Today, Celtic Creations offers the finest selection of gold and silver Celtic jewellery in Canada. We also carry nearly everything under the Irish sun: hats by Muckross Weavers, pewter from Mullingar Pewter, belts and buckles from Lee River belts, and Ogham Wishes hand painted by Ethel Kelly. Born in the very south of Ireland, Helen Ritchie was raised on the cultural influences of County Cork.
She immigrated to Vancouver with her family in 1987, but like many before her, she missed her homeland. To bridge the distance, she decorated her home with Celtic designs. Since so many Canadians either had Celtic roots or newfound appreciation for Celtic culture, Helen decided to open a store and share her heritage.

The jewelry is absolutely gorgeous and very unique. Haven't come across designs like these anywhere else. The service was also great. Due to covid, we had to make an appointment to come in. Ladies working there were lovely, very helpful, and patient. I took my time choosing and am very happy with what we got. Absolutely recommend

Great products! Havent been able to get down to north van but havent had any issues getting products safely shipped to me in a timely manner. I havent taken my two necklaces off since I got them months ago, sleep shower etc very rough on my jewelry and they've help up. no discoloration and I myself am very sensitive to lower quality jewelry. They carry my favorite brand that stores here also do and still beat the prices including shipping. Very grateful for their business! Highly recommend

Ordered some lovely jewelry, last minute purchase from local store, Helen called me twice to let me know it may not make it for Christmas and could they send it FedEx (no extra charge!!!!) and would I like gift wrap. Talk about amazing customer service 💖 Gifts arrived today. So beautiful, could not be happier. Thank you Celtic Creations!

I really did not have the best experience. I bought Sterling Silver a Claddagh ring for approx $40. And as much as I loved the design, after less than an hour of wearing it, it turned my finger green. That’s just ridiculous. I’m allergic to copper and while I recognize that Sterling Silver is a mix of metals (9.25 = 92.5% Silver) the amount of copper is usually so low that I don’t have a reaction, especially in higher end sterling silver (which for $40 I assumed it would be).
But I only know it turned my finger green because it started to hurt and so I had to take it off. Honestly, I have

Worked here for over 5 years as my first job, and now the crew is like family! Helen and Keith make a fabulous team and the quality of service and products in this store are the best you can get. I have quite the collection of Keith Jack creations at this point that I wear all the time! Can't wait to see the new location.

We purchased my (Keith Jack) wedding ring at Celtic Creations two years ago. It’s a beautiful piece of art on my finger and I get compliments frequently. This year when my ring broke their staff reassured me that it would be fixed in a timely manner and they were incredibly professional and reassuring while delivering on their promises!

Loved this place. Note that it is no longer at Lonsdale quay but now a block up on Lonsdale Ave west side. The jewellery selection is very tastefull and elegant as well as having a best large selection of Irish and Scottish design jewellery ever seen. They also carry wall hangings, wood and tapestry. Staff are wonderful. Go and have a look and I am certain you will not leave empty handed. We did not leave empty handed and love the purchase we made.

Had a wonderful experience at Celtic Creations. Went in looking for a special gift for my wife on our 25th anniversary on a trip to Vancouver. I didn't have a lot of time and the staff there went above and beyond on several occasions. They were out of stock on one special item (i bought all 3 and needed a 4th item) and they (Helen R) offered to send it to me when it was ordered - no extra charge. I will definitely stop into the shop the next time I'm in Vancouver. (If I were an octopus it would be 8 thumbs)

Thank you Rose (left for Boston before I returned to show off my new jewelry) and Stephanie - love the purple in your hair!. You were both wonderful and everyone at the wedding Sunday commented on my ring, necklace and earrings. Hopefully you will get some new customers. Pictures will be on my webpage if I can't add them here.
