Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

On a recent trip to S. Africa I had an AquamarineRing designed and made by Alon Shina. It is a most amazing ring. The whole process went very smoothly in a timely fashion. He is a man to be trusted for his knowledge and his intergity and his artistry. Regards Donna G. Frisco TX

Alon's design's are so beautiful, so well made and worth every penny! I have bought some incredible pieces from him and his fantastic creative team. His workshop is a joy to look around and he is more than willing to re-design and recreate pieces from your old jewellery or design new pieces exactly as you want - which is what I have done on a various occasions. I cannot recommend his work highly enough!

I recently needed to buy a gift for a landmark birthday for a family member. I was pleasantly surprised with the jewelry at Alon Shina. Really unique pieces and they were very reasonably priced. (when it comes to jewelry, it's not often that you can use those two concepts in one sentence) I ended up chosing a moonstone pendant which was exquisite! I am hoping to hint long and hard with hubby for the ruby pendant for me!
