I have to totally have to dissagree on the comments about the diamonds. My ring sparkles every where I am, thats one of the most common things that people say to me. As well, I wanted my wedding band to match my mothers wedding band, so we went to another jeweler and had it made, and he told me that my diamonds were very nice and told my FH that he had done a good job. So, I'm not sure if this is all hear-say or what. I'm totally satisifed with my ring.

| My diamond stud earrings, e-ring and w-band are all from Peoples. FH and I have had nothing but outstanding service! I would not hesitate to recommend them... at least the local ones here (NS)!

The diamonds of my ring came from FMIL's ring she bought at Peoples in 1979. They're still fantastic.
All my wedding jewellery came from here - earrings, necklace and bracelet. We spent about $1000 on stuff there, and have never been disappointed.

My engagement ring is also from Peoples.....from someone who comes in and does custom jewellery.....and i have to say....my ring is fantastic..i got it done in 19k and and it gorgeous....actually much the same like PP'er....quite often people comment on how freakishly sparkley my ring is.......and i took it elsewhere to a totally different jeweller to get it appraised and it was appraised for much more than we paid and even he said what a nice stone it was....and i didnt even buy it from there!!hahaha....so ive had a great experience...i also just got my wedding band from the same custom guy at peoples......again...my friends that i have shown it to comment on how unbelieveably sparkly it is.....

| I suggest that you check out www.pricescope.com before making any ring purchase. After doing my research (and this is just my experience) I found People's and Mappins to be ridculously overpriced for very poor quality diamonds. You can also try www.whiteflash.com www.bluenile.ca or www.goodoldgold.com All three are very highly respected companies and Whiteflash can custom make your setting. Wherever you choose I hope you get the diamond ring that you want!

| After much delay with getting my ring dealt with we are now reaching an agreement with our jeweller at people's. The manufacturer will not set it in 19k white gold so he is going to see his custom deigner...they will pay part of the cost...we don't have a quote yet!! Also they are going to take one of my diamonds out of my ring and replace it as there is deffinately something wrong with it...looking dark..very dark....after months of being told it was fine...I went in there on the weekend with FH and we said enough is enough...get it sorted!! so they are. I done a lot of research and I wish I had done it before i got my Ering.....Palladium is the next best thing to platinum!! Doesn't need plating like white gold needs constantly(if you are more sensitive to it...which I must be) not mixed with nickel, doesn't need rhodium plating...why should we be plating our white gold rings with rhodium is what I want to know!! hypoallergenic...great for people with sensitive skin.... only a few stores right now that deal with palladium...you have to search on google to find them...I believe they have a few in Toronto and there is one in markham...they find that when the metal is cooling it goes quote...'swish cheese like' with bubbles appearing...thats what makes it hard to work with and they need special equipment to work with! I am going to get my band done in Palladium....they say it is a little grey...but that has to be better than wearing my ring only on weekends and having it plated every couple of months!! here are some website for you to look at: www.britton.com www.ringsinternational.com www.jewellrybusiness.com

I just wanted to add a comment about Peoples having poor quality diamond..now...as i posted before my ring didnt come from a peoples display case so i cant REALLY comment....because i had a custom guy under the peoples name do it because we wanted 19k but.....to all those who said they had poor quality...and i mean this honestly....dont you get what you pay for? so like....if you are only expecting to pay 2 grand..then ya...you arent going to get a perfect quality diamond...im sure peoples has excellent quality diamonds...you just have to be willing to pay for them.....i dont really think its fair to say they are poor quality because....you get what you pay for...now.....MAYBE yes they charge more so...if you went elsewhere you could pay less and get a higher quality then...i get that....but...my fh paid a good chunk of change for my solitaire and it definitely reflects so.....and i have the appraisal and stone quality to verify that is practically flawless......but obviously if my solitaire was 1000 bucks...i wouldnt expect the same quality...does that make sense??

| My cousin's fiance got her e-ring there and had nothing but problems. when she took it in for sizing, the first time it came back it was the wrong ring altogether. i think it ended up taking about 6 weeks to get the correct ring back. Eventually she asked for her money back and went elsewhere. My ring is from charm diamond centers and i had problems when i took it in to get sized. First off it took over two weeks to get sized and when i finally did get it back there were ridges left on the ring from the vice grips. They wern't very apologetic and told me if would be another 2 weeks to get it back! I was mad so i emailed the head office, needl | | | |
