Cavalier goes above and beyond. I spoke with both Mitch and Joshua to have everything dialed in from the engagement ring to the wedding bands. I highly recommend this place for your wedding and jewelry needs. They're helpful as they guided us through the process of styles, sizes, and price points. Friendly staff who made us feel comfortable and welcomed. 10/10 read more

Cavalier has the absolute best customer service. My (then) fiancé had an awesome experience building my engagement ring, which I couldn't love more. I held so much love for this ring in fact, that I struggled to find a wedding band that I felt complimented it, but didn't overpower it. Perisha worked with me over MANY appointments. She guided me to ensure a custom design was going to be durable and stand the test of time (unlike most of the photos on Pinterest). After not one, but two rounds of revisions, I have a ring I am in love with. Perisha, and Cavalier did everything to make me happy even though the revisions were based on my own decisions. They made me feel so assured throughout the process, telling me my happiness was the most important thing. I can't recommend them enough and would never look anywhere else for my anniversary bands and fine rings to come :) read more

From initial handshake consultation, to design thoughts, to the execution of the design Cavalier was nothing but flawless, and it was truly appreciated. Apparently, we could not have designed a better ring had she done it herself, and I owe a lot of that credit to the Cavalier team. True pros, yet comfortable at the same time. Thanks, thanks, and again thanks. Cheers, -Joe read more

Cavalier Gastown - Nailed It!!!!! - Jewelry Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Couldn't have asked for a better experience in buying an engagement ring. Taylor was very helpful from the outset in the phone consultation through in person picking out the exact diamond and setting that I ultimately went with. As someone completely out of their element walking into a jewelry shop, this was a great place to go. I picked Cavalier based on a friends experience and really glad that I did the same. If you're looking for an engagement ring to wedding bands and probably more, this is definitely a recommended place to go. We'll be coming back to design our wedding bands, since she said YES!! Thanks again for all your help. Sean read more

This was such an amazing experience! After my partner proposed, we made an appointment here and designed a ring together. Don't be dissuaded by having to make an appointment, they can often fit you in on the same day. They let you choose your setting, metal, and stone and completely customize it according to what you want. It does help to bring pictures. Because what you have seen in pictures may not ended up looking the way you want it to on your hand, they let you try on lots of different shapes and sizes to really get a feel for what the end result will be like. I would highly recommend this process over choosing it online. I would have chosen something really different if I had picked online, and I wouldn't have loved it as much. The coolest part, for me, was getting to pick out my own sapphire. They had a large variety of sapphires, and patiently explained to me the differences in colour, quality, size, and so on. The service was warm and courteous. They make you feel really special. Every time we come in for something else, like picking my partner's band, they offer to clean my ring, and it ends up looking like new. Pro tip: they will rent you a ring for a proposal whether or not you decide to come here to design the real thing. read more

After seeing one of my best friends (who is a geologist and knows her rocks!) select her gorgeous emerald engagement ring, I knew this was the place for me. As a girl who knew she didn't want a diamond as her center stone (although they have lots of those a well!) I was shocked to discover all the gorgeous colors gemstones come in. My favorite being the green sapphires - which are both myself and my fiancé's birthstone! We had our appointment during COVID when the shop had just reopened for in person appointments. We had the shop to ourselves! Taylor was SO easy going and made us feel so special and taken care of. Her knowledge and how she helped us select a stone made me feel confident and excited about the process. She also made working within our budget AND getting the stone we wanted possible... talk about a load off our shoulders! This is THE place for gemstones and diamonds and they come from a long line of jewelers and sources - so you know they take great care in selecting the best quality stones to present in their shop. I would recommend Cavalier to anyone!! read more

Brought in a small diamond ring that I received as a gift in school and had it melted down to make a high school graduation present for my little cousin. I chose something elegant and small, and they did such an incredible job with this bezel diamond ring. I had such a great experience here, and would highly recommend people to stop by. read more

Cavalier Gastown - Bezel diamond ring for my 16 year old cousin came out perfect. I wanted a small, every day ring for her, and she absolutely loves it! - Jewelry Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

We are SO happy with my engagement ring from Cavalier. Taylor helped my fiancé design the most perfect ring for me and I had no idea. They managed to pull it off so that I could be completely surprised and I'm so thankful! The ring could not be more beautiful, my jaw literally dropped when I saw it. Not only that, they sent me professional photos of my ring a month later and i'm just swooning over them! Amazing! It doesn't get better than this. Don't hesitate to order yours from Cavalier they are the best! read more

Cavalier Gastown - Jewelry Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

My fiancé and I chose a somewhat unconventional route and designed my engagement ring together. Going into the experience I thought I knew what I wanted, but as we went through the process I found myself uncertain and flip-flopping between design concepts. Taylor and the Cavalier team patiently and supportively made suggestions and recommendations to help me narrow down my design and ensure the final product was something that I would love for lifetime. I can't thank Taylor enough for her patience and flexibility and I'm so thrilled to say that the final product is EVEN BETTER than I could have ever imagined. Thank you so much Cavalier! read more

Had an unreal experience here with Dane. We came in to take a look at a few rings and everyone there was incredibly friendly and took so much care in helping us find the perfect ring for my wife. I highly recommend anyone to check this place out if you're looking for the perfect jewellery for any occasion! read more

Several years ago, the team at Cavalier helped me design my ideal ring. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. This year, they helped bring my mother's 1956 engagement back to life for my daughter. So happy with the old and the new! read more

I found the sale associate to be very rude. He was very cold, didn't make my experience in the shop feel personal and basically disappeared and left me on my own once he realized they couldn't customize what I wanted. I drove quite a ways to check out this shop based on reviews and I left feeling very disappointed. read more

I was left my sisters amazing wedding rings (that she adored) when she passed away. The set was spectacular, however I found I seldom wore as the diamonds were set very high. I waited a long time to move forward on having the rings remade into a setting more suited to my lifestyle while still somehow keeping my sister in mind. Cavalier did an amazing job of doing just that. Working with Dane was easy, he knows his stuff and I think it helped that he knew my sister as well. He knew this was a tough decision for me. He listened to what I had in mind, he made a few suggestions and we went from there. Each trip to Cavalier during the process was fun and you just get a positive feeling when you walk through their doors. The final day, the day I am getting my new ring I finally got an understanding of how nerve wracking it was from Cavaliers perspective .... what if the client is not happy? I could see the relief and happiness on Danes face when I opened that special ring box because it was obviously evident from my face that I LOVED the ring Cavalier had created. It is exactly what I envisioned, and I am now wearing daily, which would have made my sister very happy. I knew it was perfect when my mom said "Cavalier (Dane) did a beautiful job Kathy, the ring is now very you but when I look at the setting I still see Mona!" Thank you to Dane aka Cavalier for making this a great experience. read more

Cavalier is a great place to start your "ring search", or get educated about what you want - the atmosphere is relaxed, I would not suggest starting at any other jeweler. Wasn't planning on buying a ring that day, it was the first day of looking at rings, but they made it comfortable enough for me to go ahead. The no interest, NO PRESSURE payment program they offer is unbelievable, it took me over a year to pay off the ring before I could pick it up and there was not one bit of pressure to put more money down or pay faster. Taylor Nicholson was fantastic to work with! Would suggest starting your search for the perfect ring here. read more

Best service I encountered while ring shopping. The staff was knowledgeable, easy to contact if I had questions and had did a magnificent job with the engagement ring. Couldn't be happier. Would definitely recommend Cavalier Gastown. read more

My wife and I got our wedding bands and engagement rings from here over 4 years ago and our experience was top notch. Very hands on and positive, happy staff. Due to that awesome experience we decided to come back again for a "push present" for my wife. Taylor assisted us in funding that perfect selection for us. Recommended 100%! read more

As an engineer and very involved (aka difficult) consumer, I found it a daunting task shopping for my first diamond. I was faced with many purchase options including the large name brands, Canadian Internet retailers, American Internet retailers, small American jewelers and other small local jewelers. After a hard day diamond gazing, I realized that there are no truly objective metrics one can count on when sourcing a diamond. I came home that night, went to straight to bed frazzled and quietly asked Siri "how not to get screwed when buying a diamond". Unfortunately unknown to me at the time, my girlfriend was in the room and the secret was out. Anyway, the answer to that question is to go meet Dane, owner of Cavalier Gastown. Dane's laid back attitude and willingness share his knowledge and opinion while exploring my own ideas was very comforting. Where I benefited most was from his complete lack of sales pressure and his patience while I learned about the product. It was soon obvious that Dane sincerely wanted only the best result for me and my fiancé. Together we were able to arrive at a design for an engagement ring that worked beautifully. Without bias he showed me diamonds of various qualities and patiently let me inspect them under magnification then come to my own conclusions. Although relatively young, Dane is from age where commitments are honored with a handshake. When so many dollars are at stake, that level of integrity was very assuring to me. I saved about 40% by not purchasing off the shelf from a major well known retailer. I got a better product that was customized perfectly for my girl and I received the satisfaction of supporting a local business in my own neighborhood. Cavalier is a local Gastown jeweler however Dane's has family roots deep in the Canadian diamond industry. I've been recommending his services ever since and will be back myself for wedding bands in the near future. read more

We went here first looking for engagement rings based on positive previous reviews. I was so excited for this moment! It's a huge investment financially and emotionally, and we've followed Cavalier on Instagram for some time. We were greeted at the door nicely enough by a guy after being let in. However we started speaking to a woman with long curly hair and she was really rude. Smiling seemed difficult and the answers to our questions were short and terse. It wasn't a pleasant experience with her and for such a huge amount of money that we'd be spending, I was shocked at her mannerisms and poor manners. We went back for an appointment to give the store one last chance- we had Bill this time. He was nice enough and very knowledgeable. He stayed over our allotted appointment time and was patient with our questions. I walked away wishing we had his service as our first impression! read more

For someone who has no idea about engagement rings, Cavalier was an absolute pleasure to deal with. The store is the complete opposite of the stereotypical jewellery store. Laid back and not intimidating whatsoever. Taylor from Cavalier assisted me with designing the ring for my fiancee. She is a dream to work with. Understanding, not pushy and explained everything to me simply. Prior to meeting with Taylor I had sent her photos of what ring I had in mind and on our first meeting we had the ring design finalized within a half hour. No stress, no fuss, just great service. The finished product was absolutely breath taking. My fiancee could not be happier with the ring. It is beautifully crafted. Exceeded expectations. Cavalier is a fantastic local business, with outstanding service and craftsmanship. Cavalier is a must fro any one looking for a ring (or jewellery). Highly Highly recommend. read more

Simply the best. I don't leave much to chance and try to learn as much as I can about everything that I buy, and in this case help to build! Dane was and remains an absolute gem in this business where you can feel like you're being railroaded without a lot of knowledge about what you're getting and why it costs what it costs. We worked together over multiple sittings and were in regular email contact regarding the design, and production of the ring. First thing was first. Who is the lady that this is for?! What does she like? What is her lifestyle? Activity level? High setting or Low? What are her and your personal interests and style? and on and on and on. Dane went above and beyond to help me find and customize the exact stone and setting that I wanted and helped me to learn as much as I wanted to know about the types of stones, the elements of that stone etc etc. Also! Major note. After looking at literally dozens of rings in many shops, Cavalier has exactly zero trick lighting or fake set ups that cheat the look of their rings as opposed to the second they leave the shop. Honesty and integrity are paramount and serve to highlight the exceptional quality that Cavalier produces. If you're buying a ring, and you want exactly what you want done right, go see Dane, Keith, and get something made by Trevor. They're as good as it gets. read more

My experience at Cavalier Gastown couldn't have been better. It's hard to know where to begin. So I had to break my review into categories. Atmosphere: It is a laid back atmosphere which I appreciated. Before buying my soon to be wife her engagement ring I had never stepped foot in a jewellery store so the whole experience was new to me. A lot of places seemed stuffy, or like they would only spend some time with you once they were sure you would buy something. It was the exact opposite here. I came by, was greeted and told I would be helped as soon as they were done with a previous customer. A few minutes later, I sat down with Dane and we figured out exactly what they could do for me. The entire first visit was friendly and relaxing and felt like I had been there many times before. So if you're at all nervous about shopping around as I was, you'll feel perfectly fine here. It's a nice break from what you expect a jewellery store to be. Service There's a lot I can say about the service too. I worked with both Dane and Keith, but the service was the same and when I told one person something the other was always up to speed if I dealt with them on the next visit. I was able to have a custom ring made off pictures I found online. The ring I had made was a combination of the setting ( pear shape sapphire and halo ) that my fiancé liked and a twisted band from another ring that I wanted to add to give it that personal touch. It was great to be able to find what I wanted and have them draw it up, verses picking from what they had available. They can build any ring you may find and made a 3D model for me to see and hold before they made the final product, so you're not just going off pictures. They have many different gemstones available to purchase. When they didn't have the cut I was looking for, Dane brought a couple in. They have a great selection and helped me make a good decision when purchasing something I had little experience in. They are respectful of your budget too. I gave them a range that had a $3000 window. The first gemstone Dane brought it was only a couple hundred dollars above the bottom end of my budget, although I ended up going with one that cost a bit more. Also when it came to selecting gold (18k or 16k) Keith advised me that I wouldn't need the more expensive 18k (which also had more shine to it ) because the band had diamonds in it, so you wouldn't notice a difference between 16 and 18. So if you're worried about being up sold on things you don't have to worry. They are practical and honest with what you will need. Both Dane and Keith answered all my questions and made be feel confident in what I was purchasing. Product As far as the actual ring is concerned, my fiancé, myself, and everyone else loves it. And as mentioned before, it is the exact style I wanted to get and it looks great. Overall if you're looking for a a jeweller I would recommend Cavalier. read more

If you're looking for jewellery, you should go here. After shopping around at countless other places, I was sold on Cavalier five minutes after I walked in the door. Cavalier is just a different kind of jeweller. It isn't stuffy or overbearing. The atmosphere is laid back, which takes a lot of the pressure off when you're shopping for a big purchase. The pieces themselves are beautiful, and there's a good range from hyper-contemporary to classic. They've got more casual jewellery as well as serious pieces for those big moments of life (ie engagement rings/anniversary bands). I was extremely happy with a substantial jewelry purchase at Cavalier. Dane & co. went over the top to make sure my lady and I were satisfied with the purchase. I have serious respect for a business owner who will bend over backwards for customer service, and that's what I got at Cavalier. This is now my go-to jeweller. read more

Taylor and the team at Cavalier were so great to work with - I did everything remotely, and was a bit nervous at first about buying a ring and a stone without seeing it in person, but everything turned out so perfectly. Thanks again! read more

Cavalier Gastown is the absolute best! They've set the standard of how ring shopping should be done. As a Calgary local, and starting my engagement purchase process in a pandemic. I wasn't able to go to the store to look and try different rings. Cavalier made every point of showing me photos of different styles, sending videos of them in the light, and right down to providing 3D renders of my ring design. They made me feel like I was a part of the team making the ring, verse just a customer. The produced ring was safely insured and overnight shipped. When I finally opened the box, and uncovered the ring it solidified the whole process. The final product was even more stunning and unique than expected. Highly recommend Cavalier to anyone. read more

We had an absolutely incredible experience at Cavalier! The staff goes above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable and memorable. They were so friendly and helpful, and legitimately excited for any occasion that brings you into their store. They educate you on the process so you can truly understand what you're getting. Taylor was so amazing throughout the entire process. She was kind, thoughtful, patient and did everything she could to make it a truly unique and special experience. You simply can't go wrong with Cavalier for high quality custom jewellery. read more

We brought my heirloom ring here to have it re-designed into something a little more modern. I had my heart set on a David Yurman design and Dane assured me they could make it happen! The end result is better than I could have imagined! It looks EXACTLY like the original (maybe better), and the craftsmanship is exquisite. Could not recommend these guys more for custom jewellery. read more

Cavalier Gastown - Jewelry Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Hey Men! Having trouble getting an engagement ring? :). I know the stress of it all. I proposed to my fiancé in July and it was awesome! However, getting the perfect ring for the day was just as stressful as planning the moment. I thought it would be simple at first. Go to the store, buy a ring and call it a day. However, after going to 30+ ring stores, I started realizing how picky my fiancés taste is. I knew what she loved (because she left all the hints), however it felt impossible to find it. Ultimately, I ended up at Cavalier and they helped me through the whole process. They made it so simple and with them I was able to build the perfect ring. My fiancé loves it and does not want to change a thing. As well, it was definitely a fair price! Highly recommend building a custom ring here for your special day. Coming back for wedding bands! read more

Our experience at Cavalier was excellent! I knew exactly what I wanted and they did a great job of turning my dream into a reality! My engagement ring is perfect and we look forward to designing a matching wedding band with them next year. read more

We had an amazing experience working with Cavalier to dream up my engagement and our wedding rings. Everyone at Cavalier was welcoming and knowledgeable - the skill of their craftsmanship and quality of our rings were impeccable.

We would highly recommend anyone to get their custom unique pieces here! read more

My engagement ring is beautiful. I'd been following Cavalier for some time and their work is even more stunning in person than it is in the pictures. A big thank you to Taylor and the whole Cavalier team for helping my fiancé with all the details. It couldn't be more perfect. read more

I came by here to check it out and measure my ring size since i dont know it. The gentleman was very nice the store was clean. They make custom jewlery which is awsome! read more

I came in here to get some watch repair consultation. When my dad passed my mom gave me some of his old watches, however, they needed repairing in one way or another. I was actually recommended this place by another Yelper at the last Elite event whom suggested this place. They weren't able to repair the watch per se, however, made some additional recommendations. I liked their styles which is more artsy and less pretentious which is what I appreciate. Very laid back and welcoming compared to other watch stores that I've been to. read more

I found Cavalier first on Instagram... And loved all their fresh and unique designs so I decided to venture in one day to ask about having a custom ring designed (I've been putting this off for years because I hadn't found the perfect jeweller... Until now!!). And ohmygosh I couldn't be happier with my new ring!! Amazing customer service and the perfect amount of personal-touch (and a huge thanks to Dane for taking the time to get to know my style). I would highly recommend that anyone looking for a custom piece stop in to see their showroom. They have an incredible selection of stones as well, plus I think my boyfiend now has his eye on one of exquisite men's watches in the display case... ;) Can't wait to come shopping here again! read more

I reached out to Dane earlier this year to help me find the perfect ring for my wedding proposal. Even though Dane was heading out for a trip shortly after our initial appointment, his communication was great and the team at Cavalier was able to deliver a gorgeous ring that my fiancé is proud to wear for the rest of her life. The process of buying an engagement ring is very personal and that's something that the team of Cavalier understands. They care tremendously about their craft, but more importantly, about their customers. For anybody looking for an engagement ring or any other jewelry, make sure to pay a visit Cavalier. read more

Can't say enough great about this place. Engagement ring shopping can be a stressful experience but Dane and the team there made it a much easier process. They aren't pushy like other ring stores and are patient when it comes to figuring out the customization you want. Their craftsmanship on the final product was great and my fiancé couldn't have been happier. We liked it so much that we went back for our wedding bands as well. Thanks Cavalier! read more

Looking for outstanding personalized service, the highest quality products and unique designs?...then don't look anywhere else, Cavalier Gastown is the place to go. The moment you walk through the door you feel welcome and the moment you leave with your purchase be it from an in-store product or a custom design you will be 100% delighted. I have had several custom made pieces done by Cavalier and my wife and I couldn't be happier. Dane and the team at Cavalier are absolutely the best! read more

After hearing about the excellent service at Cavalier I've been there for my past few purchases and each time the service has been beyond what I expected, hence why I keep going back. The team at Cavalier is very personable, friendly and passionate. They have continuously addressed any concerns I have had in the past, been easy to get a hold of 7 days a week and are quick to help out. You can definitely tell that they take pride in their product and will do their part until you are satisfied. A great place to shop for engagements, weddings, custom designs, or other special life occasions. Lastly, if you don't know much about diamonds or if you have designs in mind feel free to pick their brains as they have a wealth of knowledge that they are more than willing to share. I was more than happy with my designs that they brought to life. A big thank you to the team at Cavalier. My wife and I love our rings! read more

Amazing service, and not your typical shop. They aren't pushy, and will help get you exactly what you want. I had my wife's wedding ring and band made custom here, and what should have been a stressful experience was actually pretty fun. The owners are a laugh and walked me through every step, while keeping to the budget I needed. I'll for sure be back. read more

I can't say enough positive things about Cavalier. My (now) husband went to Cavalier to custom design my engagement ring. He simply provided a few of the features I had showed interest in and Cavalier took the elements and designed the most perfect ring. Throughout the process they worked closely with my husband to ensure he liked the product at every step of the process. They took into consideration all of things we both valued and were able to accommodate every single element. Furthermore, I returned to design my wedding band and we worked together to come up with a gorgeous match to my engagement ring - a design I hadn't seen anywhere else. We also took my husband's heirloom band to Cavalier to be filled and refurbished and the result was astounding. Arguably even more important than the product was the level of service we received working with Taylor. She connected with us at every step and it was clear that she was invested in our needs and our experience and was committed to ensuring we were happy with the final product. Her attentive service and friendly demeanor really pushed our experience over the top. At this point, I would struggle to return to a standard jewelry retailer as the standard has been set so high! I can't recommend Cavalier enough! read more

We couldn't have asked for a better experience creating an engagement ring. They were so professional and helpful and it turned out gorgeous! I'd recommend them to everyone. read more
