Hi CP,

I've been researching/shopping for engagement rings around Calgary for the past few months. I've also recently heard about Internet shopping at sites like bluenile.ca.

I noticed bluenile has much lower prices for similar quality diamond/ring combos from stores here in Calgary. However, with such a big investment (budget 6-10g), I'm skeptical about buying online without ever seeing the diamond and ring in person. Read some mixed reviews on bluenile diamond quality certificates around the web as well.

I'd like to ask what are your experiences with the diamond shops in Calgary (Birks, People's, Spence, etc) as well as bluenile? Any and all advice would be appreciated.

Thanks CP
