Two decades ago, Fine Jewellery by Colette opened its doors in the heart of Forest Hill. It was not long before the brand had established its reputation for being the trusted source for jewellery in the neighbouring community and beyond. Each custom piece of jewellery begins with a thorough understanding of her client's objective, resulting in a unique and personalized piece of jewellery.
Redesigning jewellery is essentially taking the diamonds and gemstones from existing pieces to create something completely new. The gold from the previous setting can be used as credit toward the new design. Redesigning jewellery provides the opportunity for an updated look while preserving sentimental or heirloom stones.

Colette has a passion for the jewellery business which has led her to sourcing gemstones and diamonds within the international market, grading diamonds for the GIA gemological laboratory (in London England), custom designing and appraising for local high end jewellery stores, teaching workshops, consulting for important jewellery auctions and trade organizations, and then finally setting down roots with her own store front at 928 Eglinton Avenue West in Toronto.
To understand your needs and desires, the design process begins with a consultation and hand created sketches. Precious stones are selected through reputable sources and we work with our team of skilled bench jewellers to create your unique and exclusive piece of jewellery. Estimates are calculated to meet your budget.
At Fine Jewellery by Colette we provide complimentary appraisals with all our custom designed jewellery. Call or email to book a consultation with one of our jewellery experts to discuss your appraisal requirements. Testing jewellery requires weighing, counting, describing, evaluating, identifying and photographing each piece.
Over the years Fine Jewellery by Colette has acquired quite a vast collection of vintage jewellery. Colette built her inventory by restoring and redesigning estate, antique and vintage pieces. Through buying and selling at international antique shows, Colette's collection grew into the refined collection as it is known today.
Some jewellery is worn daily, while others saved for special events, however most jewellery will inevitably become subject to damage. An inadvertent knock or bang to rings will cause stones to shake out of their settings. An accidental pull on a chain can cause the links to slightly stretch or even break.
