I’ve been browsing jewelry stores around Vancouver lately, but the prices are all over the place. I don’t mind paying for quality, but I hate the feeling of being overcharged just because it’s a “fancy” shop. A few times I almost bought something, but it didn’t feel worth it. How do you guys find good quality jewelry in Vancouver, Canada without spending too much? Any tips from your own experience?

I’ve been in the same situation — it’s tricky to know what’s actually worth the price. What helped me was focusing on smaller, independent stores rather than big-name chains. I found a jeweller through tg jewelry who was transparent about materials and pricing, and they even customized a bracelet for less than what others charged for standard designs. Sometimes asking questions about the process helps you spot who’s genuine and who just wants a quick sale.
