Thank you for the excellent service and help you gave me and my son as he selected an engagement ring for his girlfriend. The ring was absolutely stunning. His girlfriend refuses to remove it from her finger for any reason. The ring was beautifully made to my specification. I cannot thank you enough.
Glenn S - Newcastle NSW
Thank you so much for your honesty, integrity and ability to find the PERFECT diamond for an incredible wife. You made the stressful job of finding a diamond into a very joyful experience. I was so impressed with how you solved every problem. I learned so much from you. I will continue to spread your name to my friends. Thanks again.
Charles W - Melbourne VIC
I just wanted to take a second and let you know how happy we are with the diamond we purchased, I was thrilled when I saw the diamond and the setting. I thought it was absolutely beautiful. I was even more surprised when it increased in beauty once my Lori put it on and it fits perfectly. The diamond is truly incredible. The setting is perfect simple and elegant. It is perfect for her. I have seen many engagement rings and the response is usually the same, "Oh that's very nice". Lori has had strangers approach her and compliment her. I have yet to see it in the sunlight myself, but Lori said that when she was out the one day this week that it didn't rain, the stone looked like it was on fire. I can't thank you enough. The experience of purchasing the stone was professional and without any stress on my part. Lori could not be happier. I told her about the experience and she is already planning for the next diamond purchase and looking forward to meeting you.
Martina K - Sydney NSW
I have only good things to say about you guys. I just received my diamond ring and could not be more pleased. The overall experience was very good. Thanks to Craig all my questions were answered, and I will certainly order from you in the future!
Douglas D - Newcastle NSW
I will look for opportunities to provide referrals to your website. It is (by far) the best site that I came across for educating myself on the diamond buying process. Again, I appreciate the professionalism and honesty with which you approach your trade. I need to send you a second "thank you". I put the ring on Leigh Ann's finger this past Friday, and she is thrilled with the diamond. It looks absolutely spectacular on her hand. It is also receiving rave reviews as she is showing it around. Most of her friends are having a hard time believing that a lunkhead like me managed to pick it out on my own. I have also had the opportunity to describe how I went about buying it numerous times over the past few days, and I am hoping that this leads to a referral for you somewhere down the road. You deserve it!
Kristy H - Melbourne VIC
Thank you for all the time you put into finding us a stone and we are grateful that you did not get frustrated with us. I'm very glad that I stumbled across your web site. We found it very educational and we learned a lot. Any questions that we had you answered right away. It not only made us understand more about the diamond, but it also made us trust you in making such a big decision. If we need any jewellery, I know that you will be our first contact! We also will tell everyone we know about the great quality of stones and service that you provide!
Michel D - Newcastle NSW
Everything that your website stated is true. You have delivered to me a gorgeous ring. My daughter was very happy. Your service is exceptional. I will be a repeat customer and have already told a number of friends and family about you.
Andrew P - Sydney NSW
I would like to say that the service I have received when making my purchase, was outstanding. The diamond that I purchased is very beautiful. I will most certainly be making another purchase. Thanks again to everyone.
Chris W - Newcastle NSW
I just had to quickly e-mail you and let you know how happy Page and I are with the diamond we purchased from you. Her friends have been raving about it... and I caught her mum incessantly staring at the ring after the X-mass holiday. She even had a "ring viewing" party with a bunch of her girlfriends, a few that are engaged as well, and Page said she felt embarrassed and uncomfortable comparing her ring to the others because it was obvious to all that hers was much brighter than theirs weren't. Page even admitted how "relieved" she was knowing that she got a great diamond, with a good history, from a reputable retailer. She indicated that she now realized she would have felt uncomfortable showing off the diamond that she knew nothing about and always wondering whether she made the right decision. Now... she's just tickled pink!!! Thanks again!!
Tina P - Central Coast NSW
I recently purchased a beautiful diamond that would have cost me five times as much at a retail store. I couldn't be more satisfied. If anyone would like to know where to buy loose stones, I recommend Leonard's
Robert F - Gosford NSW
I'd like to thank you for your help and consideration through out the process of finding the "perfect" diamond for me. Although sceptical at first, my reservations were quickly calmed by your knowledge and help in understanding what I was truly looking for. Even with the challenge of the upcoming holidays you were able to put the package together as promised "on time". Being in the service industry, I understand the obstacles in when dealing with support vendors. My future wife was beside herself when presented with the ring. Of course the answer was a resounding YES. The ring is truly beautiful. The platinum mount made all the difference with a diamond that size. I hope that you enjoy continued success. Surely with service and quality such as yours, you will.
Kayoing C - Melbourne VIC
Thanks for putting up with me (and also guiding me) throughout the entire purchase process. I had done a lot of research (at least I thought) before I made the final purchase. You differentiated yourself from others, with patience and excellent personal guidance not to mention the best value among others. You will be the first and probably the only one I will be recommending to my associates. It was a very pleasant buying experience.
Tenial K - Perth WA
My purchase was a diamond ring that is absolutely beautiful. The workmanship is very fine and the diamond is first rate. The quality and value that I received was far greater that the price that I paid for the ring. I highly recommend shopping and purchasing from Leonard's diamond and gold.
Margaret - Central Coast NSW
My husband and I are thrilled to pieces with the quality and sparkle of the 1.03 ct. diamond. Our sincere thanks to you for all the information and assistance given. We are so fortunate to have found such a professionally dedicated company offering excellent and honest customer service and we will definitely be referring Leonard's to our friends and family.
David W - Brisbane QLD
I received the ring this morning. It is lovely! I want to say "thanks" for your help. If you ever want to use me as a reference, please do.
B. H - Sydney NSW
The ring I asked for was made and delivered very quickly. I took the ring to a local gem appraiser, who was impressed by the quality and estimated a retail price of $8,000 for the ring, while I had only paid $3,9000. My wife was thrilled.
Carolyn and Tony P - Gosford NSW
All I can say is WOW!!! You told me that I would know within 30 seconds if she liked the diamond. I doubt that it took that long. It was truly everything that you said it was and everything I had asked and hoped for and everything fell into place so beautifully. THANK YOU so much for all your wonderful and professional service. It was such a delight working with you. I have already told several people about you and your company. I am hoping when they are diamond shopping they will contact you. I am certain we will be a customer again. I thought the diamond was gorgeous unset, but when the jeweller finished setting it, it was "knock your socks off" gorgeous. Needless to say, my husband is quite pleased too. I waited a long time to get this diamond, but it was worth the wait.
Matthew P - Sydney NSW
Hi Craig, I want to thank you for all your help in this process and to let you know I have already recommended you to a friend of mine who is going to be getting engaged in the next few months. Thanks again for everything and look forward to talking to you soon.
Paul F - Gosford NSW
We watched the sun set over the Mountains sitting on a rock. I then pulled out a book I had illustrated and written. It was a story of how we met and how God brought us together. At the end of the story, which was really funny I might add was the ring. It was beautiful, she loved it! Thanks so much again for everything. We have got nothing but compliments on the ring. . Thanks and God bless you for giving us such great service.
Gregory M - Sydney NSW
Thank you for the wonderful service and the fabulous diamond. I proposed this past Saturday and she was blown away. The quality of the diamond and the service you provided was excellent. I've already told several people where I bought it and I expect to direct them to you in the near future.
Edward M - Sydney NSW
I hope you know how fortunate your company is to have Steven working for you. Steven is the epitome of customer service. I felt completely at ease buying from him. He was extremely courteous and knowledgeable. Steven is a true asset to your company. Everything he told me over the phone about the diamonds was spot-on accurate, which only enforced the fact that I was dealing with a reputable company. Your web site is also a wealth of information, I learned quite a bit about buying diamonds. I took the information Steven e-mailed me to a few local jewellers and they would not match your price. I must say that I'm extremely satisfied with the whole process.
Angie P - Newcastle NSW
I am sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I have been in and out of the country for the last month. First of all my husband and I would like to thank you for finding my gorgeous diamond. The clarity and colour for this stone was great value for the price we paid. When our old jeweller saw it, he told me it was a magnificent stone. I was so glad I found you. I already referred you to my friends and to all the people who tell me how beautiful my stone is.
Robert J - Sydney NSW
I wanted to thank you for recently helping my friend, David with his purchase. I'm glad he was able to work with you after I suggested it, having seen several jewellers prior and was unable to find the right match. I'm glad you were able to work together and I was eager to provide you with any business that I can since I had such a wonderful experience with you. I look forward to doing business with you in the future. Take care and thank you again.
Chris and Heather C - Central Coast NSW
Heather was absolutely THRILLED with the ring! It looks so beautiful and she's continually commented on how beautiful and sparkly the stones looks. I have to admit, the brilliance is so amazing it continually draws my eye. We were even walking our dog, Baxter, around the lake at night and it still glimmered like it had its own spotlight! Again, I can't thank you enough for all your help.
Kevin L - Sunshine Coast Queensland
We received the diamond on Friday, and it is a beautiful stone, we are both very happy with it. I would like to thank you and the other people I've dealt with over the last number of weeks. Thanks
Ingrid G - Newcastle NSW
This is Ingrid, your customer who bought the 1.54 carat Asscher cut diamond from you . I have promoted your website on our wedding magazine. I was made associate editor a few months ago and had recommended your website (for quality affordable diamonds) in my article about internet sites for those who plan to get married. I hope some people will get the chance to purchase a diamond from you! Cheers and hope all is well!
Joseph C - Sydney NSW
Hey Craig and the rest of you, THANK YOU SO MUCH! You guys were the best, and will be receiving phone calls of friends of mine for some time to come! The diamond is exactly what I was looking for, and my girlfriend, was blown away by what a great stone it was, thank you
Yung and Katrina W - Newcastle NSW
Thank you for your help in helping Katrina and I to find such a stunning diamond. Katrina is ecstatic, and that means that I am as well. We will absolutely be very pleased to recommend your services to all of our other friends and contacts. In fact, we have already started that process last night over dinner, with friends who we believe are great together, and who might be in the right zone over the next 12 months.
Tammy G - Melbourne VIC
Thanks so much. We absolutely love the ring and the diamonds and will recommend your services to many others. We will always come back to you for future diamond purchases!
Marty and Sharon Y - Gold Coast QLD
Thanks, I was very pleased with everything. Sharon still can't believe that we got a nicer diamond than we found in Tiffany's and it was such an easy transaction. I picked it up in the platinum and as Sharon said, it seemed to even sparkle in the dark. I will certainly recommend you to any of my friends.
Paul and Nicole B - Sydney NSW
I just wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciated ALL of your help with my diamond purchase. The time you spent showing me all the characteristics of the stone really cemented my buying from you. The ring you made us was great and my fiancée has been delighted! That helped tremendously with Nicole's sanity. Thank you very much for all your help.
Rich A - Brisbane QLD
Recently I decided to purchase a diamond to have put into a engagement ring for my long time girl friend. I shopped locally to get an idea of what I was looking for in colour, size and clarity. The prices at the local jewellery stores lead me to the internet to look for a better deal. I could not find what I wanted for what I could afford to pay. I talked to a few diamond jewellers before I ended up talking to you, I thought Steven was real informative in helping me make the right choice. He spent some time on the phone going over what was important and what was not. There is no since paying for something that is not needed. As a construction estimator I deal with price/value all the time so I appreciated the information. Steven emailed me information on a number of diamonds that were currently available in the size, colour and clarity that I had in mind. I choose one that was in my budget under $6,000.00. A IGI certified princess cut, 1.11 carrot with "G" colour and in a SI1 clarity. This stone ended up being closer in colour to an "F" than to "G" so colour was not an issue. Once it was approved by me he emailed me the certificates and I gave them the approval to send it. I called and gave him my credit card information for a deposit and it was shipped Federal Express overnight to me. The diamond looked great to me but I am no expert so I took it to a couple of different local jewellers to get there opinion. One weighed it and took a quick look to see if it was as represented. It was. The other jeweller was one I went to High School with so I knew him and trusted that he would give me an honest opinion. He pulled out an un-graded 1.16K, SI, E to compare it too. It compared well in size and colour. I personally could not tell the difference between the two and either could the jeweller with the naked eye. The price tag on the local jeweller's diamond showed $8,700.00. The jeweller said he could not find anything bad to say about my stone. The ring was appraised at $11,900 for replacement cost. My total investment for diamond, ring and setting was approximately $6,500. I am totally satisfied with Leonard's and the diamond I purchasing. I would use them in the future and would recommend them to others.
Ricardo C - Sydney NSW
I never go the chance to thank you. The diamond was gorgeous just like you said! My girlfriend loved it and everybody else who has seen the stone and now I am engaged to a very beautiful women. It was great doing business with you
Joseph M - Central Coast NSW
Thanks for everything Craig. You are on my list of companies to recommend and I have put the word out that if anyone needs a diamond, they have to check you out first.
Jeff M - Newcastle NSW
I searched all over Australia and bought and took back a diamond from a retail store. Craig's company provided the best quality, service, and price. Once I know what kind of diamond I was looking for, Craig provided me with a list of possible diamonds along with certificates.
Wendy W - Gosford NSW
Thank you so much, for all of your help. You and your staff made this so easy and really put my mind at ease about buying a diamond from a company I had found on the internet. I have had two very reputable jewellers look at the diamond and they both said that I got exactly what I asked for to a "T". I am so happy with this purchase and just cannot thank you enough for your help and willingness to work with me. I have and will continue to tell people about your company. In fact, I have a friend who has even decided to give you a call as he is planning on looking for a diamond for his girlfriend. Hopefully I will be able to send more business your way.
Ching and Brian - Melbourne VIC
Thank you very much for all your help. I really enjoyed working with you and the rest of your staff. The whole experience of making a big purchase was very stressful, but you made it easy and comfortable especially for Brian, if you know what I mean! He said exactly what you told me over the phone when I spoke to you that morning. I am enjoying every minute that I have it on my fingers. Thank you I will definitely recommend you to anybody. Please use my reference anytime!
Richard and Ann M - Sydney NSW
Just received your newsletter and always enjoy reading them, I thought I would drop you a note. Ann gets a lot of enjoyment and comments on her diamond ring. We did enjoy the whole process of buying the diamond through the you. We appreciated you taking the time to show us everything about the diamonds.
Scott G - Austin - Newcastle NSW
My buying experience with the good folks at Leonard's has been nothing short of wonderful. I have purchased two diamonds now from "K" and I trust he 100% in providing me with the quality of diamond I was looking for. It really made the buying experience simple because she helped educate me so that I was more knowledgeable about what I wanted. With that knowledge I felt more comfortable about my purchase.
David M - Newcastle NSW
I will tell everyone about Leonard's. This was an enjoyable experiences of a major purchase. Thanks for everything.
Kim and Scott S - Sydney NSW
The ring is safely on my finger and we couldn't be happier. It really is unbelievably beautiful. Thank you so much for your hard work in helping us get exactly what we wanted. We will send anyone we know who is purchasing a diamond to you.
Todd A - Brisbane QLD
I received the ring last week and was speechless. It is very impressive!! I want to thank you all for your continued help in this process. I couldn't be happier. But, it's really not about me now is it. I'll let you know what Leigh thinks when I propose hopefully at the end of this month or next. You can count on referred business.
Aaron R - Sydney NSW
I would just like to say that Leonard's are by far some of the nicest, patient and know legible people in the industry. They worked with me for a very long time to get me the perfect diamond for my future wife and the diamond was everything they said it would be and made my fiancé very, very happy!!! I have no problems recommending Leonard's to anyone as I did to my best friends and co-workers.
Rick C - Gosford NSW
I wanted to say a great big thank you!!! I was very impressed with the diamond. Even more so, I'm very impressed with your customer service. I'll gladly recommend you to family and friends. Sherri got her ring Friday evening and I think she is still in shock this morning. I'll be adding a link from my website to your website soon, along with my personal recommendation. Again, thank you!
Penny W - Newcastle NSW
I must tell you that John was THRILLED with my new ring. Now I can enjoy all my diamonds. We gave my daughter her earrings last week and they look beautiful on her. Again thank you for your patience while working with me. I could not be happier about my experience at your store. I am already recommending you to my friends! And knowing my husband, we will be visiting you again. Again thank you, Penny
Rob S - Newcastle NSW
To all at Leonard's, I just wanted to take the time to send some feedback... Kristin and I are very impressed with every aspect of our purchase from your company. Your attentiveness to our time-frame was especially surprising. I found your website while trying to educate myself more on the "ideal" cuts and ratios for diamonds that we were looking for, and thanks to the extensive content on your site, I found the information that I was looking for and ultimately found myself doing business with you. I would recommend your services to anyone that I know in the market for a diamond. Thank you for a great experience.
David M - Central Coast NSW
As a consumer, customer service is possibly the most important thing to me. Even if a business is unable to help me, if I feel I've been treated right, I'll keep checking back with that company. The proper customer service can make me just want to buy a product from a company, let me assure you that the attention you gave me was above my high standards. I really do feel as if I was treated right. I know the best place to go the next time a similar occasion arises.
Eric M - Sydney NSW
I highly recommend Leonard's, actually I wish they sold more than just diamonds, because I would buy everything from them. I did quite a bit of research on the internet regarding what to look for in a diamond, so I knew what to ask for. Craig and Steve were very helpful and not pushy or slimy at all. I had them post me the diamond and I took it to a gemmologist. She verified that the stone was exactly what the paper work said it was. Actually the gemmologist commented what a nice stone it was and asked where I bought it and what I paid for it. Once again thanks
Amanda and Brad - Perth WA
My experience could not have been more positive. Brad was tremendously patient and really went out of his way to make sure I found the perfect diamond for my concept and budget. I was thrilled with the quality and value. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with you again.
Richard M - Perth WA
I especially recommend Leonard's to those looking for something unique and personal. The staff are absolutely wonderful to deal with. They did what they said, and exceeded even my expectations. I would not only recommend them to others, I plan on using their services again soon.
John M.- Newcastle NSW
We find the quality of the diamond to be exactly as advertised and the workmanship of the settings to be truly exquisite. We especially appreciate the detailed and honest descriptions. This is a first class operation.
