Our wedding bands are incredible, thanks to Mark and Sarah! They were both accommodating and listened to our concerns while making sure that we know the value of what we are spending our money for. Both of our rings are top quality and the time and passion that Mark put into making his jewelleries are amazing. Will come back for sure!

Excellent service and terrific value for money! I bought an engagement ring for my (now) wife, and was able to get the exact design i wanted, custom made, at a cheaper price to other stores, with a better quality diamond. Returned for the wedding ring, and will 100% be returning in the future. Thank you, McGill's :)

Incredibly rude service. I asked for my finger to be sized and he refused as I wasn't (yet) a customer of his business. I found another jeweller who happily obliged. Fair to say I won't ever be a customer of this store, incredibly rude and condescending customer service.
