At Independent Jewellers (IJL), designing a custom creation that captures your unique vision and speaks to your story is easier than you think. "Creating a custom piece of jewelry is perfect for any occasion. It offers the ability to tailor a design to perfectly match your specifications," explains Rebecca Smith, designer and sales consultant for IJL. "It gives you the opportunity to create a piece of wearable art for your loved one that is sentimental, unique and created just for them." e process starts with a consultation in person at 493 Notre Dame Ave. or via phone, email or video chat. Clients can come to the consultation with inspirational photos and directions or start with a blank slate. IJL's team of professionals will take the time to get to know their clients, hear about their inspiration and learn about their lifestyles. "We are here to guide every appointment, educate clients about diamonds, gemstones, pros and cons of different precious metals and styles and, most importantly, listen to their vision. If a client doesn't have a strong vision for the design, it's our job to help them find that direction and visualize that piece," says Smith.
