“I ordered a ring online and the size was perfect having followed the sizing instructions. The quality of the ring is excellent and the shipping was on time. I have also since then asked questions responding directly to the email address on their email notices and the responsive was immediate.”

Thank you so much for sharing such great feedback! Our ready to wear signet rings are a fantastic addition to our range of gentlemen’s accessories. We are delighted that you are happy with your Signet Ring. We gave these designs a contemporary twist and hand-stamped with our iconic Deakin & Francis skull & cross bones and the date we were founded – 1786. It is pleasing to know that we are super speedy in responding to questions and that the international shipping works well too!

“Every gentleman should have at least one pair of Deakin & Francis cufflinks in their wardrobe. I was assisted by the excellent Christopher MacDonald in the London store: welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive. I believe Deakin & Francis represents the best of British.”

Wonderful feedback from a cufflink connoisseur, who clearly recognises fine quality. We agree that a cufflink collection without at least one pair of Deakin & Francis cufflinks is like a gin without the tonic! As masters in the art of design, we have been employing tools, traditions and techniques passed down from one generation to the next since 1786. Christopher has had many many years experience working in the jewellery business too and is a great ambassador for Deakin & Francis. As a well-respected British brand, Deakin & Francis manufacture some of the world's finest cufflinks, producing fine quality, hand-made jewellery in precious metal, vitreous enamel and gemstones - as you've discovered! Thank you so much for sharing your excellent feedback.

“I popped into their shop last week, with my husband, to do a spot of "looking for hints" as to what he would like for his birthday present. I found the staff to be incredibly helpful and happy for me to take pictures of what he liked, so I wouldn't forget! The result - I now know what husband wants for his birthday and what I want for Christmas. I never knew they could turn the cufflinks into pendants for a necklace. Happy Days”

What an excellent way to do the Christmas shopping! As someone that has visited our London shop in the Piccadilly Arcade that is fabulous feedback. Led by Mr Christopher Macdonald, they are a great team who will do everything they can to help. Plus you can always pop in and ask a member of staff to make a wish list for you, then they can ‘helpfully suggest’ suitable items for your husband to buy – slightly more than a subtle hint! Plus as you’ve discovered, as we are proper manufacturing jewellers which means that we can make anything. We can also take any previously owned item, or an inherited piece and transform into something you really want to wear. We offer complimentary consultations in our London store, so you could book an appointment with one of our jewellers to discuss exactly what you are looking for and we can make it in our Birmingham factory. Thank you again so much for such an excellent review and we are thrilled that you have visited our store in the Piccadilly Arcade in London. We very much look forward to seeing you again.

“They do exceptional work! I only wish their batteries in some of their cuff links lasted longer”

Posted 4 years ago

Thank you for such a great review and for appreciating our fine craftsmanship. We offer a free battery replacement service, so we have popped some in the post for you – if Deakin & Francis made batteries they would last for decades! Plus if you are ever near our London store in the Piccadilly Arcade, the team they will replace the batteries for you on the spot. Thank you for sharing this really valuable feedback – we will add a note to our website about the batteries.

Thank you so much for sharing your review and your photos! We are delighted that so love your Deakin & Francis cufflinks, they are made with care and we have been making fine jewellery – including cufflinks – since 1786.

“I ordered cuff links for my grandsons Christening, to be opened when he becomes a teenager, he lives in New York, and as I was born in Birmingham the the hallmark was important to me, I was very pleased with them.”

Posted 4 years ago

A special Christening gift – what an amazing idea! When your grandson is older, he will be so thrilled as this is truly part of Birmingham history. Deakin & Francis was founded in Birmingham’s jewellery quarter in 1786 and the Birmingham Assay Office was founded a few years beforehand in 1773! In fact Henry Deakin, our Managing Director, has recently been made a Guardian of the Birmingham Assay Office, so we have the hallmark in our DNA. What a lucky grandson and thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review.

“Very good sales support - hugely impressed.”

Posted 4 years ago

As someone that has visited our London shop in the Piccadilly Arcade that is fabulous feedback! Led by Mr Christopher Macdonald, they are a great team who will do everything they can to help and they are all extremely knowledgeable. Part of the training when a new team member joins Deakin & Francis is to experience the whole process of making our cufflinks and enamelling a pair – this is a centuries old tradition that dates back to the Pharaohs and it is very challenging! After this the team really appreciate our jewellers, engravers and enamellers – realising that it is an extremely skilled craft. Thank you so much for such an excellent review and we are thrilled that you have visited our store in the Piccadilly Arcade in London. We look forward to seeing you again.

“Wonderful design excellent service”

Posted 4 years ago

We are so pleased to have been of service to you, it’s something we’ve been doing at Deakin & Francis for seven generations. Our designs are truly amazing too – such a fantastic collection for every possible occasion. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback too.

“I ordered custom cuff links for my husband to wear at our wedding. It was simple to order and while the cuffs took several weeks to ship, they turned out perfectly. Customer service informed me every step of the way what was happening with the shipping delay. They boxed them beautifully which made our getting ready pictures wonderful.”

Posted 4 years ago

Thank you so much for such a brilliant review! We’re thrilled that we were part of your wedding too. The Deakin & Francis classic enamelled cufflinks are handmade in our Birmingham factory using processes that date back to the Pharaohs. When these are made, they are passed to the engraver as the initials are hand-engraved, one by one, in the care of an expert – with a very steady hand! When the engraving is finished, the cufflinks are sent for polishing to ensure they are in perfect condition when they leave the factory. So it’s a process that requires some time as we need to ensure we deliver great quality to you, as you discovered! Our specially made cufflink boxes ensure they are safely protected in the journey and also look great too – how fantastic to include the entire package in the photos! What a very special wedding gift that will be treasured. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback.

“The products are so beautiful. I‘m really happy to knowing your products. I gave until now four Deakin & Francis cufflinks to my husband. He likes the cufflinks very much. Unfortunately one of them has problems with the shutter for the second time. But the Otters are okay.That‘ s why I will continue to look for new one as Future present for him. Best regards, Sylvia”

“Over the years I have built up quite a collection of cuff links and have to say that my personal favourites are Deakin & Francis by a country mile. The quality, attention to detail and peerless style never fail to raise comments in the work place and from people I interact with both professionally and socially. As the old saying goes, 'you never get a second chance to make a first impression' and items like quality cuff links all help to make you stand out from the crowd.”

This is fabulous feedback! We are delighted that you are a fan of Deakin & Francis as we pride ourselves on our high standards and our British heritage. Having manufactured fine jewellery since 1786, the quality of craftsmanship has been passed down through seven generations. One factor that has remained constant all the way through the company’s long history is that the Deakins are formally trained jewellers. Henry and James Deakin are both fully qualified gemologists and create amazing designs and are always looking for the next talking point. From the red hot chilli peppers, to our signature skulls, or the traditional top hats or an exquisite pair of white gold square cufflinks with diamonds and sapphires, we like to think that your cuffs will do the talking and set the scene – whether for business or pleasure. Thank you for standing out from the crowd and taking the time to share your comments, especially from a connoisseur of cufflinks.
