Located on Ste-Catherine’s street in the heart of Montreal’s busy downtown shopping district, the Birks Jewelry Store has occupied the same landmark building facing Philips Square since 1881.
Step in and admire the sumptuous decor, which was completely renovated in 2019. Patrons can enjoy a new Bridal Bar, a Concierge Station, and the Birks Lounge, which offers “a chic, relaxing area where books and heritage pieces frame a Nespresso coffee station, perfect for spending a calm afternoon of browsing beautiful jewellery and timepieces.”
Expect to pay a hefty price if you’re thinking of bringing a little something back home — Birk’s is Canada’s leading fine luxury jewelery and timepieces retailer. In fact, their brand is so well-known that knock-offs of their iconic blue boxes can be found online.
Going through a rough patch? You can sell your old jewelry and gold to any one of the independant appraisers whose offices are conviently located just a block away, on the other side of Phillips Square… Our suggestion: Morrier-Montréal.
Update, October 2019: endless construction on Sainte-Catherine has forced several businesses to close or move to other, more accessible neighborhoods. Morrier-Montreal is now located at the following address:
1310 Avenue Greene Suite 305
Montréal, QC H3Z 2B2
