Ring is great
Ring is great, and exactly met my requirements. Fast service. My concern is with the courier used. They delivered this high value by just laying it on my doorstep, didn't even ring the doorbell.

I lost my wedding ring over a year ago and have been looking for a replacement for some time but nothing seemed right and the ones that I did want were just too expensive! I then found the William May website and found my perfect ring which was pre owned and the price was perfect. It arrived the next day and was even better in real life. It is absolutely perfect and I would highly recommend them for a fantastic service.
