I stepped into Zamel's looking for a sapphire ring. A la Duchess of Cambridge Style. They had so…read moremany rings with slight variations in design and size, I was impressed. I was particularly astonished when the sales assistant informed me that the two rings next to each other virtually identical differed vastly in price, as one was a real sapphire and the other a synthetic sapphire. When I looked at the rings, they looked pretty much the same to me, and having no way of being able to distinguish which one was real, I decided not to buy it. The product may not be the best, but their service was very good. The sales assistant was professional and patient in explaining the differences. They also let me try on the rings at leisure and presented sizes to help me decide better.

I pinged several jewellers and Diamond Emporium wasn't the first to get back to me, but by far the most attentive. I tried GS Diamonds, Larsen Jewellery, and Royal Diamonds and decided to go with Diamond Emporium. I was aided by Shelley and she was absolutely wonderful. I gave her the specifications of what I was looking for and my budget and she came back straight away with recommendations. While the diamonds weren't in the store, they had similar ones for me to look at so I popped straight in. While there she answered every question I had and everything was done with ease and seamlessly. Once I decided on a diamond and setting, I put a deposit down and she told me it would take up to 10 working days to come in. It ended up taking about 5; talk about delivering! I came in and had a look, and the diamond was just as expected, beautiful. Shelley checked up frequently to make sure things were going well, and I proposed on Jan 26th. Thanks in part to the great diamond, I am now engaged. While the ring fit initially, it loosened up a bit and we came back in for a resizing that was also seamless and done with ease at no extra cost.

(Spoiler alert, it is currently around my neck and I haven't even left the country yet.) I had a Thursday afternoon to shop and did a quick Yelp search to find the right jeweler, so I wouldn't be flying blind in a city I had only been to once before. I found both Varoujan and Australian Diamond Brokers and am so thrilled I did. I immediately felt comfortable with everyone I met and never felt like I was being sold to at any point. Most importantly, their pieces were stunning. I mean, truly, truly stunning. The first pendant I was presented was beyond incredible, which also meant it was larger than I wanted and a bit more pricey. Immediately after, I was presented with an oval shaped blue opal surrounded by diamonds that was instantly the one! After they worked with me on price, and offered to turn around a new chain within a day, I was sold and over the moon. Now, just one day later and with said pendant happily dangling from my neck, I am an ecstatic customer. The extra bonus is I showed Varoujan a ring I wear that I've never really loved. (Family diamond that I DO love in a setting that doesn't do it justice.) I asked his advice for what he'd do to highlight the diamond and within minutes he had drawn a beautiful design that I'm in love with. I am incredibly thankful for that extra help and advice. Bottom line...a wonderful experience. I would give more stars if I could.

Myself and my partner are extremely pleased with the ring and will be returning for our wedding bands and more in the years to come.

They will often do the repair work while you wait, and the ring I had made was actually made on premises, not outsourced to China like all the other jewellers I checked out. When I went to collect the finished piece and he told me the price I thought I'd misheard it was so cheap. He cleaned my rings, a necklace and a pair of earrings as well, and did it for free! I thought this was unacceptable since it took him about 45mins so I had to force money into his hand and run out of the store. A rare gem in the sharky world of jewellers.

We decided to surprise them and buy them the rings but save them for Christmas gifts since they were very pricey. They were so excited Christmas morning they cried.

I contacted the company and explained what happened and they don't respond at all. I am devastated as these were their first "big girl" jewelry gifts and the ladies in the store sold us garbage lieing saying it was high quality opals and gold rings that would last a lifetime with years and years of beauty.

My wife had seen someone wearing a simple opal ring earlier in our trip and could not get it out of her mind. The nasty high-pressure sales person at Opal Cutters told us that we'd never find what we were looking for. Well, Spectrum Gems had exactly what my wife was looking for - in fact they had 5 or 6 rings for her to chose from! Earlier in our trip we had bought my wife a beautiful bolder opal necklace so we were looking for something in the lower price range but still nice. This is a very nice store with no pressure to buy and beautiful pieces in a wide variety of price ranges. Next time we go back to Sydney, we'll definitely be back to buy more here. (Plus the Arcade is very picturesque)
