#64. 'From the moment we stepped into the pristine store, Sue warmly welcomed us, and offered us constructive advice and suggestions. Not only is she is highly knowledgeable and fully conversant with all aspects of her trade, Sue is professional and efficient. Sue was most patient with us and listened carefully to our requests. The recommendations she made were exactly right. Sue sourced one item we were wanting from another part of NZ in record time. One other piece of jewelry which she arranged to have custom made, arrived several weeks ahead of schedule and we couldn't be happier with it - absolutely perfect. Sue regularly kept in contact with us to update us regarding progress of our order. It has been a real pleasure dealing with Sue, we feel like we have gained a friend.'

#65. 'My visit to Walker & Hall was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to Aniket. I was on the hunt for a Mother’s Day gift, and Aniket’s expertise and genuine interest in helping me find the perfect piece made all the difference. He listened to my story and recommended a stunning necklace that my mother absolutely adored. His kindness and professionalism turned what could have been a stressful search into a delightful experience.'

#66. 'A warm welcoming visit to the new Christchurch store, Jas was exceptionally helpful and very engaging with myself and my daughter. Loved the detail in getting the correct fit for my new ring.'

#67. 'My fiancé and I visited Walker & Hall in Riccarton to consult for his wedding band. The service was excellent, and all the ladies were so friendly and knowledgable, with such good advice around style and materials that we ended up also buying my wedding band and another necklace for the wedding as well. Our rings also were ready to collect in a timely manner. Couldn’t be happier with our experience.'

#68. 'I highly recommend Walker & Hall for your next special jewellery purchase. The team (specifically Ria) are amazing and very helpful. You’ll be sure to find the perfect piece whatever the occasion. 10/10, thank you so much.'

I recently needed to replace several of my daughter’s rings, after they were stolen from her car - Honzel was amazing. She showed compassion for our situation and moved heaven and earth to ensure we got replacements.'

  • #77. I am extremely impressed with the experience I’ve had at Walker & Hall thanks to Daisy. I lost one of my most precious rings and Daisy looked after me throughout the whole process from arranging another ring to be sourced, sized and delivered to me safely. She is a total GEM to the company
