How much does jewelry cost in Vancouver?
Since we can’t possibly list the prices of all the jewelry pieces offered by our entries, we thought it best to provide you with a general cost guide to help you prepare a budget. The table below outlines the basic price ranges for different types of jewelry.
| Type of jewelry | Price range (low – average – high) |
| Silver wedding bands | $70 – $400 – $1,500 |
| Gold wedding bands | $80 – $500 – $6,000 |
| Platinum wedding bands | $1160 – $3000 – $10,000 |
| Silver earrings (with diamonds) | $40 – $250 – $1,400 |
| Gold earrings (with diamonds) | $100 – $400 – $24,000 |
| Luxury watches | $100 – $350 – $3,000 |
| Gold necklaces | $80 – $500 – $18,000 |
| Gold necklaces (with diamonds) | $150 – $600 – $22,000 |
When it comes to jewelry, silver is often the most affordable metal for any application. Gold jewelry is significantly more expensive due to the higher market value of gold.
The most expensive metal for jewelry by far is platinum, which can run upwards of $10,000.
Beyond the metals used in jewelry, the presence of diamonds usually sends the cost of a piece skyrocketing.
As a rule of thumb, larger diamonds are more desirable than other gems. This makes them extremely expensive so long as they are also of relatively high quality

Customer Reviews
“My now fiancée purchased my dream engagement ring from Roman. He described Roman as someone who showed no pressure, made my fiancée knowledgeable of all the options that he had, and had a quick turn around from date of purchase to having the ring ready for pickup! Two of my close friends also have engagement and wedding bands from Luxury Diamonds and we are all around extremely satisfied with the service they provide, and the quality and customization behind each individual piece! I truly cannot say enough about this establishment!” — JAMIE K.
“Shopping at Luxury Diamonds Vancouver was an amazing experience. From the relaxed and upscale environment, to the expert knowledge and professionalism from both Roman and Amanda, I couldn’t ask for more! I came in with a lot of questions and Roman was so patient. He went through an array of diamond options and took his time. There was no pressure… it just felt like having a great discussion with a diamond enthusiast. When I was torn between two settings, Roman offered to exchange the setting AFTER the proposal, if my partnered preferred. He just goes above and beyond for his customers. The ring looks amazing. If you’re shopping for diamonds or rings, look nowhere else!” — VICTOR
2. Luksus Diamonds

| CONTACT DETAILS | Phone number: (604) 569-3001 Email: info@luksusdiamonds.com |

Where most jewelry stores will have ready-made pieces with set designs and sizes, Luksus Diamonds prides itself on fully customized jewelry. Instead of crafting standard pieces, these folks actually broker loose diamonds.
For those who are unaware, loose diamonds are those that have been cut and finished but have yet to be set in a piece of jewelry. At Luksus, clients are encouraged to browse from a variety of possible cuts and sizes to find their ideal stone.
When a client is set on their diamond, they can have it ordered directly from the shop’s diamond cutter. After this, buyers can decide whether to have a third party set the stone or to make use of the shop’s custom jewelry service.
To make the customization process easier, Luksus keeps a selection of ring prototypes for clients to use as a reference. But, if a client feels so inclined they can also bring their own design or have one made from scratch.
Having substituted standard jewelry collections for fully customized jewelry, there is essentially no limit to Luksus’s offerings. Because of this, we believe this entry scores top marks in terms of inventory diversity.
This shop’s ability to cut loose diamonds according to client specifications provides a level of versatility not seen in many other stores. Overall this means clients can find a stone that is perfectly within their budget while also saving on markups and additional fees.
Overall we believe that Luksus is a great choice for those who want to find a unique stone on a tight budget. We should also mention that previous clients have found their buying experience quite easy thanks to the staff’s extensive knowledge of diamonds and jewelry in general.
Pros
- Brokers loose diamonds
- Loose stones are budget-friendly
- Every piece is custom-made
Cons
- Does not have a set jewelry collection
- Not ideal for those who want designer pieces
Customer Reviews
THIS here is your place for an engagement ring!!
“THIS here is your place for an engagement ring!! Adam is very knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. I never felt pressured and he made sure all of my questions were answered. I also was able to design a custom band for the ring and Adam had very valuable insight. He was also able to offer a significantly more competitive price for the stone than the major diamond suppliers. Without a doubt would recommend Adam over and over again.” – Serge M.
I would highly recommend Luksus Diamonds to everyone.
“If you’re looking for a place to purchase an engagement ring, look no further. Adam was incredibly professional, responsive, and informative. We had a wonderful experience working with him and never felt pressured to make a purchase. He was very transparent with the whole process and genuinely seemed to want the best for us. He was easy to reach by email and took the time to answer all of our questions and concerns. The ring came out beautifully and we cannot be more pleased with it. I would highly recommend Luksus Diamonds to everyone.” – Curtis R.

Harling’s Jewellers has been catering to the jewelry needs of Vancouverites as far back as 1964. Since that time, the shop has honed and developed tons of services from basic jewelry selling to insurance, and even customizations and redesigns.
Having worked in the industry for so long, these folks have also built up an extremely diverse selection of designer jewelry for clients to choose from. These collections include pieces from Tacori, Hearts on Fire, Benchmark, Simon G., and Tateossian.
Harling’s even offers cufflinks and tie clips alongside traditional pieces like rings, necklaces, and earrings. These offerings make Harling’s an excellent option for both men’s and women’s jewelry.
As we examined this shop, we found that they excelled most at being a jack of all trades. The wide range of in-house jewelry at Harling’s means they can cater to the needs of many of their clients.
From what we’ve observed, many previous buyers were particularly pleased with this shop’s ability to find the right piece within a set budget. Naturally, we feel this makes Harling’s well suited to those looking for a high-quality, budget-friendly jewelry seller.
We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that Harling’s also ships all around Canada and internationally. This adds a certain level of convenience for buyers who aren’t based within Vancouver.
Pros
- Offers cufflinks and tie clips
- Ships jewelry worldwide
- Wide assortment of designer jewelry
Cons
- Does not offer pearl jewelry/watches
- Does not sell loose diamonds
Customer Reviews
Received the final custom design within a week or so and it looks and fits fabulously!
“I cannot stress enough how fantastic our experience was with Peter at Harling’s! I had unfortunately lost my wedding rings (purchased elsewhere years ago) and was looking to replace at least my engagement ring. Was very straightforward to make an appointment when I was back in town, very good response of emails from the entire team. I must admit choosing an engagement ring (even a replacement one!) is harder than it looks and Peter was so patient and guided us through our options, starting broad and narrowing things down. Helped us choose a similar setting to our original with a bit of an update with a sapphire as I envisioned. Worked within our budget with no issues. Received the final custom design within a week or so and it looks and fits fabulously! Thank you so much Peter!!” – Jenn N.
Peter worked within my budget and got me the very best bang for my buck!
“I did about six months of research before purchasing an engagement ring from Harlings Jewelry. I looked at numerous stores online and other local diamond stores around Vancouver. After meeting with Peter I knew right then and there I would be purchasing a ring from him. Peter worked within my budget and got me the very best bang for my buck! Peter answered all my questions, showed me multiple diamonds, sent me many different rendering of the engagement ring, even scheduled a meeting with the actual guy making the ring. I can’t wait till Peter designs our wedding bands! I’ll be dealing with Peter for all jewelry from here on out! Thanks for everything Peter!” – Matthew A.

Cavalier is a small store based in Vancouver’s iconic Gastown. From the get-go, this shop distinguishes itself from the crowd by dealing with tons of different gemstones from diamonds and rubies to sapphires and emeralds.
They take things a step further by offering full in-house jewelry customizations as well as gem cutting and setting. Though we’re no experts in gems, Cavalier’s gallery is filled with unique pieces that we can’t help but admire.
Based on the reviews we’ve seen, we aren’t the only ones who have been captivated by this shop’s jewelry. In particular, many previous clients have offered tons of positive feedback regarding this shop’s custom engagement rings and wedding bands.
Whether you’re searching for custom rings or ready-to-wear bands Cavalier has a wide selection to choose from with about a hundred in-house pieces. The one downside is that they do not offer designer rings since they exclusively sell their own jewelry.
Along with this, another issue some clients may have with Cavalier is the fact that they don’t offer anything other than engagement rings or wedding bands. So, if you intend to look for necklaces, earrings, or any other type of jewelry, it may be best to visit a different store.
However, if you’re searching for a shop that produces fully-customized rings with different stones, Cavalier is certainly worth considering. Just be sure to book an appointment first, as these folks have a strict no walk-in policy.
Pros
- Great for engagement rings and wedding bands
- Large inventory of different gemstones
- Customizes and redesigns rings
Cons
- Does not allow walk-in consultations
- Only works with platinum and gold
- Only sells rings/bands
Customer Reviews
We are certainly going to be repeat customers!
“Just blown away by Cavalier. We live in Toronto and my husband and I decided to purchase with them because of their quality, customer care, and the passion that come out of this team. Mitch, you were such a pleasure to work with in designing our wedding bands. You made the process so seamless for us considering we didn’t live in Vancouver + our timelines. Highly highly recommend Cavalier! We are certainly going to be repeat customers! Thank you for being part of our special milestone!” – Rocelle V.
When it came to the proposal, I knew I had nothing to worry about because I had the perfect piece for her
“The Cavalier Team and Dane are exceptional craftsmen who have tremendous knowledge and made the entire experience seamless. Dane in particular went above and beyond to customize a ring that not only matched my vision but enhanced it. When it came to the proposal, I knew I had nothing to worry about because I had the perfect piece for her. I am so appreciate to the Cavalier Team for creating this unique family heirloom.” – Irfan N.

| CONTACT DETAILS | Phone number: (604) 684-6343 Email: info@llprivatejewellers.com |

Out of all our entries, LL Private Jewelers boasts the longest list of services. Alongside standard offerings like selling, designing, restoring, and customizing jewelry, this shop also dabbles in appraisals, jewelry polishing, and rhodium plating.
Having a wide array of services allows this establishment to cater to an extremely wide client base. The one drawback to working with these folks is that, like some of our other entries, they do not carry designer jewelry collections.
So you may be wondering, “what’s with the preference for custom jewelry?”. Well, in their own words, the craftsmen at LL Private Jewellers believe that custom jewelry is an elite status symbol similar to that of a bespoke tailored suit.
With this in mind, we think this belief reflects a passion for unique, one-of-a-kind pieces as opposed to a disdain for designer collections. As proof of this, the shop’s jewelers are more than happy to redesign or alter antique items and designer pieces.
Since LL Private Jewelers shares many characteristics with our other entries, we strove to identify a particularly unique quality. In doing this we found that these folks were the only jewelers on our list that offered a healthy selection of pearl jewelry.
As insignificant as this seems, high-quality pearls are quite rare since they only grow in select parts of the world. This means that clients would be hard-pressed to find this particular gemstone at other jewelry stores in Vancouver.
Taking all of the above into account, this establishment is a great choice for those with a penchant for unique and exotic jewelry. Along with this, LL Private Jewelers can also help breathe modern life into old or worn-down pieces.
Pros
- Offers rhodium plating
- Sells pearl jewelry
- Extremely wide array of services
Cons
- Showroom is closed on weekends
- Only sells custom-made jewelry
Customer Reviews
Monika was absolutely brilliant.
“Monika was absolutely brilliant. She was attentive and responsive, and helped walk me through a way to place some diamonds from my mother’s ring into the wedding band. It is so tasteful and she has always offered any assistance after the fact. I had reached out to a few jewelers and did not receive the level of service of Monika. 12/10 if I could put that.” – Erik H.
Monika listened carefully to my ideas and made suggestions.
“This is my second time working with Monika. The first was to repair a very old platinum diamond ring, and this was done perfectly and quickly. This time I wanted a new setting for an existing ring. Monika listened carefully to my ideas and made suggestions. The wax was made, and I had my “new” ring in under two weeks. I love it. It’s perfect and exactly what I had pictured. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Monika to anyone who is looking to design a new piece of jewellery or redesign an existing piece.” – Sal S.
6. Palladio Jewellers

| WEBSITE | http://www.palladiojewellers.com/ |
| ADDRESS | 900 W Hastings St, Vancouver, BC V6C 1E5, Canada |
| CONTACT DETAILS | Phone number: (604) 685-3885 Toll-free number: Fax: (604) 685-3851 Email: sales@palladiojewellers.com |
| OPERATING HOURS | Monday: 10 am – 5:30 pm Tuesday: 10 am – 5:30 pm Wednesday: 10 am – 5:30 pm Thursday: 10 am – 5:30 pm Friday: 10 am – 5:30 pm Saturday: 10 am – 5:30 pm Sunday: 11 am – 5 pm |
Though jewelry stores cater to all kinds of clients, we believe Palladio is a particularly helpful option for men in need of jewelry. For starters, these jewelers carry different collections that are sorted based on occasions like holidays, engagements, anniversaries, and the like.
Naturally, this can be a godsend if you’re having a tough time finding the right piece for your loved one. Another factor that makes Palladio a great jewelry store for men is the fact that they are a fully licensed Rolex retailer.
Whether you’re looking for a recreational timepiece or something more decorative, the shop carries many different Rolex models. These range from the iconic Submariner to the sleek and elegant Daytona.
If you’re particularly fond of luxury watches we’d certainly recommend booking a visit to Palladio’s showroom. This is because along with dozens of Rolexes, these folks also carry several other luxury timepiece brands.
These brands include Backes & Strauss, Carl F. Bucherer, Parmigiani Fleurier, Raymond Weil, and many others. For women’s jewelry Palladio also carries a sizable collection of bracelets, earrings, necklaces, pendants, and of course rings.
By combining a strong variety of both men’s and women’s jewelry, we feel this shop has distinguished itself as a top choice for those gifting jewelry. From the reviews we’ve seen, many clients also feel the same way, having also found their own ideal gifts in the store’s showroom.
Pros
- Showroom open 7 days a week
- Licensed Rolex retailer
- Great for finding gifts on special days
Cons
- Showroom has a tight appointment window
- Limited selection of gold jewelry
Customer Reviews
The Rolex was everything I had hoped!
“Recently I visited Palladio Jewellers looking to purchase my favourite Rolex; a black dial, green sapphire crystal Milgauss. I was being helped by Jwon, who told me that he would let me know if it ever came in stock. No more than two weeks went by when I received the call from Jwon that it had arrived in stock and I could swing by to check it out. The Rolex was everything I had hoped! Big thanks to the staff at Palladio, and especially to Jwon, whom I would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful timepiece and exceptional service!” – Eiki F.
This jewelry store is an excellent source for gifts to wives.
“This jewelry store is an excellent source for gifts to wives. I recently bought a custom made pendant and matching earrings there and my wife was over the moon. I worked with Jason, who had excellent input on which stone to use as well as the perfect chain and mounting. I am not an expert at buying jewelry but Jason’s knowledge really put me at ease with the purchase. 10 out of 10 for Palladio’s.” – Robert B.

Customer Reviews
Here are some reviews from their previous buyers:
“I have wanted to buy, or get, a ring made for years. I finally decided to make the move and after some research, came across Diamond Deals through, of all places, google reviews. We met Sandy downtown and immediately felt comfortable with her. No high pressure sales, no BS, just helping you try and find what is the right fit for you. Never tries to up sell, and just listens to what you have to say about who you are and what you are looking for, and then finds that special piece that will put a big smile on your face. Can’t say enough about how great she has been to deal with – easy, honest, and wants to see a happy customer. What else can you ask for? Wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend Sandy at Diamond Deals to help you find that special something you are looking for.”
“My husband and I recently got our wedding rings (engagement ring and wedding bands) from Diamond Deals Diamonds. Our experience was amazing from start to finish. We were able to go to either location (work downtown and live in Surrey) which made it easy to drop off and pick up items. When we met Major for the engagement ring, we talked about our personalities and what matter to us, with this Major was able to help us decide on a design that was perfect! He also took the time to educate us on what to look for when shopping for a diamond. Later when we went to buy our wedding bands, the team made sure to meet my one requirement of having the engagement ring and wedding band flush. Thank you – looking forward to shopping for our anniversary gifts!”

Customer Reviews
Here are reviews we found on their Facebook page:
“A diamond fell out of a ring that I love. I happened upon this fantastic, newly opened jewellery store on Granville Island. They replaced the diamond and tightened all the claws at a very reasonable price. The owners and staff are very friendly with great customer service. Check it out if you need a repair or something new. And it’s always a bonus to shop local.”
“My daughters and I recently inherited an assortment of family jewellery and Adele worked with us to determine values and then reworked several pieces into new designs. Her advice and creativity were invaluable and the work was impeccable. It was a time consuming process and we appreciated her patience and sensitivity. We highly recommend Adele and her studio!”

Customer Reviews
Here are some reviews from their clients:
“Amazing customer service, Julio is true talent for jewelry making and is the friendliest and most accommodating. He made my wedding ring, some pendants for my wife and I and is working on another ring for me, and I doubt it will be the last thing I get from him. Have and would recommend him to anyone looking for quality custom gold jewellery. 10/10” – Robert Lambert
“Julio’s craftsmanship is exceptional. He is creative, thorough and his jewelry is stunning. Each one of a kind piece brilliantly reflects his labor of love.” – Nicky McConnell
“I took Julio some antique earrings from my grandmother and we agreed on a ring design for him to make from the rubies and diamonds. When I went to collect them, he said that the earrings were so vintage that he decided not to take them apart (the cut of the jewels was rough and different shapes). He still made me a ring like I asked within my budget with new diamonds and rubies! So now I basically have matching earrings and a ring. I absolutely love my ring. It’s beautiful and unique. He is very easy to deal with and responds promptly. I really feel like you can’t go wrong working with him!” – Sophia HD

Here are some reviews from their clients:
“The only place I’ll go to buy jewelry. The staff are knowledgeable, talented, helpful and appear to really love what they do … helping people to find the perfect gift for a loved one or themselves. My husband designed and had my engagement ring and wedding band made by them and, 10 years later, I just took it back for a refresh (rhodium plating update, fusion and a good clean). They were SO fast (said 10 days, got it back in 4) and it is stunning again, and at an exceptional price. This is not ‘just a pawn shop’. They are so much more than that. I will never, ever go to (or allow a loved one to buy from) a ‘mall jeweler’ again. Royal City all the way.” – Terra Paredes
“I got my rings resize, when I picked them up, they fitted perfectly. It had the equipments to measure the thickness of the rings which I didn’t know the thickness of the rings affected the size. The staffs know what I was talking when I complained about the Jeweler I went to located at Metrotown, did not resized my rings correctly. He/she blamed on me instead of fixing the problem. I would recommend Royal City Jewellers to get your rings resized, the price is very reasonable.” – Mary Wong
“Absolutely the best pawn shop in New west minister fantastic service friendly staff I highly recommend this pawn shop I went in there to get an estimate on a promise ring set to see what it be worth I got a fair friendly estimate I wasn’t disappointed at all I highly recommend these people this is the best pawn shop I’ll ever go to keep up the great work” – Oliver Maciejczyk

Customer Reviews
“Grimson & Sons is one of those places you’d recommend time and time again to friends and family. I’ve had them make me jewellery on multiple occasions and I’ve even taken my mom in to have a piece made when she was in town. The team at Grimson & Sons are fantastic but the star of the show is David, the owner and operator, he is kind, attentive, patient, funny and above all talented. There are many wonderful jewellers and custom jewellers in Vancouver, but Grimson & Sons feels like home if that makes sense. You won’t be disappointed, the quality of the work and care you’ll receive is in a league of its own.” – Thom L.
“It goes without saying that having a piece of jewelry made is a personal process. You agonize about the fit, the shape and if the world will truly understand the intention behind it. David has an innate ability to help you navigate all of these concerns, not because he wants to get the sale, but because he wants you to leave his shop with a piece of art that represents you. There is an intimate experience that you are gifted when you walk into Grimson & Sons, one that is second to none. It is for this reason that I would give them 10 stars if I could, or at least a big giant gold one.” – Shaun A.
