Where to even begin — WOW. I am so thankful. After months of battling with my engagement ring purchased abroad, Alan and his team remanufactured the ring including matching wedding bands that are just surreal. Thank you so much for making my dreams come true.

Alan and his team did a magnificent job making my engagement ring. My fiancé and I spent time explaining our vision to Alan and he personally responded to each message, addressed our concerns, and explained how our design could be executed beautifully while keeping structural integrity for everyday wear. The CAD process was handled carefully, updates were clear, progress pictures were sent throughout, and the final ring was perfect. The experience was personable, professional and reassuring every step of the way. Great quality, great service and great prices.

10/10 Would recommend. They are the best people to entrust with your vision. Their excellent communication and response time is unmatched. We waited weeks to receive quotes from other custom ring companies where OgilvieGems responded in under an hour. They work with your budget and they work fast. I am beyond grateful for our beautiful wedding bands and my stunning engagement ring that they helped my fiancé design.

As a nail technician, I work with my hands all day, so I need jewellery that is strong, reliable and comfortable. I can honestly say the quality is exceptional. Their customer service has always been friendly, quick and helpful. Any question I had was answered with real care. It is clear they stand behind their products and truly value their customers. Highly recommended.

I cannot even express how I truly felt throughout my experience with Ogilvie Gems. They were absolutely amazing, brought my vision to life, and I own the most gorgeous ring. Crystèn was an absolute gem.

THANKS OGILVIE!!! Where do I even begin? My now-fiancé (thanks to you guys!) has a very particular taste in jewelry and a deep love for birdwatching. I wanted to bring those passions together in something truly special—not just another piece from a retail store. Honestly, I thought custom jewelry would be way out of reach because in my mind, it always seemed too expensive. Then I discovered Ogilvie online, and I knew I had to reach out. From the very first interaction, they impressed me more each day. Their responses to my emails were quick, they patiently refined the designs we discussed, and ultimately, they brought our vision to life at a price that was more than reasonable. The proof is in the ring itself—my fiancé hasn’t stopped showing it off to everyone, and she absolutely loves it. Thank you, Ogilvie, for making this new chapter in our lives possible. We’ll definitely be coming back to commission our wedding bands and any future custom fine jewelry pieces.

Beyond impressed From the outset, I was incredibly impressed with Ogilvie Gems. Crystèn consistently responded within 24 hours, offering thoughtful options and making me feel valued as an individual rather than just a customer. I also had the pleasure of meeting Jean-Marie, who carefully assessed my sentimental diamond and tested the metal with great professionalism. Throughout the entire process, I was kept fully informed—from the initial receipt of the diamond, through the design scale and structural integrity stages, to receiving images of the beautiful final piece. After working with Crystèn and Alan, I would not consider going to another ring company. Thank you for making this experience so seamless and special.

Bringing a dream to life After a long search filled with ups and downs, not knowing who to trust, worrying about quality, payment options, timing... I'm honestly grateful my algorithm led me to the best jewellery company in South Africa. I needed the ring fairly urgently, and I had a few concerns about getting everything started. You ever think someone won't understand you? Maybe they will a little bit, but not all the way... well, Crysten and Ogilvie Gems just happened to understand me all the way. When I reached out, they didn't make me feel like a burden or an exception. They simply listened, understood my situation, and guided me through the process in a way that made everything feel manageable and respectful. That alone already set them apart. From the very beginning, they treated this ring as more than just a piece of jewellery. It felt like they understood the meaning behind it, the story tied to it, and the future it represents. Every update, every small detail, every design choice carried a level of care that felt deeply personal. Ogilvie Gems didn't just make a ring; they created something that feels alive with intention, something that reflects who my wife is and everything she means to me. What also impressed me was the way they handled the entire process. They were supportive from start to finish, always communicating clearly, always patient, always making sure I felt involved. Every detail is clean, intentional, and beautifully finished. And for the quality they delivered, the pricing was impressive. I'm genuinely grateful. If anyone is looking for assurance, delivery in jewellery crafted with soul and precision, Ogilvie Gems is the place to go. Thank you Crysten! Thank you Ogilvie!

I am completely satisfied with the service and quality received from Ogilvie Gems. All enquiries and updates were answered and given very expeditiously. Without meeting Alan face to face as I am based in Cape Town, everything was handled with ease by phone calls and email updates. The ring was delivered at my door in the promised time frame. Highly recommend! It was our honor to serve you and your wife to be in creating that exceptional perfect engagement ring💍💞

From the First email to the moment she said "YES" - OgilvieGems went out of there way to assist. All the way out of Spain the Ring was ordered and i was kept up to date about everything. Even with a deadline over new years the Ogilvie Team made it happen. Thanks guys. P.S, i still catch her staring and smiling at her ring.
