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.

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.

For centuries, they have represented wealth, status, and prestige — treasured by emperors, sought after by royalty, and among the world’s most coveted gems.
For jewellery professionals, knowing the difference matters. Pearl knowledge builds confidence, strengthens client trust, and helps you tell the story behind every piece.

Saurez-vous distinguer une perle naturelle d’une perle de culture? Une perle d’Akoya d’une perle des mers du Sud? Une perle traitée d’une perle non traitée?
Les perles naissent de la nature avec une beauté qui leur est propre.
Depuis des siècles, elles sont synonymes de richesse, de statut et de prestige — prisées par les empereurs, convoitées par la royauté et comptant parmi les gemmes les plus recherchées au monde.
Pour les professionnels de la joaillerie, savoir faire la différence est essentiel. Une bonne connaissance des perles renforce la confiance, consolide la relation avec les clients et permet de raconter l’histoire qui se cache derrière chaque pièce.
JETS — Jewellery Education Training System permet aux professionnels de la vente en joaillerie d’acquérir les connaissances sur les produits, l’expertise du secteur et la confiance nécessaires pour mieux communiquer avec leurs clients et les accompagner dans chaque achat.
