Jewelry making classes in Auckland

“I am so happy I followed my parents advise and went into Sona Sansaar to make enquiries about wedding bands for my wedding. From the customer service to the hospitality to the pricing..... I don't think I will be going any where else for jewellery needs in future. Their team can also do custom work and bring ideas to life. Highly recommend for anyone making small or big jewellery decisions. I can't thank their team enough.”

“I had family jewellery re-designed into a new ring. From the initial design process to the finished product the process was personal and professional, which was so appreciated. We now have a new family heirloom”

“I had an amazing experience working with Colin. A truly remarkable job was done to make my dream rings come to life. I could not have come up with such a beautify design on my own and Colin somehow read my mind, creating the perfect design. We both love it so much and I am blown away by the quality of his work. Can wait to work with you on future projects”

“Lucas is phenomenal! I had a family heirloom which I wanted upgraded to be a more contemporary wedding ring. I showed him a photo of what I wanted. Three weeks later I had a beautifully hand crafted wedding ring. He’d shaped the garnet and added facets which made it more impressive. Thank you!!”

“Amazing experience, 10/10 recommend. Maca was super helpful and informative. The class was relaxing, fun and we learnt so much. Did not think we could actually end up with something so gorgeous but wow!”

“Staff are incredible, always so helpful and knowledgeable. Best hardware/DIY store to visit hands down. Keep up the excellent work!”

“Mighty ape you’ve done it again!! I ordered a year back when I discovered your business and had a pleasant experience. I don’t need to buy much but decided to order through you for some Christmas shopping. I had a delightful experience. I opted to collect my items and didn’t have to wait any longer than a minute!!! I was blown away by the efficiency. The girl whom I spoke to, I believe her name was Sadie, was very kind and we shared a laugh. All the workers roaming around were very welcoming and respectful. Amazing business you’ve got here. I will definitely purchase some more for end of year sales. Thank you mighty ape .”

“Walked into Partridge casually and was pleasantly surprised to be offered a Rolex Datejust. The sales advisor went above and beyond, ensuring my watch was delivered to the airport just in time for my flight. She also took the time to explain Partridge’s heritage and company profile, adding a personal touch to the experience. As a Rolex collector, top-tier service is something I truly appreciate, especially in an era where such experiences have become increasingly rare. This was a refreshing reminder of what luxury retail should be. Two thumbs up—three if I had them”

“Just purchased a Grand Seiko from Partridge Jewellers Newmarket and I couldn't be happier. Linda, Christian and Logan were incredibly helpful and gave me wonderful watch suggestions and honest opinions that really helped me choose the perfect watch. They were patient with me and always welcomed me to the store whenever I wanted to try some watches on. Bonus points because Christian and Logan managed to fit my watch perfectly on the first try!”

“Excellent service every time at Bunnings Mt Roskill. Clayton is incredibly helpful and professional. I often come in with photos and videos of items when I’m not quite sure what I need, and he always takes the time to look, explain the options clearly, and point me to the right product. His knowledge and patience make the whole process easy and stress-free. Truly great customer service.”

“Love the new look Warehouse, no red racks anywhere. Plenty of staff on the floor. Plenty of parking outside front entrance. No public toilets outside this complex. No Lotto available also.”

“We can get almost anything we want to secondary our house. Well stock, friendly staffs, ample parking. Highly recommended!”

“Great service, my orders are always ready within the 4 hour time frame. Staff are friendly even on their busiest days. Thank you Spotlight Henderson.”

“Who doesn't love classy Smith and Caughey! Quality and variety of goods is great and the staff are helpful, well dressed and professional. Great exhibitions, and window dressing (especially at Christmas). The cafe is worth a visit too for its old school charm.”

“Had some really great help from a guy named gregory! he really help me and mum out with our purchase of vinyl sheet and gave us really great insight in the different ones and even different ways to apply it to our store floor. Super friendly, very helpful, hardworking and went above and beyond to help us get the right thing!”

“This is my go to place for curtains, blinds or any other household item. There is good variety of items. The staff are nice, helpful and very knowledgeable. The VIP club discounts are very useful. There is ample parking space. The layout is self explanatory. Easy to find what you are looking for. Highly recommended.”

“Calvin was incredibly helpful today when I picked up my repaired weed trimmer at Mitre 10 Mega Botany. He took the time to explain how to use it properly, and even helped me load all the items I bought into my car. Really appreciate his friendly and professional service!”

“Profoundly upset & frustrated to learn that The Warehouse has been been strong-armed out of Milford Mall, despite the Group's offer of favourable financial terms & the overwhelming support of locals in the area. We are losing the ONLY outlet providing DIY, Gardening, Furniture, Crafts, Home/Kitchen Ware, Appliances, Tech, - to name a few. It's a lovely, peaceful place with delightful ambiance. The last thing we need is a gym!”

“I have changed over to my prescription meds pickup to Chemist Warehouse Silverdale recently as prices are way better and the stock is 5x larger than regular pharmacies. It is always busy there with plenty of helpful staff often stocking up shelves. Most know where stuff is.”

“Excellent selection of beads and various other trinkets, I felt like I was in some sort of crafts wonderland. There are also many crocheted/felted/knitted items for sale as gifts. Would definitely return to buy again!”

“This is to Kai, the guy that helped me a lot today. You were amazing.. I’m so sorry for all the heavy lifting but you always said it’s okay. Thank you for bearing with me and helping me from when I got into the shop until me leaving.. thanks for taking my stuff to the car as well. You never complained and you made sure I got everything I needed… You are so humble as well!!! Even tho I wanted to give you a tip, you just kept on saying thanks. Hopefully this review is good for you. Once again THANK YOU SO MUCH KAI. Keep up the good work!!!”

“I just want to acknowledge the excellent customer service received from Ford recently. Very supportive, helpful, friendly, kind & professional. I had a real dilemma & he went out of his way to help me to solve a problem i had. His customer service was exceptional. Definitely qualities of a future manager! Thank you Ford.”

“Specially made this account for the sake of thanking the kind worker who helped me locate an item that was shown available online but in store I could not for the life of me find. His Name is unique , starts with a “ G “ is all I remember. I hope this gets back to him, he helped me Thursday morning 16 October. Big smile, no hesitation. You deserve some recognition. Drove from Manukau. Awesome first impressions.”

“Kmart Manukau, located in the bustling Manukau Supa Centa on Cavendish Drive, is the largest Kmart in New Zealand, spanning nearly 5,000 square metres. One of its most appealing features is its 24/7 operation, making it a convenient destination for shoppers at any hour, particularly shift workers and night owls. The store offers an impressive variety of affordable products, from homewares and furniture to clothing, toys, and electronics, making it a popular one-stop shop for families and individuals alike. Customers frequently praise the spacious layout, which generally allows for easy navigation even during busier periods. However, due to its popularity and large catchment area, Kmart Manukau can become especially busy on weekends and during sales, with long queues at checkouts and crowded aisles becoming more common. While many shoppers have noted helpful and friendly staff members, others have reported inconsistencies in customer service, ranging from difficulty locating assistance on the floor to mixed experiences at the checkout. Additionally, there are recurring concerns about store organisation—products can sometimes be misplaced, shelves untidy, and price tags either missing or not matching register prices. Cleanliness is another area where feedback varies, with some customers finding the store neat and well-kept, while others describe cluttered or messy conditions during peak times. One practical drawback mentioned in several reviews is the lack of accessible restroom facilities within the store, which can be inconvenient, particularly during late-night visits when other nearby amenities may be closed. Overall, Kmart Manukau remains a go-to shopping destination for many Aucklanders due to its size, range, and 24/7 convenience. However, customers planning to visit on weekends or during busy periods should be prepared for crowds and allow extra time for their shopping experience. While there are areas that could benefit from improved consistency, the store’s accessibility and product variety continue to attract a loyal customer base.”

“They always have good sales on and I love seeing their clearance aisle. You can often find good deals if you look around. I bought the Refill Oral B tooth brush, and although the promo ended, they still allowed me to purchase it at sale price which I really appreciated. I have always had a good experience shopping at TW Pukekohe.”

“I love visiting this shop, even if it’s just for a browse at the new products. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the shop is warm and inviting. There is a great range of products to gift to others or to keep. Waiuku is very fortunate to have Botanica on Bowen.”

“Took part in a fabulous Wax ring carving class with Ingrid. This took place on Monday nights and was a great way to start the week. Highly recommend for anyone interested in learning a new skill or just to create a memorable ring yourself. Thanks for having me!”

“Handicrafts institute such as sewing, design and jewelry making”

“I was so impressed with Auckland Beads - an incredible variety of everything jewelry related. A real treasure trove!”
