It would seem, Littlepen, that we have visited the same jewellers with the same kind of success and failure. My Husband bought me a beautiful replacement engagement ring from Asian Jewellery House. Showed me a yellow gold but I wanted White, no problem, would make me one. Not cheap at nearly £700 but I was worth it. Within a couple of months the band was going yellow and the large sapphire came out, LOST. Took it back on next visit, no problem, replaced it, no charge, HMMM! Admitted that he had dipped to get the white gold and would do it again, Came back beautiful though still not happy that only a coating and not white gold. Anyhow, this year when I went back I too went to Goan Royal Heritage Hotel @ Candolim, Lovely genuine people, who gave me their opinion on the ring, stone replaced was not the right size, was a sapphire but not a good one, needless to say I am not impressed, obviously the value has decreased, was valued here originally at over double original cost. Goan Royal tempted me with what was a new sample design, beautiful, asked for a couple of changes to the stones, Beautiful and different. Will I be going back? I certainly will and am happy to recommend them to anyone.

sounds like what happened to my rings they dip yellow gold in white and put wrong size stone in mount they good at that !! no good huh good to see you found a better jewlers second time , i started the post my rings are back in goa right now a lady from uk took them back for me, i hope they will be better once back will let you know.

Hi, I hope you are happy when your rings come back. Unfortunately I am so disappointed with mine. It is so beautiful but the stone being wrong has really upset me. I should have taken it back. A bit of an expensive thing to have done but hopefully will do on my next trip. I am totally satisfied that the one I had bought for me last visit is actually white gold and not yellow dipped. Good luck.

well finally got the rings back made in yellow gold.guru did what he said, that he will re do the rings in yellow gold as
the white gold wore off within a week of getting home.

The wedding bands are great, but the engagement ring is not set straight.and as it is hand made, not so nice, i took it to a jewler, who said india is great for its diamonds, but they are not the best in making rings.!!also when he looked at the ring he said it is not finnished off well, you can see the file marks..a bit of as bodge job.....i am going to get it re set here in the uk, for £150 then i will be happy.just make sure you check your rings with a fine tooth comb.

wel just to finnish on the topic of my ring lst week had them back from valuation and the engagment ring we bought for £1500 is worth £4,000.
and the larger wedding band wass £100 is worth £275 and the smaller wedding band was £100 and worth£210 so al in all

we paid £1700
and have rings worth £4,485

would recommend buying in india just make sure they are made to your satisfaction.

Good luck everyone

Just felt I needed to say that my family and I have been visiting and buying from Guru Jewels in Candolim for the past 5 years. I've had a problem once just recently with a ring I purchased 1st time I went in shop ......a diamond fell out .....I was gutted.....but after speaking with Haresh and Pradeep the problem was sorted (ring was sent back with another customer of theirs and returned two weeks later - problem solved !). Also my niece had her engagement ring designed and made by Haresh. Her now husband phoned him from the uk, told him what he wanted etc and low and behold three months later when they went on holiday to Goa it was ready and waiting....... and to my nieces delight she returned from her hols an engaged young lady with a truly beautiful and unusual ring !

Anyway I could go on for ages ...they are good guys and always very helpful, I have recommended them so many times and will continue to do so.

So if you have a problem,just call them..both their mobile numbers are on their business card and I'm pretty certain they will help.

Hi Everybody,

Just to say we have been using Guru Jewellers for seven years now and we have found them very trustworthy and nice people to deal with, when we have had a problem it has been sorted out with minimal fuss and we shall always use them. Haresh is the man to deal with and he is very fair, he will come down on price but he know's his job very well and would not drop to a silly price because he know's that he is selling quality.

Every time we have had our jewellery valued in England it has been at least three times what we paid for it and we also have two friends, one who is a diamond merchant and one who is a very good jeweller and both have said it is very good quality what he is selling.

Recommended again and again and again.

Please tell Haresh that you were recommended by Mike and Carol, you never know you might get more discount many of our friends have.
