Canadian Shipping Guide
As an online diamond wholesale company based in the USA, we can offer our Canadian customers advantages not normally available to them in a Canadian “brick and mortar” shop. First of all, our prices are much (25-50%) lower than those of local retailers. Because we are an online business, you can browse our inventory from the comfort of your own home at your own convenience. In addition, we have a huge selection of mounted diamond jewelry as well as loose diamonds, in many shapes sizes and colors. Surely you will be able to find items that meet your specifications as well as your budget.
For our customer's convenience, we offer express shipping via FedEx for those customers who would like to receive their beautiful diamond jewelry as fast as possible as well as USPS that is slower but a more secure option.
