Our line of jewellery includes Klondike gold nugget, handcrafted beaded, hand painted mother of pearl, and Ammolite, the official gemstone for the City of Lethbridge.

In a remote locale outside Lethbridge, the world’s largest and most successful mine is in operation, supplying 90% of the world’s Ammolite.

Extremely rare and beautiful, Ammolite's iridescent colours glow with the beauty of the rainbow. 71 million years of tectonic pressure created this gem from the fossilized remains of the shell ammonite.

A glittering addition to any jewelry collection, Ammolite's luminous qualities rival the famous black opal for colour and fire.

Each Ammolite gem is unique in brilliance, colour and pattern. The rarest and most desirable show three or more colours and are graded AA.
