If you’re looking to spice up your engagement with a not-so-ordinary ring, we’ve got you covered. There are a handful of local shops right in Toronto that you can browse to purchase your dream piece. Make your special moment even more special!
Here are the best places to buy unique engagement rings in Toronto.
Forever Ring
At Forever Ring, they believe your dream ring should be attainable. That is why this private jeweller uses moissanite – a sustainable gemstone that outshines a diamond to create beautiful moissanite engagement rings using Harro Gem, Neo, or Charles and Colvard moissanite stones. Forever Ring will work with you to create a fully custom moissanite ring. They also offer a wide selection of moissanite engagement rings available online that can be customized by request.
What’s better? Their team has decades of experience crafting fine jewellery and you can actually negotiate to the price here so you can be assured that you are getting the best quality and price for this life-changing purchase. Keep in mind that you don’t have to live in Canada to work with Forever Ring. They offer remote consultations and they ship across Canada and internationally. Don’t hesitate to contact Forever Ring for a quote or to book an appointment if you are in the market for a truly unique engagement ring.
