Finding a jeweller who was able/willing to work with these materials and custom make Modern-Vintage designs also proved to be a headache. Finally, we contacted Moi Moi Fine Jewellery - QVB. Not only clearly highly professional, but we found them very approachable too. They worked with us to come up with the perfect design to suit my fiancé's refined tastes. When the rings were ready, we went to the Queen Victoria Building excited but a little nervous because the design and engravings were highly intricate and would have required considerable skill to fashion. As it turned out, these rings were absolutely exquisite. Queen Victoria herself would have been impressed. If you want real quality. Approachable and very knowledgeable jewellers to create something truly special, we would recommend Moi Moi Fine Jewellery without hesitation.

While traveling in Sydney, I knew I wanted to find an opal and diamond white gold pendant to come…read morehome to the states with me. (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.

If you are in the market for diamonds or some decent jewellery think outside the ring box and…read moreinstead of being lured into a retail jewellery store it almost always pays to get quotes from a manufacturing jeweller. The advantages of going to a manufacturing jeweller are numerous: you can get something designed and therefore unique; it's hand-crafted; the quality of the metals, stones and craftsmanship is superior; you don't pay mark-ups and you can build a life-time relationship with the jeweller (rather than a store assistant that may not be there when you need something next time). And these jewellers can remodel old jewellery as well. Some people shy away from manufacturing jewellers because they believe they can be too expensive. In the world of jewellery you don't always get what you pay for so why not spend an extra couple of $100s to get the better stone, setting and metal than paying for a cheap mass produced piece? Believe me - she will know the difference! But that's not saying that if you are on a budget the jeweller will refuse to work with you - they will. Another advantage is that you will almost always get internationally recognised certificates for any precious stones (for insurance or re-sell purposes) from a manufacturing jeweller. Ken Anania of Anania is a reputable manufacturer and design jeweller and acknowledged as one of Sydney's best. He ticks all of the above boxes and the business has been going since 1965 when his father started it when he specialised in opal. Guys like Ken are in business for a long time because of reputation (and he has been in the business since he joined his father in 1978), because they have a clientele that not only go back but refer others to him. Engagement ring - no worries - select the stone and the style and if you can't pay upfront just give him a deposit and the ring will be kept in his safe until the big proposal. New jewellery doesn't also need to be an option. Ken can remodel jewellery by using the stones and metals in the old to handcraft something new. Stuck for inspiration? Ken also has jewellery already made and for sale in his showroom and it is beautiful (it sometimes features in Vogue magazine). You don't need an appointment but of course if you need Ken's opinion and need to work on a design with him then setting a time after the first consult is of course advisable. I can't recommend Ken more highly for handcrafted jewellery and expertise.

Inside the boutique is unparalleled in design and oozes luxury and elegance. Until the end, I didn't know I was being attended by Suellen Gregory and I highly recommend getting an appointment with her if you're planning on buying a diamond. She is extremely professional and offered excellent service. I was interested in purchasing a pink diamond and although they didn't have that in store, I quickly found another diamond earring to fall in love with. Suellen was friendly and explained so many finer points about their Diamond collection and grading process. Currently there is a sale on some displayed jewellery and she offered me a generous discount on the princess cut earrings. When it comes to high end luxury items, service makes all the difference and Suellen definitely knows that. Now I wish my birthday would hurry up and come along, so I can buy myself a beautiful diamond.

The view from Carmel by the sea was beautiful and we were able to see the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean. The view was worth it, but the ring I got when my (now fiancé) proposed was the objective for driving to the beautiful California coast. Little did I know that many months beforehand he had collaborated with award winning jewelry designer Jason Ree to create my perfect engagement ring (I wanted something that was classic, but modern and simple at the same time). My fiancé raved about how great the experience was, working with Jason when they were designing the ring. He said that Jason and his staff were very helpful and extremely knowledgeable about the process, from choosing the right diamond for the style of the ring to picking the right width and ratio of the band. The custom ring turned out perfect and I am now working on creating our wedding rings with Jason. The bespoke experience is very personal and Jason makes you feel comfortable with the whole process. Can't recommend him enough.

To the lovely Claudia who assisted me, I am beyond thrilled with my engagement ring! It's taken me…read moreso long to find just the right size, color, and design to fit with my plain gold wedding band (we bought our wedding rings first, funny enough). Upon entering the shop area, I was taken aback by just how delicate and beautiful all of the items were. So cute, so precious. All of the glittering treasures distracted me for quite a while. I couldn't help but look at every item on display. I knew instantly that I would find what I had in mind. I was searching for something simple and classic yet not quite the norm. There was no question that I'd end up with an emerald (considering that my last name will soon be 'Green'), but just a matter of whether or not there would be a jeweler that had decent emerald rings with yellow gold bands rather than silver. More often than not, if a location did have rings that met those standards, the rings seemed somewhat cheap-looking. Stone too big, setting too strange, dull gold, etc. To top it off, I have large knuckles and rather bony fingers to consider, making ring sizing a major issue. Not only did Claudia give me an accurate ring sizing, she let me try on the ring that caught my eye, along with one of the plain gold wedding bands on display to mimic how my wedding band would fit beside it (we had ordered our wedding rings but they wouldn't arrive until later in the month). She gave me her honest opinions and was incredibly patient, explaining the processes of care plans and resizing within the business, as the ring only came in larger sizes and would have to be made from scratch to fit my finger. I was given a strikingly accurate wait time for when my specially made ring would arrive, and only just picked it up. It was late evening when we left the shop, and the setting sun provided a stunning warm light which made the emerald glow nicely. I shall definitely be returning for more jewelry in the future!
