Diamonds  4 Star Rating - Very good

Golden nugget jewellers carry one of the biggest selection of diamonds i have seen in the city. They have diamonds of all sizes, shapes and clarity. They are very knowledgeable and instruct you on all the things to look for when buying a diamond. They also allow you to appraise the diamonds by a third party. The diamonds are set in beautiful settings of your choice.

Couldn't be happier with my ring! 5 Star Rating - World class

I just got engaged a few days agomy ring is amazingmy finance told me that he had a great experience at Golden Nugget, after looking around at a few other places on Jewelers Row. He said they had the best selection at the best prices and they didnt try to pressure him into buying anything. My finance knew that I wanted a pear shaped diamond in a unique old fashioned setting and I got exactly what I wanted and moreI couldnt be happier! I get so many compliments on my ring! We will be returning to Golden Nugget for our wedding bands.

Pros: great selection, great prices, high quality
Cons: parking in the city

Excellent service, pleasant, knowledgeable staff 5 Star Rating - World class

My engagement ring was purchased after shopping EVERY store on jewelers row! We ended up returning to Golden Nugget on a whim, to see a ring in their window that we just assumed was out of our league financially. Not only was it priced well within our reach, we were able to upgrade the center stone to a larger, better quality diamond than the one originally set in the ring in the window! I love my ring and not a day goes by where someone does not stop me to look at my ring everywhere I go! It is so beautiful and unique! We also bought our wedding rings there as well, and my wedding ring is equally impressive. My husband jokingly says that he is going to send my ring on tour and charge admission to look at it because of the attention it attracts. Just as important as the quality and beauty of my ring is the exceptional service we receive whenever we return to Golden Nugget, especially from (but certainly not limited) to Bill Durso and Fateema Evans, who are such a joy to spend time with! The entire staff is a pleasure to work with, I could not recommend them more highly!

Pros: Excellent service, quality, value, selection, most unique designs on Jewelers Row
Cons: Parking can be difficult, but well worth the struggle!

The ONLY place to buy your Diamond Engagement Ring!! 5 Star Rating - World class

I was looking for a very special, custom made diamond engagement ring for my soon-to-be fiancee and after shopping around I went with the great people at Golden Nugget Jewelers. They hands-down had the most helpful staff with a relaxed atmosphere. They made me very comfortable and put any concerns at ease with their pressure-free environment. I got the best price anywhere and was able to purchase a beautiful custom diamond ring for my fiancee. She gets at least 2 compliments everyday on it!!

Thanks Golden Nugget!

Pros: Staff, Ease of Access, Price
Cons: None

Quality and service can't be beat 5 Star Rating - World class

I purchased an engagement ring with a matching wedding band and I cannot say enough good things about my experience shopping at golden nugget. My sales staff was great. Stacey and Lisa both took their time with me and basically taught me everything I wanted to know about diamonds. They gave me a great price and made me feel confident that I made an excellent choice. I was so satisfied with my experience that I purchased my wedding band there as well, even though I live 5 hours away. My fiancee gets soo many compliments on her ring. Good enough for me. If you want no-pressure, knowledgeable sales people that give great prices with great selection, go to golden nugget. Ask for Lisa or Stacey.

Pros: Service, prices, veriety
Cons: Non

Not the best experience on Custom Made Jewelry 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

My husband and I ordered a custom made diamond ring with 2 sidestones. Our initial experience was pleasant and we picked out the perfect center stone from their loose diamond selection. The price was low compared to anywhere else we looked. We were told that the 2 side stones will be selected to match the center stone we chose. We asked for the ring to be made in18K yellow gold.

When we picked up the ring 2 weeks later, I was not thrilled because I saw that the ring was in 18k Rose Gold, despite the staff telling me that it was yellow gold except with a different mix of metals used to harden the gold. I have over ten other 18K yellow gold rings, and none of them looked like this one - I am certain it's rose gold. In addition, the center stone was a lower quality diamond than the one we picked - they quickly appologized and switched the center stone to the correct one. However, I had doubts that the side stones were matched to the quality of our diamond, despite the appraisal claiming that it is. I suspected that they may have matched it to the lower quality diamond.

The store staff told us that they can make another ring in a more 'yellow' color if I wanted to. I decided to keep it rose - looks unique.
A couple of days later, I examined the ring under a white, natural light lamp with a loupe. I noticed that the end of the prongs were truly yellow gold whereas the rest of the ring was rose color, and the soldering of the prongs were not neat either, but it's hardly noticeable. The side stone, especially one of them, is not as clear as the other one, though it is hard to find natural stones that look exactly the same.
They have a large selection of quality jewelry in stock and the loose diamonds have the best prices around, but if anyone was to order custom jewelry, I would be careful and have everything double checked to make sure it's exactly what you want and what you ordered - call to check on progress.

Pros: Great price on loose diamonds
Cons: Custom Made Jewelry may not be what you ordered
