We live in Australia and were looking for an engagement ring made by a particular designer (Kirk Kara). Ben Garelick was one of only two authorised retailers at the time, as the brand isnt available in Australia at all. Its not an easy decision to buy expensive jewelery from an online store, especially when its in another country. Theres a concern about the quality, fraud, and you cant see or touch the item so its a big leap of faith. However we had an amazing experience and would not hesitate to recommend this business to anyone, anywhere. We communicated entirely through email, and nothing was too much of a problem. From the sizing of the ring, and how it should feel when it goes on, and the amount of difficulty in getting it off, to even offering us a discount code for the checkout, we just had a wonderful, comforting, experience. We would absolutely buy from here again. A small warning to Australian residents in particular, the Government held our ring in customs until we could fill out a declaration form about the cost of the ring, and pay the import duties and GST on the entire purchase including the postage! LOL so ridiculous. So my advice would be if youre planning on going to the US, make the purchase when youre there, then have the item delivered to your hotel, and definitely dont declare it when you get back!! Otherwise budget for around 12% (to be safe) on top of the online price after conversion to AUD.
