Marilyn Monroe once sang “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend”, but she forgot to mention our soft spot for sparklers like blue topaz, rose quartz, Pacific opal, crystals, and well…we could go on. It’s no secret that a woman’s love for sparkle runs deep, nor is it news that a fine piece of jewelry can make or break an entire ensemble. Luckily for Vancouver’s fashionistas, there is no shortage of fancy, fun, and fabulous gems that are sure to make you the belle of the ball – or just brunch. Because shouldn’t our jewels bring out the best in us? That’s what a BFF does, after all!

Star Sparkle
Constantina James of Simply Sublime Design (150-3737 Oak Street) is no amateur when it comes to decadent jewelry design. With a star-studded clientele that sparkles just as bright as her baubles, her quaint Vancouver atelier is a true treasure trove. The studio also carries a bevy of designer clothing lines just to make sure that your new pair of 24 K Rose Gold drop earrings will fall exquisitely next to that Ella Moss jersey dress.

Glam-a-rama
Jeweliette‘s salon-style boutique (692 Seymour Street & W Georgia St) is a sophisticated spot for the jewelry aficionado. Run by a dynamic mother-daughter team, the shop offers an eclectic mix of modernly hip and classically cool pieces. Glamour girls take note: an aqua color crystal bracelet makes a stunning accent against summery white fabrics and is perfect for the CRAVE gal who wants to stand out in a crowd.

Fine Design
Like its name, Blue Ruby jewelry boutique showcases a colorful juxtaposition of richly unique jewelry designs from a list of global artisans. Since the first store opened in 1998, Blue Ruby has expanded into seven Vancouver locations to feed the appetites of its jewelry mavens. Visit the site for a complete list of their shops, and note their fabulous commitment social causes both locally and beyond. As if you didn’t already have enough reasons to shop here!
