About Hanif
Meet Hanif, the heart and soul behind Crest Jewellers, whose journey in the realm of fine jewellery began over 30 years ago. While earning his BBA at SFU, Hanif discovered his deep-seated passion for jewellery craftsmanship, especially diamonds, which has shone brightly throughout his career.

His pioneering spirit did not stop there; as technology advanced, so did Hanif, embracing 3D printing to further refine and perfect the design process.
Hanif’s commitment to his clients is unparalleled. With a belief system grounded in customer satisfaction, he launched the Platinum Service, offering lifetime no-charge sizing, polishing, and a lifetime guarantee that covers small diamonds. This exemplifies Hanif’s ethos of standing firmly behind every product and service provided.

I am not a person who wears a lot of jewelry. And pieces I wear daily have to mean something to me. For well over a decade, I have gone to Hanif at Crest Jewellers to help create a small collection of pieces that I love. When my husband and... read more I were getting our wedding rings nearly 15 years ago, we went to Hanif. Later, my anniversary band and the small delicate diamond studs I wear every day came from Hanif. Back when I got engaged, I didn't want a solitaire. Over time, I changed my mind on that (lol). Of course I went to Hanif. And the ring is stunning! It is a perfect match to my anniversary band. I love it. He has an excellent eye, provides an extraordinary level of personalized customer service and will work with you to create a piece of jewelry that is beautiful and timeless.

He was honest and upfront about everything which made our relationship trustworthy. Hanif responded to each of my questions in a prompt and timely manner.

Hanif was patient, knowledgeable and understanding. Having limited knowledge in what to look for in an engagement ring, Hanif really took the time to explain and answer all the questions we had. What we appreciated the most was that Hanif made us feel relaxed in an otherwise stressful process of... read more designing an engagement ring. It has been a few months since we received my fiancée’s ring. The number of compliments the ring has received and the way it continues to stand out and sparkle is a testament to Hanif’s craftsmanship. Thank you Hanif, we look forward to working with you again in designing our wedding bands!
Can’t recommend enough! Hanif helped create a custom engagement ring for my partner, putting the diamond from a family heirloom ring onto a new band. Looks amazing, and Hanif was so nice and helpful throughout the whole process!
Hanif was amazing!! My fiancee and I are extremely happy with my engagement ring. Hanif was able to custom made a ring design that I found online. During the process, Hanif was patient, supportive, and made sure that the ring cost did not exceed our budget. His service was prioritized... read more on making sure we are comfortable and happy with what we want and he never tried to use the salesmen tactic of forcing a product idea on us. This made our experience comfortable and honest. I highly recommend Crest Jewellers to anyone!!
Not sure why they don't have more reviews because Hanif definitely deserves more! I went to two other local Vancouver ones that are popular and have big social media pescence earlier this year for a friend's engagement. They were great too. I wasn't sure what to expect coming into... read more Crest but it exceeded my expectations and I loved my experience. What Crest lacks in marketing they make up for in service and quality. I prefer it that way since the owner Hanif and his daughter are able to put more focus into the product. Hanif saw us just before the store opened. He personally educated us on the diamonds and all the 4Cs and gave us a brief summary of his family business. He has this very cool proprietary system set up where he uses magnets to help you find your perfect ring combination. It was so much fun and very useful, because it turned out that what I want from just pictures is very different from what looked good on me! So that was a huge plus. It takes about a month from design to finish so I'm excited to see what the final look is.
Hanif and Crest jewellers is by far the best option for custom jewelry in Vancouver. Hanif was honest, personable, professional and easy to work with.

My experience with Crest Jewellers has exceeded my expectations. Hanif is the best jeweler you'll ever find. No pressure from him at all.

I was looking for a custom design for an engagement ring. I visited about 3 recommended jewellers before visiting Crest Jewellers. The difference was immediately noticed. I stopped by without an appointment and was graciously welcomed in as Soraya was just finishing up with another person. While i waited, I... read more looked around until Soraya was free. In previous experiences, I felt overwhelmed and frankly out of place. Once Soraya and I stated talking I was put at ease with her disarming and down-to-earth demeanor. She asked questions of what i was looking for, type of stone, and design details. Soraya listened and didn't pressure me at all. Once we came up with the design, Soraya walked me through the process, helped me select the stones for the ring, and laid out time frames. Crest Jewellers list honesy, integrity, and quality as what they stand for. I can assure everyone that this is true. In my experience Soraya helped me pick between two stones for the ring and lead me to choose the smaller (less expensive) stone because of the colour and how it would work with the design. Soraya was 100% correct and the finished product is fantastic. I really couldn't have hoped for a better designed ring for my fiancé and I couldn't have had a better person then Soraya to help. If you're looking for a jeweller with a personal touch, no-pressure sales, integrity, and beautiful stones then look no further than Crest Jewellers. Just make an appointment first ;)

Inside is engraved "Blended with love". Hanif offers exceptional service with his heart in his hand and pricing is incredible for the quality of product and service you receive. BEST EVER!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Soraya from Crest Jewellers to create my now fiancé's dream engagement ring and I couldn't be happier with how the ring turned out!
