I'm so glad I took their (expert) advice, they were absolutely right! Thanks to everyone at Daniella Jewellers!

I should probably avoid The Family Jewels…read more No, not just because the name makes me giggle (I know), but because I want to buy up the entire store! (In)conveniently located next door to Ariel Bookstore and across the road from Palace Verona, this dangerously well-stocked shop is filled to the brim with gorgeous gems and "must-have" accessories (the inverted commas represent the process of justification that I go through every time I visit) that make for great gifts...and even better treats for yourself! So far I've been able to limit myself to the odd pair of earrings - and I've even managed to actually gift the presents I've bought (sometimes that's easier said than done). Suffice it to say, The Family Jewels is well worth a visit - but you've been warned!

If you're looking for a special piece of jewellery, whether it be a gift for your mum, your…read moregirlfriend or yourself, The Family Jewels is well worth a search. You can find this treasure chest down the Victoria Road end of Oxford Street - keep an eye out for the turquoise and black shopfront and a display window full of gorgeous pieces. They've got an excellent range of silver, such as pendants, earrings and rings, as well as semi-precious stones, birthstones and pearls. They also do jewellery repairs including ring resizing and necklace restringing. (Perfect for neglectful goofballs like me who break necklaces constantly.) They stock their collections with pieces from all over the world - they recently added the Zuni range to the shelves, which features jet, turquoise, silver, coral and mother of pearl from New Mexico.

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!

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.

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.
