Canadian Costume Jewellery Designers

This web page is provided as a reference to costume jewellery collectors who wish to identify some rather obscure names. Much has been written on European and American designers as the history of jewellery design there has been very well documented. Canadian jewellery though, has received scant attention in publications due to its relatively small production numbers or short lived companies.
