At Girls Best Friend we have a database and inventory listings with thousands of diamonds. We are not just looking at the inventory of one diamond dealer therefore we can find the best diamond for you.

We are not your traditional jewellery retail store with high fixed overheads. We do not have a glamorous shop with expensive displays and the costs of rent, excessive advertising, security, insurance and employee’s salaries.
What we do have is a passion for jewellery and the expertise. At every step we encourage you to contact us and we will meet with you in person, or communicate via email or telephone and will answer all your questions and provide you with friendly, expert advice. Our aim is to offer you something which you can afford and which you or your loved one will be proud to wear and cherish.

Once you decide on a particular diamond, we do a personal inspection of the diamond. It is a detailed physical inspection of the diamond itself to ensure that the diamond is 100% as specified in the certificate from the E.G.L or D.I.A laboratories and that it has the expected quality and beauty. This ensures that there will not be a problem concerning size, colour, clarity or proportions.
Seeing that we endeavor to get the perfect diamond for you we will describe every aspect of a diamond whether it is good or bad. You are welcome to inspect the diamond at our offices prior to it being set.
(NB: Certificates are only provided for diamonds of 0.30ct. and bigger)
