2009: The ring did indeed arrive safely and it is perfectly everything I'd ever dreamed and more. My fiancé is over the moon and I'm sure any description I give of her reaction would be understated. I received the ring on Monday and surprised her with it on Tuesday. The ring is absolutely and in all ways perfect. We are both very very happy with the masterful result you achieved. I think the previously discussed carving would have made the overall look too busy and distracted from the elegant simplicity of the diamond trio.

2009: The ring arrived safely yesterday and is stunning. And what made it better is that Tracey (My fiancee) loves it as much, if not more, than I do. Thank you so very much for it – I'm already looking at buying more from you in the future.

2009: Thank you, have received all it looks amazing! May have to tighten the headpiece ever so slightly, thank you for the tips! I probably won’t drink out of the horn all night. I imagine I or my boyfriend will wear it more as part of the costume than for a cup, although I am planning on setting it up on display in my house afterwards! I am really looking forward to my party, and I cannot thank you enough for all the special personal touches you have helped bring! Again, I will be sure to send you a photo of your work in action!

2009: Picked up my snake chain from the post office yesterday.  White Gold is so dense for the size, it feels so nice. I wore it at work rather then leave the envelope lying around. I think I will save up for a yellow gold one in 18ct as well.

2009: from Switzerland: Good Day, I received the ring today (without additional customs duty). It looks as I had hoped for - and fits perfectly! Original: Guten Tag, ich habe heute den Ring (ohne zusätzliche Zollkosten) erhalten. Er sieht aus, wie ich es mir erhoffte - und passt bestens! Mit herzlichem Dank und mit freundlichen Grüßen

2008: just wanted to let you know, that the ring has been picked up today and the lady was absolutely enthusiastic about your wonderful work. The ring looks phantastic on her hand. (Original: Wollte Euch nur schnell mitteilen, dass der Ring heute abgeholt wurde und die Dame total begeistert war von Deiner wunderbaren Arbeit. Der Ring sieht phantastisch aus an ihrer Hand.)

2008: Thank you so much for the wonderful bells. Their color is brilliant and their weight will be just right for the costume. I love that they are larger then the pictures on your website. I will show them around the museum and my husband loves them as well. When my costume is finished I will send you a pic. for your collection or website. Thank You Again. They are lovely and true works of art.

2008: I just had to write and tell you what a success the silver toothpick has been with my husband. He was absolutely delighted. It is very much better than the previous one he had that broke and he says that not only is a pleasure to use but he can see that the quality is so much better. Once again, many thanks and I would now like to order another one for my son.

2008: I found your site just by chance and luck. I was searching for a particular design of opal ring -- something to replace a ring that I lost. Up popped your site, and the beautiful eucalyptus pieces stopped me right in my tracks, as we say in the US. Now I feel as though I've found friends!! Thank you both so much, for your kindness and for the wonderful correspondence.

2007: Thank you so much for creating my beautiful new jewellery with mum's diamonds. I wear them every day with pleasure. You both showed compassion & understanding in your dealings with me and your pride in your work and your professional approach is to be commended. I hope the positive (wow!) comments I have had from my friends creates business for you

2007: Package has arrived safely - BEAUTIFUL - we are very happy with the ring. We showed it to our friends and neighbours.

2006: Thank you, thank you, thank you for such a Beautiful Ring. The effort and care you put into your work shows - I will show it off with pride. I look forward to our 2nd anniversary!!"

2005: Thank you for the beautiful pearl earrings you have made for me. They are just what I envisaged.

2005: Dearest Martin & Dorte, Thank you so much for our beautiful rings. We absolutely love the engagement ring. We get lots of comments about how antique and traditional it looks. The wedding rings are also doing their job. D. has become quite attached to his and I think it will stay on his finger for good. Thanks again for your time and contribution to our marriage. All our love  P&D

2005: Thank you so much for making my lovely necklace, and also to Dörte for the beading. It will be perfect for my outfit for L&G’s wedding one month from today. Hope to see you both when down South sometime again.         Many Thanks K.

2008: I just wanted to let you know that the gift's recipient was absolutely delighted with it!
Thank you so much for your prompt, helpful service.

2008 from Portugal: Bom dia, Let me say this: PERFECT, EXTRAORDINARY. You are artists. As you can understand, I've got the rings. I also want to thank for the beautiful postcard. When I saw my Ouroboros, I was without words (sem palavras). What can you say of something that you dream, and you saw it. THANK YOU. You are part of my present and the future of my family. I will send pictures of my wedding. P.S.: If some day, I went to Australia, we would be very happy to meet you. Like I said in past mail, if you need something from me or Portugal, I am at your disposal.

2009 from France: Here is the happy end of the story: we finally received the parcel yesterday! It had been held by the French Customs... in Paris, while we were waiting for it in Marseille! Actually the parcel had been there for several weeks but we hadn't been informed of this because of the strike in Marseille! We had to pay taxes but we are glad to finally get the ring and all this mess will remain as a funny story in our wedding memories. In any case, thank you very much for your help. We won't forget you!

2009 from the Netherlands: Today I recieved the Ouroboros ring. It is amazing! Very high quality, a beautiful piece with the ruby eyes. I really enjoy it now. Many thanks.

2006: Thank you so much for the Ouroboros Rings! They arrived in time and were absolutely perfect!  My friend was looking for an Ouroboros Ring for years already. He couldn't stop smiling for the entire day, he was so happy, and mine is now keeping my fingers company. They're absolutely gorgeous, and I can't thank you enough. You certainly made my day, and his.

2008: Received my ring this afternoon, very happy with it, exactly what I wanted, it was a pleasure dealing with you, I’ll recommend you to friends.

2008 from the Netherlands: It looks exactly like I hoped it would.

2007: I just wanted to let you know that the Ouroboros ring arrived safely and it's lovely.  It is my fiancée's engagement ring and he's very happy with it.  Thank you so much!

2007: Hi just to let you both know the ring arrived today and its great very pleased with it thank you both  its being a pleasure dealing with you thanks and good luck to both of you

2007: just a quick note to tell you that the Ouroboros rings arrived safe and sound and are even more beautiful than I imagined. Thank you. I will happily recommend you to anyone.

2007: In the late 80s we had a comedy Si Fi show over here in England, called red dwarf. In one episode a box of supplies was found with the word Ouroboros and above it a snake eating its own tail. Dave Lister one of the crew explains to the rest of the crew the meaning of the symbol. After that I was hooked. Did some research and found out: it is so diverse a symbol and is used in many cultures from Ancient Egypt, American Indians to Norse Mythology in Europe. I have a great picture of a winged serpent, it is very old so I don't know when it was painted but it looks so like my ring. PS Ouroboros is from Cleopatra's Chrysopoeia, which means gold making.

2006: Thank you. I was looking for snake jewelry. Rereading Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, a book which I recommend highly, reminded me of the vast amount of religious symbolism surrounding snakes. I always especially like Quetzalqoatl, the winged serpent god of Mesoamerica. Seraphim-type angels are also described as winged serpents somewhere, I think one of the Zoroastrian or non-canonical Muslim books. Anyway, the problem with snake jewelry is that it doesn't move, and divorced of the movement, a snake shape is kind of wimpy. Either that, or it's the bad-ass biker cobra look, which wasn't what I wanted either. What I loved about your design was the wings. It also made me laugh, because this is clearly a very young Ouroboros, which hasn't figured out yet that it has to swallow its tail, not simply bite it. That's just too cute. It's like, even eternal, self-sufficient beings have to find their way. And that's what I think about us all.

2008: Translation: Hallo!!! Yesterday the parcel with the ring (pendant) arrived. I am totally wrapped in reality it looks even nicer than on the photos. Now she only has to say yes. Many thanks !!!! PS. Will tell you the answer !!!    -    Hallo!!! The answer to my proposal was "Yes". The pendant was a great hit with my bride to be. So thank you again and much success with the rings!!!!    Original: Hallo!!! Gestern ist der Brief mit dem Ring (Anhänger) bei mir angekommen. Bin total begeistert in echt sieht er noch schöner aus als auf den Fotos. Nun muß sie nur noch ja sagen. Vielen Dank !!!! PS. Antwort teile ich mit !!!    -    Hallo!!! Die Antwort auf den Heiratsantrag war "Ja" . Der Anhänger ist sehr gut angekommen bei meiner Zukünftigen. Also nochmals danke und weiter viel Erfolg mit den Ringen!!!!
