The Sometimes Hilarious Problems of Holloway Diamonds: A Candid Look

The Sometimes Hilarious Problems of Holloway Diamonds: A Candid Look

So, you’ve heard about Holloway Diamonds, but is it really the sparkly paradise for everyone? Well, let me be your guide through the glitter and the glamour, as we uncover some of the quirks, quibbles and problems that come with the territory.

Holloway Diamonds is not for everyone:

First off, let’s talk about our diamonds. We’re not your average Joe jeweller. Oh no, our colour and clarity ranges are so narrow, they make a tightrope walker look wobbly. We’re talking about the top 5 colours on the D to Z scale, and for some of our fancy shape diamonds, it’s strictly D to F. We’re all about the eye-clean, top-value diamonds. Sorry, no room for imperfections in this sparkling kingdom. 

Some good news though, you won’t overpay for rarity with no benefit here, folks. At

Although that might not suit everyone. If you’re an investment diamond D Flawless label licker, that’s not our thing. We will only sell diamonds we want back when you want to upgrade. We will give you the full value you paid on the diamonds we believe in. We do not believe in the rare and expensive diamonds that cost twice as much, but with no visibly perceivable difference.

No silver or base metal jewellery, no lab grown synthetic diamonds:

Speaking of exclusivity, we’re like the VIP section of the jewellery world. None of that silver or base metal nonsense here. Nope, it’s only the crème de la crème of materials for us. Specially selected, sparkliest natural diamonds set in platinum, gold, or white gold, with rare, high-quality natural gemstones. Oh, and did I mention we steer clear of lab-grown diamonds? Only the real deal for our discerning clientele.

Destination store in Canterbury:

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: our Canterbury destination store. Sure, it’s not smack dab in the middle of a bustling shopping centre. You won’t find us sandwiched between a fast-food joint and a discount store. We’re a bit more refined than that. You’ll be greeted with a warm welcome, a comfy seat, and even a beverage. Some folks find it intimidating, but hey, we’ll treat you like royalty, whether you roll up in a Bentley or a beat-up old Toyota Landcruiser pickup truck.

Lots of our pieces are custom made to order:

Ah, the joys of custom-made pieces. If you’re in a rush, you might want to think twice. We take our time to craft perfection, which means multiple visits for design approvals, diamond inspections, and fittings. And don’t even get me started on parking near our Brighton store. One-hour carparks? Better make it two, just to be safe. Those meter maids are like hawks, I tell ya.

Procuring the best value diamonds and gems can take time:

Now, let’s talk about procuring diamonds and gems. It’s not as simple as picking them off a tree, you know. We scour the globe for the best of the best, sourced directly from overseas cutters and trading centres. That way we have the best choices at the best prices cutting out the poor old style middlemen. It’s like a treasure hunt, but with more carats and fewer pirates. 

Trust is everything:

And last but not least, trust. It’s the cornerstone of our business. Sometimes, you gotta put your faith in our systems and processes, honed over nearly five decades. Can’t inspect that gemstone in person? No problemo. We’ve got your back. Plus, with our upgrade service and warranty guarantee, you know we’ve got skin in the game. Just be prepared to cough up a non-refundable but transferrable deposit. Hey, trust ain’t free, folks.

So there you have it, the ups and downs, the ins and outs of Holloway Diamonds. It’s a wild ride, but hey, isn’t that what makes it all so darn sparkly?
