Get Your Bling on with the Best Jewellery Stores in Montreal

We all love a little sparkle in our lives. And in Montreal, the jewellery scene is anything but dull. So if we’re ready to ditch the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary, let’s dive in together.  

We’re about to uncover the best jewellery stores this city has to offer, from hidden gems tucked away on side streets to glittering flagship stores on bustling avenues. 

Just a warning though: exploring Montreal’s jewellery scene may cause sudden urges to re-evaluate your budget. But hey, a little retail therapy never hurt anyone, right? (Just don’t tell our bank account we said that.)

How much does jewellery cost in Montreal?
The cost of jewellery in Montreal varies widely on the type, material, and design you want. Simple pieces might start at $150, while more intricate gemstone pieces will start at $600. High-end designer or custom-made jewellery costs $1,000 or more.

How We Chose

Variety of collections – We looked for a wide range of jewellery collections, from engagement rings to everyday pieces, to cater to different tastes and budgets.
Online & in-store shopping – With flexibility in mind, we prioritised stores that offer both a seamless online shopping experience and a welcoming in-store environment.
Price range – We included stores with a variety of price points to make sure that there are options for every budget.
Customer reviews – We scoured reviews and talked to customers to ensure each store has a solid reputation for quality and customer satisfaction.

Operating hours:

  • Monday to Friday – 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Website

Maidor, a name that blends “maison” and “d’or,” has been a go-to for custom fine jewellery since 1984. 

What we really like about them is how they make every piece personal. They use only 18k gold and natural VS FG diamonds to ensure quality that truly shines. Their Montreal atelier is where the magic happens, crafting everything in-house. 

Whether you’re after a one-of-a-kind engagement ring or a custom necklace that captures your style, their attention to detail shows. 

We were also impressed by their range – from $100 to $10,000. Plus, the fact that they offer convenient online services, including free shipping across Canada, makes it even easier to shop. 

Some of the customers we talked to, though, mentioned having some difficulties with replacements. However, Maidor’s dedication to creating jewellery that feels like a personal milestone is still widely appreciated.

Pros

  • Years of experience
  • High-quality materials
  • Custom-made pieces
  • Wide price range
  • Convenient online shopping

Cons

  • Replacement issues

We’re so grateful and truly appreciate the work ethic and experience we received in your store.”

Ex Aurum Jewelers has been around since 1989, and it’s easy to see why they’ve stuck around for so long. Founded by goldsmiths Gino Priolo and Helmut Burger, these guys know what they’re doing when it comes to custom jewellery. 

Whether you’re designing an engagement ring or a unique piece that tells your story, they’re with you every step of the way. They make sure it’s exactly how you imagined.

Now, we’ve got to admit that prices here start at $333.50 and can go up to $17,000, so it’s definitely an investment. But the quality of the pieces is well worth the price.

Not to mention the quality of their jewelry is really amazing! Highly suggest and recommend them.”

Jivan Collection is where you go when you want something special – whether it’s a bespoke engagement ring or a timeless piece of jewellery that’s truly yours. 

Their jewellery ranges from $120 to $700, which gives you a nice variety to work with. 

They also offer customisation—just keep in mind it might be a bit pricier and can take a bit longer to get. Their founder Jivan Yeramian personally works with clients throughout the design process, ensuring each piece reflects their style and sentiment.

What we like most is how easy they make it to book appointments, whether virtually or in person. The chat feature on their site also makes getting quick answers a breeze. 

We also appreciate the 10% discount they offer to those who signed up to their mailing list and the free domestic shipping on orders over C$350.

Quickly finds the perfect diamond based on customer preferences

After the first meeting with him, he quickly got to work to find the perfect diamond and within 2 days he had found the stone. He took into consideration everything I had told him and would update me along the way. Great experience and I would definitely recommend to friends and family! Thanks again.”

Anton Magnan, Google Review

Encourages customers to ask any questions

“Our experience with Jivan has been truly amazing from start to finish. Smooth sailing from the engagement to wedding day. We first met to discuss type of stones and possible designs and we found him to be quite knowledgeable. We were always put at ease with no pressure to purchase whatsoever, while always being encouraged to ask any questions we had. We believe that Jivan has a gift when it comes to designing rings that respect the client’s vision. We definitely recommend him to all of our friends, especially those looking for a 1×1 experience and catered customer service. Thanks again for everything!”

4. Joailliers Pax Jewellers

joailliers-pax-jewellers

Location: 1201 René-Lévesque Blvd W, Montreal, Quebec H3B 2L7, Canada

Contact: +1 514-878-9123

Operating hours:

  • Tuesday – 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
  • Wednesday – 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Website

Joailliers Pax has been around since 1974, and there’s a reason they’ve stayed a go-to for high-end jewellery. Whether you’re after custom designs or eyeing their exclusive collections, they’ve got you covered. 

We were drawn to their range of luxury brands like Fope, Chimento, and classic watches from Baume & Mercier and Movado.

What we really liked during our visit was the service. Dominic, one of their staff, gets high praise from customers for his friendly and approachable vibe. He makes the shopping experience smooth and personal.

Pax strikes a nice balance with pricing too. You can find top-tier luxury pieces, but there are also more affordable options that don’t skimp on quality. 

While their website offers a solid overview, we think it’d be even better if they offered online shopping and an online contact form to make reaching out easier.

Pros

  • High-end brands
  • Custom designs
  • Great customer service
  • Flexible pricing
  • Long-standing reputation

Cons

  • No online shopping and contact options

Delivers orders earlier than expected

“Extremely professional and honest jeweller. The owner is kind, patient and knowledgeable and really cares about his clients. We ordered a Baume and Mercier watch and it came in earlier than expected. When we picked it up, he took him time explained to my son how to change the date, how the movement works and how to wind it. I highly recommend this jeweller.”

Elana Fogel, Google Review

Designs custom pieces according to customer desires

“I can confidently recommend Pax Jewellers to everyone, I know that no matter who walks through their door the service will be impeccable and most important the products are outstanding! Just gorgeous pieces especially their handcrafted in house designed pieces! The quality and attention to detail is excellent and whatever you want they can create. I love all my pieces from them especially my engagement ring designed by Dominic. They also have a great watch collection for all the men out there, my husband and father both wear their watch proud. You wont be disappointed!”

5. Bijoux Marsan

bijoux-marsan

Location: 379 Saint-Catherine St W, Montreal, Quebec H3B 1A4, Canada

Contact: +1 514-987-6007

Operating hours:

  • Monday to Thursday – 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM
  • Friday – 10:30 AM to 7:00 PM
  • Saturday – 10:30 AM to 5:30 PM

Website

Bijoux Marsan has been a go-to in Montreal for over 40 years, and after checking them out, we can see why. Nestled on Saint Catherine Street, they offer everything from elegant diamond rings to men’s pendants and chains.

Their engagement rings are a big draw – whether you’re into solitaire, halo, or something a little more unique, they’ve got a piece for you.

Now, we won’t lie, the prices start on the higher end. Women’s jewellery kicks off at $550, men’s at $700, and engagement rings from $1,250. But honestly, with a lifetime warranty, it feels worth the investment.

We also really liked how easy they make everything. You can book an appointment online – whether it’s virtual or in-person – and track your orders through the site. Plus, their live chat feature is super handy for quick questions. 

Pros

  • 40 years of experience
  • Wide variety of styles
  • Popular engagement rings
  • Lifetime warranty
  • Easy booking and order tracking
  • Live chat feature

Cons

  • Higher price range
  • A few reports of poor customer service

Helps customers choose the perfect piece with expert advice

“Hi, my name is Chad. I recently had the pleasure of visiting Bijoux Marsan, and I can’t say enough about the exceptional experience I had. The store itself is beautifully laid out, with an impressive selection of stunning pieces that cater to all tastes and budgets. The level of customer service I received was truly outstanding, with Antoney, the owner, providing expert advice and helping me choose the perfect piece of jewellery. Their custom jewellery service exceeded my expectations, resulting in a beautifully crafted, one-of-a-kind piece. Bijoux Marsan also offers competitive pricing, providing excellent value for money. I highly recommend Bijoux Marsan to anyone in search of high-quality jewelry and exceptional customer service.”

Chad Mian, Google Review

Warmly greets customers on return visits

“Exceptional experience at Bijoux Marsan! Highly recommend it! My husband spent months searching for a specific necklace to gift me for Christmas, and it was this store that had it. Upon returning to have the necklace shortened, the staff warmly greeted us and replaced the chain at no cost. As luck would have it, I also had another necklace on me (from another store) that needed a clasp repair. They happily fixed it on the spot for a small fee – in just minutes! I was pleasantly surprised because the other store was going to charge me more and required a 10-day wait. To top it off, they even cleaned a third necklace for free. I love this store! Bijoux Marsan not only showcases exquisite jewellery but also provides outstanding customer service. Highly recommend it!”
