We cannot fault the service we recieved from begininng to end. After 5 years of marriage i still get comments from strangers about my unique, oustanding and special diamond rings. We would not go to any other jeweller and are incredibly grateful to Varouj and his team. Memories, experiences and moments are so important for us and recieving our rings from Varouj on our special wedding day in Fiji was something we will not forget. My engagement ring is the highest of quality, D colour, Clarity SI1 & Excellent Cut. My Husbands ring is one of a kind with a combination of 27 Black diamonds and 12 White Diamonds. Thank you Varouj!

I wanted to buy matching stones to make matching earrings for the pendant. During our stay, we visited several jewelry stores in the Rocks and CBD areas of Sydney. None of the jewelry stores we visited compared with Giulians. Giulians is a family-owned, jeweler-operated jewelry store located on the third floor of the Four Seasons Hotel. Their jewelry is unique and beautifully crafted. The owner and his son are very talented jewelers with a passion for gemstones and jewelry. Although located in a four-star hotel (which initially caused me to think their prices would be higher than jewelry stores located on the streets), their prices were reasonable and the quality of their gemstones and jewelry was exemplary. I purchased a beautiful pair of exquisite opal stones that matched my pendant perfectly.

(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.

They carry both opals and South Sea pearls, in addition to having a few sapphires, so mineralogically, you're covered for Australian gem souvenirs. The staff are friendly and eager to tell you about opals; jewelry ranges from stunning and incredibly expensive to actually quite affordable (ask for the opals set in sterling silver). The salesclerk who was watching me not only told me they were having a sale, but whipped out her calculator without me asking to convert the price into US dollars (the first question in any tourist-oriented store is always "where are you from?"). She volunteered that they could do the tax-free paperwork in the store and explained exactly how it worked. (I recommend this; no standing in line at the airport.)

The most precious opals in Australia come from Lightning Ridge, Queensland, and Coober Pedy. Coober Pedy comes from the Aboriginal language and means "white man in a hole." The miners and their families live underground to escape the brutal summer heat of the Australian Outback, hence the name of the city. It was so interesting to learn more about these precious gems from Lucy at Cosmopolitan Jewellers. The famous Black Opals from Lightning Ridge. The unique Queensland Boulder Opals filled with brilliant colors. The stunning milky white opals from Coober Pedy. Lucy gave us what turned out to be a two hour lesson in the history of opals. So amazing to see so many different types of opals. We were even able to hold a precious black opal that cost $330,000 AUD. Just stunning. Thank goodness my dad didn't drop it!! The store sells both set and loose opals as well as South Sea pearls, pink diamonds and other precious gems. They have beautiful items at many different price points. It is located along the historic Rocks area in the Central Business District. Thanks to Darryl at Real Sydney Tours and Lucy at Cosmopolitan Jewellers for a great experience learning more about opals. My mom loves her beautiful opal earrings that I gave her for her 60th wedding anniversary.
