Limited mentions: some customers note negotiated reductions or good value, while a few report high repair estimates and poor outcomes on costly purchases.
User experience
In‑store experiences are frequently positive; digital and phone channels receive complaints about non‑working chat, long queues and slow responses.

Conclusion
Reviews show two recurring patterns. Many customers describe highly personalised, knowledgeable in‑store service and memorable retail visits led by individual staff members. Conversely, a notable portion of reviews report long repair turnarounds, failures in online/phone communication and unresolved faults on expensive purchases. Consumers should ask for written estimates, documented diamond specifications, repair timelines and delivery tracking before purchase or service to reduce risk and set clear expectations.
