Edited this page as it was flagged that it sounded like an advertisement. I removed some promotional sounding words.

This company is well-known in Canada, similar to Zale Corporation or Blue Nile in the US. There is even a popular radio dj using the moniker "DJ Spence Diamonds."

Spence Diamonds is a retailing icon in Canada due to its prominent and distinctive advertising campaign and its use of designer prototypes in its showrooms.

This isnt a advertisement?

Why is it still here?

Among the phony incoming links in my personal site's HTTP log this month were this article and SD's pages on Facebook, Monster, LinkedIn and yellowpages.ca. —Tamfang (talk) 23:04, 1 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Spence has also been appearing in my blog's comment spam. —Tamfang (talk) 19:57, 20 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

I Can't do it. Spence Diamonds presents itself as a Canadian company.

It was, until last year, but has not changed its advertising to reflect that it is owned by Lion Capital, an investment co. specializing in the consumer sector. http://fortune.com/2015/04/08/exclusive-lion-capital-buying-canadas-spence-diamonds/

It catches the young unawares with their slightly goofy - but to adult ears offensive - spots featuring Sean Jones and his "I've just been goosed" trademark shriek. Currently it is peddling created diamonds which do not yet appear on their site because the trademark application has not yet been approved.

Then there's the matter of their "guarantee" and an investigation into the company by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/spence-diamonds-rewrites-guarantee-following-cbc-investigation-1.1373419

and their supposed qqualities get a going over among consumers whose experiences were varied http://forums.redflagdeals.com/any-one-have-any-comments-about-spence-diamonds-200814/ - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11903409

this is how the diamonds are made https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Synthetic_diamond 184.148.38.17 (talk) 17:28, 20 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

- - - - check the chemical vapour deposition section. in this technique, carbon vapour is laid over a substrate (foundation) which does not necessarily have to be diamond. any substrate that is compatible will do. as a matter of fact, if it were economically feasible one could coat a pan in diamond via this method and have the perfect non-stick surface.

There is another fact one should keep in mind. Spence claims that their artisan diamonds are brighter than regular ones. Of course when you look at your artisan diamond in the store you will think that it looks brighter. But that is because ALL their store displays contain CUBIC ZIRCONIA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.148.105.226 (talk) 21:26, 23 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
