Places to buy rings?

[Seanith]

I need some ideas for some good places to buy rings for a girl.. nothing too extravagent, something like $100-250. Let me know what you guys think.

[04blackMAX]

try any jewelery shop in the mall

[szw]

chinatown jewlery shops, nicer/cheaper than stuff you get at the malls.

Bring someone along to barter if you're not good at it

[DUBBED]

i bought my girlfriend(now ex) a ring at peoples in chinook...

i spent 250 on a extremely nice ring... for the price at least

Do go for something cheesy at a jewelry store, if you spend like that it will look cheap. Go to silversmiths or a place like that and get something funky.

Tiffany & Co.

I am not sure about their prices on SS rings...but you can always find out! Their necklaces are very nice and simple...and they start at $130! You can get her an Elsa Peretti necklace with her initial.

This is the letter "G"

BUt I've seen promise rings at People's running at $100. But nothing makes a girl smile more than seeing that Blue Tiffany box! hehe :)

I only shop at appelts becuase I get nice discounts courtesy of my sis...but they only have stores in mordon, brandon and steinbach, MB


other wise I like peoples

Peoples.

Bought enough stuff there, they have awesome selection, and better prices than just about every other mainstream jewelry store.

Oh, and Ben Moss if you can't find anything you like in Peoples, they would be my second choice.

Plus with peoples, if you keep the original package and reciept....you can trade in your ring towards another, and they credit you the full original purchase price!!!! This I just found out, and it will come in damn handy soon:D

Yep. They just have the best selection of standard stuff too, like heart pendants, rings, etc. With all the tiny jewelry stores around have such shit that's so specific you could only give it to a certain particular person who has that kind of taste. Peoples (and Ben Moss to an extent), just always has the right stuff I'm looking for :thumbsup:

As for Tiffanys, yeah we don't have one here in Calgary, there's only 1 in Toronto I believe. That and Tiffany is overrated if you ask me, expensive and you pay for the name, not the jewelry. Personally I don't give a shit if the box is blue or not.

ive got a diamond right princess cut...u can have it for 500

[BMWilli]

I've got some in the back of my car......no seriously i do.

There is a Tiffany counter at Holt, the lady that works there is very nice! I have a couple pieces from Tiffany and I love them, they have unque style and their prices on some of their stuff is reasonable.

Ah, my bad then. I agree their stuff is unique, but still, overpriced. Afterall, gold is gold, regardless who fabricated it. Besides, Peoples has unique stuff as well, as do many places.

Actually, www.ice.com is a good place to shop as well, I've bought from them before too :thumbsup:

err u can try the Central Landmark Mall inside there is a store called meomory box, they have some selection and i know u can get his and her's collection for like $80 it's sweet, i mean u don't have to be BLING and buy her white gold ...

i honestly think it's the thought that counts

I agree, it is the thought that counts :) But you also don't want to get ripped off at a place, regardless. With $100, you can buy a 10k gold necklace/pendant, it just won't be a "Tiffany" one ;)

[C4S]

How about that jewlery store in main floor of New Asian Mall ? lots of good new style stuffs ..and .. he he .. good deal ! :thumbsup:

I'm not here advocating, "Tiffany or bust!" yeesh...i think there is equally nice stuff offered by other stores, I just prefer Tiffany's designs.
