I got my Engagement ring from Voltaire diamonds. Seamus is a good guy and won't put you wrong, his major concern is that you're happy with the ring you get. I actually went back to him today as I wanted his opinion on something I thought I noticed about my ring I hadn't before. Turns out it was a facet I was seeing under strong spotlights, which put me at ease as all I was concerned with is that it wasn't a serious flaw, which I doubted anyway as it's certified and looks amazing, but being new to it all, better to ease your mind. I love my stone, but he told me if I'm not a hundred percent happy and it's annoying me, he'd be more than happy to source another stone in the same spec for me.
It would be a very good idea to do your homework before making an appointment though, as I was quite new to diamonds and had no previous knowledge, on my first visit I was quite overwhelmed with all of the information you need to know before making a decision on size to fit budget and cut etc. I am happy with the service, Seamus is very approachable, will clean your ring every few months for free when you feel it needs a clean, and charges a very good price for white gold plating, when it's needed. My ring is so sparkly, I still have to slap myself not to look at it when I'm driving my car!!
It may be cheaper to go away but for me, the cost of the trip for both of us along with the fact I get my ring cleaned for free and Seamus is there if I ever want to go into him and ask him anything about it won me over to get my ring here. But it is all personal choice though... Happy hunting

A life time warranty? Are u serious
what car , jumper kitchen appliance cames with a life time warranty? I am sure the cover is as per every jewellery shop , but if you bash it and mark the ring or knock out a stone, you are likely to have to pay yourself. 0 -

We got our engagement ring from Voltaire and we would highly recommend them! My OH proposed at the start of the year with his great great grandmothers engagement ring as a proposal ring and so the search for my engagement ring began.
We did the usual high st trying on but having done so much research on diamonds we felt more knowledgeable than the sales assistants who just kept referring to the rings as "Oooohh look aren't they sparkly"!! We noted cost etc but most rings weren't certified and they could tell us little about even the basics such as the 4 C's. TBH I already had a ring in mind and we found a very close one to it in Weir and Son but it was €9K...........ridiculous money to us to spend on a ring.
I found out about Voltaire and arranged an appointment. We set a budget of 3.5k as we thought that was reasonable also my OH had spent nearly 2k putting real diamonds in his grandmothers ring to propose with. (It was also a gift to me, with his mothers blessing as he has no sisters, in time it will be passed to our little girl). We had a chance to view both fake and real diamonds on the day and sure enough there was my dream ring (real diamonds!) It was 1.5k over our set budget so Sarah who was a pleasure to deal with emailed us a couple of days later with the spec of ring we could get for our budget, it would have been made exactly the same only a smaller carat, clarity etc.
As a surprise my OH went in a got the ring I had originally tried on, he said Sarah wasn't a bit pushy and kept asking about the budget and if he was sure. I think that just proves Voltaire aren't out to try sell the bigger diamond but really take into account what their client wants. I am so happy with my ring and have received so many compliments. Also the very similar ring I had tried in Weir and son for 9k was a smaller carat, a J colour vs the G colour of my ring and a poorer clarity........so yes very good value!! Looking forward to getting our wedding bands from Voltaire next year!0
