When it comes to jewellers, South Australia is blessed with some quite incredible craftsman. If you ever asked us to choose the best, we’d crouch in the corner weeping gently because it was all so shiny and beautiful. We’re only human… don’t judge.
But those in the know at the Annual Bridal Industry Awards have just finished anointing the best jewellers in South Australia and DDS Diamonds has taken out double honors, being inducted into the Hall of Fame for the highest achievements over the last 5 years, as well as winning ‘Best Ring Manufacturer in South Australia for 2016’.
The ring we gave away last month. Next months give away on Facebook soon. #ddsmonthlygiveaway
