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

Bud is brilliant! After months of knowing that I wanted to propose, but not knowing where to start as I did not know anything about diamonds or rings, and being somewhat daunted about the whole process - I came across Si Vis Amari online and was immediately impressed by the reviews they had received. I knew from my first telephone contact with Bud that I was in safe hands. At our first meeting he extremely patiently explained the different options available to me and his professional guidance helped me find the perfect ring and diamond with none of the stress I feared! In fact because Bud is such a lovely guy I actually enjoyed the process! The price was extremely reasonable too, and Bud never pressured me to overspend. My fiancée loved her ring and we returned to Bud to find our wedding rings, which again were perfect for us. Could not recommend him highly enough! Thanks, Matt (&Jeny)

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.
