love letters from you
"I waited until after I'd proposed to leave this, in case my fiancée saw it first. She's seen the ring now and absolutely loves it. They took the time to understand our journey and made sure every detail was crafted to perfection. Even after the proposal they checked in to see how it went."
"Astella helped me pick out my dream ring and delivered beyond expectation. So helpful, friendly and patient with us. When I first saw it I was blown away by how sparkly it was, and the engraving detail was incredible. We'll definitely be back for our wedding rings."
"Astella made the whole process feel personal from the very first conversation. They listened to what we both wanted, took the time to explain everything without rushing us, and showed us bands we would never have thought to try, and we our dream rings that we will cherish forever."
Frequently asked questions
We start with a question, not a ring. Before we show you anything, we want to understand who the ring is for and what the moment marks. From there we look at stones, shapes and settings together, at whatever pace suits you. Some people leave the same day with a clear direction. Others come back two or three times before they are certain. Both are fine.
None. There is nothing to sign and nothing expected of you afterwards. A consultation is simply an hour to look and to ask. If you decide Astella is not the right fit, that is a perfectly good outcome of the conversation.
Around an hour, though we never rush you out of the room. If you need longer, the time is yours.
Yes. Most people who book have no fixed idea when they arrive, and that is often the better place to start. Come with your questions, or come with none and let us ask ours.
Either works. Some people design the ring as a surprise and come in on their own. Others plan it together from the first conversation. We are used to both, and we will follow your lead on how much stays private.
We do not have a position on lab-grown versus natural. We have a position on information. Our engagement rings are made with lab-grown diamonds as standard, with natural available on request, and we will explain honestly what each one means for the stone in front of you. The choice is yours.
It depends on the design, so we will give you a realistic timeline in the room rather than a rough figure here, but it usually around 4-6 weeks. If you are working towards a proposal or a wedding date, tell us early and we will plan around it.
We are at 35 Frederick Street, in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. You can book a consultation, or message us on WhatsApp if you would rather ask a question first.
