TESTIMONIALS

As a young man growing up, I had never really been taught about what to look for in a woman, and how to approach a woman romantically. As a result, I became very shy and spent many years single.

However, after a drastic event in my personal life, I realised that I needed a wife. I became so much more aware of my weaknesses and blind spots, and how I needed someone to help me grow as a young man. This is where OCGems came in. Robin was very professional from the beginning, from selecting the design to negotiating the price of the ring, everything was done with meticulous detail and professionalism.

I proposed to my girlfriend and she became my fiance, she absolutely loved the ring and said it reflected the simplicity and beauty of her personality.

I had the option of purchasing a lab grown diamond, which was a much cheaper option, however, I deciding that if my fiance is a genuine woman, she deserves the real thing. I am blessed to have an authentic woman of great character and she has an authentic diamond ring 💍 on her finger. Thank you OCGems for being part of our story!

As soon as I heard a friend from school did some rings I had to get hold of him. Not only for a catch up but to support a falcon old boy!
Robin took time to get to know my girlfriend and asked some good questions when we were going through the rings. I managed to narrow the choices down to 2. Robin carefully considering both options we got it down to one!
From the engagement we got to the wedding bands and from the wedding bands we got to finish off the other side with a matching band.
Five star treatment from him and his team! Looking forward to finding some more jewelry from OCGems in the future.

A huge thank you to Robin and OCGems for all the help! Robin will forever be part of my love story, and I am eternally grateful.

Why have I made such a bold statement? Being a husband was never on the cards for me. I struggled to see the point in the institution of marriage and always thought the concept of getting on one knee was out of date. This all changed when I met the love of my life. She is, I must say, one of a kind and the best person one could ever hope to meet. Alas, I met her, and she chose me.

Meeting the right one put me in the frame of mind to see the beauty and romance in being a husband. All my previous thoughts about the institution vanished, and suddenly, I looked online for all sorts of rings. Everything confused me; it was a complicated world with various technical descriptions that I could not comprehend. Above all, I was not convinced I was getting good value for money.

I spoke about my challenges to a family friend; this is where Robin and OCGems step into my love story. Robin has been a Godsend. He is very knowledgeable; he talked me through the design phase, meticulously explaining diamonds' colour, clarity, cut and carat and how best to navigate them. I had an idea of the kind of ring my fiance would like, and he went away and, with his design team, created various versions for me to consider. The result was a beautifully unique and personal ring with a beautifully intricate inscription inside. Robin was patient, professional, and available and delivered on his stated timelines. My fiance and I are thrilled with the product, and she constantly shows off her ring to everyone and their pets.

I will forever be grateful for all that OCGems did in helping me find the perfect diamond and ring for the love of my life. Thank you

Bengani: Robin is my childhood best friend. I remember when OCGems was just a dream of his, and its been incredible to be able to walk alongside him as he and Desmond made it a reality. So when it was time to find an engagement ring, I knew that Robin and Desmond could help me create something special. Just as diamonds are put through pressure to become beautiful, I’ve watched Robin and Desmond operate under pressure to create so many successful engagement stories. From the creation of the ring to the proposal plan itself, Robin was there every step of the way to help me create a memorable experience. OCGems and the team do not just create jewelry, they create stories of hope, inspiration, and lasting memories. I would 100% recommend anyone to use their services.

Alex: I am in love with my ring from OCGems! OCGems provides a whole experience to their clients and really work to make your engagement story exciting. I wholeheartedly trust and recommend OC Gems to anyone who is interested in creating a truly beautiful and unique diamond piece.

I didn't have to think about where I was going to get the engagement ring for my fiancé. Robin and the team at OCGems were phenomenal. From explaining the 4C's of diamonds, the great design and delivery. I couldn't recommend them more!
Robin's communication throughout the whole process was impeccable and kept me in the loop the entire time. I didn’t make the delivery of the ring easy as I was traveling from South Africa to Zimbabwe and had a short turnaround time between flights. Robin got the ring delivered to me discreetly without my fiancé having any idea!

Firstly, I would like to say a huge thank you to Robin and OCGems for all the help!

Prior to getting engaged, I was clueless as to how complex and detailed finding a ring that I knew my fiancé would love, could be. It can be as simple as going on line and buying the first ring that pops up in google, but that takes all the effort and uniqueness out of it. That’s where OCGems stepped in. And who better than an old school friend like Robin.

Their explanation and assistance through the process of diamond selection using the “C”s as a helping guideline, made me feel like I had known about diamonds my whole life. Not only that, but giving them a budget helped them find me the best option for me. A very personalised experience.

The level of professionalism and respect shown, despite being school friends, proves how they run their company.

I will forever be grateful for all that OCGems did in helping find the perfect diamond, and ring for the love of my life. Thank you

After searching hard to find the perfect ring, I spoke to Robin, who, from start to finish, guided me through every detail I needed to be aware of. I was really pressed for time, but the team at OCGems reassured me that I’d have nothing to worry about. OCGems helped me create a custom-made diamond engagement ring that catered to affordability, and had the ring completed days before I expected. Through them, I was able to plan a proposal and give my fiance an amazing, unexpected surprise. I couldn’t be happier with the service and the quality ring they produced. After searching multiple places, I can vouch that OCGems will give & ensure a great outcome.

We cannot thank you enough for your effort to give my wife the ring she deserves. She is ecstatic about it. She said she would tag you on Facebook with a thank you message with some photos. Your personal card is special. Please never lose touch with who you are now, as I guarantee you’re already the best version of yourself with God by your side. Have a blessed day.

Yolanda

Thank you, Robin and team, for my perfect ring!

When my ring was stolen, I thought I would never get another one so perfect!

But you made my vision come to life. Your service was excellent, and I could recommend you to anyone.

Thank you.

Hendrik & Yolanda

We wanted to do something different with the making of our engagement rings. We wanted to do it ourselves as we felt this would contribute to a special milestone in our lives. As every objective in life has its challenges, this outing was no other as we couldn’t find anyone willing or experienced enough to work with clients who prefer making their own engagement rings. Luckily we came across Robin and Desmond at Outclass Crystallized Gems.

These guys have a passion for what they do, and they go the extra mile to give you insight into their world. We could finally enjoy the art of making our engagement rings with Daniel, an experienced jewelry maker from Leegee Jewelry.

OCGems did the remodeling of wedding bands.

We know Robin and Desmond from when they started their business and became “Brand Ambassadors” for their loose polished diamond brand “Purpose.” This is what sparked our decision to have them remodel our bands which symbolize our love for each other. Randy’s ring was to be a remake that captures our love for each other. The five diamonds on each side symbolize the years, and the center stone is the union of two people. There is infinite love between us at the center.

A look at the end product will convince all that OCGems understood what we were aiming for, as they captured this perfectly. The same is true for Shawn’s band, which has gold in the middle and silver strands on the outside, emphasizing the center as a place filled with love. Robin and Co truly have outdone themselves in the process from inception to the consultation sessions and professionalism. The experience was ultra-professional, and we are truly happy with the final product. OCGems will grow from strength to strength because they allow unions to redefine their love connections as we did. Thanks for your epic services.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your unique, amazing & very adventurous journey. We loved being a part of it every single second. #Throwbackto2018- The story of how Yasuhiro Tsumura(Husband) flew from Japan to South Africa in search of the perfect natural polished diamond for his then beloved girlfriend. It’s true,LOVE can cause us to do extraordinary things.

Some may say it sounds like a scene straight out of Hollywood, others may say it sounds like a Fairytale, but we say it’s unwavering LOVE & COMMITMENT.

Back when he was in high school, during a history lesson, he learned about Kimberley, South Africa. Fascinated by its diamond history, Yasuhiro made a firm commitment to one day propose to his future wife a custom-made engagement ring containing a natural diamond from Kimberley, South Africa. Fast forward years later, Yasuhiro made good on his promise and got onto a plane from Japan to South Africa in pursuit of making this dream a reality.

He then spent two days driving around Kimberley, searching for the perfect diamond. As fate would have it, he came across OCGems on his last day. His story amazed us, and we immediately sought to serve him to the best of our abilities. Yasuhiro not only got his diamond but could enjoy some local cuisine whilst experiencing the local culture. This included going to the Hair Salon and getting a new hairstyle. The experience was mutual as we also learned how to use chopsticks( using two folks). We wish you and your wife the very best for the future.

It was a great privilege and honor to participate in this amazing story. At OCGems we greatly value relationships as our products symbolize commitment, value, integrity, beauty, and, most importantly, love. Therefore, we must reﬂect the aforementioned characteristics and build long-lasting relationships with all our clients.

Mr. & Mrs. Tsumura

What an amazing experience it was to be able to observe and learn about the diamond manufacturing process. When we first thought of creating a ring, our first choice of a jeweler was OCGems because we knew how talented and passionate the team felt about Diamonds. What more could one want in a team? As soon as we started the process, Robin and Desmond were kind enough to walk us through the process, and by that, I mean it in the literal sense. They showed us everything, right from the locations where everything takes place to the equipment used, through the rough evaluation and polishing process. This experience has been special, and insightful and will be a memory never to forget. Thank you OCGems for creating a masterpiece that I will treasure for all the days of my life and pass on to the next generations in our family. A timeless masterpiece, for sure! May you grow from strength to strength and prosper in everything you take on.

Him: At the beginning of this year, while planning for the year ahead, I wondered what I would get for my wife for our anniversary. We were turning 5 years since we said our vows. I then thought we lived in the city of diamonds, so maybe getting a diamond would be a good idea. That was when I called Robin and asked for a meeting. A couple of days later, I was sitting across from Robin in his office as he talked me through what a diamond is…shape, color, cut….etc., I was amazed at the process it takes to create a finished diamond.

Her: Robin and the Outclass Crystallized Gems crew were professional. They gave us options and printed model options to see what the finished product would look like before making the final pick. I am pleased with the whole experience. The final product exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed our invitation to the Outclass Crystallized Gems office, where we saw the whole process of what a rough diamond goes through and the intricate attention to detail every process requires.

Us: Thank you very much, Outclass Crystallized Gems. We are very happy and satisfied customers.

The minute I decided to propose, Robin was the first person that came to mind to create my partner's dream ring! He made the process incredibly easy and stress-free from start to finish. Robin and his selected designer were always tremendously understanding and accommodating when it came to all my design and plan changes. Not only was he fun to work with, but his enthusiasm and investment in the process kept it exciting throughout.

OCGems managed to capture my idea and go on to better it. I couldn’t have asked for any more; the ring is perfect! I look forward to working with both Robin and OCGems again in the future!

Peter and I had been married for almost nine years when I lost the diamond of my engagement ring. After consulting with OCGems, they were up to the challenge to help us restore my ring. They outdid themselves; not only was the diamond of superior quality, they even tidied up some of the flaws to give my ring a finished look. All just in time for our ten-year anniversary. Thank you OCGEMS

Peter & Janet

I am pretty hard on my ring and expose it to all the elements... so it needed a good clean, polish, plating, and some TLC. Kurt was so helpful and friendly. I was very pleased with the result, and my ring looks good as new! Thank you to OCGems and Jewellen.

Kim Hauman

I never thought I would be in this stage of my life and find such joy and peace in finding my best friend and making her my life partner. I got into this step not knowing anything about ring designs and diamonds. It was an absolute pleasure working with Outclass Crystallized Gems. Thank you for assisting us in finding the perfect stone and ring just as we imagined. You made our ring journey a pleasant one and very exciting. Thank you so much

When Letichia and I decided to get engaged and married, we didn’t have the finances to pursue our goal. I tried so many jewelry shops and couldn’t find the ring my wife desired to have, and also, they didn’t have her ring size. I met up with Robin after such disappointment, and I explained to him what I would love to buy for my wife for her engagement. I told him how much my budget was. Robin, knowing that my money wasn’t even close to enough, still took my money and the vision that I had and spoke to his jeweler and designed the perfect engagement ring for Letichia, which was more than three times the amount that I gave. That is not all!!! When all of this was in process, the OCGems team & a couple of friends felt the Lord was laying on their hearts to design and pay for the expenses of the wedding ring for Letichia. When I received this blessing, my heart was filled with joy and excitement. OCGems gave me hope. Doing business with them was more than just money and rings. I experienced genuine love, care, and integrity from Robin, and Desmond who now also became a dear friend of mine. The level of trust that one can put in this company is phenomenal! I am very grateful for this team and the hope they bring to this world. And surely they give quality rings and also quality service.

Letichia Kock. I feel fabulous and gorgeous with these two rings that OCGems designed for me. Based on what I had seen and experienced when my husband was doing business with Robin and Desmond, even though I didn’t know them, I still had the trust and confidence that I could give my husband a perfect ring for our wedding day. Yes, OCGems did a great job in assisting us before the wedding, but they also attended our wedding and still are walking a path with my husband and me. OCGems is about giving hope, building relationships, and loving people.
