Engagement rings, by private appointment.

Vancouver sells engagement rings in two registers. The mall register: bright counters, commissioned staff, prices built to be discounted. And the quiet register, which is ours: an appointment, a small shortlist of stones that already survived a trained reading, each with its independent report. The second register is calmer and, more often than not, better value, because nothing in the room is paying for the counter.

How an appointment works

You tell us the moment, the hand, and the budget. We search our own inventory and the trade for the few stones genuinely worth your consideration, natural or lab-grown or both, and read them before you ever see them. You see the stones on video, in daylight, beside their reports, and take your time. When one is right, the setting is made for it, 3 to 4 weeks, fully insured to your door.

Before you shop anywhere
