Friendly and professional

We had a great experience buying our rings at Austen and Blake. William took the time to understand what we were looking for and was professional and personable throughout. It was a smooth and positive experience, with us receiving great service from first walking into the shop through to choosing, sizing and picking up our rings. Thanks!

CRITICAL SERVICE FAILURE

CRITICAL SERVICE FAILURE: Leeds branch took my fiancés ring on 11th April for resizing. It has been over a month. My wedding is 29th May. They have ignored 3 consecutive emails this week. I am 15 days away from my wedding with no ring and zero communication. Absolute radio silence.

Hello Charlotte,

Thank you for reviewing your experience with us, we appreciate you taking the time to do so.


At Austen & Blake we pride ourselves on offering the highest level of customer service and highest quality items, unfortunately you have mentioned on this occasion we’ve fallen below our usually high standards.

We sincerely apologise for this frustration concerning you and your fiancés experience with resizing. We have sent you a request for some further details. Could you respond so that we can resolve this for you as quickly as possible? 

Kindest regards,



The Austen & Blake Team

Very poor services department and communication

My partner is currently dealing with them as we have been waiting over a month for a resizing of the engagement ring, and the communications have been all over the place. After three weeks, he emailed for an update as he was told it would be a fortnight until we had the ring back. They said it was stuck in the waiting line to be repolished, and had the same response when he'd enquired a week later. After another week of waiting, he received an automated email saying they have received our ring and the exchange process will happen shortly... and then another email to say they have received the diamonds for the ring?
He rang to make a complaint today, and they have said there were delays as a diamond became loose during the process, and we should have the ring by next week.
I don't believe a word of it, and after reading other people's experiences, I am very dubious to whether this will be a ring that lasts a lifetime (or even a month).
This was supposed to be such an exciting time, and it has been very stressful having to chase up a company who were so lovely when dealing with my partner to select the design. He feels cheated of an exciting experience and upsold a very poor quality service.
As his fiancée, I want to feel excited to receive my ring, but now am just worried that it will either not arrive, or fall apart when it gets here.

Highly recommend Austen & Blake for quality and transparency

If you are looking for a jeweler that combines expert knowledge with genuine care, look no further. Amber helped me select an engagement ring and her support was invaluable. She was patient and professional, making herself available even outside of standard hours to assist.

The brand offers a fantastic range of customizable options, and their pricing is transparent, which gave me total peace of mind. A truly top-tier service!

Wedding bands bought!

William was brilliant, helped my fiancée narrow down what she wanted for her wedding band which is no small feat!

Similarly helped me refine the styling of my ring, working out the size for the first time.

Wedding bands purchased, thank you very much!

Excellent service

Fergus was extremely helpful throughout our appointment, took us through all the options and explained everything really well. We walked out having purchased our future wedding rings and were very happy with the service.

The best!

I recently purchased a diamond from this shop and had an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The quality of the diamond exceeded my expectations, and the entire process felt smooth, professional, and genuinely enjoyable.

A special thank you to Amber, who was incredible throughout. Her knowledge and experience really stood out, she took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and made me feel completely confident in my purchase. It’s rare to come across someone so passionate and well informed.

I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and the service I received. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something truly special. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wonder experience with Austen & Blake

Wonder experience with Austen & Blake. Used them for the engagement ring, and then my partner and I returned to get our wedding rings. Went through the process with us explaining everything, we went for a bespoke ring for my partner and Katy oversaw the process and made us feel very looked after, with quick communication and got back to us regarding any query we had.
Would highly recommend to anyway.
