Read below to hear what some of our clients have to say about us!
It was awesome working with Engage. Let me start by saying that I did not have any clue about diamonds. I was looking around for a custom ring for my girlfriend at the time and found Engage’s website. This website was very informative and helped me get some insight into diamonds. I was very captivated by the idea of getting a model done before the finished product. After doing some research online, I felt that Engage would suit me best. They also happened to be located close to where I live.
From the get go I had a custom design in mind and Ji helped me put my ideas together. The diamond selection process was easy and I loved looking at those diamonds under the microscope. I originally visited Ji in Jan and told him that I’d be back in Feb. I came back in June and asked him to finish the ring in less than 2 weeks. Ji was up to the task and he delivered on time. Now, my fiancée loves the ring and the custom design and shows it off to everyone. We are coming back for our wedding bands.
Thanks for everything! See you soon.

Hey Ji!
It was so exciting to bust out the box, go down on bended knee and see my fiancée's eyes light up when see saw the ring!
I was going to propose Saturday afternoon but guess what? I couldn't wait...Friday night in my condo I popped the question.
It was so nice. Bottle of champagne to celebrate, sending and receiving text messages from close friends…It was special. We were ecstatic. The place where it all started and it was the last weekend in there before we move into our new home.
Diane absolutely loves the ring. It fits perfectly! She cannot take her eyes off of it. She got soooo many compliments on it. All are asking where I got it. And of course I gave props to you and your studio.
Thanks so much for your help!! I learned a lot. It was a great experience and so exciting.
We'll drop in one day in a few months to shine it up.
Talk to you soon!

Bill S. ( July 15, 2010 )
Designing and buying a custom engagement ring over the phone and via email certainly wasn’t what I imagined doing but after speaking with Ed, I knew we were going to be in good hands in choosing Engage Diamond Studio. Ed took the time to go over all the details of our ring and explained to me what we needed to be looking for when selecting the perfect diamond. The finished product blew away my expectations and my fiancée cannot stop looking at her ring (even after 4 months). It absolutely sparkles - even in low light! We have gone back to Ed for our wedding rings and couldn’t be happier with the results. The personal attention and finished products made our experience with Ed absolutely wonderful. You will be thrilled with the results after choosing Engage Diamond Studio.

Brim L. ( June 21, 2010 )
Ji and the team at Engage have made me one happy man! After seeing several other diamond wholesalers and retailers, I came to Ji with a sense that finding not only the right diamond, but the right vendor was becoming too much of a challenge. After several appointments with Ji, I soon realized that his professionalism, patience and willingness to earn my business inspired the confidence in making the correct decision for such an important purchase. Needless to say, I am now happily married and without any bias…my wife has the most beautiful and brilliant ring!
Great job Ji and thank you for all the free coffee!
Brim L. from Toronto, ON
Ji,
The engagement ring that you and your team created is gorgeous and more importantly, my fiancée absolutely loves it! Although she’s only had it for a few days, many people (even strangers) have commented on the ring’s unmatched elegance, sparkle, design and beauty. Your professionalism and reliability were certainly appreciated and your obvious expertise in the field assured me that I was purchasing a high quality ring for a very reasonable price. Thank you for making the entire process stress-free, enlightening and enjoyable. I look forward to seeing you for our wedding bands and all our future jewellery needs.
All the best,
Carlo and Sandra C. from Brampton, ON
Phil W. ( May 24, 2010 )
After having visited several jewellers, I dropped into Engage because of its proximity to my workplace. Fortunately for me, I found the best of the best at Engage. I was provided with educational, no-pressure assistance and in my first visit learned more than at all the other jewellers I had visited combined. I was helped to select the perfect stone for the customized setting I wanted and found the prices to be excellent. Engage even worked a bit of magic so that the ring would be ready for the special weekend I had planned. The final product was breath-taking and my fiancé loves it. I would recommend Engage to anyone who is looking for a customized engagement ring.
Thanks so much!
Phil W. from Toronto, ON
I walked into Engaged Diamond Studio not knowing much about diamonds. I thought buying an engagement ring would be the most difficult decision I would have to make.
My first conversation with Ji left me very relaxed as I knew I was in good hands. Ji took the time to educate me, and ensure all my questions were answered (and trust me - there were a lot of questions!). We reviewed a number of different options until I was completely satisfied in my decision.
I can honestly say that working with Ji and Engage Diamond Studio was an extremely positive experience. Ji is extremely knowledgeable, and his level of service is second to none.
The ring came out beautifully, better than I could have ever imagined.
Thanks Ji!

Jack K. ( April 14, 2010 )
The whole experience was terrifyingly complex at first, but the folks at Engage really simplified things and broke it down to a simpleton like me. They walked (and hand held me) through the whole process, giving me ample time to reach a decision, and helped me come down with an end result that had my (now) fiancée beam with the words, “most beautiful ring ever!”
Jack K. from Toronto, ON
Hi Ji
Thank you for your expertise and time in helping us select an exquisite engagement ring. I love it and I have had nothing but compliments, jaw-dropping reactions and stares. We look forward to doing business with you again.

Ian H. ( February 11, 2010 )
Hey Ji,
I got the ring Saturday at 3:30pm and proposed three hours later. Amanda loves it. She can't stop saying how perfect it is! Really, she's used the word perfect a few hundred times so far. So, I guess we got it right. Thanks for all of your help. I'll be in touch in a bit to plan the bands... as I'm sure they too will be perfect.
Thanks,
Ian H. from Toronto, ON
The service at Engage was superb. The creation of our engagement ring was the most stress-free and easy process. Ed and Ji were very adaptive and went out of their way to generate the ring we wanted. Their extraordinary knowledge of diamond quality and the ability to easily explain how to select the right diamond made selecting a ring a great experience. Ed ensured that we picked the ring that was right for us and went above and beyond to ensure top quality of the final product.
Thanks for everything!
Corey and Lindsay E. from Toronto, ON
Ryan G. ( December 12, 2009 )
From the minute I first walked into Engage Diamond Studio, Ed and Ji were very professional, friendly and helpful without imposing any kind of pressure to buy. I believe that Ed's experience taught him that customers can be more readily gained through a consultative approach, and that's exactly my experience with Engage. As a complete novice, I was advised on the basics of diamonds, and when I mentioned I wasn't sure exactly when I was going to buy, there was absolutely no pressure whatsoever, something I truly appreciated. After several months, and a little bit of comparison shopping, I felt very comfortable purchasing a custom made engagement band from Ed, and I know that I made the right choice in the end. I highly recommend saving yourself some time and energy by meeting with Ed or Ji at Engage. I don't regret it, and neither will you.

Amy N. ( November 10, 2009 )
Ed,
My name is Amy I wanted to send you an e-mail and thank you so much for the amazing job on my engagement ring. I apologize that I did not thank you earlier, my ring is perfect! I appreciate all that you have done for Andy and I. I could not ask for anything else. I know Andy is very thankful for your time and hard work as this is such an exciting time in our lives. I have received many compliments on my ring as it is unique and fits me perfectly!

Will M. ( October 17, 2009 )
I just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you to yourself and the Engage family. After all is said and done this proved to be a really great experience for Ann and I.
We really did shop around alot and we are so glad that we came to see you. You were a cut above the rest and you really made it an easy decision for us to give you our business.
Thank you for working with me to get the ring just perfect. All of the steps along the way has left us with a great story to tell our friends and family.
Regards,
Will M. from Toronto, ON
PS.
She said yes!
We went in with a picture of an engagement ring in hand and wanted it produced within a certain budget and with time constraints. Ji exceeded our expectations. He found the shape, cut and Canadian diamond we wanted. He gave us the “Diamonds-101” course through an in-house demonstration and he welcomed all our questions. In fact, he always gave us his full attention and as a result his service was impeccable. At the end of our experience with Ji, we felt as though we were more like friends than clients because of the rapport established and the comfortable atmosphere in the studio.
We strongly recommend that if you want a quality ring made within your budget, the only place to go is Engage Diamond Studio where you’ll experience expert knowledge, warm service and tremendous value.

Phil V. ( August 4, 2009 )
I wanted to thank everyone at Engage Diamond Studio for helping us make this great day possible. The ring was absolutely perfect and she loved it! I would definitely recommend Engage Diamond Studio to anyone I speak to. I really appreciate the time that was taken to explain everything in such detail, as well as giving me so many options to choose from. I want to thank Ed for making this a great experience for me and can’t wait to go back for our wedding bands. Thanks again to everyone including Winston at Engage!

Devin O. ( June 5, 2009 )
I rarely buy anything expensive, and I’m very adamant about getting my money’s worth. I went to four different diamond dealers and heard the same sales pitch, went through the diamond course, and left not knowing who to choose. When I went to Engage Diamond Studio, they offered me a high quality diamond at a reasonable price, and told me to research myself to see which diamond would be better. Not only was the diamond of higher quality than what the other dealers were giving, but most importantly I felt confident that the people at Engage were honest, trustworthy people. An engagement diamond should last a lifetime, and it pays to get your money’s worth. Engage Diamond Studio has a great assortment of engagement rings to fit all your needs. I will definitely recommend them to all my friends, because the look on my girlfriends face when I gave her that massive sparkling diamond was worth every penny.
Devin O. from Toronto, ON
My fiancée absolutely loves the ring and cannot stop complimenting on the quality of the ring. The service and support you gave me was bar none the best I have experienced anywhere. The custom engagement ring was just beautiful. I came to you with the design and you delivered flawlessly even in the extremely short time frame I had given you to get the ring made. I will see you in the near future to have a custom wedding band made.
Thank you Ji for the awesome service and see you soon.
Zeeshan B. from Kingston, ON
Ramil M. ( January 6, 2009 )
She said "Yes"! Thanks again for all of your help. I've visited many jewelry stores and you and your company are tops! I've been getting non-stop compliments on the ring! If I know anybody that's considering on buying a engagement ring I'm definitely recommending Engage Diamond Studio!
Thanks again!
Ramil M. from Toronto, ON
Hi Ji,
I just wanted to thank you for working with us. The ring is truly breathtaking. We will certainly be telling all of our friends about the Engage Diamond Studio and how awesome it is. Thanks again! The ring is stunning. We will visit soon to discuss wedding bands!
Brittney O. from Oshawa, ON
Erica W. ( December 8, 2008 )
Hi Ji!
I am so thrilled to be emailing you to say Michael proposed just last night!!! I couldn't imagine a more beautiful ring and it was exactly, no, MORE then I could have even imagined! It was perfect down to the very last detail. The experience with you was amazing, so stress free, so informative. I would recommend your services at Engage Diamond Studio to anyone and already have started spreading the word!!
Many many many thanks again,
Erica W. from Toronto, ON
Scott W. ( November 3, 2008 )
Ji!!!
I hope all is well my friend. I just wanted to let you know that I gave my girlfriend that beautiful ring last weekend in Ottawa and well...she said no?! No, just kidding, she is absolutely blown away by how beautiful the ring is, as are many jealous friends and family. I actually caught my mom looking down at her ring with an “I wish mine looked like that” expression on her face.
I just want to thank you again for all your help in the whole process from start to finish. You were the only shop that I visited where I felt totally comfortable. You weren’t trying to push the most expensive rings on my girlfriend and I and you genuinely cared about finding the perfect ring for her that also met my price range and I thank you for that. The fact that you are also so knowledgeable on the subject, I really felt comfortable putting all my trust in you, plus you had that little pug there backing you up too.
Anyways, thanks again. She can’t take her eyes off of the ring, I guess we will be seeing you soon for wedding bands.
Scott W. from Oshawa, ON
Darren B. ( October 16, 2008 )
It was a pleasure to work with Ji and the staff at Engage Diamond Studio. I experienced honesty, integrity, patience and service that exceeded my high expectations. I will continue to do business with Engage and I recommend them without hesitation.

Sean K. ( October 7, 2008 )
Hi Ji,
Sorry that this mail comes a bit late, but I wanted you to know that my new fiancée loved the ring. I took her out to the top of a mountain on a rainy day near my hometown in northern Ontario and when we got to the promontory overlooking lake Superior, I popped the question on bended knee. Her eyes were awash in tears when she said yes and the rest is history :)
Thanks a lot for all your help and expertise in selecting the stone and setting. It's truly a brilliant piece of work.
Regards,
Sean K. from Toronto, ON
Jason T. ( August 24, 2008 )
It has been a pleasure to work with Ji. From creative conception to completion, the Engage Team really helped with all their experience and options. They took the most basic sketches, and turned them into mock-ups, which help me visualize the final product.
The most important to me, was the personal service that was offered by Engage. I wanted to ensure the diamond and setting reflected my fiance’s personality and taste – a seemingly simple task, but trust me, a tall order to fulfill when it comes down to it. =)
Ji and team helped out tremendously. I would refer Engage to any friend.
Cheers,
Jason T. from Toronto, ON
Ian R. ( August 13, 2008 )
We first heard about Engage Diamond Studio on the internet so we went into the shop for a quick look. Straight away we got an excellent feel for the place both in terms of their selection of rings on display but also their customer service. We did not know much about diamonds and purchasing rings but Ji took us through a quick tutorial which really helped us to better understand our options and eventually choose a ring we are both very happy with. I would recommend Engage Diamond Studio to anyone!!
Ian R. from Toronto, ON
I would like to thank Ji for making the process of finding an engagement ring a very smooth one. Even though I did not know a lot about diamonds, Ji took the time and patience to teach me and give me the necessary knowledge to pick out the perfect engagement ring for my fiancée.
Not surprisingly, my fiancée loved her engagement ring and we plan to go back to Engage to get our wedding bands.
I would like to thank Engage again for making my first diamond experience a pleasant one.
Vincent C. from Toronto, ON
With an eye for detail, words of wisdom, open display cases and a conscientious effort to listen to my needs, Engage Diamond Studio touched all of my senses as I walked away with the perfect engagement ring. From the moment I crossed the threshold of the studio, they catered to my budget and aesthetic desires. Not once did I feel pressure to change my vision for something they were trying to push. But, they did offer their much-appreciated advice when I hit a directional impasse. And everything they said checked out – I was never led astray.They went out of their way to ensure I knew what was happening at every step during the process - I walked away as educated about diamonds and the ring as they were! Their role as educators only heightened my trust in them and allowed me to relax and enjoy this exciting time.The result? A stress-free process at Engage that led to a beautiful, custom-made ring that my fiancée loves.
Beyond impressed. Thanks!

Frank K. ( April 10, 2008 )
I’d like to thank Ji for all his help in making the perfect engagement ring for my fiancé. His knowledge, personal attention, and hospitality at each visit made buying the ring easy and worry-free. My fiancé loved her engagement ring so we both knew that we’d be back again to buy our wedding bands. Ji and his staff are all absolutely first-rate.
Frank K. from Toronto, ON
Dave C. ( March 27, 2008 )
The team at Engage did a fantastic job with my engagement ring. Ji was very pleasant and showed great hospitality by offering me a drink on every visit I made!!
He showed lots of patience and demonstrated a great deal of expertise. When making such a big investment it helps to know you have such a great team helping you every step of the way. We will be returning to Engage when it's time to choose our wedding bands.
Thanks

Joseph P. ( September 20, 2007 )
I looked everywhere for the perfect engagement ring. Since I was on a limited budget and time, I wanted to get the most for my money. When I finished searching, Engage Diamonds surpassed every diamond studio I had visited. Their selection and prices were the most competitive. They gave me a complete education on diamonds and worked with me to match what I had envisioned as my perfect engagement ring. There was no pressure and most of all, my fiancee loved it!
Joseph P. from Toronto, ON
Jeff M. ( September 7, 2007 )
If there’s one person who can create complexity, it’s me!
From the moment I walked in, I was a little hysterical with the whole idea of getting engaged. It all started by trying to create a “one of a kind design”. Ji at Engage Diamond Studio put me at ease immediately by assuring me he would be able to create whatever I imagined. Ji took his time educating me on everything I needed to know about diamonds and he worked with me to perfect my design.
Although my idea was a little extravagant there was a budget to be met and Ji successfully made it happen.
The very relaxed environment at Engage Diamond Studio and both Ji & Ed, allowed me take deep breaths and bring it down a notch so I could think rationally. The “no rush” appointment was great. Ji took out his pencil and worked with me to draft out and understand exactly what it was that I was trying to achieve in design.
Ji made a wax model of the ring to show me a preliminary cast of what the ring would look like. Even with the wax however, it was still difficult for me to envision how the ring was going to turn out because there were many little diamonds involved with intricate settings. Ji then had the capacity to produce digital drawings (through CAD) to give me a precise virtual look of what the final creation would look like. I was satisfied and Engage Diamonds got the ok to go ahead.
Nothing prepared me for what I saw next. When they told me the ring came out beautifully...they lied! It was absolutely Spectacular!
I was in awe and the moments of silence were followed with nothing but an ear-to-ear smile on my face and a firm handshake to show Engage Diamonds exactly how I felt.
Ji’s diamond knowledge, expertise, taste and craftsmanship were accurate and consistent throughout. After my experience with Ji & Ed at Engage Diamond Studio, I referred my brother, my long time friend and a colleague from work who have all been shopping around for an engagement ring as well and it’s no surprise that they all ended up with a ring from Engage Diamond Studio.
Thank You Engage Diamond Studio.

James V. ( June 16, 2007 )
Hi Ji,
This is just a quick message to say hi and to thank you for all your help in designing and making the perfect engagement ring for my fiancee.
The ring you helped make was a huge hit... everyone loved it!! The proposal in South Africa, went really well... it took her by surprise and she said yes at least a dozen times. I can't thank you enough for all your help and patience and honesty... it meant a great deal to me. While hunting for the best ring I met some interesting characters along the way who weren't always very honest... but it was a huge blessing and answer to prayer hearing your ad on WDCX and coming into your studio. I couldn't have asked for a better person and place to help design the best ring for my fiancee.
Thanks again for everything. I'd love to come and shop for wedding bands also at Engage Diamond Studio. Thanks again for everything!
James V. from Toronto, ON
The guys at Engage Diamond Studio were great! Ji went out of his way to make me feel comfortable throughout the entire process, from beginning to end. He kept me informed and up to date with everything that was going on. Ji knew exactly what I wanted and created a beautiful ring for my fiancee. The tears of joy on her face were priceless! Thank you for everything Ji! You guys did a great job!

Gary C. ( April 16, 2007 )
Understanding the importance of buying the "perfect" engagment ring, I knew that it was an important decision and that the ring for my wife-to-be needed to be PERFECT. So I did a lot of searching going from store to store in malls, speciality stores, and even private jewelers. Going from place to place I was given all these terms I was unfamiliar with VS1,...VVS1?!?! I had no idea what the jewelers were speaking of. So I decided to do some online research. I read some great reviews about Engage Diamond Studio and decided to give them a try. I got there and felt at ease - a very laid back atmosphere where I didn't feel pressured. And I was walked through the process of finding a good diamond and the terms like VS1 became clear. Ji, my diamond consultant, was more than willing to take out the time to help me find the "perfect" ring. He customized my ring just the way i wanted and really took out the time to make sure it was "perfect". I ended up with the "perfect" ring at a "perfect" price - and moreover now have the "perfect" wife.

Dale M. ( January 19, 2007 )
I had a general idea of the type of diamond and the setting design that I wanted. With this in mind, I commenced a long and arduous journey to well over a dozen retailers. When I visited these other stores, I either did not find the diamond that I wanted, they could not design the setting that I liked, and/or I simply had a very poor connection with the salesperson that I was dealing with. I then discovered Engage Diamonds really by serendipity after deciding to look at Toronto.com one day. I called Engage Diamonds and spoke to Ed, who was by far the friendliest and most laid-back of all the retailers that I contacted - and that was the impression that I got just by telephone! After visiting the showroom, Ed and I had a very frank and productive dialogue. While in the showroom, I found the exact setting design that I was looking for!
The combination of finding my design and my discussion with Ed made me confident that Engage Diamonds would be able to design the ring that I wanted. After I received the finished ring, I was extremely pleased with the work of Engage Diamonds!! The ring looked exactly how I envisioned it would.
Ed's demeanor was extremely pleasant and his price was VERY competitive. An engagement ring is one of the most important purchases that a man will make in his life and I'm very happy that I chose Engage Diamonds to make the engagement ring for my fiancé. Needless to say, my fiancé loves the ring!!!
Dale M. from Toronto, ON
Even before my boyfriend (now my husband) asked me to marry him, I had been looking at engagement rings - hey a girl has to be prepared! I had done quite a bit of research on websites or walk-ins at jewellery stores and narrowed the search to something "antique looking". When we got serious enough to discuss marriage I continued to do my own research as I was of the view that although my boyfriend had great taste, I was the one who would be wearing it for the rest of my life.
Enter Ed..... Ed was a referral from not only a girlfriend but my sister as well. I made the initial contact with Ed and felt really good after our conversation. He suggested that my boyfriend and I come in for a consultation. Between our conversation and consultation, I bombarded Ed with emails of rings from several sites that I was researching. He was very patient and knowledgeable. At our meeting Ed was very straight forward and to the point. He knew our financial situation, made suggestions to get the best bang for our buck, cleared up any questions we had about the 4 C's and just how important each factor was.
Out of the blue, my boyfriend and I spotted a ring at a jewellery website. I was sold, it was the ring that I had been looking for, dreaming and salivating about. However, the price was out of our budget and we were a bit suspicious about the pricing and the grading of the stone. I called Ed and told him where we had seen it. Ed took time out of his busy schedule to make inquiries about the ring. Now that's dedication! And as we had suspected, the price was inflated.
Ed did his own research and assured us that he could build the ring within our budget. After that call, the business of the ring was between my boyfriend and Ed. I didn't see the finished product until he proposed.
Ladies, if you see someone walking down the street with a satisfied smile and their hand held extremely high, it's probably me. Words cannot describe my ring or how it makes me feel. From the grocery store, the shopping mall, the gym even a job interview, I get comments. Everyone is wowed by how spectacular it looks. My girlfriends continually tease me about how my husband went Hollywood on me....... Hollywood here I come!
Well done Ed!
