Newbie Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I promised myself I would not ask for help about this publicly. I am now breaking that promise. I want to buy an engagement ring for my girlfriend and I haven't had any luck yet. I am looking for a simple diamond ring on white gold. I am not looking for anything too expensive or eccentric. A solitaire ring is fine. I prefer if it's a conflict-free diamond (but then again, a lot of what you spend in the US is also used to finance wars, so I don't think there's much difference). My problem is that most jewelries I've been to have a really small selection of simple diamond rings. I'm not looking to design anything myself or to have a ring made specifically for me/my girlfriend. I just want to go to a place with a large enough selection for me to be able to compare and take a good decision in terms of looks and pricing. I hope you guys can help me. Thanks a lot.

peekay Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Congrats! When I bought my wife's diamond, I went to Cathcart street and selected the stone (They specialize in N.W.T. diamonds here in Canada) and bought the ring at a shopping mall jeweler (he placed the diamond). My wife wasn't picky at all so I was lucky in that regard. Pay attention to the 4 C's (cut, clarity, color and carat) Beleive it or not the size (Carat) is not that important. What is really important is the way light reflects off the diamond and into your eye. (Cut determines that). Just google 4 C diamonds and look it up.

Newbie Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Thanks peekay! Do you remember the name or the address of the place where you got the diamond? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDS Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I agree - 620 Cathcart is the best place. There is about a dozen jewelers there from traditional to very high end. Good ones are Ex Aurum and Mukesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctezuma Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 If I may suggest: http://www.aubrybijoux.com/ A small artisanal bijouterie in Dorval. A1 service, crafting and desinging on place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekay Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I got it at Ex Aurum - Located at 620 Cathcart like GDS suggested also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monctezuma Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 J'ai fait l'ascension du Mont Algonquin dimanche dernier (2e plus haut sommet de l'État de N-Y) et une fois au sommet, j'ai été, par hasard, sélectionné pour être le caméraman d'une demande en mariage. Si c'était toi, le monde est vraiment petit ! Sinon : félicitations !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
