“Alison transformed some old jewelry into a beautiful bespoke piece that I hope will become a new family heirloom. Her designs fit perfectly with want I wanted and how I was going to wear it, providing useful advice on the design and size. I love my piece and I get a lot of people inquiring about it. It's one of a kind!”

“My, now, husband bought me little Catkin stacking ring as an engagement ring and at the same time introduced me to the beautiful world of Alison MacLeod jewellery! We went on to work with Alison to make a bespoke engagement ring, and I went back and bought a further stacking ring to complete my set. Her jewellery is absolutely beautiful and she is amazing to work with. I’ve bought earrings and necklace from her too, and am always complimented when I wear these! I love spotting other people wearing her jewellery! Can’t rate her highly enough!”

“Alison made my engagement ring in November 2018, and I couldn’t be happier with it. My fiancé originally proposed with a family ring, with the idea that I could design something more personal to me. We discovered Alison’s work at a wedding fair in Glasgow, and as soon as I saw her designs, I knew that her vibe was for me.
The whole process — from our first meeting to the final ring — was seamless, enjoyable, and truly special. Alison’s designs are stunning, and the quality of her work speaks for itself.”

“Alison made wedding rings for my wife and I, and we really couldn't be happier with them.
From our first conversation, Alison was really attentive to what we were looking for, and she created such beautiful pieces for us. I love her mastery of different textures and the contrast between the rings. The sculpted, clay like texture of mine really speaks to me coming from a family of potters, and its counterpart has an intricate, delicate and mythical feel.
Visiting Alison's studio and hearing about her processes really brought to life the skill involved in making these pieces by hand as well as the love that she puts into her craft.”

“Alison worked with us to design and make the perfect bespoke engagement ring - she talked us through materials, ethical sourcing (as much as is possible in this industry) and when we collected the piece from her lovely studio in Thornhill she gave great advice for future rings and local proposal locations as well! We had our ring from Alison back in February 2024 and it is still perfect, a testament to her quality as well as style. Thank you again Alison for everything, speak soon! Jenny & Steve”

“Having jewellery made by Alison is so much more than just getting something beautiful to wear – it’s a deeply personal experience. From the moment my husband and I started looking for someone to make our wedding rings, we knew we wanted something unique and meaningful, and Alison truly delivered that and more.
She really listened to what we wanted, brought her own thoughtful creativity to the process, and made us feel genuinely cared for. I’m still absolutely in love with my gold catkin ring – while Alison drew her inspiration from nature, to me it feels like something magical and powerful, almost like a dragon scale. It’s elegant, a little wild, and always gets noticed.
Thank you, Alison!”

“I’ve had 2 rings designed by Alison over the last 8 years - one to celebrate some exciting life events and more recently my engagement ring which my fiancé worked with Alison to design. Working with Alison has been lovely and is a really special experience. I absolutely love the rings and get so many compliments on them. They truly are heirloom pieces and I would not hesitate to recommend Alison to work with to design something special and one of a kind.”

“I now have three beautiful rings made by Alison, 2 using stones from my Grandmother’s engagement ring. I love Alison’s style - each of my bands has a different design - dotty, catkin and diamond scatter. All beautiful and I love them all! Would highly recommend working with Alison on a bespoke design to turn an old heirloom into something that suits you better.”

— Deborah Tidy
“Alison made me a beautiful ring from her collection of designs adding a ruby for me. She also made me on of her eternity rings which has an amazing sparkle. I also had a pendant made using some diamonds from an old ring in which Alison incorporated her iconic catkin design. I always get comments when wearing these pieces. They dazzle and are truly beautiful. I feel so lucky! Thank you Alison.”

-
— Tessa Gordziejko
“Alison created a new piece for me out of an opal pendant and ring I had been given by my godmother, some stones from a brooch of my mother's and gold and white gold recycled from my wedding and engagement rings (now that I'm happily divorced!). The result is stunning, I love my new pendant which is in Alison's signature catkin style, whilst being very personal to me through the history of the stones. I wear it more than any other piece of jewellery I've ever owned.”

“My husband bought me a beautiful engagement ring from Alison. After that I knew I wanted her to make our wedding rings. We went to meet her and she was so lovely and friendly. We were able to melt two family member rings and put them into our wedding bands, it made the rings even more special for us. I also got earrings that matched my engagement ring for my wedding day. Alison's work is brilliant and would highly recommend.”

— Elaine Maclean
“Our experience of working with Alison to create my engagement ring was fantastic. Apart from creating beautiful jewellery, Alison made the process of commissioning a bespoke ring so enjoyable. We chose a catkin ring with a single tourmaline. Alison sourced 9 different stones for us to choose from and was very respectful of our budget throughout. Would definitely recommend.”

“I think I can safely say I’m obsessed with Alison’s beautiful work. I have multiple pieces from rings, earrings, necklaces and a bracelet. I have never been disappointed and adore wearing every piece. When having heirloom pieces designed with items from loved ones, the process has been a pleasure. Alison’s individual style shines through with the gems and gold taken from precious items of the past. As I say…. Obsessed 🤩”

“I have always loved Alison’s work, so when I got engaged I knew exactly who I wanted to design my ring. Alison was a delight to work with from the very first meeting. She created the most beautiful ring. Something truly unique and timeless. Her skills are unmatched in creating one off pieces of art.
It was a no brainer that she makes our wedding bands. They too are absolutely stunning and we cannot wait to wear after we’re married.”

— Eleanor Nightingale
“Alison created the most beautiful wedding rings for us, and they are everything we dreamed of. Crafted from fair trade 18k gold and engraved on the inside, they carry such meaning. From the moment we slipped them on, they felt as though they had always belonged – my husband describes his as “a cuddle on his finger,” which says it all.
We eloped in Scotland at the height of lockdown, and it meant so much to us that our rings were made in the very place where we shared our vows. Alison managed to capture exactly what we wanted and made the process feel effortless and personal.
These rings are not only stunning but a true symbol of our love and our story. We are so grateful to Alison for creating something so timeless and heartfelt.” -
— Rachel Henderson
“Alison's jewellery is beautiful - her wider collections and her custom designs are equally stunning, unique and very special. Each piece tells it's own little story. I purchased a signature catkin eternity ring, and my mother had some bespoke jewellery designed and made using older pieces that were no longer able to be worn. Alison was fab to deal with throughout the process, and listened carefully to what each of us wanted. We were both absolutely delighted with our pieces, and hope that they will be the first of many!”

“I bought a ‘Good Luck Charm Necklet’ from Alison some time ago and I love it. It’s beautifully made and often admired - I wear it every day, hopefully attracting a daily sprinkle of good luck. My order was delivered quickly as it was in stock and communication from Alison was very friendly. Alison’s jewellery is absolutely beautiful and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for something special.”

— Fiona Harris
“These are my favourite earrings, made by Alison when she was based in Glasgow - a long time ago! Made from oxidised silver and garnets they always draw compliments! It was no problem to Alison to make a new earring when I lost one even though she no longer made this design. I love Alison's jewellery designs and look forward to seeing what others post.”

— Amy Marriott
“I first met Alison when she was starting out, selling at London markets. Her jewellery was just as beautiful back then and I spent one of my first pay cheques on one of her beautiful pieces. I added to my collection and my bracelet, necklace and earrings are the most cherished pieces in my jewellery box. They bring me a huge amount of joy every time I wear them and they always get lots of comments.”

“Alison made my fiancé’s engagement ring and it could not have been a better experience. She was so helpful throughout the process and created a beautiful ring that my fiancé adores. We will be coming back for a wedding ring ready for our summer 2026 wedding.”

“My wife loves jewellery by Alison and this is the second time purchasing from her. As well a beautiful craftsmanship and designs, dealing with Alison is so easy, she is really helpful and talented in what she does. I ordered this necklace for my wife's 40th birthday and because she prefers rose gold Alison made it from scratch and in a timely manner ensuring I had the gift for her birthday. I would totally recommend Alison's jewellery and will definitely use her again. Thank you Alison”

“After much searching looking for that "special" wedding ring l came across Alison MacLeod Jewellery website and found the perfect ring for me. Alison was very helpful and professional. My ring is lovely quality and the box that it came in made it even more special. Alison even repaired my ring free of charge after my son had bent it a few years later. I would recommend Alison MacLeod for her exemplary service and quality items and would love to buy another piece of jewellery in the near future.”

“I absolutely love my wedding and eternity rings and hoop earrings that I've got from Alison over the past few years. The beautiful textures she designs have made me a returning customer as her pieces are timeless but yet really stand out. She has also always been a warm and lovely person to purchase from.”

“Alison made me a beautiful, one-of-a-kind ring for my birthday using sentimental stones I already had, along with some she sourced to complete the design. She was a joy to work with - responsive, collaborative and she really took the time to understand what I was hoping for. The process felt personal and thoughtful from start to finish and the end result is something I’ll treasure forever. I’d highly recommend Alison to anyone looking for a unique and meaningful piece of jewellery.”

We were so delighted with our two pieces of jewellery Alison commissioned for our 40th birthdays.
Alison designed a signet ring for my husband and beautiful earrings for me, a year apart. Her jewellery is all beautiful and she keeps in touch as she goes to ensure everything is so special. -
— Suzy O Leary
“Alison made my engagement and wedding rings almost 8 years ago. Both are beautiful and still give me so much joy every day! The process of designing the rings was great, with photo and video updates when she received the diamonds. The quality of workmanship is fantastic, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her.”

“Alison designed me a ring to incorporate the birth stones of my kids and husband and a matching pair of earrings. It was so easy to see, discuss and amend the mock-up of the design (all remotely). The ring resembled the renderings and is truly beautiful with so much interest from the colour and different levels of the stone setting. So nice to have something unique and hand made. Would definitely recommend.”

“Wonderful experience from start to finish, from ordering one of Alison’s ring designs, finding the right stones, to discrete and speedy delivery. The ring is absolutely beautiful, both I, and my now fiancée (!), absolutely love it!”

“Bought a beautiful ring via aetla made from Alison Macleod in her typical catkin coin pattern with a small teardrop-shaped tourmalin. It‘s a so very unique and sentimental piece and at the same time modern and contemporary, I never saw something similar again! Beautiful and unique craftmanship, would wish for a stockist closer in the EU ☺️”
-
— Joanna Taylor
“Could not be happier with my Alison Macleod pieces, each is beautiful and means the world to me. Over the years I’ve stacked 3 rings to mark occasions both happy and sad, and bought a happy horseshoe necklace when I needed a lucky charm to buoy me. The textures and the sparkles bring me joy, and I look forward to passing them to my daughter one day.”

“Alison made the most beautiful diamond, emerald and gold pendant for me, using my late mum's gold wedding band and heirloom gems. I was fully involved in the process and she discussed different design options, tweaks and amendments until we came up with the perfect one. I couldn't be more pleased with the result, and using my mum's wedding band has made it even more special.”
