This year we’ve put together a curated gift guide to include beautiful, Canadian-made diamond studs, practical houseware items and luxurious, scented candles, hand-poured right here in Vancouver. And if you’re a Mom, happy early Mother’s Day to you!
Mejuri Diamond Halo Studs
These precious little Mejuri diamond studs are designed using 14k solid gold with sustainably-sourced diamonds, and measure 6 mm x 6 mm.
Their estimated retail is CAD $600, but Mejuri prices them at $375, a nice little luxury to spoil Mom with this Mother’s Day.
Mejuri offers free expedited shipping on all orders, a 60-day return and a two-year warranty.
