wee_me Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Hi I am looking for best place nearby to fly to to buy a diamond ring? The jewellery prices in perth, like everything else, is through the roof! Any suggestions for nearby countries that sell nice (ethical) bling? I've no plans to go back to the uk so it's not an option! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedolly Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I dont know sorry but to tell you the truth I dont like a lot of the jewellery here - some of it is sooo blingy looks like something off QVC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portlaunay Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Why not have something made? Some friends of ours have just had their wedding bands made by a company in Melbourne and they're lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee_me Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Hi thanks for the replies. It's not that I don't like the jewellery per se it's the price I don't like! I am after a good sized/quality diamond but the prices are too high- to the extent that I'd be cheaper flying to the uk and buying a ring!!!!

Plimthing Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Jewellery quarter, Birmingham. Best in world. Flight leaves in 3.5 hours, be there tomorrow lunchtime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee_me Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I used to live in Solihull so know it well but I find Glasgow cheaper than anywhere else I've been so will need to wait until I visit UK- and I've no plans for that!

Plimthing Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 My wife's father has worked there all his life. I couldn't get away with cheap ring from argos! Ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j19jjr Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 What sort of prices are we talking about? I have a 1.5 carat, colour D, with SI1 clarity. In Hatton Garden, London this would cost probs about £9000 now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
