Bijouterie a Montreal

From dainty rings that adorn delicate fingers to pretty necklaces and smart-looking watches, this local artisan cooperative shines a spotlight on Quebec’s hottest talent. And once you’ve picked out your new bling, browse the rest of this winsome boutique for gorgeous gifts from fashion to ceramics to gardening accessories.

This swish downtown shop stocks the kinds of baubles that are meant to raise eyebrows and sway hearts—think glistening pearls, statement cocktail rings and standout signet pieces with just enough edge to make you feel ever so sophisticate. You’ll also find the edgy, high-fashion jewelry of designers like Roland Dubuc, who kicks up origami a notch with silver sheets that look sculptural.

In a city that’s as cosmopolitan as ours, it’s important to have a place where you can splurge on the big-name sparklers and ooh-la-la necklaces that make every gal’s heart sing. And that’s exactly what you’ll find at Birks, which carries everything from sublime engagement rings to the kind of watches that cost more than some people’s cars. bijouteriehidous.com
