Blackacre Reviews 

I was recommended Blackacre through a colleague, to design a bespoke engagement ring for my partner and can't express how grateful I am for their outstanding service! Sam was able to explain everything in layman's terms to allow me to fully understand and involve myself in what is an amazing process. Laura was on hand to teach me about, and help me choose a beautiful stone! From concept to final piece, I was given regular updates and consulted on how the process was going and why certain design decisions were being made in order to make sure I was getting the ring I had envisaged. Blackacre really took what was a daunting task and made it not only simple, but thoroughly enjoyable. I can't thank them enough, they managed to take an idea I had and made it into a work of art!

Great service, and choice of rings! I ended up using Blackacre having read some of the reviews - I wanted somewhere which felt more personal. They were super helpful in finding the right ring and diamonds. They involve you as much as possible, explaining how they go about making your ring, and then keep you up to date with the process. Would highly recommend, especially if you’re unsure where to start!

Sam was excellent and made the process personal, informative and most importantly, reassuring which is very important given it can be quite a daunting experience.

I had complete faith and trust in his knowledge and experience and would happily recommend him and his company to anyone looking for an engagement ring.

He was flexible and accommodating, and took me through the process from initial design to delivery, and allowed me to come to a decision without pressure. The team then created my ring while beating the "due date", and kept me up to date in the process. My fiance loves her ring and I look forward to using Blackacre in the future.

Thanks Sam!

Fantastic service with an outstanding end product - the unique ring that Blackacre created for us is stunning. Sam and the teams process and advice simplifies the complex world of engagement ring shopping into laymen’s terms. From start to finish, the advice was focused on what mattered and the key features that will make a difference, whilst honestly explaining the pros and cons of different stone qualities, designs and settings.
Your engagement matters to the team and they will do all they can to make it special. The Blackacre team designed, sourced and created our ring in an extremely short time period, before shipping to Australia and navigating all the logistical challenges, just in time for our engagement. An awesome team that I can’t speak highly enough of.

My fiancée is over the moon with her ring and she said yes! Every person we have spoken to has commented on the beauty of her engagement ring. I cannot thank Sam, and Blackacre, enough for the guidance and the most amazing end product. The process, which started as a difficult and daunting prospect, ended up being extremely enjoyable and very successful. I would suggest anyone looking for a stunning, bespoke engagement ring, go to Sam, he will take care of you and you won't be disappointed.

I used Sam and Blackacre when choosing / designing an engagement ring for my now Fiancée and could not be happier with my decision.

Sam helped me through my journey which to be honest, I was quite scared about initially. I had a very vague idea of what my girlfriend would like and no understanding of diamonds or other precious stones what so ever. Sam guided me through this journey, educating me a long the way, without guiding me down a certain path. This was super important for me as there is so much to learn and many options available - Sam's no pressure approach was exactly what I needed and what I imagine most people buying an expensive piece of jewellery need!

Sam produced multiple mood boards for me to help me identify types of rings I liked, as well as tailored a few designs to what he thought would be suitable. Once I'd decided on a design, Sam and his team at Blackacre built a truly stunning ring, one which my Fiancée absolutely adores. She also loves the fact that I was so heavily involved in the design process.

I cannot recommend Sam and Blackacre highly enough for a truly exceptional service!

Thank you Sam!!!

From start to finish the experience with Sam at Blackacre was incredible.

Sam is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about creating the perfect ring for your needs and thoroughly explained the design and quality you receive from Blackacre and how they choose the best quality diamonds.

I was kept fully informed throughout the entire manufacturing process, which was particularly important as a tight deadline was needing to be achieved and most importantly my Fiancé is absolutely delighted with the engagement ring.

If you are an absolute beginner in understanding diamond quality and looking for unbelievably high standards, and you are not wanting to make the wrong choice with an extremely important decision, I would highly recommend visiting Blackacre.

Sam's service at Blackacre is exceptional. He offers honest and personalised advice, and wants what is best for you. He really helps you get a feel for the design you want to create, as well as understand the qualities one needs to look for in a diamond. He is attentive and keeps you up to date at every stage of the creation process. My fiancee is absolutely thrilled with her ring. I couldn't recommend Blackacre highly enough, particularly if you want a unique and personalised ring. Thank you Blackacre!

An absolute pleasure working with Sam. His guidance and support throughout the process of creating an engagement ring was invaluable. Made what could have been a daunting process actually very enjoyable! Would 100% recommend.

My wonderful Blackacre engagement ring is stylish, elegant and of a wonderful quality. The workmanship involved is unprecedented and I am extremely happy with it. The Sri Lankan sapphire contrasts perfectly with the beautiful diamonds and I would not have it any other way. Thank you Blackacre for a wonderful creation!

Sam made the process of designing a bespoke engagement ring straight forward and enjoyable.

With limited knowledge and understanding, he took me through a really collaborative and detailed design process giving me real confidence in the end result.

I couldn't recommend Blackacre highly enough.

Blackacre were professional, enthusiastic and helpful and our wedding rings are amazing! Even better than we had imagined. I would definitely use Blackacre again.

We cannot recommend Sam and the team at Blackacre more. They made such a daunting process of creating the perfect engagement ring so effortless, even when dealing with very quick turn-around! From the first appointment, through the design process and fine-tuning the details, Sam was so attentive throughout and kept me in the loop every step of the way. I knew I wanted something very unique and Sam helped bring those requirements to life! Such a fantastic service, even the resizing process took only 48 hours which kept my fiancée very happy. The ring is absolutely stunning and the craftsmanship is of the highest quality.

Thank you Blackacre team, a truly unique experience we couldn’t recommend more.

Hard to know where to begin, it was the most enjoyable experience ‘working’ with Sam & his team creating the perfect engagement ring for my now fiancée. From the first meeting over a glass of wine to seeing the Blackacre Designers in action to the finished product, the experience is everything you’d want when making some big decisions. Sam and the team have an incredible way of making you feel very at ease, helped by their extensive knowledge of all things Jewellery. The ring they created is the most beautiful ring, the attention to detail is a work of art, everyone has been blown away by its beauty it’s made me very popular with my in-laws to be. My fiancée can still be found gazing happily at it weeks later!

I would highly recommend Blackacre to anyone, their experience, knowledge and service is exemplary! It turned what is quite a daunting and exciting step to a highly enjoyable and informative experience. I learnt so much along the way and am incredibly happy with the end product, fortunately my fiancé is too - thank you very much!

Blackacre have been genuinely fantastic!

Sam and the Blackacre team were really knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. They made what could have been a very stressful process really enjoyable, even going above and beyond to sort everything after a couple of mistakes on my side.

I chose Blackacre because my fiancé wanted a sapphire in her engagement ring, i.e. more specialist than only diamonds, so I needed someone who really knew their stuff. After trying out a few different private jewellers, I was most impressed with Blackacre. Sam explained all the different aspects to me and guided me through all the jewellery jargon, to get a final design that I was totally happy with. I was confident I could trust Sam and his team.

The turnaround speed was surprisingly quick, and I have to say the final product blew me and my fiancé away. The quality of the sapphire and accompanying diamonds are excellent, having been hand selected to complement each other by the team.

Thank you very much Blackacre. You will definitely be my go to for my wedding bands and any future jewellery.

One very happy customer!

From start to finish the service was excellent. They took me through all the options at the beginning and explained the process without ever being too pushy. Once the design was decided the process was very smooth. I got updates along the way. The craftsmanship on the finished ring is incredible. So happy!

Definitely would recommend!

I had the most fantastic experience with Blackacre!

Right from the start the whole team went out of their way to ensure that I got the perfect final product. I was kept constantly in the loop with all developments, had stones set aside for me to view that the team thought suited my brief and I even got to see some of the creative process behind the scenes! This level of service and involvement was so calming and helpful when making such an important purchase. It also made the whole process a wonderful and unique experience, which would not be possible to recreate in many places.

One other rare quality that the Blackacre team have in abundance is honesty. Throughout the whole process they always gave me the best advice that would result in the perfect end result. Never once did they base any advice on anything other than a desire to create the most memorable ring for me and for this I am very grateful.

I cannot recommend Blackacre highly enough. A top quality company with some exceptionally talented and wonderful people.

Excellent service throughout to the process. They managed to turn around the ring in a relatively short space of time and the results were spectacular.

Despite the entire process being transacted in COVID lock down I had complete confidence in the final product and the team at Blackacre.

Would definitely recommend using them.
