Julia Sampo: Impeccable craftsmanship, wonderful customer service - an outstanding family jeweler we continue to return to time after time

Caitlin Xuereb: The Armans team are always so helpful and are very patient in helping you find the perfect ring! Highly recommend them 😊

Niall McKenna: Couldn't be happier with our experience with Aris. We chanced going in on a Saturday evening and Aris took care of us. Even though we didn't have an appointment, we were given all the time in the world to make an informed decision. Aris' knowledge of diamonds is second to none and had every answer to every question we asked. My fiancee is absolutely over the moon with the finished product and can't stop looking at it. I would highly recommend Armans and would like to give our most sincere gratitude to Aris for the time and detail he put in to make such a huge decision so flawlessly easy. We can never thank you enough. 5 stars.

Sandy Neison: Can’t thank Aris and the team at Armans enough. Aris was great to work with from start to finish. Talked through various options and helped me pick the perfect ring for my partner. With it being a family run business you can just tell they take care and pride in every customer and everything they do. Would highly recommend!

Diana Kritas: I’ve heard about Armans so highly for many years through social media. When my fiancé proposed and showed me the most perfect ring I was over the moon. Armans fine detail and craftsmanship is unmatched. My fiancé told me that he wouldn’t have trusted any other jeweller to make this ring exactly what he wanted, so thank you armans for helping him every step of the way and giving us the most gorgeous engagement ring ever ❤️

Kilian Lohmann: Arman made time for us on a busy Saturday afternoon even though we didn't have an appointment. He provided expert service and guidance, and was very accommodating when we asked for changes after the order had been placed. Arman and his sons are very personable and knowledgeable, and I found the ring shopping experience very pleasant.P.S. She said yes 🙂

Daniele Rocca: Being able to design my dream ring for my dream woman was an absolute pleasure with Levon & Aris. The whole process was natural, celebratory & never once did I feel pressure or judgement about budget or preference. My wife absolutely loves her ring and we continue to get amazing service to this day. Life long customers for sure. Dan & Anna

Sally Wu: I cannot thank Levon enough for his service. After being disappointed with a diamond cross (from another jeweller) I wanted for my 30th birthday, I reached out to Armans at the end of April to see if they were able to make and deliver a cross during May. However, they went over and beyond and got it to me the day before my birthday (first week of May)!I am so in love with my new cross, and can't thank Armans enough for making this a birthday miracle.Great service, care, love, and of course, stunning jewellery. I highly recommend Armans.

Niall Irwin: Armans was highly recommended to me by a friend when I began my search for an engagement ring and he was absolutely correct. Levon was fantastic, he walked me through the all the different types of rings and all the necessary details involved in selecting the perfect engagement ring. He made the whole process seamless and stress free and I was delighted with the outcome. I would highly recommend visiting Armans if you are on the hunt for an engagement ring.

Rashid John Habib: Good quality product, arrived promptly as requested.

Jameson Mao: Amazing service and overall experience especially purchasing from another state. From the craftsmanship to the customer service, it has all been A+.

Liam Dunkin: Armans Fine Jewellery is beyond exceptional!When we first stepped into the Armans store we were greeted with nothing but warmth and kindness from this family-run business.We had the pleasure of meeting THE famous Arman, who showed us his exquisite craftsmanship and incredibly beautiful handmade designs. He also took the time to explain to us the ideal length-to-width ratio of Oval cut diamonds which was invaluable in our finial decision.Our second appointment was with Levon and we can’t thank him enough for his expertise and patience in helping us choose the ring design.Aris was just as kind and helpful with subsequent consultations when the ring was available to inspect and pick up. We have previously been to other jewellers but Armans is in a league of its own. We have never met such a trustworthy, personable, high-quality and exceptional Jeweller.The final ring exceeded our expectations and we will be coming back over and over again.We cannot recommend Armans enough and we will be telling all our friends and family! Arman, Levon and Aris, thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!

Marianna Sawa: For anyone considering an engagement ring from Armans, I would run! I’ve never seen such beautiful craftsmanship and close attention to detail. I’ve seen many imitations but none seem to come close to Armans. Thank you so much to the team for your amazing work, I will definitely treasure this for life.

melih cevik: All I can say is Aris & the Armans team is the best in the game by far!! They really outdone themselves with my fiancés engagement ring and she loved it.I recommend Aris and Armans to everyone for any jewellery piece. The shine and sparkle on this engagement ring is out of this world honestly! From the minute you walk in to the minute you walk out Armans make you feel like you’re at home.Industry leaders for a reason!!

Elisa Taniputra: I was (and still am!) absolutely blown away by my engagement ring from Armans! I'll never forget the moment my fiancé proposed with the oval shaped diamond ring of my dreams. Every detail is absolutely perfect from design to quality. Thank you Levon and the team at Armans for working alongside my fiancé in designing the ring he wanted. I know I'll be wearing it everyday for the rest of my life and hope one day we can pass it on to our kids!

David De Margheriti: Levon and his brother were very personable and made the entire experience of buying and engagement ring easy. The ring they made was stunning and they provided their honest advice throughout the entire process.

Casey Watts: My fiancé got my absolute dream engagement ring made at Armans, also my dream jeweller! The quality and craftsmanship of my ring is amazing! Levon made the whole process a breeze, communication was seamless. We could not be happier with the choice of going through Armans. I have had so many comments on how gorgeous my ring is. Levon is so easy to deal with regarding resizing, cleaning and any questions we have/had. We can’t recommend them enough. We will be back for our wedding bands and any future jewellery. Thanks for making one of the biggest moments in our life easy.

Jacob Bell: They Went above and beyond, and the ring is perfect. I called the shop spoke to Levon. Told him what I was after he said he would call me back, I said I can’t have you calling me just in case I’m with my partner, He then gave me his personal phone number, and said I could contact him whenever as I had to be discreet I told him I could only communicate via text and only when my partner went to sleep. As didn’t want to be caught out. He was cool with that and Most of our conversations over the weeks following were done late at night. He was extremely professional, and delivered a top quality product. I’ve told my friends and family. And I would recommend to anyone reading this. You will not be disappointed! Thank you again Levon

George Riganas: Thank you to Aris and the Armans team for the perfect engagement ring they made the whole process of creating our ring completely seamless and stress free Aris and Armans went above and beyond in creating and delivering an amazing engagement ring absolutely love it!Will definitely recommend Armans fine jewellery to my family and friendsThank you we are so grateful for everything 🙏🏻 💍

Antony Bonaccorso: Aris and Levon are both both superstars. If you are looking for high quality and fantastic service, Armans is the way to go. Would recommend them to anyone.

A A: I attended the Summer Vibes 3 day course in January 2023 taught by Erin Keys. The course went beyond my expectations; Erin is truly skilled in the art of jewellery making and this is reflected in the way she teaches. I went in with no experience to completing four pieces and seriously considering jewellery making as a side hustle. Thank you Erin, I am beyond thankful and will definitely be back!

Monica Mazioun: Erin Keys is amazing! The Bench is a wonderful space to create, comfortable place to learn and a great speace to be in.I've done three courses and looking for the fourth 🎉

Emma Field: My favourite place to rent a bench whenever I'm in Sydney. The studio is incredibly well equiped and a great place to work. Erin is so warm and welcoming and provides a great environment for fellow jewellers and students :)

Laura H: Thank you Erin and Erin for the amazing Wax Casting Course. I would highly recommend The Bench to everyone interested in jewellery design, from beginner to advanced.

Phoebe Cashman: I could not stress more how grateful I am for my experience here at the Bench with Erin.Despite the space itself being incredible, it’s Erin who ultimately makes it.Her patience, experience and expertise coupled with her funny, kind nature makes your experience at the bench entirely worthwhile.Despite having some jewellery training, I was curious and completely eager to learn from Erin.The facilities are really great. It’s a comfortable, safe environment to practice the art of jewellery.I would have absolutely no problem recommending her & the bench to anyone in the future.. beginner or not!

Wil: Erin offers an amazing service which is worth every penny! I can’t believe my luck in finding someone so kind and receptive. I am a beginner, and have no experience in jewellery making, but Erin managed to include me in almost every step of the process of making earrings and a pendant for my mum.Erin has excellent customer service and is also a great teacher. I only contacted Erin a few days before Christmas, and after some prompt back and forth communication - via both calls and emails - Erin was kind enough to fit me into her busy schedule, and I now have these presents ready for Christmas Day!! Incredible.After the jewellery was created, I left it at the workshop for the metals to set and harden. Erin has now driven out of her way and dropped it off to me on Christmas Eve! Completely above and beyond.I was completely blown away by this whole service. Every component was of the highest order and quality. Not only that, the end jewellery products are beautiful.Erin, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. I will recommend you highly to all of my mates. Your compassion and kindness, will make Christmas Day a little brighter for me and my whole family.

Justin Dowswell: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueThe one dayer silver ring course ran by Erin was great. I may have been bitten by the jewelry bug...

Tim Benson: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueHad such a fun day today attending the jewellery taster workshop making a silver ring! Erin was great and more patient than I could ever be. So happy with my ring and will be back to study further !

Amy Roberts: I took Erin’s Summer Vibes intensive intro course in January 2021. Erin was kind, patient & extremely generous with her knowledge. I walked away from the four-day course with a piece of jewellery I now wear proudly every day, and have since also enrolled in Erin’s 8-week course starting in February. The skills we learnt were a perfect foundation; I’d happily recommend these courses to anyone interested in dipping their toes into jewellery making and design.

Judy Kwan: Attended a one day make a silver ring course. Located inside the Joynton Avenue Creative Centre- the building was amazing! Erin was very knowledgeable, friendly and really made the course enjoyable. No previous experience but walked out thinking I could go professional. Loved it!

Charli G: A great creative space to work and learn in. Erin went above and beyond to try and help me achieve my over ambitious FIRST RING EVER! Although it was not what i had hoped for, it was lovely for what it was. Thanks Erin.

Brett: An amazing experience! Brilliant teacher that makes you feel welcome and allows you to express yourself. It was a great day and we left with awesome Jewellery. My friends are extremely impressed with the finished product! Highly recommended for a unique experience!

Monique Chua: I started going to The Bench weekly to work on my own personal projects and I'm so glad I did! I am learning jewellery at TAFE and always have struggled with the maths and techniques, i always thought jewellery making was way too hard.Luckily I got one of the spots at the Bench because Erin showed me the easiest and quickest way to make rings. Now I can make 4 rings in one day easily, before I was making 1 every 2 days (it was ridiculous).I love coming into the bench, it's my favourite day of the week. Erin is a wonder at jewellery making and always there to help you become a better jeweller. She knows everything!Everyone there is super nice and supportive and the space is beautiful. I know this was a long review but I'm a big fan of The Bench.

Christina Loft: Mr. Gary hand drew ring band options for me and searched for the exact gemstone I wanted for weeks just based on what I described via email!!! He demonstrated unparalleled care, passion and pride in finding and creating this masterpiece ring for me for which I am so grateful! If you want a custom made ring of incredible beauty this is the business to contact!!!

hammad wahid: Nice place, ambient, coffee, desert everything is prefect for evening. 😊😊😊

Matt Stockton: Specialist in bespoke and boutique pieces. Gary, Alice, and Joel were met with a challenging brief for 3 pieces for us (engagement ring and 2 wedding rings) all conceptual that hadn't been done before. They more than rose to the challenge and produced 3 beautiful and unique rings. Super friendly and easy to deal with, the timing of this was throughout COVID and they were wonderfully empathetic and flexible. Would and have recommended to anyone who's looking for a trusted jeweller, particular for custom pieces. Thanks again guys, Matto & Alex

Daniel Coyle: While in Sydney in 2013 my wife was looking for an opal necklace. We were referred to Giulians by our hotel concierge. While my wife was looking at opals, I saw some beautiful Tahitian pearl earrings that I was interested in buying for our upcoming 30th wedding anniversary. I briefly spoke with Gary and surreptitiously got his card. Gary went back to assisting my wife and she purchased a lovely opal necklace.After returning to the US, I emailed Gary and he and his staff assisted me with customizing a set of earrings and matching necklace. My wife loved them. Fast forward five years to our 35th anniversary and Gary assisted again with South Sea Pearl earrings. This year he assisted my wife with redesigning and rebuilding an existing set of earrings. Gary and his staff have been beyond helpful - all from halfway around the globe! We cannot wait to see what our 40th anniversary brings!

Carol Cowlishaw: In 2007 my Husband wanted to treat me to an opal when we visited Sydney. We walked into Giulians and met Gary who was so professional with helpful suggestions as to style of a necklace to suit me. It arrived after we returned to the U.K. and to say I was delighted was an understatement; it was & still is, beautiful. Recently I emailed Giulians to ask about the insurance valuation now & Alice has kindly issued me with new paperwork. She has been a great envoy for this fantastic jewellery shop. If you go to Sydney, please visit them, customer service is everything to them.

Luke morris: Unbelievable service. We popped in without notice with a unique request and it was no trouble at all. Best customer experience possible. Thank you again.

Trys Eddy: Before I get into a long-winded story and everyone stops reading, I want to say that I could not recommend Giulians and their team any more highly. Their professionalism, customer service and care in their final product is exceptional and I could not be more happy and excited about what 'we' as a team produced.Now for those who are still reading, a bit of context to the above statement. When I first thought about proposing to my girlfriend, I did what most men do and visited the usual chain stores. Michael Hill, Prouds, Tiffany, Bevilles, Goldmark, etc. I went into no less than 10 stores trying to find a suitable ring, and in all 10 stores I had exactly the same experience. The conversation went like this:Customer Service (CS)- Looks me up and down, puts on a fake smile and says, 'Can I help you?'Me- 'I'm looking for an engagement ring.'CS- 'What is your budget?'Me- So and so amountCS- Without asking any further questions, proceeds to shows me what they consider to be the perfect ring which just happens to be slightly over my budget...EVERY SINGLE TIME!I was really down hearted because it wasn't what I thought this experience was meant to be about.Compared to Giulians (Alice)Alice- 'Can I help you?'Me- 'I'm looking for an engagement ring.'Alice- Huge, real smile! 'Thats amazing, congratulations, you must be so excited. What are your thoughts, what are you looking for?'Now we're talking! Someone who is excited for me and wants to hear my thoughts. In fact, we had 2 meetings before we even talked budget.We then sat down over a few days and planned, sketched and replanned the perfect, unique, one-of-a-kind ring for my beautiful, unique, one-of-a-kind future fiancé.Alice worked hard to find exactly what I was looking for, calling in favours from contacts in the business, giving me multiple options for each stone and working with the team to produce the perfect ring that has one heck of a story -- a story that is unique to us.Moral of the story, if 'off the rack' and 'mass produced' is 'sufficient' for you, you will find it in spades at the bigger stores, but don't expect them to care about you. If you want something that is unique, high quality and as individual as your relationship and partner, give Giulians a go!

Tippy Hiott: I live in the U.S., in South Carolina. My husband and I have been lucky enough to visit Australia in 2017 and again this year (2020), discovering Giulians during the first holiday and making a point of returning this time. On our first trip, I found the perfect opal necklace, the Australia souvenir for which I had already searched the jewelers of Melbourne, Canberra, and much of NSW. The only drawback was the setting in white gold, because I prefer yellow, but Alice, Gary, and the Giulians staff happily offered to re-set the opal and ship the piece to me at home. Throughout the process, they were careful to keep me apprised of the progress, following through on shipping and delivery. I get many compliments on the necklace, and it is truly the most beautiful opal I have seen!Thus, when we returned to Sydney this year, we made our way to the store to look at pearls, as my husband wanted to buy me a new strand. Alice and her co-workers immediately recognized my opal necklace, which I had worn that day, and they again assisted us in finding the perfect piece, a lovely pearl necklace which I was excited to wear throughout the rest of our vacation and since.Recently, from here in the U.S., I saw a pair of unique earrings, gold baroque South Sea pearls, in my occasional e-mail from Giulians. I couldn't stop going back to the e-mail to look at them, and I wrote several questions to Alice and Gary for specifics about the earrings which they patiently, promptly, and thoroughly answered. Eventually, of course, I gave in to temptation and bought the pair, which the staff there shipped to my home, again being most helpful in communicating the steps in the process.This is a long review, but I so appreciate the fine service and wonderfully special jewelry provided by Giulians. It has been especially notable because I don't sightsee and shop in fancy clothes and jewels; I arrived at the shop both times in casual attire after walking much of Sydney, acceptably but not impressively turned out! I have in some stores been treated dismissively when I don't present the image expected of a well-heeled customer ready to make significant purchases. Nevertheless, Giulians made me feel welcome and valued. For that, and for their marvelous jewelry, I am and will continue to be an enthusiastic patron.

Bob D'Amato: The Bolder Bangle bracelet was alter to fit my wife's wishes perfectly. She loves Opals and would only do business with them. Each of our recent purchases were great.

Doris Pak: Opal is one of my favorite stones, when we visited Sydney in Jan 2020, we were hoping to find something nice and affordable as souvenir of our first visit to the city.On the last day of our stay, we happened to pass by Giulians and found something catches our eyes. Alice has endless patience answering my questions and provided professional suggestions via email. I am super happy to have owned 2 pieces of beautifully crafted opals which I will enjoy wearing.We wish we can resume our overseas travelling soon and visit you in the near future.

Maima Mahiz: Amazing and super happy with the efficient service. Thank you so much Alice for your patience and help. The jewellery is beyond stunning and I really appreciate the value of opals now and hope some day to be back. Thank you and be safe.

sorin dragomir: Professional staff verry helpful

George: I had an engagement ring made here and would recommend to anyone who is looking to do the same to reach out to Alice and Joel. They are artists and you will realise this very early on when working with them.

Jayke Kyndrede: Such a wonderful jewellers! We had some apprehensions about entering at first, as we thought Giulians would be expensive and snooty, but we could not be more wrong!The staff were absolutely lovely, taking the time to offer extremely personal service and show thought and care. We were in Sydney for only 2 weeks, and yet, Alice worked around our schedule to get 2 beautiful platinum wedding bands made bespoke for us at a fantastic price.Alice also recommended some great places for us to visit up in Hunter Valley, and really made our trip smoother and better.For anyone who is interested in seeing some beautiful opals and jewelry, or anyone who wants to get something made, I would highly recommend Giulians. As far as I'm concerned, there is no one better in Sydney!

Barbara Rand: During our visit to Australia this summer , we discovered Guilians Fine Jewelry and worked together with them to design an Opal Ring for me. Getting to pick out my very own stone and working closely with Joel to design the setting for the ring was an incredible experience. My husband and I would definitely recommend this wonderful shop for your Jewelry Needs and Desires!!!!!

Tania: I came back to visit Giulians some 10 years later and Gary still remembered the work he did at the time. Needless to say I could not resist but go for one more piece of his creativity. The great part of Giulians is not only the beautiful masterpieces or the quality of the stones but also the time Gary takes to listen to you and create this unique piece that is only for you. After a few sketches back and forth he created a truly elegant and timeless piece that I love. A big thank you to Gary and Alice for the incredible experience they provide at Giulians!

Karra Ellison: Absolutely fantastic service from Alice, who helped me update a customers valuation. Replied to the original email in no time at all and turned the whole thing around in a few hours. Stellar service!!!

Peter Lambert: I'm an American who had the great pleasure of living in Sydney as an expat from 1997-2001. Giulians was recommended to me by the locals at the time and Gary provided me with terrific pieces at terrific prices. Here I am in 2019, long back in the USA and every September I email Gary to work on what wonderful piece of jewelry I'm giving my wife this year for Christmas. She has quite the jewelry box and it gets better every year. Gary is the real gem in all this!

Sam Lawrence: After not falling in love with any engagement rings we had seen, we came into Giulians and met Gary. He took the time to talk with us and show us some black opal stones before sending us on our way to do some more shopping. My fiancé and I couldn’t shake the idea, so we went back later that afternoon and sat with Gary as he sketched some ideas on his notepad. We were smitten and agreed that he would craft the ring and sell it if we didn’t like it. It was a long two weeks - I couldn’t wait to see the finished product!Gary sent us pictures but they could not do it justice; this is an exquisite piece of jewelry. I’ve had it for two weeks and have already received more compliments than I can count. It’s beautifully crafted, elegant and timeless - everything we hoped for and more. Gary and team, THANK YOU for everything! It was a pleasure to work with you and look forward to working together again. We are already talking about earrings ;) lol. Thank you, thank you!

Victoria Almazova: Found Giulians place by accident while exploring Sydney on a short trip. And this was the best finding for me! Nice and warm service, they really listen in you and your wishes. Alice was really nice and positive! We ended up with earing from Opal for me and I couldn't resist from my long-time wish and bought also diamond earring. Was really impressed that they managed to make earing from Opal in a short time, as I was only one week in Sydney. I really love both earings and enjoy wearing them!Excellent quality and affable people working there! I know which place to visit again next time in Sydney! :)
