Asscher cut diamond pendant

Your staff are very welcoming and friendly. They listened to what I wanted and the result is just as I imagined.

I had an asscher cut diamond pendant made to match my earrings. Also from your Sheffield store. The set is absolutely amazing.

Thank you

Initial person we dealt with was great

Initial person we dealt with was great, i believe her name is Georgia. If this person was the only one we dealt with i would give this 5 stars. She was excellent and was a pleasure to work with

However we completed our transaction/pickup with a very rude member of staff which makes me regret using A&B

100%

Staff at Austen&Blake London were accommodating especially Fabiha. She’s been patient with me in my visit as we kept discussing and finally concluding with the right ring. PS my fiancée loves the ring and proudly wears it everyday.

I visited Austen & Blake Liverpool last month with an idea in mind. Aimee was so helpful and guided me to pick the perfect engagement ring. We both love the ring and can’t thank Aimee enough for the help and support she gave on my visit. Thanks very much again! Would highly recommend!

Good quality and great value!

Good quality rings with range of metals, stones, and configurations, all at a decent price point.
Store staff really nice and professional.
Received the rings are they were well finished and presented, box could be a little nicer though, but really that's it. The rings themselves are great.
If we could get a few more metal mix and match options and improve the boxes, it'll be a 5 star for me 😊.

We had a ring made

We had a ring made, it's absolutely amazing. The service from start to finish was polite, and I was kept informed of progress of the ring.
I would recommend Austen and Blake to anybody looking for that 'something special'

I don’t know how you have so many positive reviews

Ordered engagement ring to propose on the 13th of march. No communication no replies. Was confirmed item would dispatch last week. Still no updates. Honestly ruined my plans to propose. Now I’m stuck with no ring no money and a headache.

Wedding bands bought!

William was brilliant, helped my fiancée narrow down what she wanted for her wedding band which is no small feat!

Similarly helped me refine the styling of my ring, working out the size for the first time.

Wedding bands purchased, thank you very much!

An exceptional experience

We came in for wedding bands, and left with an amazing experience. Poppy and Sara were incredibly helpful and made us feel very welcome in busy circumstances. The bands are excellent and we can’t wait to wear them. We cannot recommend this store more.
