HOWARD Fine Jewellers: Ottawa's Most Trusted Jeweller!
A time honoured institution, HOWARD Fine Jewellers & Custom Designers is a leader in the fine jewellery industry, with a distinctive collection and a national reputation for excellence. Established in 1967, in Ottawa, Ontario, HOWARD is a local Canadian family owned and operated jewellery store located in downtown Ottawa’s historic Sparks Street, North America’s original outdoor mall.
HOWARD is your go-to diamond and coloured gemstone broker, custom designer and on-site jewellery repair centre. We pride ourselves in carrying only the most beautiful pieces that are guaranteed to become family heirlooms to be passed on and treasured for generations. From engagement rings, wedding bands, gold and diamond jewellery to coloured gemstone pieces, and more!
At HOWARD, we believe in recognizing a familiar face, warmly welcoming a new one, and treating everyone who enters our doors the way we would want to be treated ourselves. It is our belief that no purchase or service is too big or too small to create lasting impressions and memorable experiences that will stay with our clients.
Pearl of Hope Bracelet
The Pearl of Hope Bracelet, in collaboration with Boutique Cornerstone is a limited edition collection of single pearl bracelets, featuring a fresh water pearl accented with sterling silver beads. The purple cord symbolizing hope.
100% of the proceeds donated to Cornerstone.
Our collective mission with our sister store True Bijoux is to sell 1000 bracelets, each one symbolizing the stark reality: 1000 women left destitute, homeless and vulnerable on the streets of Ottawa every year.
