    After comparing heaps of Jewellers I settled on working with N&V due to their emphasis on ethical sourcing of gems and honest approach. Jae worked closely with me remotely (in NZ - while I was in Australia) to bring the vision to life, helping me with many pedantic combinations and never making me feel like I was being a pain. To get this right, on such a big moment of our life, was so important to me. Jae made sure everything was explained and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. My partner adores the ring and couldn’t be happier. We got engaged in Turkiye and she had no idea! Thank you Nolan & Vada team (and especially Jae) for making such a great honest effort and warm experience for me. We will always treasure it. Karis (& Lucy❤️)

    I can’t even imagine having a better experience creating an Engagement ring! Rachel from the N&V team was absolutely amazing to work with and showed genuine interest and care from the first email query. Not only did Rachel take the time to work with me & figure out the perfect style of ring my now fiancé would love & also add some personal touches - she went over and above to help put me in touch with a photographer to capture the moment via her own personal connections. I always felt informed and up to date with the progress of the ring and was speechless to see the design come to life from the digital image to the physical ring. Thank you so much!

    We’re incredibly pleased with the results of working with Nolan and Vada on our engagement ring. The communication they’ve given has been top notch. They listened to the requests and worked extremely well and professionally despite covid restrictions around the world. The whole process has been easy and delightful. And the ring is so special. Thank you!

    My partner and I had a fantastic experience working with Nolan & Vada for an engagement ring, every step of the way! Our first encounter involved working virtually with Rachel from the design team (we're in the US). Rachel showcased her friendly demeanor and enthusiasm while guiding us through the process of selecting a ring style and center stone. She was down to earth and communicated with us in a way that did not feel pushy or rushed. Furthermore, she was incredibly patient when I asked to view multiple sapphires that had caught my eye on the website. After the appointment, she promptly answered any lingering questions that my partner and I had via email. Before long, the ring itself arrived beautifully packaged. Although I thought I had the sizing spot-on, I was slightly off and my ring had to be resized. The team at N&V helped guide me through the process of sending the ring to a trusted US-based jewelry repair/resizing company, free of charge. The company is a trusted provider for N&V and did a great job of resizing the ring in a timely manner. All around, my experience as a non-NZ based customer has been lovely and I recommend working with N&V!

    I bought a ring through Nolan and Vada while I was in Australia. The team and Nolan and Vada went above and beyond to craft the perfect ring. They did an amazing job from helping me finding the perfect sapphire to customising it to my specifications. The ring was sent without any issues and when I first saw it in person it was nothing short of perfect. I would recommend them to anyone!

    The N&V team are super helpful and made our ring design experience a breeze! The stone they helped us pick out is incredible - full of life and constantly changing colour from an almost electric blue to a warm green, (and everything in between!) They were super accommodating when we asked to alter the side profile of the design right before manufacturing, and it feels like I couldn't have ended up with a ring that felt more "me" than this one.

    It was an absolute pleasure working with Molly to design this ring for my fiancée and I! We went through many iterations until we found the perfect design to go with the gorgeous teal sapphire! I am so glad that I found Nolan & Vada, and beyond blessed to work with Molly!

    I stumbled on the N&V website while searching for green sapphires and ended up ordering a stone and setting without customization or consultation, because I live fast and dangerous like that hah. The included videos of the stone gave me confidence in the color play and how large the stone would sit on my finger. Happy to report that what I received was accurately represented, and maybe even better irl??! Idk, I had been staring at the ring all day yesterday and still today because of how perfect it is. My phone camera doesn't do this ring any justice. Shoutout to Jae who has been very communicative from day 1 with updates and the shipping process.

    Working with Jae to create the perfect engagement ring was a smooth process from the start to the finish. I gave Jae an important date to receive the ring by and she ensured that it was on time. Jae was very helpful in providing photos and videos of gemstones in different lightings to show off their unique array of colours. The final product is nothing short of exceptional! I was extremely happy with the ring and I catch my partner constantly looking at it. Highly recommend Jae and the team at Nolan and Vada. Professionalism and quality at it's finest!

    An oustanding, pleasant, easy and efficient online jewellery service and experience! I worked with Chloe from N&V exclusively online and via email to choose and purchase a sapphire, and have a custom engagement ring designed and made; 4 weeks leading up to Christmas time, and asking for the ring before Christmas. Chloe and the team at N&V were very happy to help with this time restricted request, no issues at all. Their replies, support and updates throughout the process were timely, and the service was true to its efficiency promise. It was truly seamless and hassle free. The N&V team created a perfect ring for my engagement. It was truly beautiful and everything I had hoped for. My fiance was very very happy. I will be returning come time for the custom wedding band to match. Highly recommend N&V for beautiful engagement rings and great service.

    Couldn’t recommend Nolan and Vada more highly. From design to execution, Chloe looked after us so well to deliver the perfect ring in a very compressed timetable. The process was extremely efficient and Chloe’s communication during was excellent.

    If you’re considering Nolan and Vada for your engagement ring or wedding band, DO IT! Absolutely incredible customer service, impeccable attention to detail and amazing creativity. My partner worked with Nolan and Vada to design my absolute dream (one of a kind) engagement ring. He said the process was seamless and felt supported the entire way. We then decided to work with Nolan and Vada for our wedding bands. We were lucky enough to have the support of the incredible Jae. The wonderful and super super patient Jae! Jae helped again to design my stunning and one of a kind wedding band that looks absolutely gorgeous with my engagement ring. Thank you so much for Jae and the entire Nolan and Vada team, you are just spectacular 🤍

    I had a wonderful experience working with Rachel, and I must say that she was incredibly nice and super helpful. She really took the time to listen to my needs and preferences, and gave me some great suggestions for the perfect ring. The engagement ring I ended up getting is absolutely stunning! The craftsmanship and quality are outstanding, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

  • 5/5 Mario M. 6 months ago on Google
    They had exactly what I was looking for in sapphires. The ring designs are also excellent. I am from the US and was a little hesitant in ordering from overseas but it was no inconvenience at all. Once shipped it was delivered faster than the expected date. Jae Masias worked with me through the whole process and was wonderful and pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Samuel A. 7 months ago on Google
    The design team were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Engagement rings are so difficult with most guys having no idea what they're doing except for a couple screenshots their partner has sent them. I was no exception and Jae showed genuine care and interest to interpret what my partner wanted and create it. I was kept in the loop throughout the design process with regular updates of what the ring would look like and it met that expectation and more. My partner absolutely loves her custom sapphire ring and the team worked hard to make sure I had it in time for our overseas trip. Thank you N&V team!

  • 5/5 Devon K. 8 months ago on Google
    Bought our engagement ring from Nolan and Vada a few months ago and the ring and the experience were both amazing. Rachel was fantastic to deal with and really helped me in the selection/customization process, and kept me updated during manufacturing. I also made use of the free resize after I guessed the wrong size, and was done quickly. Couldn't be happier!

  • 5/5 Teagan C. 1 year ago on Google
    I proposed to my girlfriend amongst the vines of a beautiful winery surrounded by family and friends. Her custom made forest green teal sapphire ring took her breath away and left her speechless. Nolan and Vada were exceptional during this process, their communication was excellent and so personable. It was so lovely to be able to share this moment with the staff who helped create the dream ring. I cannot recommend their professionalism and craftsmanship more highly.

  • 5/5 Mitchell M. 11 months ago on Google
    Alex was very friendly and made the process easy. She was great at keeping me up to date with the ring’s progress. The end result is beautiful and my fiancée loves it. Thanks again for the incredible work!

  • 5/5 Tony K. 2 years ago on Google
    Nothing but good words to say about this company. From the get go it was a really simple process. Tessa was excellent. We were fortunate enough to find a stone rather quickly that matched what we wanted. Pricing, customer service, and quickness to manufacture the ring were all top notch. Thank you Nolan and Vada for making this process very easy, highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Harrison S. 1 year ago on Google
    I was really nervous ordering an engagement ring from overseas, without even seeing it in person first, But, the Team at Nolan & Vada were so easy to deal with and it really made the process so stress free!! With constant manufacturing updates throughout the process to put my mind at ease - They were quick with replying, and just so friendly! I felt as if they were just as excited as me! Shipping was super quick and I received the ring very quickly in beautiful packaging! Im ecstatic with the ring they created for my partner (who absolutely loved it!!). Thanks so much Nolan & Vada!

  • 5/5 Rachel K. 1 year ago on Google
    My partner and I were so impressed with Nolan and Vada with every step of the process- the meeting, the email correspondence and of course, the end product. We highly recommend this company- especially if you want a ring/experience that is personal and unique to you! We both can’t stop looking at this beautiful ring!!!

  • 5/5 Rick A. 1 year ago on Google
    We had an amazing experience with Rachel and the team at Nolan & Vada designing our perfect ring. Rachel was extremely professional and helped us choose the final ring with the help of mock up designs and printed resins. The sapphire we chose is absolutely stunning and we both love our 'Trinity' ring. Would highly recommend to others.

  • 5/5 Travis D. 1 year ago on Google
    Nolan and Vada delivered beyond my expectations with a beautiful engagement ring. They were very good to work with during the design process, allowing me to provide numerous inputs and refine the ring down to the finest details. They provided good updates throughout the manufacturing process and the results truly speak for themselves. Thank you to the entire team, they deserve all the praise for such amazing work.

  • 5/5 Lachlan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a fantastic experience with Jae and the team at Nolan and Vada. From the initial video chat to discuss design options through to delivery, everything was super clear and easy. The ring is gorgeous and my partner and I could not be happier with the quality. I could not recommend highly enough, especially if you are someone like me who has no idea where to start in designing a ring 😉.

  • 5/5 Nicholas W. 1 year ago on Google
    Nolan and Vada did a great job of working with me for the ring I wanted. Every custom step I needed was implemented, every question I had answered even a little hiccup was quickly and professionally amended. The ring arrived sage and sound and it was stunning. She loves it. Thanks Nolan and Vada for helping create a very special moment in our lives.

  • 5/5 D V. 1 year ago on Google
    A big thank you to Rachel and the team at Nolan and Vada! From start to finish the service and communication you provided was fantastic. The ring itself was absolutely perfect and exactly what my partner (now fiancè !!) had always wanted :). It was made with such high quality and attention to detail and well exceeded my expectations. Thank you all so much for making this such a special experience.

  • 5/5 Morgan M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nolan and Vada was amazing to deal with from start to finish! We were very nervous about ordering a ring online without seeing it in person first, but the ordering process was so easy and the 360 view of the sapphires made it so much easier to choose one with the right colour. The team communicated with us every step of the way and whilst we did have a delay in manufacturing due to Covid, we were notified immediately and given an accurate revised date for the ring to be completed. The ring is gorgeous and we would highly recommend Nolan and Vada to anyone who was looking for their perfect ring!

    From start to finish I cannot rate the service I received from the Nolan and Vada team highly enough, with particular thanks to my sales and design consultant, Cyril, for her outstanding work and attention to detail. Throughout the process I was instilled with confidence that the greatest care would be taken to design and deliver a custom engagement ring with which I could propose. When it did arrive securely by mail, the real, finished product was more beautiful than I could have imagined, and the craftsmanship displayed by the Nolan and Vada jeweller(s) cannot be mistaken. Thank you Cyril and the team for a wonderful experience, right down to the handwritten note that accompanied the ring when it arrived. My fiancée and I couldn't be happier with the result!

    We had an amazing time working with Nolan and Vada on our custom ring. They were very accommodating of our ideas and their communication was excellent, responding in no time at all to all requests and questions. We were looking for a very specific and rare gem; and they were able to find us a truly stunning stone. Rachel was such a pleasure to work with, always full of positive energy and enthusiasm, and we look forward to working with her on the wedding band. Highly recommended if you are after a sapphire engagement ring!

    The service provided by Chloe was excellent. She was incredibly helpful and was really useful in navigating the process (I definitely know far more about rings now). The ring that Nolan and Vada produced is also exquisite and was produced with such care and attention. I would definitely recommend using Nolan and Vada.
