Montreal jewelry boutique launches own Canadian diamond engagement collection

Article content

We love discovering new-to-us Canadian brands and boutiques. Especially when they launch something that really leans in to the Made-in-Canada movement.

Montreal jewelry boutique Château D’Ivoire has long been in the jewelry game, setting up shop in the city in 1978. Recently though, the jeweller, which boasts on onsite workshop, launched a line of engagement rings called the Nord-Ouest Collection that are entirely made in Canada, using Canadian diamonds.

We caught up with Sarah Kaidbey, director of marketing for the company and a second-generation family member working in the business to learn more.

Q: For those who aren’t familiar, what is Château D’Ivoire?

A: Château D’Ivoire is a family-owned luxury jewelry and watch boutique established in 1978 and located in the heart of Montreal. For over four decades, we have been proud to offer our clients an exclusive selection of fine jewelry and prestigious timepieces, alongside personalized, expert service in a refined setting.

Q: What makes it unique?

A: Our boutique stands apart for its heritage, craftsmanship, and dedication to excellence. We are one of the few maisons in Canada with an in-house jewelry workshop, where master artisans design and handcraft exclusive pieces on-site. This unique capability allows us to bring custom creations and exclusive collections — such as Nord-Ouest — to life under one roof.

Château D’Ivoire is also proud to be an authorized retailer for some of the world’s most respected watch brands, including Rolex, Cartier, and Bulgari. The experience we provide is discreet, tailored, and rooted in a deep passion for horology and haute joaillerie.

Q: Who is the target customer?

A: Our clients range from first-time luxury buyers to seasoned collectors. They are discerning individuals who value quality, authenticity, and exceptional service. Whether they are looking for a timeless engagement ring, a one-of-a-kind jewelry piece, or a rare timepiece, they turn to Château D’Ivoire for trusted expertise and a refined shopping experience.

Q: What can you share about the new Canadian-made engagement collection?

A: Our new Nord-Ouest collection is a refined tribute to Canadian craftsmanship and natural beauty. Entirely designed and handcrafted in our Montreal atelier, the collection offers two distinct lines of engagement rings, both united by a shared philosophy: timeless design, quality materials, and authenticity.

Each ring is crafted in 19-karat gold and set with a responsibly sourced Canadian diamond, offering a level of personalization and craftsmanship that reflects the values of our maison. With Nord-Ouest, we are proud to offer engagement rings that are not only meaningful and beautiful, but entirely made in Canada — from the first sketch to the final polish.

The collection is composed of two signature models: Nord, with its clean lines and subtle claw setting, evokes quiet strength and modern elegance. And Ouest, with its gently domed band and low-profile bezel, reflects a softer, more organic design sensibility.

Both styles are understated yet distinctive, designed to celebrate love with sincerity, intention, and a deep respect for craftsmanship.

Q:What is the price range?

A: This collection starts at $4,500 for a model with a 0.50 carat diamond and can go up to $36,500 for a two-carat diamond setting. As each ring is made to order, clients can also explore customized options that suit their preferences and budget.

Q: And where can people learn more?

A: To learn more, clients are invited to visit us in-store at 2020 Rue de la Montagne in Montreal or explore a selection of our offerings online at Chateaudivoire.com.
