended up with my dream ring. ☺️ When we received the ring, there was a minor imperfection on the setting. Denis and Ruth handled the situation perfectly. Instead of opting for a quick fix, they had the setting re-made to make sure it was perfect. They were thoughtful and considerate throughout the whole process. Thank you Ruth and Denis for the beautiful ring and the excellent service! ☺️

  • Sheena Kennedy

We contacted Denis and Ruth via email about making a custom engagement ring after reading all of their positive reviews. Ruth was quick to respond to my inquiry; asking which styles I had in mind, what our budget was, and setting up a time and date to meet with us. Both Ruth and Denis made the process very easy as we felt they understood exactly what we were looking for and were able to help us get the most beautiful and perfect ring, while staying within our budget. We really appreciate the outstanding customer service and quality of the product they have provided us with. Ruth even went above and beyond to help my fiance keep the end result a surprise for Christmas! We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Denis Fairhead Jewellers to everyone! Thank you so much!!

  • Jennifer Diamond

So excellent!!! Denis and Ruth are the real deal. Not knowing what to expect, we were pleasantly welcomed into their lovely home and were amazed by their warmth and genuine kindness. We already had an idea for the design of our engagement and wedding rings, yet Denis and Ruth were very happy to educate us and guide us (but not to sell us) in our ring buying process. They gave us multiple options and offered their expert opinions on each one. We were both delighted with the results, and my fiancé and I have received multiple compliments on our respective rings. Ruth and Denis were very engaged throughout the process, and their customer service was impeccable. Ruth and Dennis are THE people to go for custom jewelry design in Ottawa.

  • Gabrielle Forget

I went to Denis and Ruth for an engagement ring and wedding band, and they were very kind and very thorough! Ruth is great for responding to emails quickly and with lots of information. I couldn't afford a custom set so I did some research on stuller settings, and they worked with me to make sure that my choice of setting and stone were within my budget and of high quality (and they were very patient giving me advice during the final decisions). They kept in contact while my stone was being cut and shipped, and Denis did a great job setting the stone. They also offered to clean everything right before my wedding. The price was extremely reasonable and it's obvious they worked hard to make sure I would be happy.

  • Stephanie Cheung

Denis and Ruth are personable and honest, and so easy to work with; Ruth was super responsive to emails, and Denis is so knowledgeable in sharing his process. Meeting with them was a breeze, and it is so nice to be able to connect with the people and the heart behind this business. When they asked us for our budget, they actually downsold us and worked with us to make something that made sense for us. Denis made us our engagement ring, and I am so so happy with how it turned out!! Of course, I said yes to J's proposal, and this beautiful ring is just the cherry on top. Not to mention, I have been getting lots of comments on the ring. I would not hesitate in recommending Denis Fairhead Jewellers to anyone.

  • kelsey gaudreault

My husband and I went to see Denis and Ruth for a custom made engagement ring using diamonds from my mother's engagement ring. They are very friendly and easy to work with and worked so hard to make sure I absolutely adored my ring. We'd go back and fourth by email to go over the design and Ruth would always make sure we were on the same page. In the end I couldn't be happier with the ring they made for us. It is absolutely beautiful and so much nicer than anything we would have gotten in a store, and for much cheaper! I would highly recommend them to anyone and will be returning for my wedding band and any other jewelry I want in the future.Thank you Denis and Ruth for making me my dream ring!

  • Mike Mortley

I got an engagement ring for my fiancee Alitalia under a year ago and now that she has it I can post my review; she said yes! Wow is all I can say about my experience, I went in with a bit of an idea and design and Denis and Ruth sat down with me personally and worked out the ideal ring. We went over the design and the size and material they gave me SO many options but gave me a direction that they thought (knew) would work and look the best. They both definitely know what they are doing and how to get people exactly what they want. My fiancee loves the ring her friends love it it was a hit. Thank you Denis and Ruth you guys did a great job! P.s. see you guys later for the wedding bands :)

  • Tatum Braia

Can not say enough good things about Denis and Ruth... About a year ago a diamond fell out my engagement ring, devastated because it was purchased over seas and to send it back and fourth to be fixed was too complicated. My fiance decided to look for local jewelers instead of just bringing it to a retail jewelry store and he found Denis and Ruth. My ring came back looking more amazing then when it was first given to me!! We loved their work and service so much we then had them custome make our wedding bands!! We picked them up this week and once again we are both blown away, great work, great customer service and great pricing... It was a pleasure working with them!

  • Sarah Dowling

Our collaboration with Ruth and Denis was a very enjoyable experience. Navigating our unique vision for our engagement and wedding rings, they provided patient guidance throughout every step of the process. Their skillful translation of our ideas and sketches into absolutely beautiful, tangible pieces left us completely happy. They were also able to work around our scheduling hurdles to help bring magic to our special day. Wearing these rings every day brings a sense of pride, thanks to their thoughtful craftsmanship and the overall positive experience. We would definitely recommend their services for a personalized journey in creating meaningful jewelry.

  • Stephanie Cole

Ruth and Denis did an awesome job designing and producing a wedding band to fit my custom engagement ring. They were friendly, enjoyable to work with, and responsive to all of our questions along the way. They clearly have a passion for what they do, and that shined through in their interactions with us and in the ring itself. They did a great job of keeping us updated and involved through all steps of the process, and made sure we would be 100% satisfied with the final product. The result was a beautiful custom wedding band, exactly as we envisioned, with excellent quality and craftsmanship, at a reasonable price. Thanks so much Ruth and Denis!

  • Jonathan Baldwin

Denis and Ruth provide excellent service. We met with Denis and Ruth on multiple occasions to create our wedding bands. The pair were knowledgeable, pleasant, and patient throughout. My wife’s band was custom made. The initial design was derived from a few pictures she found online. The end product surpassed her expectations. Denis and Ruth were always there to answer questions and advise us throughout the process. They also made sure the rings fit the way we wanted them to by allowing us to have them resized free of charge. I’d definitely recommend Denis Fairhead Jewellers to anyone and I look forward to working with them in the future.

  • Tracy Griffiths

Ruth and Denis are positively lovely. After they made my beautiful engagement ring, I took in a few pieces of family jewellery to find out just what I had and what could be done to reset the stones into something more contemporary and wearable. Both Ruth and Denis were friendly and patient and explained my options and provided a quote for the work with no pressure to proceed until I was completely sure what I wanted to do. In the end I had a ring turned into a pendant necklace and I am thrilled with the result. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. We will be returning to them again soon to have our wedding bands made.

  • Jessica Trainor

My boyfriend and I reached out to Ruth & Denis quite a while back to inquire about an idea we had for a ring. They were both more than accommodating and were always very quick at responding to any questions we had. Ruth gave us honest, professional feedback while still making us feel comfortable with the process. They were not pushy at all - something we were really happy about as it made the whole process a lot less stressful and more enjoyable. Before, during and after the process - we received great service. I would highly recommend them and we will definitely be going back to Ruth & Denis for our wedding bands in the future.

  • Krissy Swim

Three years ago, Denis created custom wedding bands for my engagement ring that fit perfectly - so much so that people are surprised it’s not one ring! This year he remade my engagement ring (purchased from another jeweller). It’s so incredibly beautiful and looks identical to my original ring, but much higher quality. Denis handcarved it to match it, it was especially difficult as the two custom bands he created years before needed to fit. It was a lot of work on his part; Denis was patient and communication was on point. Denis and Ruth are genuinely wonderful people and such a pleasure to work with! Thank you both so much!

  • Amber Banford

Denis and Ruth were amazing to work with. My engagement ring has two very old diamonds that belonged to my grandmother, and her grandmother before that - and therefore were quite sentimental to me. The idea of sending them off for repairs stressed me out and so I was looking for someone who could do the work on site. Once I met Denis and Ruth, I knew they were the people! They discussed all options, provided me with a quote that day and had the work done the week after - under budget and in less time than they had anticipated. I highly recommend their service, design skills and industry knowledge. Thank you Denis and Ruth!

  • Alexandre Richard

What an amazing experience it was working with Ruth and Denis on this engagement ring. I met with a few custom jewellers but right away I felt comfortable with them. They were very helpful through the design process and we had great discussions about variations or options that led to creating a perfect ring. What I love the most however is that for them it was more than just selling me a ring, they had a genuine interest in getting to know the story around the piece of jewellery so they understood what I wanted to create. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with both of them. Thanks again!

  • Justin Ramsay

Asking Denis and Ruth to create my partner's engagement ring was one of the best decisions of this past year. Ruth was detailed and patient throughout the planning process, and the final piece Denis made exceeded our expectations. Always quick and responsive (resizing was done in less than a day) they both made things easy, and were genuinely excited for us. Almost 2 months later, and the ring still looks and feels brand new. For less than it would have cost to buy a similar ring from a box store, we got something unique and special. I highly recommend Denis Fairhead Jewellers to anyone and everyone.

  • Trenton Witt

Denis and Ruth are fabulous! I reached out to them after one of my clients had his ring made by them and after looking at his ring, I knew I had to have my wedding ring made by them. I only had a month until the wedding date and had a very paticular ring design that no other rings on the market fully matched. Ruth and Denis made it extremely easy to get in contact with them and work with them on what I was wanting. They made the ring exactly like how I imagined it, delivered it to me prior to the wedding, charged a very fair price, and were so easy to work with and extremely nice!

  • C Galarneau

Jon wanted to create a unique engagement ring for me, and Denis and Ruth made the vision come true. They are very professional and friendly. I always feel comfortable voicing my concern and they always find a way to fix the problem/make it perfect. I never really liked chain jewelry stores, and Denis and Ruth provides the care that I was looking for. They have great practical suggestions through the overwhelming choices we had. This is my dream ring and they made it happen. I highly recommend having them create or repair your jewelry. It was a really fun and memorable experience.

  • Mo Zhang

This ring is breathtaking and one of a kind!!!! I highly highly recomment this place, Ruth and Denis are both very knowledgable and provided the best service I could ever imagine and this ring is definitely a dream come true. I showed them an inspiration pic and Ruth priovided a lot of practical and useful suggestions, which makes this ring better than what I expected! They were not pushy at all, extremely patient and always respond in time. It was our pleasure working with them and they made this journal easy and less stressful. Will definitely go back for my wedding band. :)

  • Heather Donovan

I cannot say enough good things about Ruth and Denis. We brought in an old engagement ring and Denis removed the two side diamonds and made them into stud earrings for me. Then the second time we worked with them, we had sapphire stones reset where the diamonds were to create a truly gorgeous new ring. They are so flexible with their hours - weekends, evening - and so pleasant to work with. We'll definitely be back when it comes time to create a band to go with this ring. Thank you both for everything. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

  • Samuel Spence

Truly a tremendous experience. Every step of the way both Ruth and Dennis made sure my every concern was addressed with honesty and integrity. I had very little knowledge going into their business, but they made sure my special moment was treated with expert care. The work they produced was spectacular. I gave them very little to work with from materials to ideas, and yet they still managed to craft an absolutely stunning ring. I would recommend Dennis and Ruth to anyone. Lovebirds or soon-to-be weds, they will make your special moment come alive.

  • Daniel Delatour

By far the best service in Ottawa relating to Jewelry. Denis and Ruth have made my idea of a perfect ring for my wife to be a reality and all of the within my set budget. My wife to be absolutely loves the ring and I do not regret choosing Denis and Ruth for this experience. If you are still undecided in using them for your special moment, let me tell you that they will not disappoint you at all. Do yourself a favor and at least book an appointment. You will see what why for me, they are the BEST. Thank you to the both of you again. Daniel

  • Cameron C

We had a fantastic experience with Ruth and Denis. They made my engagement ring and both of our wedding bands. We weren't happy with the quality of diamonds that we were finding at jewelry stores but they helped us find a beautiful, good quality diamond for my engagement ring. I'm so glad we went to them instead of a jewelry store. They were very informative and honest and gave us exactly what we wanted, and they were very patient with us during the process. I highly recommend their services. You will not be disappointed!

  • Caitlin Cuskley

My husband worked with Denis and Ruth for my custom engagement ring and I couldn't have been happier! I had the pleasure of meeting them both when we went back to get custom wedding bands and I have to say- meeting them made me fall in love with my ring even more. Denis and Ruth are such gracious, professional, and kind people who clearly know their craft. My engagement and wedding ring a are beautifully made and I get non-stop compliments! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a high-quality jeweler!

  • Sidhant Sharma

Had the most comfortable experience dealing with Ruth and Denis. I came in with a short deadline and they never made me feel like I was taking too much of their time. Ruth replied to every email I sent on time (which makes a lot of difference with our new normal way of living). This was my first time buying this kind of ring and I had a change of mind on the design a couple of times. Ruth and Denis welcomed my questions and accommodated my requests and delivered the ring on time. Thank you for making her day special.

  • Caroline Q

Denis and Ruth are incredible! I highly recommend them. We loved working with them in creating the most beautiful rings I will ever own. They were quick to respond, professional, warm, kind, and honest. We went to big box stores prior and felt very pressured to spend a lot of money on something we weren't 100% sure about. Then we found Denis and Ruth and we never once felt pressured. I'm so happy we went with them! I get compliments constantly on the beauty and quality of my rings. Thank you again Denis and Ruth!

  • Dmitri Tchebotarev

We really enjoyed working with Ruth and Denis for our engagement ring and wedding bands. They were very friendly, knowledgeable and gave us some great recommendations. They were also fairly priced and the craftsmanship was excellent. I’ve already recommended them to a friend who got engaged and would recommend them to anyone else wanting to get custom jewelry. Thank you Ruth and Denis for all of your help, you made the process of choosing wedding bands and an engagement ring very easy! Rachel & Dmitri

  • Dryden Trivett

We were considering designing a men's wedding band and women's wedding/engagement stack; fortunately we found Ruth and Denis! They welcomed us into their home and immediately we trusted them with bringing our ideas to life. The entire process was smooth and they were always available to answer questions or address our requests/concerns. I would have never imagined the rings would be as spectacular as they turned out! We are so thankful for Ruth and Denis for their work, we couldn't be happier!

  • Keith L

My fiancé and I have nothing but fantastic things to say about the beautiful ring that Denis created. From the very start Ruth was superb in answering all my questions in detail, sourcing the perfect stone, and helping me work through the design elements. They never made me feel pressured in any way, and the end result is an absolute stunning ring. My fiancé loved every detail of the ring and can’t stop staring at it - can’t recommend Denis and Ruth enough! It was also nice to meet their cats!

  • Kelsey Hooper

Denis and Ruth were prompt with answering all of my questions and were able to provide amazing service! I came to them with an inspiration of what I imagined my engagement ring and wedding band set to look like. They were able to rebuild exactly that, with my vintage engagement ring, and create a matching band, not to mention at a fraction of the cost I was quoted at other jewellers (and on time)! Very happy and would highly recommend their services! Beautiful custom work to last a lifetime!

  • Frank

Ruth and Denis were fantastic! We went for a consultation and they were very well set up for us outdoors. They are very knowledgeable and were very helpful, willing to talk to us about a visit to another store and even gave us tips if we were planning to go the store route. Of course, we've decided to buy our engagement ring from Ruth and Denis as they made us feel comfortable throughout the experience and at no point did we feel any kind of pressure. Highly recommended!

  • Scott Zakaib

Denis and Ruth are amazing! They were very helpful in guiding me through the design process, selecting stones, and providing thorough care instructions. They were prompt, were excellent at communicating quickly and thoroughly, and are lovely people! I cannot recommend Fairhead enough, their work is incredible. We even went back to get the wedding band done, too. This is a great place to get a unique, design made for a fraction of the cost of going to a big jeweler.

Denis and Ruth created the most beautiful engagement ring! I still can't believe I have something so beautiful on my hand even though it been a few months! I wasn't apart of the process but my fiancé says the whole experience was amazing that he wishes I was there for it. The attention to detail and the time they took to go over every aspect and confirm everything was as desired was appreciated! We plan to go back for our wedding bans when the time comes.

  • Mike Visser

Denis and Ruth are amazing and very helpful. Even though I had a good idea of what I wanted, they were excellent at suggesting options and materials to help make the ring feasible and get the most value out of my budget. I ended up with an exceptionally better ring that I had anticipated and my Fiancé loved it. We have had our weddings bands done by them as well in a matching style. Awesome experience and service using them and highly recommended.

  • Sarom Prom

I was repeatedly told, "No, not possible, not worth it...etc" before stumbling across Ruth & Denis who replied that everything that we wanted was indeed possible. We wanted to repurpose our unworn gold into new symbolic pieces. From the stone shopping, to the final design process, Ruth was extremely patient, honest and available to chat. With their expert guidance, we were able to bring our ideas to reality. Please don't fully retire anytime soon!

  • Eric Shoesmith

I had a great experience purchasing my fiancé’s engagement ring from Ruth and Denis. Ruth was very patient, helpful, and courteous answering all of my questions (I knew nothing about jewelry!) and Denis did a great job sizing my fiancé’s ring professionally and accurately. She loves it! Really appreciated the personalized service, respect for my budget, and attention to detail throughout the process. Thanks again Denis and Ruth! :)

  • Samuel Edwards

Ruth and Denis have been absolutely fantastic throughout both our engagement and our wedding! In total, they've done four rings for us, all of them stunning. They're the nicest people you could hope to meet, incredibly responsive and helpful, and most importantly make beautiful rings at very very reasonable prices. If I could give them six stars, I would; you won't find better anywhere! Thank you Ruth and Denis!! - Sam and Chrissy

  • Sam Park

Fantastic experience working with Denis and Ruth— they’re a great team. I was first impressed by the detail and transparency on their website. When we met in-person they were patient, answered our questions, and had many safety protocols in place for Covid. My partner appreciated the fast replies by email and the ease of pick-up. I appreciated how stunning my ring was— just as we designed together! Thank you!!

  • Kelsie

Our experience designing a custom engagement ring with Denis and Ruth was wonderful. All communications were timely and Ruth always provides exceptional levels of detail. Their schedules were very accommodating for any in person meetings. They really took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, providing several options along the way – and the final piece is stunning. I would highly recommend them.

  • Blake Freier

Dennis and Ruth were glowingly recommended by a couple of friends and they were great! Definitely lived up to the hype our friends produced. They sent us lots of examples while we figured out what we wanted and worked with us to get us exactly the rings we wanted for our wedding bands. They resized my fiance's engagement ring and made sure that the two rings fit together like a glove.

  • Nicole

I had my wedding band and engagement rings designed by Denis and I can honestly say they are more beautiful than I could have imagined. They are honest, so easy to talk to and willing to listen to your ideas while giving you expert advice on what will work best with those ideas! I’ve had some experience with other jewellery designers and can say Denis and Ruth are the best!

  • Michelle B.

Denis and Ruth are amazing! My engagement ring previously belonged to my partner's mother so it needed to be resized and cleaned. The pricing was fair and the process was so easy and quick. Denis and Ruth are very warm and welcoming - it was truly a pleasure interacting with them. I'll definitely be going to them when my partner and I need to purchase our wedding bands.

  • Jordan McNally

Denis and Ruth were wonderful to work with for our custom engagement ring. They provided detailed information to help us make an informed decision on the design choices and guide us along our way. We never felt like they were pressuring us into buying anything and they never tried to upsell. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and we will definitely be back in the future.

  • Ryan Neville

Just recently got engaged to my beautiful fiancee and she absolutely loves the custom ring from Denis Fairhead. The design process was made super simple, and being able to see the size of the stone/ring before committing to the ring was super helpful in the decision making process. I would highly recommend Denis Fairhead to anyone looking for a custom ring.

  • Kirsten Hall

Ruth was amazing to work with, she was very knowledgable, trustworthy and had great communication! Denis made an amazing ring according to my custom design with numerous requests and additions. The ring was of the highest quality, and I would not hesitate to come back to them again. In fact, I will actually get them to make me some more pieces!

My fiancé worked with Ruth & Denis to design my dream ring this fall. Matt loved working with Ruth & Denis throughout the process.

Thanks to Ruth and Denis for making my dream ring a reality!

  • Jacob Danovitch

Ruth and Denis took our rough idea on a fairly tight timeline and designed exactly what we wanted and even faster than we expected. She gets compliments on it everywhere we go. I truly don't think it would have worked out this well anywhere else. Ruth and Denis are wonderful people and absolutely amazing at what they do.
