Ring arrived this morning and looks awesome, thank you. My wife to be is going to love it.
My long awaited jewels have arrived. They are stunning! I can’t stop staring at them from different angles to admire the rolling waves of different colors. The ring opal is so large it practically covers full width of my finger. And the pendant is so lovely, diamonds dress it up so well, love both settings. These are truly major pieces of jewelry – my husband’s B’day gift for me. I still regret that I did not have you guys set my black opal, your jeweler does an amazing job. Thank you all so so much!
Just wanted to say thank you for your outstanding customer service. Your assistance via chat was excellent, your willingness to help was greatly appreciated and delivery was super fast. We received our order today (next day) and it is perfect, we love it and we are very proud to give this to our overseas cousins to take back home.
My experience with Opals Down Under has exceeded my expectations! Customer service is prompt and helpful. Rhys and Scott are professionals whose goal is to find you the perfect opal, which in my case, is a stunning boulder opal with fire and more colors (red, violet, orange, blue, green) than I could have ever imagined when I first embarked on finding an opal, my daughter’s birthstone. The bezel setting is a simple, elegant classic but your (and your jeweller’s) patience throughout the waxing process was so so amazing. Now we have a timeless heirloom for our daughter. Thank you SO much!
The customer service at Opals Down Under is awesome, they had the patience to spend several months going back and forth finding the right opal and right settings and went above and beyond being helpful and took pictures of multiple opals from different angles to give a better perspective to put together a beautiful unique one of a kind ring. I now have a fiancée who is in love with her ring. I can’t say enough good things and would recommend Opals Down Under to anyone looking for an Opal.
Got the pendant today (really fast delivery!) – it’s beautiful. Thanks so much.
Yes! We have it. It looks even more amazing in person. We’re so pleased! It’s really perfect. Thank you so much! You really made this an enjoyable experience for us. Opals Down Under is top notch; I’ve never had a better buying experience in person. You’ve been so helpful and thorough. Your advice gave us so much confidence in our purchase. We absolutely love it and will recommend your business to our friends and family.
She said yes! I knew she would but thought you might want know. She absolutely loves the Opel and the ring. Thank you so much for your help in the process. I will be sure to recommend you to everyone I know.
Got the pendant – its great – Thanks!
Just letting you know that I collected the ring today and I love it!
I can’t thank you enough for your advice, prompt responses and help with getting everything sorted for me (us). It has been a very smooth process and I’m glad I chose you and your company for the ring.
