After talking with Dan for 15 minutes you will see the passion he has for this business. After listening to him, you will know more about diamonds than 95% of the staff in other shops. There was no comparison in service, quality and price. The ring always draws heaps of positive comments and is unlike anything I have ever seen. Absolutely stunning!
I never once felt like I was just another customer. I felt you really cared about my ideas and thoughts. The craftsmanship and attention to detail has to be applauded — dare I say, even outdoing the CAD images. The diamonds sparkle, boy do they sparkle. In a word, WOW!
As a medical doctor, I am used to noticing fine details. On calling Dan, it was immediately obvious he was the real deal — far more knowledgeable than any salesperson in regular stores. My fiancé receives no end of comments about it. The value from Polished Diamonds is amazing. I would never consider going anywhere else.
It’s absolutely stunning — she loved it and we were very impressed. I’ve passed on Polished Diamonds as the creators of the ring to all those who have asked and will be sure to be referring you to my other friends when they make the move.
$7,500 is a lot of money to entrust to anyone, especially someone I hadn’t met face to face! The ring is simply stunning — service and workmanship nothing but CLASS!! I will telephone anyone who needs confirmation regarding the integrity of Polished Diamonds.
I had been researching diamonds for a few months and found Polished Diamonds to be by far the best. The first phone call, Dan was wonderful — he explained everything about the process and the diamond, so I was assured I was getting great value. I will be calling back for my wedding and eternity ring.
Polished Diamonds made designing and buying an engagement ring very easy. The information and advice given was far superior to any retail store I contacted. The CAD modelling gives a clear image of exactly how the finished ring looks. Everyone who sees it is impressed with the quality of the craftsmanship.
Knowing that it can be quite risky buying online, I gave them a call. To my surprise, Polished Diamonds was extremely helpful on what to look for in a diamond, ring and my budget. I was kept up to date throughout the entire process. I’m totally satisfied with my purchase.
The engagement ring is stunning. I’m so amazed! My partner still hasn’t seen it and has no idea I have it, so it should be a total surprise when I decide to bring it out. I still haven’t quite gotten over how beautiful it is!!!!
Thanks for my gorgeous anniversary ring, I just love it. I’m having a Friday wine and enjoying the view from my sparkly diamonds. Thank you for all your help — will definitely be recommending Polished Diamonds, but I’m sure my new ring will do all the advertising!
The service was absolute quality, and so was the manufacturing of the ring. I won’t hesitate to recommend Polished Diamonds to friends and family.
My thanks are particularly for restoring my grandmother’s art deco onyx ring. You clearly discussed the various options and prices, and the end result has been absolutely fabulous — the compliments received on the ring are ongoing. I have had no trouble recommending you to anyone.
Just to let you know, my fiancée Jessica collected the ring smoothly on Saturday. She finds it brilliant and loves it very much. Thank you once again for a most pleasant journey on our engagement ring search.
I picked up the ring, and it is now firmly planted on my finger. I absolutely love it. Thanks again for all you did!
Thanks for all your help in organising both engagement and wedding rings. We had a great day and the rings looked amazing!
Got the ring and she is delighted with it — looks like I’ll be hitting you up again for a wedding band in the near future. I’m delighted with the quality of the ring and will be recommending you to all my friends.
Everything went smoothly, and she said yes! Looking forward to catching up in the near future to discuss wedding bands.
We had the best experience with Polished Diamonds. The design process was super easy — we viewed the CAD model and the finished result was identical. Don’t go anywhere else, this firm is the best.
Excellent customer service and product range. Will definitely buy again — I am absolutely delighted with my diamond.
We had our grandmother’s ring restored and the result was amazing. The gemstones sparkle and the gold was built up with intricate hand millgrain beading. Top job from an expert jeweller — we highly recommend.
