I could not recommend Bud at Si Vis Amari enough. I was looking for a unique engagement ring but could not find a style I liked. Right from the start Bud was welcoming and patient, taking the time to explain the 4 c's of the diamonds and going through different designs. I met Bud several times before finally deciding on The One. There was never any pressure to buy at all and Bud would always reply to a text or email the same day to answer any questions. Even when there was a slight issue when the ring was delivered (it had been slightly over polished by the manufacturer). I was planning to propose in Canada and so I was panicking about the replacement being delivered in time. Bud went out of his way to get the ring to me, meeting me on his day off to ensure that the perfect ring was delivered before our flight! My fiance is over the moon with her engagement ring and we are looking forward to getting our wedding rings from Bud in the near future.

Just like the diamonds Bud supplies, everything about Si Vis Amari is incredible. From the initial meeting- like many who have used Bud’s services, I wanted a special experience that was impossible to get at a high street jeweller and the reviews here were second to none. At that meeting Bud took time and care to explain all he could about diamonds and listened to what I wanted. There was no pressure to buy or up my budget and I left confident that I not only knew what I wanted but felt comfortable with my choices. It also seemed that you got so much more bang for your buck as well- I couldn’t believe the prices, such a great deal. From there on the service and communication was excellent. And when the ring arrived- it was just incredible. Beyond expectation and imagination. I genuinely have never seen anything as glorious. The appeal of diamonds had always been lost on me but not now I have seen this. There are no words.And having now finally seen it on my fiancée’s finger? It looks even better. She has not stopped beaming and looking at it in every different kind of light.Thanks Bud, you’re a real gem and I cannot recommend you enough.

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
