After having researched diamonds and visting many Jewlers I finally came upon the Original Diamonds. We were very impressed by the web site and all the information it provided.
Been a bit concerned about purchasing a ring across the internet I gave John a call his manner and professionalism on the phone immediately put me at rest.
Although we had a good idea what we wanted he suggested we visit his studio. Although Original Diamonds only open Monday to Friday but as we were in London for the weekend, John arranged to open up on a Saturday morning to facilate our plans.
We meet John on the Saturday morning and after 2 hours of a very informative lesson on diamonds and been shown a very large variety of stones from well within our budget to well over it we finally decided on a stone and 18k gold setting.
The ring could not be made up that day but as we needed the ring for the big announcement to the families the followng weekend John guranteed us it would arrive in time and true to his word it arrived on my desk in work a day earlier than promised.
Since the ring has arrived we have received numerous comments on how beautiful the ring is and where we got it. I have had no problem in recommending John and Original diamonds to anyone. They could not have been more helpful or professional in their dealings with us.
Thanks again,
Kevin & Lesley

After having researched loose diamonds for 9 months we finally decided upon Original Diamonds. We were very impressed by the web site, it was very easy to search for various stones. We were dubious about buying from the internet so we had a meeting in London with James. He was extremely helpful and a very pleasant person to deal with. They made a ring for us to our own specification and made the process so easy. We would and have recommended James and his father John for any jewellery purchase. Thank you so much to you both.

I am a diamond lover and have a little bit of knowledge about them, so when it came time to choose a ring, my boyfriend (now my fiance!)knew I wasn't going to settle for any old diamond (being together for 6 and a half years has earnt me this right)!
Living in regional NSW we didn't have a lot of jewellers to browse through, so the internet was very useful to us. The Original Diamonds website was the best one we found and we loved the fact that you could enter your specifications and be given a list of diamonds to meet your needs/budget.
When we did look at a couple of local places, we were shown stones that were obviously inferior. A lady at one place showed us one with a very visible inclusion. When I pointed it out, she said "Oh, no one except you will notice that". I doubt it, but even so, I would be the one who would be having to see it on my finger for the rest of my life! Another guy tried to get me to change the shape we were looking for (cushion cut) because he couldn't source any!
When we had the chance to visit Brisbane, we arranged a meeting and called in at the workshop. This was a fantastic experience because both Nick and Jason took time out of their day to sit and talk to Richard and I about the design we liked and diamonds in general. We really got a lot out of the experience because we were shown grading stones to get an idea of colour and I tried on a couple of rings that had already been made up to get an idea of the look of different carat weights.
The guys gave us an idea of the price to make up the setting in 18ct white gold, then I left it up to Richard, with his new found knowledge, to select the centre stone.
Some time later (an agonising wait for me...)the result was presented by my man on bended knee with the whole flowers and champagne thing, and it is gorgeous! (and he's not too bad either ;-). A .78 ideal cut, E colour cushion, flanked by kite shaped diamonds and set in a knife edge, bead set band, that splits to touch the centre diamond corners. The total carat weight is about 1.3. I think it will be on the website if you want to have a look.
The ring is beautifully made and you should see it in direct sunlight! I couldn't wait to show my family and friends. I have had a lot of comments on how stunning and sparkling it is, (even from a bank teller today!) and it has only been on my finger for just over a week.
In conclusion, we fully recommend Nick and Jason to anyone who is in the market for a quality, value for money, original piece of jewellery (the independent valuation was significantly more than the price we paid, and this is the amount it is insured for, as replacement value).
Avoid the jewellery retailers because they are likely to try to sell a second rate product and overcharge for it. You don't have to spend a fortune with Original Diamonds to get a really special piece made to your own individual choices.
We'll be contacting Nick again in a few months to talk about our custom made wedding rings.
Kind regards,
Laura.

I was a 25 year old male looking for an engagement ring for his girlfriend. I spent some time researching diamonds and prices. I went to all the so-called diamond houses and jewellers in Brisbane, and to be perfectly honest, was less than impressed with the service, quality and cost of all places. My best friend who was recently engaged told me to go and see Nick Ireland at Original Diamonds before commiting to any decision. I made an appointment with Nick and he explained to me all the ins and outs of what I should be looking for in a good diamond. We ordered a diamond that suited my budget from the web-site, and designed the rest of the ring to suit. I cannot begin to explain how extremely happy I am with the result. My Fiance loved the ring and I saved roughly 20%-25% on what others were asking. If I could offer one piece of wisdom it would be this. Shop around if you want, look at prices for the quality you are getting, then spend the 30 mins to go and see Nick and Jason. I would suggest that your decision will be made then and there. Thank you again Nick. Cheers - Wade

We searched for the right diamond for 3 months and spent many weekends at Hatton Garden. A friend suggested Original Diamonds and we are absolutely thrilled with our choice. I am very fussy and John Heath was really patient with us. We consulted 6 or 7 other wholesale jewellers and none of them could source the stone I wanted. We were nervous when we went to pick up my engagement ring which is a very intricate design, but it is more stunning that I ever expected. Many friends have commented that it is the most gorgeous ring they have seen. The quality of the workmanship is better than rings I have seen in Tiffanys. Thank you John.

Danny and I had been looking for a very specific diamond for my engagement ring for a long time and had been growing frustrated at the lack of choice of quality stones in the High Street shops. We had also approached a couple of jewellers to source a diamond for us but without success. Luckily we came across this website and got in touch with John and James. True to their word, they found me a gorgeous diamond and helped me choose a platinum setting. We picked the ring up this week and are delighted with it. No hesitation in recommending Original Diamonds and John and James.

I ran across your site while browsing the net - and though I am not even a prospective customer -d I think it is a very clean, honest, and perfect site with clarity for the people who are uninformed on this very specialised subject. The best thing about the site is that it voluntary parts with information to educate people across the board who visit it, without binding them to buy from your company. Hardly anyone cares to do that these days. Well done and wishes for you to prosper.

John and James you are wonderful! After the service we received from you for our wedding ring, we really wish we had known you sooner. We now have a very contemporary diamond wedding band, which catches many an admiring glance and comment frequently! John you are truly a gentleman of your word. When we had agreed the price, the ring making process took up more resources than originally planned, but, you stuck by the original price you had given to us.
We will be back in the future to purchase from you and will without a doubt recommend you to any of our friends who are looking for jewellery in the future.

We started our search for a very specific ring by visiting the best jewellers. This enabled us to confirm our requirements, but threatened to blow our budget big style. We decided to try searching for a direct supplier on the net. Hours of searching the many web sites revealed that the one with access to the largest selection of diamonds at the most competetive price was original-diamonds (by comparing certificate numbers you can see the same diamonds on offer by several companies). We were worried about the whole buying on the internet idea and were prepared to travel to Antwerp or New York if necessary, but knew that this would be a difficult search, where would we start? With the help of original-diamonds we did everything over the phone. After many reasuring calls with John and after comparing the qualities of many stones, we settled on the perfect one for us. We were still nervous about the choice as we were dealing with hard facts and a diamond is a very personal choice, but John assured us that our money would be refunded if we were not entirely satisfied. We waited a few more weeks for the diamond to reach Johns office and wow, it's wonderfull. John organised a master goldsmith to set the stone for us and then made adjustments to pander to our very specific requirements. We now have a very precious and much admired diamond ring to seal our engagement. Throughout the process both John and James have been friendly, informative and professional. We will definately recommend original-diamonds to friends and will use them again without hesitation.

I would like to thank James and John for their excellent and professional approach when sourcing a diamond for an engagement ring. I received honest advice and when giving a budget figure they actually came in at a lower figure than higher. How rare is that? The ring was superb and for an Emerald cut it sparkles beautifully. My girlfriend was delighted and would like to say thank you as well. I would recommend these gentlemen to all, their friendly manner and no pressure selling made the whole experience a pleasure.Good luck chaps. I look forward to seeing you when i need a diamond bracelet!!!For my mistress!!!
