Si Vis Amari - Bespoke Jewellers

If you're after jewellery for any occasion, Bud is worth a visit. The first meeting was a two-hour education on diamonds, the GIA grading system and its significance. After my free lesson, Bud placed no expectation on me to utilise his services. I used my new knowledge to make sense of what high street and high end jewellers offer, what they were offering and its relative value. After the second shop, it was clear that Bud was far superior to what was offered elsewhere.Having not found anything that fit my requirements, Bud told me that he was able to create something suitable, and after finding a design I liked he set about making it.As if that wasn't difficult enough, I asked him if it could be ready in a month, he said he has never failed to deliver yet.He was true to his word and delivered a bespoke ring inside a month that exceeded my expectations. Having looked at high street and high end jewellery shops, what Bud delivered is so much better value than anything else on offer, and crucially, it can be made to your individual specification.I've already asked Bud for wedding bands. His reputation is well justified; nearly 100 5* can't be wrong!

When beginning my search for an engagement ring, I was lucky enough to find this business and it stood out through its high ratings. From the first call he put me at ease with the whole process, which can be naturally stressful. His approach is worlds apart from most high-street jewellers. Bud genuinely cares about what he produces and wants to deliver the best product he can for you, within your budget and without any pressure.This was probably the best customer service I have ever experienced. Bud is equally a fantastic professional as he is a top guy and any potential customer shouldn’t hesitate to get in touch for any jewellery needs, his work speaks for itself. My Fiancè loves her engagement ring, I thoroughly enjoyed the process of design and we are delighted with the end product. Cheers Bud.

I was in search of a bespoke diamond Engagement ring, and after visiting a couple of well known High Street Jewellers I got the feeling the process would be slow, and hard work, and disappointing, and set off in search of a more tailored approach.After a bit of a google search, I found Si Vis Amari, and figured I'd make an appointment, after all, couldn't be worse than my high street experiences.The very first moment I met Bud, I felt right at ease, he's such a welcoming, easily approachable man. As our initial meeting progressed, it became clear to me that I had absolutely made the right decision contacting Bud. Within half an hour he had already imparted more wisdom on me than the collective hours I'd already spent at high street Jewellers.I went in almost blind, and came out full of the right knowledge, which is exactly what I needed.Over the next few weeks, we met a couple more times to fine-tune and perfect the design we had initially discussed. Bud left no stone un-turned as he made absolutely sure that the brief we had discussed initially was met, giving sound advice along the way, and his attention to detail is second to none!The end product was amazing, and surpassed all my expectations. With Bud's passion, experience, and knowledge there was never going to be any other outcome!After all the work Bud had put in, my Girlfriend and I were on holiday in Iceland when I found the courage to propose to her. She said yes, and she is absolutely besotted with the ring that Bud and I designed and created.I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Bud and his services to anyone, and whilst it's hard to take anything you read online, from a complete stranger, at anything more than face value, trust me you will NOT be disappointed!Dave and Laura

I couldn't recommend Bud enough. When looking for a custom made engagement ring I contacted Bud due to the incredibly high google reviews and I am delighted to say that they are completely justified. During our first appointment Bud spent an hour and a half talking me through everything I needed to know while listening to the design I wanted. Following our initial meeting he continued to guide me through the process with multiple iterations and tweaks to the design. The end result is something we are both thrilled with. Thanks Bud! Joel and Bex.

Many thanks to Bud, very polite person, helped us choose the design of the rings, the diamond, the type of metal.  It is clear that the man knows his business.  The rings look great.  Definitely recommend!

I contacted Bud for help in finding a diamond engagement ring after reading all of the positive reviews on the website. I have certainly not been disappointed. Bud gave me an in-depth introduction to diamonds and helped guide me towards the type of stone that would suit the ring setting I was looking for. Once I had chosen the stone and the ring setting, I decided that I would like to make a small change to the ring setting. Bud told me this was no problem and within a couple of minutes a phone call had been made and my ring setting was able to be customised. I was very well supported throughout the whole process of making an initial decision on the stone and setting to placing an order.I decided to propose in New York and Bud was able to supply me with a narrow ring case that was idea was travel and great for concealing the ring in a pocket. I have no regrets about choosing Bud and I will back again when I need my wedding rings.

I was after an engagement ring for my now fiancee, and I got put in Bud's direction. From the start Bud was really helpful, put me at ease and went above and beyond in helping choose the perfect engagement ring. I only had 2 and a half weeks to the date I wanted to propose and the ring was ready with a couple of days to spare. My fiancee is absolutely over the moon with her engagement ring. Bud's passion for his job shows in his work and personally I leave this experience of buying an engagement ring with the feeling that he genuinely cared. These reviews speak for themselves and I would highly recommend Bud. We will be back for our wedding rings. Top man.

Let’s get right to it, I cannot recommend Bud enough. We went to visit multiple jewellers before making a decision. We visited greater Manchester, London (Hatton Garden) and areas in Warwickshire. In the end, we decided to go with Bud and were not disappointed for one moment!As previous reviewers have stated, his patience is second to none. Bud walked us through the process in a way that made us feel very comfortable and allowed us to really find exactly what we were looking for. Once found, he went to great lengths to ensure we has the exact stones we wanted. Trust me, our requirements were plentiful and none of them easy! However, Bud absolutely NAILED it! We will be going back for our wedding rings for sure. Finally, Bud made sure we were able to get the absolute best price for what we were looking for.All around, it was a very pleasurable experience and one I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Bud was absolutely fantastic for me from start to finish, and I would 100% recommend him to anybody seeking tips on where to go for an engagement ring.As someone with little to no knowledge of diamonds or gemmology in general, Bud took the time to give me a little more detail on the characteristics of diamonds, how they are categorised and what each category means, making the whole process that much more interesting for me.Thereafter the process was really interactive, and the piece that we (largely, he due to my own creative deficits) designed and created is just stunning, and my now fiancée is in love with it. Bud was always on hand if I had any questions or concerns, and managed my expectations on timings brilliantly as well.I will undoubtedly be going to Bud for mine and my partners wedding bands, and likely will not go elsewhere for jewellery in general again now.

Amazing service with amazing results.As soon as I met Bud I knew I had chosen the right person to help me decide on the right ring for my partner. Upon our first meeting he patiently covered all of the different options and routes we could take the design, efficiently narrowing it down to a style that is perfect for my partner. At no point did I stressed or under pressure to overspend, it was in fact a pleasure to meet someone as passionate about their work as Bud is.I cannot recommend Bud enough and my fiancée absolutely adores her new engagement ring. We will almost certainly be coming back for our wedding bands in the future.Thank you again for everything,Jon & Heather
