5  Vicki.P  · The outlay of the shop is very inviting to go in and spend money and I tell all my friends & family that the staff at Roselands are very helpful and kind.

I had lost a pearl from a set of earrings i purchased and genalie Kelly went above and beyond to ensure i received my replacement with ease. Really appreciate all the extra effort she put in and from her manner in the store with other customers it seems this is just her way of being. Thankyou ms Kelly ! Show details

Miss Represented The Pics on the web site look fantastic but the reality after receiver them is pretty ordinary. Everything looks bigger in the picks and the apparent quality looks great until you hold it in your hand. I would NOT recommend ordering anything from Michael Hill on Line. Go to the actual store it will save you a lot of money and a lot of disappointment. See Before and After Pics Below ! Show details

So my husband and I purchased his wedding band from the Mt druitt store and chose a tungsten ring which was $499 (on special) just for it to shatter into 3 pieces not even 3 and a half years later. So we were extremely ripped off not just for price but also quality. And gold chains don't get me started 3-4 times I had to go back to get it fixed… Read more

coz there was bits of gold poking into my skin. In the end i just gave up coz i was just wasting my time. Steer clear from this place coz you're only gonna get crap quality for a ridiculous price. Better off going elsewhere

Think twice b4 you buy any diamond from Michael hill. They emphasised the lifetime warranty, but if you miss one service. The lifetime warriors in invalid. I can not say I am perfect. I missed once. And it is gone. You paid more because of that. Go elsewhere to buy the same diamond and pay less. Same diamond and same ring but the policy is just… Read more

not right. I won’t be back to Michael hill even. They give you the best service before you pay, after you paid they do not want to know you.

Damaged jewellery – In April I purchased a diamond bangle from Michael Hill Melbourne. After approx 3 months and only worn 4 times, my bangle lost a diamond. The bangle was an oval shape and only had diamond on half of it, so the diamond would roll down not stay at the… Read more

top as it was too big for me. The shop assistant wasn't interested to see if it fitted my wrist. As I live in Sydney I took it back to the closest Michael Hill Shellharbour. The assistant who I bought items from previously was texting me on other items they had for sale. I returned my bangle to her. She took a photo and wrote a report to send to their jeweller in Narellan. Whilst it was with the jeweller. I texted her and said I would prefer a replacement. She sent pictures of the bangles they had and asked which one it was. I chose one which I thought was the same. Told her when I would be coming in and she said she may not be there but her manager would be there and he will have it. When I arrived she did show me a bracelet which was nothing like mine and pushed a piece of paper to me with a figure on it. I said do I have to pay for the replacement bangle. Oh no she said we can't do that. There was denial all around. I spoke to the manager and he said there was a misunderstanding and he would do his best to speed up the repair to my bangle. A week and a half passed and my bangle was returned DAMAGED They said that the damage was already there when I gave it to them. Impossible as I barely wore it and also where the damage was it was impossible for it to happen as it looked like it had been lightly beaten and also had a small crease as though it had been in a vice. It could not have happened by me as the diamond side was down and the gold side was up on the top of my wrist. They said it was from me banging it on a table or something. Secondly, it's winter and I always wearing a jimper. They refused to acknowledge responsibility even though I have spent a substantial amount of money with Michael Hill and I have it in writing that they would replace my bangle. DON'T PURCHASE FROM THIS BRAND NOT GOOD ETHICS OR JEWELLERY.

 Follow-up  · Unfortunately I don't wear it. No it was nit resized as it cannot be done. Dia.ond setting was inset.

Diana provided outstanding customer service. She was calm, honest, patient, and genuinely cared about resolving my problem. If I could give her 10 out of 10 for customer service, I absolutely would.

I truly trust the Michael Hill Highpoint store because of its high-quality jewelry and exceptional customer service. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for a great shopping experience.

Very disappointing experience. My Michael Hill bracelet came off twice, first at Sydney Airport, where I was incredibly lucky it was found and returned, and then again at home. Despite this, Michael Hill claimed there was no fault and refused a refund. I no longer trust the clasp and would not risk wearing the bracelet again. For jewellery at this price point, this is unacceptable. Very poor product confidence and customer service.

Terrible product and customer service** If only there was a 0 star rating, this would be more accurate rating for this terrible service and products. We purchased a $3,000 diamond ring from Michael Hill for our 25th wedding anniversary. Despite completing the required inspections, two diamonds fell out within approximately 15 months. Michael… Read more

Hill now claims the ring has been subjected to “significant wear,” even though I wore it sparingly and treated it carefully.

Their response lacked empathy, transparency and any meaningful solution. They relied on an internal jeweller’s assessment and refused to provide me with any documentation, or photos relating to their assessment. They left me feeling blamed rather than supported. I am now left with a sentimental anniversary ring that I no longer want to wear. They have now refused to repair the damage and will return it to me with no alternative solution. An extremely disappointing and distressing experience.

I will be submitting a formal complaint with Fair Trading NSW, and I urge anyone else who has had this experience to do the same. They can't keep getting away with selling such poor products, and not repair or offer alternative solutions when things go wrong.

The staff are an absolute joke. It’s like they’re robots readings from a script. If you interrupt them to try and voice how your situation is different, they say “let me finish (my script) please” and then end with a silence that loudly and emotionlessly says “go tell someone who cares”. Show details

Very disappointing experience with Michael Hill. My partner spent thousands on my engagement ring in 2021 and also purchased a care plan. At no point was he told that this particular design could only be resized to a certain point. After losing a significant amount of weight, my ring is now too large to wear safely. When I contacted Michael… Read more

Hill, I was told they cannot resize it further and was essentially advised to either try an independent jeweller or purchase a new engagement ring.

I understand that a ring cannot be modified if it risks damaging the setting, but what is disappointing is that such a significant limitation was never explained at the time of purchase. Rather than offering a meaningful solution, the response has essentially been to spend more money.When we went in store for the care plan check up we were told to see an independent jeweller and void all warranties and the care plan or wear the ring on another finger and buy a new one.

After this experience, we will be purchasing our wedding bands and any future engagement ring elsewhere. It’s incredibly disappointing to feel that customer care comes second to another sale.

Choose wisely if you shop here.

I had a very disappointing experience at Michael Hill at Warringah Mall when I went to return a watch that I had purchased online. As soon as I explained that I wanted a refund, both staff members took my watch to the back room and left me waiting for around 7 to 8 minutes with no explanation. They then came back and told me they couldn't process… Read more

the refund because their system was down.

To be honest, I found this explanation very difficult to believe. If the system had genuinely been down, I would have expected to be told immediately instead of having two staff members disappear into the back for several minutes before giving me that answer. The whole situation made me feel like I wasn't being given the real reason, which was extremely frustrating.

Whether the system was actually down or not, the lack of honesty, transparency and communication was unacceptable. I left feeling that my time had been wasted and that I wasn't treated with the respect every customer deserves.

I have always expected better customer service from Michael Hill, and unfortunately this experience has left me with a very negative impression.

I had great service at MHJ Indooroopilly, when I wanted to join my gold charms to my necklace. I wanted it done that day, so thought I'd have to do it myself.

appreciated the free offer, but didn't want to fiddle with the jump rings on the charms as I thought it would weaken them. He then suggested slipping both charms onto another slightly larger jump ring, so it would be the one attached to the necklace & he would attach it to see if it suited what I want before I committed. It was perfect and all for only the cost of the new 10kt gold jump ring - $11. I had been to another jeweller that day & it was going to cost a lot more & take 2 weeks.

I purchased a $1,400 watch from Michael Hill online. The watch arrived in a box that was significantly water damaged - to the point where the package itself must have been left outside in a torrential rainstorm - I immediately reported the issue. Michael Hill offered a replacement (but then didn't have a single watch of the same kind to replace it… Read more

with). Being a gift and on a limited timeline, I had no choice but to accept the watch as-is and purchase a new box and watch strap at my own expense. To make matters worse, MH then insultingly offered a $100 discount on a future purchase to say sorry (as if I would ever shop there ever again). Avoid at all costs, their terrible reputation is well earned and I feel like a fool for giving them a chance at all.

There is nothing wrong with the customer service at the Mackay Michael Hill store all the staff are brilliant. Purchased a diamond ring in September… Read more

2023 - cost over $5000.

One of the smaller diamonds fell out within the first year. Given that I have maintained the 6 monthly checkups it was replaced under warranty but there was a cost to repair of around $140.

December 2025 the main diamond fell out. I found the diamond and went back to the store in January with the ring and the diamond. I was honest and gave them the diamond. Had I not found the diamond, they would have had to replace it. Again, there will be a cost to repair, tba, unknown at the time of writing this review. I believe the cost should be borne by Michael Hill.

I have diamond jewelry which I wear every day, some pieces more than 20 years and none of these has ever had an issue.

I believe that the ring I purchased is inferior with the quality of the workmanship and is substandard.

 Follow-up  · It over a month since I left my ring to be repaired. I am still waiting for a quote for the repair! I visited the Mackay store to find out what is happening and they said that the repairers are extremely busy, wonder why? All I can do is to keep waiting.

 Follow-up  · Finally, after six weeks the quotation was received to repair my ring, which they discounted - $469.08 down to $300.00 (Manager Approved). The believe that the damage to the ring was caused by a significant blow to the ring and wear and tear. I… Read more

Amazing service, great communication, and lovely salespeople, couldn't be happier. When there was an issue with one of the earrings, they provided exceptional customer service and replaced it for me.
