Moissanite engagement rings in Toronto.

Does anyone know where I can get a well-cut, high-quality moissanite ring in Toronto, preferably in a platinum setting? There seem to be tons of sites that I can order one from but I'd prefer to see this article in person before I present it to the intended wearer.

Best answer: There's a beautiful jewellery shop on Roncesvalles, just south of Galley. it's called 'Arcane: Metal and Stone'. I have no idea whether they have moissonite, but they have some beautiful work in the store.

Failing that, there are several jewellers in the Distillery that do stunning work.

Best answer: Use Charles and Colvard's store locator to find retailers in your area. Pick 'Ontario' - it finds 20 or so jewelers in the Toronto area.

Best answer: I believe that all moissanite comes from the same place (C&C). They don't sell uncut stones; in fact, it's somewhat difficult to buy loose stones, if you want something specific (I looked a few months ago). So all of the stones are going to be well-cut and high-quality; "practically perfect in every way." Congratulations, btw, and good choice; I love moissanite and prefer it to diamond. It's just sparklier!
