    No worries Linda, just look for the LAST store you looked at on your List!

    Linda and Susan, last night I said I would share some lists of Jewellery Stores.
    Tiffany and Co,  Leah Alexandra, StittgenFine
    Van Cleefand, Arpels Cavalier Gastown
    People’s Jewellery, Birks Jewellery, Ardene’s and Arlene’s Jewels I

    The above list is just a dent of the stores we have.😁

    So if you are FAST we can fill up our page with many more. Perhaps we can have a day of shopping in the above stores when you are visiting downtown Vancouver. I will have to drive in as Vancouver is out of town for me, about 1 hour or so away!

    FAST

    Stores we have are Kay Jewelers, Shane and Company, Riddles's Jewelery, Zales, BC Jewelery, Mesa Jewelers, Thoman Hunn Jewelers, Zack of Diamonds Jewelry Company, A Dab of Gray, Lar's Custom Jewelry, Jarrods, Banter Icing, etc.

    It is hard to know which shop is the "best". I will go with the ones that other people have suggested that have been good. A store that has a good reputation for excellent beautuful jewelery, friendly salespeople and good prices is for me.

    BEST

    We have a lot of jewellery stores to visit! Yes, I like stores with the best quality and prices, so let's Pare the list down and make sure we go to the recommended ones. When I looked up best affordable Australian jewellery brand, Google gave me Reliquia. I have never heard of the brand, but let's go find something with that name on it while we're in Australia, lest we become overwhelmed by too many choices.

    Google told me "Signet Jewelers, whose brands include Kay and Zales, was one of the market leaders among retailers of jewelry in the United States, with worldwide retail sales of over 7.8 billion U.S. dollars in 2022. Tiffany & Co., with its iconic New York flagship store, is arguably the biggest name in the world of jewelry." We as a family have all shopped at Kay and Zales but Tiffany and Company is much too expensive for us. I will not put them on my "list" of jewelery stores to visit.

    Another thing that controls what jewlery I buy is how much money I have to spend. I do not have a "fist" full of money to spend these days.

    Me neither, Linda! I agree, we need to be careful with our spending unless we know a way to make money fast in our imaginary world!

    All things are possible in this imaginary world. We have seen this work in the "past". Let's put on our thinking caps and make some money! 🤑🤩

    I so agree Susan and Linda, my thinking cap says, also keeping in mind imaginary money, our imagination could run away from us, this is so much fun, when I think of Past stores I have shopped in that did not cost me an arm and leg 😆 I will go with People’s Jewellery in Coquitlam Centre as all the other places I LOVE but are too expensive for my pocket book! People’s comes in the middle but has exquisite jewellery!

    So let’s talk about it and make final decision when we meet up! We can TAPE out list on board and come up with final vote and see if People’s is our Winner!

    TAPE

    I'll be guided by you girls about the choice of jewellery stores in your country. Maybe we should find a rainbow and look for pots of gold at the end of it, unless someone knows a leprechaun who can give us money out if their already bulging store of gold coins? Out of the goodness and generosity of his heart, of course. We would want to just TAKE his gold.

    TAKE

    Peoples sounds like my kind of store - middle but exquisite jewelery. Actually all the stores sound lovely. It will be hard for me to "take" part in the vote because I might vote for all of them. 😁

    TAKE

    I'm with you, Linda. Though if People's is a nice store, maybe we will all find something we like at our first stop. Wouldn't that take the cake!

    Indeed, hopefully we can find some beautiful jewellery we all like and within our budget; however when shopping in a jewellery store I might splurge and later when home wonder why I didn’t have some self control! Hehe… we shall see how it goes. I also forgot to tell you they also have awesome clothing stores at Coquitlam Centre, and I saw the most beautiful CAPE.. O dear, I’m in trouble now!

    Jewelery and clothing that are beautiful and within our budget? I am having a problem being able to "cope" with all the excitement this has caused in my brain!

    Oh yes, what a great combination for a shopping trip! I am all in! I hope we all find something we love.

    All this "hype" is getting me excited. I'm glad I have immaginary money to spend on these elegant things.

    Yes, imaginary money, imaginary shops, we're good! I normally don't get so hyped up about shopping. It's nice to know we won't really be going anywhere! Lol! I feel like prey when I read the advertising of some stores!

    PREY

    I see Susan and Linda, so glad we have imaginary money to spend and we don’t have the hype or the prey of the advertisements that stores normally give us as it is such a Grey area when it comes to shopping and what to choose! But I am enjoying this epic shopping we are on, a wonderful adventure we are on, no GRAY area for us with our imaginary shopping! 😊

    I hate to keep all this excitement just for ourselves. Do you have any friends who would like to join us? I can see it now - our number "grew" into a large number of people who got fabulous bargins.

    I can invite family and friends, Linda. Will your jet hold a crowd? The group will surely grow!

    Yes Linda, I can invite Family and Friends, and yes Susan, we will really grow.. we will have ROWS of Loved Ones joining us, we may have to hire a Cruise Ship to sail our way to Australia. Now that will be an adventure!

    ROWS
  • Healthyme7410
    Healthyme7410 Posts: 10,980 Member
    I think a cruise ship would be a good idea - my jet will only carry 100 people. There are pretty "bows" on the end of each row like on the pews at a wedding. A cruise ship would allow people to walk around and visit better than a jet.

    BOWS

    316Judith Posts: 9,383 Member
    I like this idea Linda, pretty Bows on each end of the Rows. Yes, the Cruise Ship will accommodate all our Family and Friends who want to join us! I can hardly wait. What fun we will have and the Pictures we will have for our Scrapbooks and Photo Albums! 😊 we will have to take a SWAB of all the colours and decide what color Bows we want on our Cruise Ship!

    SWAB

    We can always swap out a few colours so our rows with bows will look more festive.

    With all of us working on the decorations, it will be a "snap" to get it done quickly.

    I agree, we're such a team, Linda! I'll get some pins so we can put our decorations up.

    Thank you Linda and Susan, we are a great team, all we need now is some PENS to write down what each of us is bringing and what colours we would like for each of our decorations. We can swap colours and we have Pins to pin of decorations up and now we will have Pens to write everything down.

    I have some decorative "pans" we can use to put our pens and pins in so we do not loose them. I would hate to step on one that was dropped!

    That’s great Linda to have the decorative pans to put our pins and pens in. I agree it’s a good idea to put them in a pan rather than risking you or someone else stepping on them hurting our feet. Thank you for your thoughtfulness! With our travels we will cover quite a Span so we don’t want to drop any along the way!
