Kind Words
It was such a seamless and exciting experience dealing with Richard James Jeweler. The team are wonderful and their boutique is gorgeous. We got my Grandmothers and Mothers rings redesigned and from the beginning they listened and helped us create the perfect piece that I will wear forever in memory of my Grandmother. They also created 5 single stacker rings with diamonds in each that will be passed on to the Granddaughters in the family in time. We couldn’t be happier with the process and the beautiful jewelry that has been respected and redesigned. I highly recommend Richard James Jeweler and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
Absolutely incredible experience. I cannot recommend Richard James jeweller highly enough. My ring is truly amazing, I can’t stop looking at it. So great to deal with and made everything so easy. We communicated through email, made the purchase online and the ring was sent to us. If you are thinking of buying but live far away, do it! I am so happy with my ring and the experience I had with Richard James jewellers. I’ll be in touch for the wedding ring.
We used Richard and the wonderful team at Richard James Jeweller for our engagement and wedding rings. The entire design process, attention to detail and incredible customer service was second to none. We can't wait to work with the team on our next pieces. You guys are amazing at what you do and we are so thankful to have worked with you creating our timeless engagement and wedding rings. Thank you so much!
I live in Auckland and was struggling to find exactly what I wanted for an engagement ring for my now fiance.
I came across Richard James online and was a little hesitant at first about shopping away from home but it was an absolute breeze. Fantastic communication right the way through, the 3D renders were amazing...flawless process.
I cannot recommend the team at Richard James enough!
Thank you guys!
I wanted to express mine and Jamie's gratitude for the exceptional work you put into creating our custom engagement ring. It has surpassed all our expectations and holds such sentimental value.
From the initial design discussions to the meticulous craftsmanship and final touches,
every step of the process was handled with such care and expertise. Your attention to detail truly shines through in the final piece, and it is a testament to your team's skill and dedication.
We are incredibly grateful for your patience and willingness to accommodate our
requests throughout the process. The ring is not just a symbol of our love but also a beautiful work of art that we will cherish forever.
Thank you once again for making this experience so special for us. We look forward to
using your services again for our wedding bands!
