I don't know anything about Birks but surprisingly, Costco actually has some very good quality diamonds. They have a very generous return policy as well (at least in the US, not sure about Canada). Can you buy/order the Costco one and take it into Birks to compare them?

Wow, were you expecting to pay duties? I'm looking to purchase a tennis bracelet and didn't consider anything from US since I am worried about getting smacked by duties! The exchange rate is pretty decent now and will consider if it make sense!
I finally got my first tennis bracelet! Wanted something delicate for my first one and originally was eyeing one from ring concierge but decided to go with XIV Karats (been following on IG for a while) because they had more options and better value IMO.
I’m in Canada so I had to email and order that way. Cannot rave enough about their customer service! For my fellow Canadians, shipping will depend on the amount of your order and arrived in 2 days. I paid only sales tax, no additional duty aside from UPS brokerage fee. I got several items and love everything!

I wasn’t sure because you never know. But technically if goods originate/made from US they shouldn’t be subject to duty because of NAFTA. I usually visit the US to shop in person but obviously now I can’t. but had I gone in person I would have had to pay CA sales tax then be taxed HST if I declared to customs. So when I look at it that way, was totally worth it to order online.
Costco, their diamonds are clean and bright. I tried the 3ctw in the store before I got mine and love it. If you read the reviews a lot of people commented that they have appraised twice the Costco price.
costco ca just added a 3 ctw bracelet and will take the plunge today! Happy V-Day!
So Costco also added a 6.3 ctw bracelet - and strangely, the setting reminds me of C de Cartier! Check it out!
That’s the one I got, there was $1000 off on it before xmas until Jan22. It keeps getting sold out and restocked.
So as some there pieces that I have been following.
Does anyone have a tennis bracelet from James Allen? They have 25% off tennis bracelets until March 7. Wondering if they are decent quality as the price is good. I’ve never purchased anything from James Allen before.
James Allen was acquired by Signet (who owns Jared, Kay, Zales, etc.) a while back and ever since then their quality and customer serviced have declined so I'd be hesitant to purchase from them. That said, I think they have a pretty good return policy so it might be ordering since you can always return.
no wonder! I keep seeing their advertisements on YouTube and was like “wow....when did they become so mass?”
