Testimonials
"My experience with To Hold & To Have could not have been better. From the moment I walked into the store I was greeted by friendly faces who immediately took it upon themselves to make me feel welcome, comfortable, confident and most of all excited! It was the kind of customer service and store I had been searching for. Having them take the time to sit down with me and discuss my ideas for my ring meant a great deal to me it meant they understood the creative process involved and I could see the passion both Shiree and Jo have for not only their business but their industry."
"After being amazingly impressed with the sketches drawn up we both decided on a design which had incorporated all my ideas but had been perfected with a few of her own. It was only a short wait for the ring to be made and I was so impressed with the final product seeing all the little details and shapes that we had discussed in store come to life was incredible! I could not have been happier with the ring. My fiancé absolutely loves it!!! I am not sure she has stopped staring at it since I proposed. I just want to say a big Thank you to Jo and TO HOLD & TO HAVE. I had the best experience with you all, from start to finish everyone was so professional and catered to all my needs. What could have been a stressful experience was nothing but an enjoyable one. I can’t wait to finish the design with a matching wedding band!!" - Sam Lowther
"Many years ago whilst holidaying on the Sunshine Coast I saw an advert in one of the local magazines for 'To Hold & To Have' Jewellers. I remember loving the piece that was in the ad so much that I searched them and followed them on Instagram. Over the years there was never a piece I didn't love! I had inherited a ring from my Nan, also many years ago, it has a lot of sentimental value but was quite old fashioned so it had just sat in my safe unworn for all these years. I saw a post on Instagram that 'To Hold & To Have' were having a sale on loose gemstones and instantly I knew it was time to transform this special ring into something I could wear everyday. From the moment I contacted them I just knew everything would work out. I would normally be anxious about sending the ring interstate to a shop that I had never even stepped foot inside, but it just felt right from the word go. With a few chats over Instagram and some beautiful pictures and choices I ended up with the most special ring that I will wear everyday, and pass down to my daughter who I hope will get to do the same! I cannot recommend these lovely ladies highly enough. Such beautiful work and a pleasure to deal with!
For those of you who are believers here is a little story that makes me think my Nan was a part of this journey too: My Nan's biggest weakness in life was chocolate ginger (a bit random, I know) and when my ring arrived Jo had popped a little bag of chocolate ginger in as part of the package! There was absolutely no way they could've known this about my Nan. I'm not an overly spiritual person but this sure made me think otherwise! Just a fabulous experience from start to finish, I can't thank the ladies enough!" - Emma Wheeler

"This is most certainly the best jewellery store on the Sunshine Coast, possibly in QLD, and possibly within Australia. I love the personalised service that I receive each and every time at this gorgeous store.. The jewellery stocked is unique, different to the generic, boring jewellery sold mostly everywhere and I always find something special and exquisite. I am regularly asked when I travel about my jewellery purchased from this store, no doubt a reflection of its quality and beauty." - Heidi Meyer
"Friendly helpful service and done quicker than I expected." - Shane Kerr
'To Hold & To Have' are wonderful to deal with. They carefully mended a very sentimental piece for me (that I had previously attempted to get fixed by another local jeweller, failed then was told "not worth the repair"). Jo understood it was of significant sentimental value. The repair she did was creative and yet maintained the integrity of the original design. It was thoughtfully considered and is now very SOLID. I am very thankful to have found 'To Hold & To Have', and I will happily trust them with all my future jewellery repair and new jewellery creations! Thank you" - Greta A. Meyer

Very proud to have them as our local Buderim Jeweller!" - Olivia Banks
