Our Story

Hi there! I’m Ollie, co-founder of Flinn & Steel, and let me tell you how it all started. Back in the day, Flinn & Steel was just a little idea cooked up by me and my wife Jess, running it out of our Peak District home. Fast forward a few years, and here we are—a thriving small business with a team of 20 incredible people. Pretty cool, right?

It all kicked off with a bit of a disaster. Picture this: Jess had just picked up four shiny stainless steel rings from a supplier in Sheffield. Everything’s fine, and then poof — the rings vanish. Completely gone. With weddings on the horizon and no way to replace them, panic set in. That’s when I said, “Why don’t we make our own rings?”

A week later, there’s a lathe in the house, and I’m knee-deep in learning how to craft rings. What started as a one-off solution turned into something much bigger, and just like that, Flinn & Steel was born. Jess brought the business brains, I brought the workshop skills, and together we created something we’re ridiculously proud of.

These days, we’ve outgrown my old workshop (it’s probably for the best, honestly), but we’re still all about the same things: offering wedding rings made from epic materials like titanium, carbon fibre, tungsten, and Damascus steel. Rings that look amazing, last a lifetime, and don’t follow the usual “traditional” rules. We now work with some of the most talented artisan makers and specialist workshops across the UK and Europe to make sure every ring is crafted to perfection.

We’re based in Sheffield—the beating heart of steel craftsmanship. Our showroom sits in the leafy suburb of Tapton, and we’re loving every second of welcoming couples who want something a bit different. All are welcome here, and we’re here to help you find a ring that feels like you. 

So that’s us. Thanks for being part of our exciting journey—we can’t wait to see where it takes us next, thanks for being here!
