Oscar & Olivia is based in Manchester and we currently cover Cheshire, Liverpool, Merseyside, West Midlands, West Yorkshire and North Wales (anywhere within a 40 mile radius from Manchester) with in-person appointments.
We also offer virtual consultations for couples living further afield. In some instances we may then follow up with in person visits to customers elsewhere in the UK including Birmingham and London to the south and the Lake District to the north.
How do we book a consultation?
Simply complete our booking form and someone will reach out within 24 hours to discuss arrangements for your consultation. We usually offer home visits however if you are in the process of moving or would prefer to meet in an office environment this can be arranged between the hours of 9am and 5pm - we have access to any Regus office throughout the UK so we can generally find a convenient location for you.
Is there an option to meet you before a consultation?
We showcase our range at a number of wedding shows in the North West of England.If you are interested in meeting the team ahead of a consultation then we would love to meet you at one of these events.
Come along for a complimentary engagement ring clean, browse our collection and book your at-home consultation to receive personal guidance with your wedding ring selection during a visit to your home.

What times are consultations available?
Our consultations are generally available Tuesday to Friday 6pm or 8pm and on a Saturday 12.30pm, 2/2.00pm and 4/4.30pm
How long are wedding ring consultations?

Do we have to buy both our rings?
Our wedding ring consultations are no obligation. If you are only looking for one ring we are still happy to visit you.
Do we have to confirm a purchase during the meeting?
Absolutely not. With Oscar and Olivia there is never any pressure to buy, we hope that the quality of our service and product will be sufficient to help you make the right choice whether that be during our consultation or once you have given it further thought.
What does a consultation involve?
Your consultant will guide you through an extremely large range of gorgeous wedding rings and will ask the right questions in order to help you find your perfect match. Read more here.
Do you offer bespoke / shaped wedding rings?
Yes, Oscar & Olivia specialise in bespoke and shaped wedding rings. Find out how we match a wedding ring to your engagement ring or create a unique wedding ring design here.
Do you take a deposit for bespoke ring design?
Yes there is a lot of work that goes into producing visuals for your agreement so we ask for a £250 deposit at the consultation. This helps form an initial bond as we will be working together for a while sometimes. If you are not happy with finished designs we will return your deposit in full.
How long does bespoke or shaped wedding ring design take?
Your engagement ring will be back in your care within 7/10 days and your CAD image or images will follow 7/10 days after that. If you would like a wax model that will follow in around 3 weeks and if you require a silver sample please allow a further 3/4 weeks.
Is it safe to carry so much jewellery to consultations?
To protect our consultants all our samples are made in silver with CZ (Cubic Zirconia) stones rather than valuable golds and diamonds.

Yes this is absolutely fine. If this is before our planned schedule your rings will take approximately 4-6 weeks to make and deliver.
What happens if we need to cancel an order?
If your ring(s) has not been proceeded (which is generally 9 months before the wedding) then a full refund will be provided to the payment bank or card account. If the ring(s) has been proceeded then unfortunately all of the deposits are non refundable and only when fully paid can the ring(s) be released to you.
