Our Story & Mission Statement
At Canadian Jewellers, our story is deeply rooted in passion, family values, and our unwavering dedication to ensuring exceptional customer experiences and satisfaction. Founded in 1985 by Bearj Shimoon, alongside his wife, Karen Shimoon, Canadian Jewellers has had the privilege of serving multiple generations of customers with unparalleled craftsmanship and an authentic commitment to creating unforgettable jewellery experiences. As a dynamic husband-and-wife team, Bearj & Karen Shimoon have fostered the growth of their company, earning its reputation as a trusted and cherished presence in the community for over 40 years. Our enduring commitment to providing outstanding experiences is the cornerstone of our mission.
Bearj Shimoon's remarkable skills and dedication as a third-generation master jeweller, having learned the craft from his uncle at just 14 years old, have been instrumental in our long-standing success. With his expertise and guidance, every piece of jewellery at Canadian Jewellers reflects the highest standards of quality and artistry, ensuring each customer receives a truly exceptional creation.
In 2004, Bearj and Karen's daughter, Danielle Forbes, joined the family business, continuing the legacy they had built. With a natural passion for jewellery, a keen eye for design, and a deep appreciation for her parents’ values, Danielle played a vital role in supporting the vision they established. Together, Karen and Danielle have cultivated a welcoming environment where personalized service, thoughtful design, and authentic connections are at the heart of everything we do.
At Canadian Int’l Jewellers, we firmly believe that a company’s strength lies in the people who represent it each day. That’s why our professionally trained and knowledgeable team, led by General Manager Sarah since 2013, is dedicated to delivering expert service in a friendly and welcoming environment. Whether you visit our downtown location or explore our website, we are committed to providing personalized attention, ensuring every customer feels genuinely valued and appreciated.
We recognize that jewellery carries a deeper significance beyond being a physical item; it's an expression of love, appreciation, and individuality. We consider it an honour to be entrusted with these sentiments and take pride in upholding and cherishing them with the utmost care and respect.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know our business and the core values we hold dear. Your interest is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to having the opportunity to serve you with our exceptional jewellery and personalized experiences.
