I had the lovely pleasure of designing a one of one engagement ring for my wife. My wife liked the…read moreRing so much she didn't want to spoil it with a wedding band! That's your advertisement right there, 11 out of 10 product, people, and service. Designing the ring was a ton of fun, make sure that you're not in a rush. My wife works in healthcare so the owner had some recommendations that really made the ring come together and not interfere with her work. Little modifications so gloves don't tear when you put them on, making sure her hair never gets caught on the ring, little things like that. Every time I came to the store front I was met with smiles, you can really tell all the employees love their jobs and want nothing but the best for their customers. At the first design meeting I was up front about my budget, and the owner was very respectful and diligent when designing the ring around my budget. It was never brought up a second time. This made the process very enjoyable and stress free as I new exactly how much everything was going to cost. The owner went out of her way to order custom cut diamonds from New York that where so beautiful she bought them knowing that type of diamond doesn't come around very often. After the fact I can come into the store front when ever is most convenient for me and they will clean my wife's ring and give it a quick once over, if there is anything less than perfect they take care of it right away!

Wow. This place is THE place to take your jewellery to get repaired. The gentleman I initially…read moredealt with was very patient with me, and answered all my questions. He was super knowledgable and priced out various gem stones to replace the damaged one in my ring. I got the impression that he legitimately cared about repairing my ring and making sure I was completely satisfied, rather than making me feel like just another pleb off the street. My ring was repaired in a very timely manner, and the cost for the repairs was extremely reasonable.

I am recommending Fosters for the following reason. When I first went there I had a bad experience…read morein the customer service end of the business. I was not happy and phoned and spoke to David. I voiced my disappointment and David took me under his care. This turned my experience around. The care he put into turning my experience around and fixing the problems was above and beyond. The quality of the workmanship was exceptional, and the customer service ended up great. Sometimes we just have to give people a second chance to make things right. I would go back in a heartbeat and know David would make my experience wonderful every time.

Having been a loyal customer at Fosters for many years I discovered that Neil, who had always…read moreserved me well, had retired. I don't feel like his son had the same interest in serving the needs of a customer as his dad did. We actually purchased our wedding rings from Neil's father many decades ago. This store has a feeling of being very 'upper class only' since Neil left. Their hours are very limited and the service is a fraction of what it used to be. I now take my business elsewhere and will never set foot in that store again.
