Amazing Austen & Blake!
We made an appointment at the Manchester store to buy our wedding rings and Charlotte our diamond specialist was above and beyond helpful in supporting us with choosing our wedding bands and talking us through all the options. We even decided to upgrade my engagement ring to complete the set. We were able to collect them in only 3 weeks and the rings are absolutely gorgeous!! Can’t thank Austen and Blake and Charlotte enough for sorting us out! Amazing customer service and customer experience end to end.

Great people to deal with
Great people to deal with. Excellent product. Thought I would have to return the earrings ( my decision) and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Choose not to return in the end.
Great shopping experience.

Very happy with the ring
Great product, quick and efficient, Aneesah was very helpful. Too many promo emails cluttering my inbox though, need to tone that down as I missed my collection date email in the deluge.

20 out of 10 all day long
Absolutely tremendous service from the minute we walked through the door, through the ‘trying on of the ring’, waiting for the ring to come and then finally picking it up. The feel good factor is never more evident than when you visit this shop. Michael was fantastic and underpins this review. We are going back for our wedding rings without a second thought

My experience
The service provided by Michael and his staff was exceptional.
Prior to the proposal, head office sent letters to my address, which was an unsatisfactory gesture. Had they not been so considerate, I would have canceled my order. However, the understanding and assistance I received from Michael and the staff were invaluable, leading me to decide to proceed with the purchase.
Despite the unfortunate incident, I would wholeheartedly recommend them to my friends and plan to return for the wedding bands.

10/10 experience, can’t fault them.
Great experience throughout the entire process. Had plenty of help and guidance from a lovely women called Roseanne who made the whole purchasing and collection process very easy. 10/10 would recommend, they’re faultless.
Also their staff at the Manchester branch are super kind and friendly and really customer driven.

Great service by Alyshia
Purchased an engagement ring back in November and had a brilliant experience from attending the appointment to getting the service I needed to pick the ring on the day. It was exactly what we wanted and the options provided were extensive. Alyshia was brilliant throughout the whole process and I recently returned to have the ring resized and again everything was sorted wth zero issues. Would highly recommend Austen Blake.

From our first visit to the store, Alyshia was wonderful. She gave us the opportunity to view a few of the ring styles we had seen online.
We proceeded to place our order and had left it a little late. As promised, our rings arrived before Xmas and in time for our Engagement! :)
We will definitely be using Austen & Blake again soon.

Engagement ring
A huge thank you for alyshia at the Manchester store, her service was brilliant! I originally went in September after visiting a few diamond retailers and engagement shops over a period of time, I instantly felt confidence in alyshia and she helped me secure the perfect engagement ring for my girlfriend compared to some of stores I just didn't get the same vibe there. With little knowledge of diamonds and the types of rings personally, alyshia educated me and provided support in choosing exactly what my girlfriend would have wanted, safe to say she loves it and we're on cloud nine, thank you so much for your brilliant service and for the great communication and updates over the last few months!! We'll certainly be back to chose our wedding rings from here! Xx

Dealt with Alyssia and Rosie at Manchester store, both very pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable.
Have bought several items over past few months and only reason not given 5 stars was that in a couple of instances delivery time was longer than expected.

The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. We bought both of our wedding rings from the Manchester store and really enjoyed the experience. The sales assistant was knowledgeable and didn't pressure us at all. We're really happy with the rings we've chosen.

And still waiting to hear from them
And still waiting to hear from them, issue after issue. Terrible customer service, you try and call and no one picks up. The band of the ring has changed shape twice. And both time we had to take the ring back to the Manchester store driving in and taking time out to do this. For such a big purchase do not use them... this is the Manchester store but I wouldn't advise you to use any store. We are still awaiting an outcome and just now tried to call again and I still can't get hold of anyone. For such a big thing they have ruined every part of my current experience of being engaged - in terms of the ring. I loved the look of the ring but once we noticed the band changed shape I was upset, and now I’m still waiting to hear the outcome weeks on. After calling 20+ times this morning I have finally got through to someone who couldn’t give me any more information than I already knew but assured me we would hear from someone to sort the issue… it’s crazy that I’m having to chase this at this stage. The whole experience has totally tainted it and I will be doing another review to update this. But from my current situation and having worked in e-commerce for a big brand myself and knowing how a good brand works I would never advise anyone to use them.

As this was my first experience buying a ring a didn't know what to expect. Rosie at Austen Blake in Manchester was amazing from the second I met her. Gave me great advice answered all the questions I had and her patience and customer service was great. Couldn't recommend her and her team enough. Their rings are of course stunning also.
