John Anstett was born in Walkerton, Ontario and had many years of experience in the jewellery business. John worked for Harold Bates in Dundas, Ontario for 3 to 4 years after the war, where he received his certificate in Horology in 1948 as a Watchmaker. This was the beginning of the Anstett Jewellers family owned business.
They started with little more than hard work and sheer determination to build a fine and reputable jewellery business. In those days, Anstett sold not only diamonds and jewellery, but clocks, tea sets, giftware and china. Anstetts carried many brand names including Blue Bird diamonds, Gruen watches, Royal Doulton, Spode, and Rogers Brothers Silverware.

Garnet traces its roots to the Nile Delta in 3100 B.C., where Egyptian artisans would craft the gemstone into beads or inlay them into hand-wrought jewellery. Noah used garnet as a lamp on his bow as he cast about on the ocean. Garnet received its name from the ancient Greeks because the colour reminded them of the "granatum, " or pomegranate seed.

My family has been dealing with Anstett Jewellers for many many years. The staff have always gone out of their way to to help me. During my wedding my elaborate necklace broke (purchased from a crystal store). I took it to Anstett’s to see if the could fix it for me. They could not, do to how the pieces fit together. However they suggested that I use the one broken piece and make it into a pendant that I could wear every day. It was such a great idea and I am in a way so happy is broke as I have a piece of my wedding I can wear every day.

I have been a long time customer of Anstett Jewellers and recently purchased a new pair of gold earrings. When I described to Cathy what I was looking for, she knew exactly what I wanted and showed me several different versions and price ranges. I am delighted with my newest purchase and as always with the top notch service! Thank you Cathy!

Awesome locally owned, family business! Cathy and her team made shopping for an engagement ring a memorable experience, they covered all of my questions and concerns. I left feeling confident and comfortable! My beautiful fiancé LOVED her Maple Leaf diamond, and she said YES! Would 100% recommend. The Anstett team really takes their time to show the customers they care. Will be loyal customer for many years to come!

Although I’ve only been with the Anstett family a short while, my time here has been wonderful! The family has always provided a safe, fun work environment for all of us! I have nothing but the utmost respect for both the previous owners Mike and Dave, and the new owner Cathy. It means the world that I have finally found a place with an Employer who makes a point of helping each and every member of the Anstett team thrive - and never lets a day go by without letting us know we are appreciated :) It has been a privilege working with the Anstetts!

We finally got around to resizing my husband's wedding band and taking care of the anxiety of losing his ring. Our bands are original one of kind lost wax designs and we were concerned we would loss the beautiful design to have it resized. We are grateful to the new owner Cathy who listen and reassured us Anstett Jewellers in house gold smith would do their best to maintain the design. Last minute thought I had my matching ring polished while we discussed the repair. We are very grateful for all the personal service we received.

My parents have been an Anstett Jewellers customer for over 50 years. When I got older I too became an Anstett customer and still am after 36 years. When I lived in BC for 6 1/2 years no other jeweller touch my jewellery. My jewellery was always brought home to Anstett’s as I valued and trusted them to look after my prized possessions. When my husband (who was in BC) had Dave present me with my Lazare Kaplan diamond custom made engagement ring I was over the moon. Over the years my collection of special pieces has grown.

I had a wonderful shopping experience and would highly recommend going to this store! I was greeted by the friendly staff when I entered who were super helpful with my purchases. There was a really great selection of rings, necklaces and earrings, with repair's on site. I found two perfect pairs of earrings! Cathy was very knowledgeable and helpful, she even polished up my purchases and other jewelry I had on as a courtesy! It was the best jewelry shopping experiences I've ever had! Thanks, Anstett Jewellers!!
