Hold on, not so fast! You've got to read this if you're looking for an engagement ring... I've just gone through the engagement process myself, including purchasing an engagement ring. Being that I'm the kind of person which has always liked getting the best quality products I can afford, I did extensive research on the details of ring and diamond quality, and where the best value is offered in NZ. Believe me, it's not in mass-produced chain jewellery stores... In my search, I happened to discover Diamonds.co.nz, run by Paul, a qualified gemologist, and his wife. The more I read, the more I was impressed with what I saw. They offered custom-built designs of significantly higher quality than any chain jewellery store I had visited could offer at the same price. In my case, that included 18 karat gold settings and diamonds of significantly higher cut quality and inclusion limitations. I decided to take the plunge and place an order on a solitaire-style ring with Diamonds.co.nz. And WOW, what an amazing process it has been! From the moment the order was placed and the almost instantaneous response, right through to updates on the progress and receiving the final product, I was treated with first-class service. I never felt like I was dealing with a cold business, it felt like dealing with friends. Paul was always willing to answer questions, and even made an extra effort to get the ring completed before my proposal date. And the ring... My goodness. It was every bit as good as it appeared on their website, and better. Having visited many chain stores and seen a number of solitaire engagement rings, I can positively say the quality of this ring was by far the best out of any I'd seen, anywhere near the same price point. Breathtakingly beautiful, and finished to absolute perfection, my Fiancé and I have absolutely no regrets! In addition to this, Paul provided a complimentary diamond ring valuation report, processed via the standards of an independent organisation. And unsurprisingly, the valuation turned out to be almost double the price I paid for the ring... Epic! If you have any hesitation about purchasing from Diamonds.co.nz, allow me to settle you. You will struggle to find better quality and value than this anywhere in New Zealand. And if that doesn't convince you, check out their other reviews - mine is only one of many (almost exclusively) 5-star reviews. I couldn't be happier. A huge thank you to Paul and his team!

Claudia worked with my partner to design the most perfect engagement ring I could have asked for. She was amazing helping us design our wedding bands too. Honestly very thankful, it makes it so so much more special being able to design your forever ring!! Thank you so much again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Everything about this experience was perfect. Being able to choose the diamond and compare prices of stones, metals and settings online is pressure free and gives you plenty of time to choose exactly what you want. I arranged to collect at the airport which was a smooth process and to top it off my fiance absolutely loves her ring. After finding Diamonds.co.nz I picked up the phone and talked to Claudia, she was friendly, knowledgeable and relaxed which was the exact opposite of the experience I had when looking in jewelry stores. Furthermore you get way better value for money than the stores. I cannot recommend them enough!

Really happy with the whole experience! Paul and Claudia were lovely to deal with and helped my fiancé choose the perfect ring. Also had no problem getting a matching wedding band. Highly recommend!

I have recently designed an engagement ring through this company and personally dealt with Claudia Bunker. She was absolutely amazing, very patient with all of my queries and really helpful in working with me to design the right ring and diamond and didn't just try sell me a product. Would highly recommend Claudia and my partner loved the ring. Thanks again.

Paul is a legend - incredible service throughout the whole process. Great family owned business. Highly recommend.

Paul and his team are fantastic! I received my ring and was so impressed from start to finish an easy process and the end result is fantastic

Appreciation from a very satisfied customer for the professional advice regarding diamonds and ring selection. service with attention to detail and enormous patience to verify customer requirements and concerns. Highly recommended to all potential customers.

I would definitely recommend Diamonds.co.nz to all of my friends. Paul the owner of the company is very professional. He offered me a very reasonable price on the diamond as well as the settings. Saved me thousands of dollars at least.

Great services, incredible experiences with kind of stones and passionate with all the questions from our queries. We extremely thrilled with recent purchased

The ring I purchased from diamonds.co.nz is unbelievable, my fiancee cant stop staring at it. The process was a lot of fun, scrolling through the diamonds, comparing price, quality, colour etc it meant I was able to select the perfect diamond which really payed off in the final product. It was also very personal because of the ability to choose which my fiancee loved. Some people thought buying without actually seeing the ring was risky, but the team was there to help, and there is no way I could have afforded a ring of this quality from a conventional store.

Great experience dealing with Diamonds.co.nz. Shopping online can be stressful when ordering new bath towels, let alone a diamond. But Claudia maintained great communication and in the end I received the exact stone I was after!

Good service and value! Thanks Paul for the effective communication and delivering the ring on a tight timeframe

I couldn't recommend diamonds.co.nz enough, Claudia and the team were very friendly, helpful and efficient - and delivered my gorgeous engagement ring, made to my exact specifications, for a really great price. My fiance and I were thoroughly impressed with them and we'd recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing diamond. Thanks so much!

After making an online enquiry wanting to meet a staff member in person to discuss my requirements Claudia responded to me and offered locations and times to meet. We meet and her help was so useful it helped the pressure of purchasing the engagement ring a breeze...... Comms via email were quick and full of info. I would recommend to anyone looking for diamonds or the perfect engagement ring contact Claudia you won’t be disappointed 💯

Where does one start when talking and reviewing Paul and his team. Firstly I'd like to acknowledge there ain't enough stars to showcase the efforts and efficiency Paul and his team produced while making the ring. He went above and beyond. My situation was probably different to most but the outcome was second to none. He catered to the fact i wasn't living in the NZ at this time and still produced a product that exceeded my expectations. Choosing the stone to the design of the ring, was made a breeze by the crew. My soon to be wife couldn't get over how beautiful the ring was. I would HIGHLY recommend Paul and his team at Diamonds.co.nz when choosing a ring. Thank you again Paul 🙌🏾
