I am run across a few skeptical ones already and want to be very careful.

I am looking to purchase a large centre stone, so it is just not the cost of having the ring made. Their prices for loose stones are approx. $15,000 - 20,000 CDN more than other well-known jewellers in Vancouver.

Not exactly a matching address though... Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]

baguettel Rough Rock Total Posts: 42 Last Post: 7/9/2004 Member Since: 5/26/2004	Thanks for your replies. I am really looking for a jeweller I can trust where I can buy a large loose diamond and have them do a very unique custom design as well. It seems from Britton's website that they don't mention custom design? Does anyone know of a good jewellery store where they have great prices on diamonds and have the ability to design a great ring as well? What can I say, I want it all - ha ha.

Veronika Rough Rock Total Posts: 34 Last Post: 7/26/2004 Member Since: 4/18/2004	Hmmm It's funny that everyone seems to think that the prices at birks are astronomical. I've had a very different experience......whilst searching for my engagement ring...I did find that everyone was cheaper but....if I wanted an ideal cut, diamond than the prices jumped to match those prices at Birks. Evan the ideal cut diamonds at Sears were the same price as the ideal cut from Birks, this included Spence as well! Once I saw the prices were the same at Sears.....I thought I might as well go with Birks! Veronika

(a PS member also) Have you tried Vancouver Jewellers in West Van? They have a wonderful website and are brokers of diamonds (they publish lists and what they have in stock on their site). The jeweller (Davison, of Davidson Designs) is, apparently, an award winner. BTW, I went shopping with my friend who was getting engaged and not only did Birks' prices send us running out the door, but the young sales person was arrogant, unknowledgable and downright rude. My friend and I were aghast. She did much better at an independant. Good luck. Cheers Sharon "People who possess great qualities, do not need to show off".
