Best place for Engagement Ring?

[eblend]

Need to get an engagement ring in the next couple of weeks. Anyone recommend a good place in Calgary? Personal experiences welcome

[Jlude]

I've got a friend who works for spence...

pm me if you want his contact info... I ended up not getting anything from spence, and he went through one of his contacts and got me something custom made for a lot less

Alberta Diamond Exchange on 17th Ave
Call ASAP as they only take appts and are pretty busy


A+++++++

Got an amazing ring that would have cost double at any of the crappy chain stores (Peoples etc etc)

if you trust the internet bluenile.ca is good, but I wanted to see everything in person

As annoying as the guy on the radio is, Spence is where I bought my wife's engagement ring.

They took the time to educate me on the basics of what to look for, then I went to countless other places. I ended up coming back to Spence because of their service, and their warranty. As well, they will buy back their own rings at full price years down the road if you want to upgrade.

Basically, if you can find a ring you like at Spence, go with them. It is expensive for them to do custom work.

I had a great experience there and am very happy. I plan on going back there in a few years to upgrade the ring I bought when I was a poor student.

Good Luck!

Go Check out Cullinan Jewellery... http://cullinan.ca/

He's making me some custom bands right now and great prices too. Very friendly and great to deal with...plus he's a gemologist (GIA certificated)so he knows his Diamonds

Stratton's in Banff. I chose a band that the wife loved and he brought in a loose diamond that fit the exact specs I was after. Very reasonable pricing, plus you benefit from seeing the diamond before purchasing.

Same, though I went before the annoying Spenth guy was on the radio, that would've given me second thoughts on going there.

Good customer service, I don't think I overlypayed (a little, but not much), and I know I have a genuine Canadian dug diamond, no blood on my wife's finger, thank you (and before anyone starts in, yes I know ALL diamond companies are connected to that area in one way or another).

Troy shoppe jewlers. they are exclucive to "hearts on fire" diamonds, the most perfectly cut diamonsd in the world

Hunter Davidson
http://www.hunterdavidson.com/ is where I had my custom rings done 15 years ago. They are awesome. I have Sapphires instead of diamonds.

I highly recommend 500 wedding rings book, it has lots of very unique styles and is a new book. I know they have it at Chapters that is where I bought mine...yes I realize I am not getting married again, but love rings.

Bluenile.ca is great. Picked one out, picked the stone, and the matching wedding band.....8 days later it is at my front door.

That place in marketmall right across from that crystal store near the food court. Used them a few times, and my dad got my mom a nice right from there too. Just a small place. Called Dabji or something weird.

AH haha thats it!

Unless you like paying 3x the price for a ring, shop online. Bluenile.ca has some decent deals, or you can go to whiteflash.com or bluenile.com for even better prices.

Goto Jewels By Ilyas downtown

Awesome prices, awesome diamonds, will easily save u 50%

his number is 2647211, tell him saleem sent u to get the best price

[Unknown303]

I'd recommend Troy Shoppe Jewellers only because I just bought an engagement ring from there with a hearts on fire diamond.

I must say that they are brilliant, damn amazing diamond and they sparkle more than you could possibly imagine.

Can't remember the lady that I dealt with there but her last name was Huckabee. Which is really easy to remember.
