Tanya and Greg share their celebrations with you.
We got married in November of 2006 and sealed our commitment with a stunning lace diamond ring from Daniella, our wedding guests were immediately enamored with the ring and the only thing better than its brilliant appearance and its quality craftsmanship was telling our friends and family the story of how our ring came into being.
We had been struggling to find a ring for some time, we had initially purchased my engagement ring from another jeweller and after a year of wear the gold had chipped away and when the jeweller went to fix the ring it cracked completely - this was from a very up market jeweller in the Sydney CBD.
After a long search through jewellery stores where we found little help and little inspiration we finally saw an advert in a bridal magazine for Daniella and decided to take the trip to Chatswood to check it out.
When we got there we realised immediately that this was very different to any other jewellery store that we had ever been to, firstly the jeweller and the designer were present in front of us rather than some salesperson with sales knowledge rather than knowledge of jewellery.
Their first step was to welcome us and ask us about what we wanted and where we were at, the consultation was excellent it was clear from the beginning that they weren’t interested in selling us a wedding ring they wanted to bring into creation ‘our’ diamond ring something that would be special and unique to us.
We told them our ideas and they promised a wax model of the ring that I had imagined within 2 weeks, three days later Bobby called to tell us the wax model was ready, we went in and it was so well crafted and exact to detail, I decided to go ahead with the ring, they had provided us with so much information and service that I went from a lukewarm jewellery buyer to someone who was very excited.
When our initial ring was completed we went to try it on and I was uncertain about it, there was something that was bothering me, and when Daniella the designer was helping me I noticed a brilliant lace ring on her finger and commented that I loved her ring, without even thinking they offered to make me the lace ring in my size as well as my original design and I could choose which one I wanted, this was 3 weeks before the wedding and true to their word both rings were made and presented only a few days later and I fell in love with the lace ring and no fuss was made about the change or the other ring they had to make.
Both Bobby and Daniella were there for us every step of the way willing to answer our questions, make changes and give us advice. Beyond that, I don’t think of them as just jewellers but as artists and true craftsman with a focus on quality and service.
I don’t plan to ever step into another jewellery store to buy things in the future, I will always return to Daniella, the trust that I have built them is worth much more that discounts or sales, because I know that anything I buy from them will last a life time and is of the highest quality and I realised having cheap low quality jewellery is just not the same as having the real thing, however our investigation of the market showed us that we simply could not have bought the same ring for a cheaper price anywhere.
Our experience with them has been more than fantastic and I could not recommend them enough.
