I have my canadian diamond engagment ring bought from Poeples because they have lifetime diamond warranty..
where every 6 months you bring the diamond ring to any Poeples store and they check the prongs and the diamond for you to make sure everything is ok... And if the diamond fell out the prongs, they will replace the diamond for FREE!!! and if the diamond is chipped, they will replace a brand new diamond with same or greater value...
yes.. I also think tw has better quality of stones... but for the long run, I think it`s best to get it in canada if you are living here... Do you have Ann Louise jewelry stores near where you live? they are owned by asian and the quality and style is pretty good...
Mappins and Peoples are owned by Zales which is an American company...
