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.

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 ;)

Amazing service ! Top notch quality and products they go the extra mile and very patient for making sure everything is perfect ! We had such a lovely experience I would highly recommend Crest Jeweller's
