I am not sure if this is the correct area to ask, but I live in Ontario (Canada) and the tax we pay here is atrocious......13%.
I am searching for a pair of bright, vivid blue sapphires to replace the 2 side diamonds I have in my 3 stone ring. My centre stone is the diamond from my original engagement ring (1.85ct). I thought diamonds (roughly 1 ct. ea) on either side would be pretty, and while it is nice, I realize what I truly crave is a 3 stone ring with blue sapphires as side stones.
My husband and I are taking a long weekend getaway to Chicago in October......it is only a 45 minute flight from where we live.
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding stores, in the windy city, that might have what I am looking for? It would be nice to get in touch with them online, before we go, so that they might be able to have something to show me.
I realize there are lots of dealers online, but ordering stones from the US and having them shipped to Canada is SO costly and, if they are not what I am looking for, returning them is also a hassle.
Any suggestions would be most welcome...........I would also welcome suggestions about Canadian dealers as well (I live in London, which is about 1/2 way between Toronto and Detroit)
I have learned SO much about SO many things since joining PS - my husband wishes that I had NOT become so knowledgeable
