About Us
A Sign Of Trust Since 1918
On November 15, 1884, the Jewellers Security Alliance of Canada—the forerunner of the Canadian Jewellers Association (CJA)—was founded in Toronto. Due to risks in the business at that time, its primary purpose was to help jewellers strengthen their security methods and generally discourage jewellery store theft.

On November 15, 1884, the Jewellers Security Alliance of Canada—the forerunner of the Canadian Jewellers Association (CJA)—was founded in Toronto. Due to risks in the business at that time, its primary purpose was to help jewellers strengthen their security methods and generally discourage jewellery store theft. In addition, the alliance was focused on building: a more professional industry to serve customers; a better working relationship among all members of the jewellery industry; and better relationships with their partners in government.
Whether you’re hunting for gold or silver, diamonds or coloured gems, this is the first step on your journey toward selecting that perfect piece of jewellery to add to your collection.
Whether for everyday wear or a momentous occasion, jewellery often carries significant meaning, while also contributing to your individual style. Before purchasing a piece of fine jewellery, either for yourself or to give as a special gift, it is important to consider every aspect, so you can purchase with confidence and feel good about your choice.
