Ovadia

Ovadia is a family-run jeweller with a showroom at 20 Hatton Garden, the heart of London's jewellery quarter. It makes engagement rings, wedding bands and eternity rings, many of them bespoke, in its own workshop on site, and also sells loose diamonds and fine jewellery.

Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples

Bespoke work means you are not limited to a catalogue labelled for one type of couple. You can design matching or complementary rings for both of you, and see the pieces being made. The website also has a dedicated LGBT collection. Ovadia is a strong fit for couples who want rings designed around them by a small, hands-on team.

What they offer

• Bespoke engagement rings
• Wedding bands and eternity rings
• Natural diamonds with GIA reports and lab-grown diamonds with IGI reports
• Setting your own stones and remodelling older pieces
• Resizing, repairs, polishing and re-plating
• Earrings, necklaces, bracelets and pendants

How they work

You can walk in during opening hours, but bespoke consultations are best booked by phone or WhatsApp. The first meeting covers style, stones, sizing and budget. A designer then prepares sketches or a 3D render for you to approve. The stones are sourced, three in-house craftsmen make the piece by hand, and you can view the work in progress. Bespoke rings usually take three to six weeks from the approved design.

Where they cover

The showroom is in Hatton Garden, close to Farringdon and Chancery Lane stations. Most clients collect in person, although delivery can be arranged.
