True luxury is not just about what you wear—it is about the story you carry with you. This exceptional 18-karat yellow gold ring offers a beautifully crafted homage to one of the most iconic jewelry concepts in history. In 1970s New York, legendary designer Aldo Cipullo turned the ordinary into the extraordinary for Cartier. He took a humble, industrial object—a simple hardware nail—and transformed it into an avant-garde symbol of rebellion, raw energy, and pure sophistication.
It was a design that dared to elevate everyday utility into high fashion, capturing the vibrant, rule-breaking spirit of the era. The original design is still a Cartier staple item as seen on their website where it is priced at $4,050.00. This particular ring beautifully honors that historic, boundary-pushing legacy. Masterfully crafted in Italy, a region world-renowned for its unparalleled goldsmithing heritage, the ring showcases a radiant, high-polish finish that plays exquisitely with the light.
Unlike lighter alternatives, this piece boasts a highly substantial weight of 7.8 grams with a shank measuring 2.9mm diameter. When you slip it onto your finger, you will immediately notice that reassuring, weighted presence—a true hallmark of solid, fine jewelry craftsmanship. Sized at a comfortable 7 ½, its sleek, fluid bypass silhouette wraps effortlessly around the finger. The smooth contours strike the perfect balance between bold modernism and classic elegance. It functions as a striking standalone statement piece, yet seamlessly stacks alongside your favorite everyday bands.
Whether paired with casual denim or an elegant evening look, this Italian-made ring infuses your style with a touch of architectural edge and historical appreciation. Own a piece that celebrates iconic design heritage while offering the lasting value of solid 18-karat Italian gold. Estate priced at $1,960.00 CAD. Stock #401-00340.
There is a profound difference between a watch that merely tells time and a timepiece that carries a legacy. The 2015 Baume & Mercier Classima M0A10075 is a definitive expression of Swiss horological mastery, preserved in never-worn, pristine condition, accompanied by its original box and documentation. Originally purchased from the Humbertown Jewellers Toronto Ontario, this specific 42mm timepiece represents a rare opportunity to acquire a flawless, classic timepiece. At close to 200 years old since the forming of the original company the brand represents a legacy of excellence.
To wear a Baume & Mercier is to align oneself with nearly two centuries of uninterrupted watchmaking tradition. Founded in 1830 by brothers Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume in Les Bois, they established a reputation for avant-garde precision and uncompromising quality under the motto: “Accept only perfection, only manufacture watches of the highest quality.” When William Baume partnered with Paul Mercier in 1918, the powerhouse brand brought this meticulous craftsmanship to the world’s elite. The Classima collection directly inherits this DNA, seamlessly bridging the gap between historical elegance and contemporary presence. Beneath the minimalist, sophisticated dial lies the true heart of this timepiece: the 21-jewel ETA 2892-A2 self winding movement.
Celebrated by watchmakers globally, this caliber is widely regarded as one of the finest, most reliable mechanical movements ever engineered. Engineered for premium comfort and a slim case design. Highly efficient winding mechanism with a sensitive ball bearing rotor and 42-hour power reserve. It’s a luxury-grade workhorse movement known for exceptional accuracy and effortless servicing. It has been beautifully decorated, modified by Baume & Mercier and showcased through a display window on the case back. Every element of this Classima M0A10075 exudes quiet luxury. The 42mm stainless steel case delivers a commanding presence thanks to the large dial with thin polished bezel, yet still tailored looking on the wrist. Its clean silvery/white dial features a delicate line guilloché pattern at the center, beautifully balanced by classic Roman numerals and slim leaf hands.
The watch is perfectly paired with its original black crocodile leather strap, offering an unmatched texture that softens elegantly over time. Securing the strap is the signature Baume & Mercier deployment buckle, designed to prevent wear on the premium leather while ensuring the watch remains safely fastened.
Finding a 2014 model that has spent its life protected in a vault rather than on a wrist is exceptionally rare. This watch arrives complete with its original box and endorsed warranty and and instruction booklet, serving as a time capsule from the day it left Humbertown Jewellers.
The box looks heavily handled compared to the flawless watch. There is a small presentation engraving on the case back edge than has been edited out of our image. We’d be happy to polish it away while you wait if you wish. Whether you are marking a significant personal milestone, expanding a curated collection, or seeking a daily boardroom companion that speaks volumes without shouting, this Classima is a flawless choice.
It is not just a purchase; it is the acquisition of an untouched piece of Swiss history. It is working perfectly and keeping excellent time. We are happy to include a one year warranty for the next owner. Estate priced at $1,400.00 CAD. Stock #501-00458.

Stepping into the world of motorsport heritage does not always require a vintage race car. Sometimes, it only takes a glance at your wrist. The Tag Heuer Monza WR2110 beautifully bridges the gap between historical racing prestige and contemporary style. Originally designed in 1976 by Jack Heuer to celebrate Niki Lauda’s historic Formula 1 World Championship victory with Ferrari, the Monza remains a masterclass in motorsport design. This specific model captures that romantic era of racing with its distinct, retro cushion-shaped case.
It offers a sophisticated, vintage silhouette that stands out effortlessly in a crowd of standard round watches. The stark black dial with concentric rings, bold Arabic numerals, and classic hands pay a direct tribute to the dashboard instruments of classic racing cockpits.
This particular timepiece is in excellent condition, showing minimal signs of wear and preserving its sharp case lines and crisp finishes. While it honors the past, it embraces a bold, modern twist in its styling.
It comes equipped with an authentic black rubber strap sourced from a Tag Heuer Formula 1 model, complete with signed buckle.
This unique pairing creates a striking contrast. It injects a rugged, contemporary energy into the watch’s refined vintage aesthetic. The durable rubber strap ensures maximum comfort and versatility, making it perfect for both formal evenings and casual weekend drives.

Owning this Monza WR2110 means wearing a piece of racing history, reimagined for the modern collector. It is an exceptional opportunity to acquire an uncommon legendary design that balances timeless heritage with an edgy, individual character.
Powering the Monza is the Tag Heuer Caliber 6 (ETA 2895-2).

A small subsidiary seconds hand at 6:00 o’clock and subtle calendar display between the 4 and 5 hour marker add some extra utility. The watch is running great and keeping good time. It comes with a modern Tag Heuer inner and outer box. Including our 1 year warranty the watch is estate priced at $2,500.00 CAD. Stock #520-00203.

Current collectible or future collectible? Without a doubt it’s both. The Rolex Air-King has been around in one form or another for over 70 years. This basic looking oyster case Rolex was first labeled Air-King as a tribute to Britain’s Royal Air Force who participated in the battle of Britain. RAF pilots of the time preferred using Rolex oysters over their standard issue lower quality watches.
The robust design and relatively large case size made them the perfect pilot tool for quick time interpretation and navigation. If you visit your local Rolex agent to buy a modern 34mm oyster 124200 you’ll notice the dial no longer reads Air-King. The traditional size 34mm Oyster Perpetual “Air-King” era appears to be over.
Our latest estate Rolex is in very good condition for a late 1997 model year watch. It looks as if it was only occasionally worn. Our example features the striking and rare radial finish blue/Arabic tritium dial (and hands) making this example a little more unique. Tritium was used for the luminous material by Rolex from the 1960s until the late 1990s, when it was replaced by luminova. Tritium dials can easily be recognized by the Ts that bracket SWISS MADE at the bottom of the dial on watches from this era.
Over the years it is expected the tritium dial markers will turn from white to parchment hue or even to a beautiful tan patina. Tan markers over sunburst blue would look amazing, it might take another 30 years of aging before that happens to this watch. Most Air-King models have a silver, black or white dial with simple stick hour markers. Although Rolex call this watch a 34mm, the case actually measures 34.4mm. The traditional and often copied Oyster bracelet contains its full compliment of links and displays almost no sag and zero stretch.
This is a full set and then some. Comes with the original inner/outer box, fully endorsed Dec. 1997 warranty card from La Swiss Mississauga, booklets, and a Rolex factory service card from 2014.
You’ll notice the small blue circular sticker on the outer box that signifies the blue dial is original to the watch.
The only blemish worth mentioning on the watch is the two small impact marks on the lab-grown sapphire service crystal.
This is likely the result of a diamond ring making contact at some point. The tiny marks go practically unnoticed except under scrutiny, we never even noticed until we took the pictures for this posting. I love the blue dial, it’s so nice I almost want to keep it for myself. It reminds me of something my Dad used to say, “never fall in love with your inventory”. So with wise words we are offering this classic Air-King for the estate price of $7,000.00 CAD, including our one year warranty. Stock #505-00682.
This extraordinary cocktail ring captures the bold, architectural elegance of the 1940s Retro Moderne era. A Masterpiece of Mid-Century Artistry. At the center of this statement piece rests a magnificent, genuine natural aquamarine measuring 20.2mm x 16.3mm estimated to weigh 23.45 carats. The gemstone features an emerald cut, which uses long, linear facets to showcase the flawless clarity and serene, watery blue hue of this high-quality natural aquamarine. Unlike modern mass-produced jewelry, this ring is completely hand-made, exhibiting the meticulous skill of a mid-century master jeweler. This ring was not cast but assembled from many sections all soldered together one piece at a time.
This sort of construction is the mark of a true master and rarely seen today. Modern rings are designed with computer software, then 3D printed as wax models that finished rings are cast from. If one doesn’t cast correctly, just print off another or print 100 more. If you mess up a fabricated ring it can fall apart or you could melt part of it.
This ring was made from an unknown artist as it piece bears no trademark or signature. It’s a work of art on its own, weighing a substantial 12.2 grams (including the gem). Featuring dramatic, stylized scrollwork and ribbed detailing along the gallery, a signature style of 1940s luxury fashion.
The substantial, secure prongs blend beautifully into the sculptural frame, balancing the massive scale of the gemstone with refined, wearable artistry.
Sized perfectly at a finger size 6 1/2, it sits comfortably on the hand while commanding attention from every angle across the room. An Investment in Timeless Luxury. Owning this ring means wearing a piece of history that cannot be replicated. It is the perfect heirloom investment for a discerning collector or a breathtaking signature piece for special occasions.

Rolex is a company steeped in tradition, they stick with a consistent design for years, decades in some cases with little change in appearance. They continuously incorporate upgrades to existing models as they are developed. The Explorer is one of the most recognizable Rolex watches ever made. Originally introduced 1953 as a large for the era 36mm adventure’s watch of rugged design that was easy to read under any condition and watertight to 100 meters.
It bridged the styling gap between the larger sports focused models like the Submariner, GMT-Master, and the dressier Datejust, Day-Date watches. In 2010 Rolex shocked the watch world by retiring the classic 36mm size and introducing a larger 39mm version of the Explorer. Identical in appearance, it addressed the demand for a larger version of the classic Rolex field watch.
The 39mm was a huge success, selling well in both the new and preowned market. In a baffling move they discontinued the popular 39mm 214270 in 2021 and reintroduced a new 36mm in a “what’s new is old” move. Many Rolex purest rejoiced that the brand had returned to their roots with the smaller size, but an equal contingent of consumers still wanted something larger. Rolex fans were left wondering why they would retire the successful full sized version that was a sales hit for over 10 years. Well, in 2023 it all made sense with the introduction of the newest, biggest Rolex Explorer ever, a 40mm version. Rolex now offer the Explorer in both a 36mm (model 124270) and our featured 40mm (model 224270) for the first time ever. This one has only been lightly worn. It is in very good untouched condition. There is only minor evidence of use with small scuff and scratches mostly on the buckle.
It comes complete with booklets, instructions, inner/outer boxes, protective cardboard sleeve, foam box liner, green chronometer hang tag, and the white paper tag showing product serial number.
Including the balance of the Rolex 5-year international warranty that will cover the new owner until November of 2028. This watch is estate priced at $11,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00469.

Platinum Daytona with this colour dial routinely trade hands for over $100,000.00. This Tag Heuer gives a similar look with a more than 97% saving.
Okay so a Rolex and a Tag-Heuer aren’t exactly the same machine but do the same job and both companies have a long history producing high quality Swiss watches. This Aquaracer is a current offering that can be seen on the Tag Heuer corporate website priced at $3,800.00 CAD.
If you buy this watch from an authorized agent you’ll get a small box, instructions, and a warranty card. When you buy it online through Tag Heuer you also get this giant black and red bifold box (14″ x 9 1/2″ x 6″), certificate, and handsome travel box.
I guess when you go direct to consumer for the same price you can afford to include some attractive upgraded packaging. This watch was purchased in the spring of 2023 and was only worn a handful of times.
It remains in original unpolished condition. There are only the lightest of swirl scuffs on the polished sections of the buckle which still sports some protective shipping stickers.
The beautiful ice-blue dial with horizontal stripes and recessed registers.
The large calendar and lap-time feature and extra utility that the $100,000.00 Rolex lacks. The watch is powered by an ultra reliable Swiss quartz movement that keeps time withing a second or two per month. The watch remains under the factories 2 year warranty for the next owner until the spring of 2025. Save over $500.00 compared to buying one from the agent and get the slightly over the top packaging for the estate price of $2,600.00 CAD. Stock #520-00116.
Sapphires are a variety of the mineral corundum. Pure corundum is completely colourless. If you have a watch with a “sapphire” crystal, it’s technically thin slice of lab-grown corundum that has been artificially grown. The sapphire in this ring is not lab-grown, it is a natural product of Mother Nature. Trace amounts of different elements cause corundum to shift from colourless to a potential rainbow of fancy coloured sapphires. Various saturations levels of blue are the most common hue we encounter. Occasionally Mother Natural overloads corundom with iron and titanium giving the sapphire an almost black appearance. In reality most black sapphires are so dark they are opaque and do not allow light to transmit through. This large pear shape is such a stone. In reflected light it is possible to see flashes of saturated navy blue, but the outward appearance of this 5.29 carat gem is black.
It is flanked by six small single cut diamonds on the shoulders that are further enhanced bright white rhodium. The bi-pass shank design has milgrain highlights applied to the shoulder along with some pierced filigree detail. These popular decorative features add to this striking ring that is big on visual impact, high in value, and low in cost.
The ring has been crafted from upgraded 14 karat gold with a gross weight of 4.7 grams. Excluding the sapphire and small diamonds, we estimate the net weight of gold is a bit over 3.6 grams. It is in excellent condition, freshly polished and ready to go. One of our onsite goldsmiths can adjust the ring up or down to suit almost any finger size. Estate priced at $650.00 CAD.

2026 marks the 100th anniversary of the Tudor registered trademark by Hans Wilsdorf (founder of sister company Rolex). Tudor watches didn’t make their commercial debut until years later in 1946. The Tudor Oyster case isn’t usually thought of as a tiny watch. Throughout the 100 year history of the Oyster case, there have always been more delicate, prettier, less expensive, more fashionable alternatives, but for durability and water-resistance the original 1926 Rolex design has stood the test of time. Our latest estate watch is one of the smallest Oyster case Tudor watches we have ever seen.
This watch measures just 23mm in diameter, yet comes with the same features as the gent’s full-sized models from the era. Not many lady’s watches from the 1970s could go from the formal dinner party to snorkeling in the ocean as well as a Tudor Oyster Princess. This watch is in good condition and shows its 53 years of age very well.
The stainless steel case and smooth polished bezel show scratches, small dings, and scuffs appropriate for a previously enjoyed watch that is more than half a century old. We have elected to leave the watch in as presented condition (aside from a crystal polish). One of our onsite goldsmiths can easily polish away and refinish the case in just a day or two if you’d like the watch restored to almost new condition. The very rare blue dial is practically perfect except minor discolouration around a few of the hour markers and three of the luminous tritium hour plots are partially missing/discoloured. Very few of these watches ever come to market and those that do usually have a silver dial.
The watch is running well and keeping decent time. It’s nice to see the original signed Rolex threaded crown and waterproof tube on this watch. Tudor no longer supply new replacement threaded crowns and waterproof tubes. This one is working great with 3/4 of a full rotation to unlock.
We just installed a new 12mm Hirsch black leather strap with generic stainless steel buckle. Including our 1 year warranty, this very rare Tudor Oyster Princess automatic is estate priced at $1,200.00 CAD. Stock #505-00680.

For hundreds of years, white dials with Roman numeral hour markers were the choice for watch and clock manufacturers from around the world. In fact, there were pretty much no other choices available. To do anything different was rarely even considered. While it may not be the most flamboyant choice, there is no denying how effective the combination is.
For a classic and conservative brand like Rolex, a white dial with stainless steel case is particularly attractive. Until I owned a white dial watch myself I really didn’t appreciate its simple elegance; now you’d have a hard time convincing me to go with any other colour. Our latest previously enjoyed watch was purchased in the summer of 2019.
It has been regularly and responsibly worn for 7 years, showing the sort of wear you’d expect, but it has never been touched up or refinished in any way.
Comes with the original boxes (both inner/outer and sleeve) along with the Rolex Oyster booklet, plastic chronometer hang tag, instructions, endorsed authorized agent warranty card, and the white cardboard product tag with serial/style numbers. Rolex watches are well known for their reliability and durability. They often run great for 10 years or more between service intervals. The 41mm size is more and more becoming the popular choice for men who desire a full-size watch. If you have been looking for an all-steel, full-sized Rolex you know just how difficult they are to find.
Most authorized agents have nothing available. There is no denying the added legibility that comes with this size, especially in white. As with the newer Rolex style the entire case is highly polished, only the top edges of the sporty Oyster bracelet receive a subtle brushed finish. Standard with the Oyster bracelet is what Rolex calls an “easy link”. This clever extension allows a quick 5mm length adjustment when an additional bit of length is more comfortable.
This watch is missing two of the adjustable links, but extras can easily be sourced. After over 300 years of wearable mechanical timekeeping devices, white dials with Roman numerals are still the first choice for many. Estate priced at $12,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00568.
The “Quad” engagement ring has been a box-store staple for at least a decade, it features a “main stone” made of four invisibly set princess cut diamonds made to look like one larger diamond at a glance. In this version, the grouping measures 7.5mm wide, equal to the footprint of well cut 2.50 to 3.00 carat princess cut single diamond.
In reality, the entire wedding set contains 2.00 carat total weight of princess and round brilliant cut diamonds, all of nicely matched I1-J quality. Both rings currently measure a finger size 7 1/4 with a bit of room to adjust. The 14 karat white gold set is originally from Peoples.
This ring set is currently listed on Peoples website for $5,039,20 CAD (on sale from $6,299.00). Our estate price for the set is only $3,080.00 CAD. Stock #101-00373.

Seiko are back on the radar since introducing their premium Grand Seiko line of watches to the North American market in the fall of 2010. Prior to this these were exclusively available at select Japanese retail stores.
The Prospex models bridge the gap between entry level and the luxury Grand Seiko. This limited edition 200 meter diver showcases a super tough lab-grown sapphire crystal, one way timer bezel with 120 index clicks, screw on case-back, screw down 4:00 o’clock crown, extra large hands/hour markers all treated with bright luminous material, quick set calendar, durable shock-resistant 6R35 automatic winding movement with a long 70 hour power reserve.
The all blacked out look of the PVD coating on stainless steel has been very popular with our customer looking for a modern spin on the classic Seiko Sumo look. Attached to the 45mm case is a super soft, rubber strap with steel sliding keeper, no need to worry about breaking this one.
The 4:00 o’clock crown position is a great idea and makes for more comfortable experience compared to a large 3:00 o’clock position crown.
This watch dates from the summer of 2020 and was purchased from a Canadian authorized Seiko agent.
It has been lightly worn and shows only the slightest signs of use that are only visible under extreme scrutiny. Running great, keeping good time and comes with our one year warranty. Estate priced at $750.00 CAD. Stock #501-00454.
The box link style chain has been around for many decades. They are one of the strongest designs, are difficult to kink, and suitable for use with or without a pendant. This estate 14 karat white gold rounded edge version was manufactured by the undisputed leader in high quality chain, UnoAerre Italy. Like new condition with an overall length of 28 inches with a shortening ring at 21 inches for occasions when a shorter look is more appropriate.
It is secured by a jumbo sized lobster clasp that is super easy to use with extra security. An overall weight of 10.6 grams and a width of 2.4mm gives it a substantial feel without being bulky.
White, bright, and never polished. It is in like new condition showing 100% coverage of original rhodium finish. Box links look the same from all four sides, enabling them to roll and twist, always looking perfect. As this one has rounded edges the four sides blend into each other making it more of “round” box link. Perfect condition and estate priced at $1,800.00 CAD. Stock #431-01189.
The Omega Seamaster Professional 2531.80.00 was introduced in 1993. After very obvious product placement appearances in the 1995 film Golden Eye, this model became known thereafter as the James Bond watch. The same watch appeared in several Bond movies since and to this day Omega is the preferred brand of everyone’s favorite secret agent.
The design came in two sizes with either a quartz or automatic movement. This one, the full size automatic is the one that everyone wants. Measuring 41mm diameter you can’t call this watch oversized but 33 years after its introduction it’s still the right size when compared to the many 45mm plus size watches on the market today.
It’s more than capable with a 1000 foot water resistance depth rating, heavy solid link bracelet construction, one way ratcheting timer bezel, helium escape valve, luminous hands/markers and that marvelous chronometer grade calibre 1120 movement running within.
The watch was fully serviced in March 2026 including a new crown with waterproof tube and is running better than new as this electronic Vibrograf report displays.
It was also vacuum/pressure tested and easily passed. The recent service should have it running trouble free for the next 10 years or so. This a later 1st generation example dating from 2006. Overall condition is very good. The blue anodized aluminum bezel insert is in nice shape showing only minor scuffs and one impact mark at the fifty minute position, the blue wave dial is blemish free.
10 years ago we’d get these in all the time, over the last few years they are turning up less and less in our estate department. Pricing on good condition 1st generation Bond Seamasters is now well above for what they sold for when new. Our latest 2531.80.00 comes with a substituted general issue Omega Seamaster 300 bracelet as typically seen on the black dial and electric blue dial versions of the watch.

Concord was founded in Switzerland in 1908. The brand was created to design luxury timepieces for the burgeoning affluent American market. Often their watches incorporated precious metals and gems making them more than just high quality timekeepers. In 1915 Concord started to manufacture watches for jewellery greats Tiffany, Van Cleef & Arpels, and even Cartier. It was a Concord watch that was presented to Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin by President Truman during the World War II peace talks. During the quartz watch crisis that nearly crippled the Swiss watch industry in the 1970s, Concord thrived by designing and manufacturing some of the most expensive quartz watches ever to be seen on the market.
In the 1970s and 80s their quartz technology allowed them to produce extremely thin and sleek designs; some measuring less than 2mm. Our latest estate watch is this sporty 38mm La Scala model ref: 14.C5.1891 with quartz chronograph movement. The first thing you notice on any watch is the dial, and this one doesn’t disappoint.
The easy to read silver face measures a generous 28mm and showcases a beautiful guilloché patterned dial with diamond hour markers. It’s great to see Concord decided to use only high quality single cut natural diamonds instead of brilliant cuts.
They have gone to extraordinary lengths matching the quality of the seven diamonds that grace this dial. Each one is a perfectly proportioned round 17 facet design. Single cut diamonds are almost never used in the jewellery industry any more. Most manufacturers prefer to use common 57 facet brilliant cut diamonds. Concord has kept the tradition of using only single cut diamonds on their dials for good reason. Exceptionally well cut single cut diamonds reflect light better with a more prominent flash due to the larger facet size compared to even the best small brilliant cuts.
Cutting geometry must be absolutely perfect with single cut diamonds to make them look so good. Most manufacturers use full cut diamonds as the cutting standards can be lower and still appear to match with decent if not extraordinary brilliance and dispersion.
Attached to the stainless steel water resistant case (100 feet) is the original black alligator leather strap that remains in good condition. A signed Concord locking deployment buckle is functioning perfectly. This type of buckle not only offers ease of operation but greatly extends the life of the original strap.
The precision Swiss quartz movement has a three hand display for the time, plus extra registers for the built in chronograph with lap time capability. The movement also has a time zone feature allowing rapid change of hours without affecting the minutes or seconds. The rapid hour chance can also adjust the date display forward or back. A lab-grown sapphire crystal offers perfect optics and is completely blemish free. Comes with the original inner blond wooden box (missing the pillow) and white cardboard outer box. The watch is running flawlessly and comes with our complimentary one year warranty. Estate priced at $800.00 CAD. Stock #501-00455.

From what I hear and see, purses are a thing, and I mean an expensive thing. Looking at the Hermès and Louis Vuitton website, a woman’s hand bag can easily cost $5,000.00. This adorable little pendant would make a great accessory for the lady who appreciates a finely crafted purse and/or jewellery item.
This pendant has been crafted from premium quality 18 karat Italian gold and features multiple components like a hinged handle, large bail, and a function snap-to-close lock. The closure works exactly like the full sized version but on miniature scale. This little purse measures 21.1mm wide. The backside of the pendant showcases an intricate pierced floral pattern.
This filigree detail would allow the release of fragrance from a perfumed strip of fabric inside but would leave little else in terms of practical storage room. Curiously, the Italian manufacturer selected to hand set blue, green, red, and colourless lab-grown imitation stones rather than genuine diamonds and precious gems.
I suspect that when this item was made gold traded at a fraction of its current price, adding high quality genuine gems would have pushed the price point. Now that the price of gold is over $6,000.00 Canadian per ounce, the cost of using real stones wouldn’t increase the price nearly as much, at least in terms of a percentage of total cost. This is a substantial pendant weighing just under 12 grams. It looks like new and shows no wear on any of the moving parts or joints.
We feel the top bail has been added to the handle at some point, it will accommodate a chain or cord of up to 3.6mm diameter. If you remove the bail you can run an almost any size necklace through the handle. This unique pendant can be worn on either side, front or back and is estate priced at $2,550.00 CAD.

His and hers retro Tag Heuer Sports Elegance watches. Few watches can define the look of a brand like the Tag Heuer S/el or Sports Elegance. For close to 40 years, the S/el has been the softer looking of the mostly pure sports creations from Tag Heuer. Today they are simply known as the “Link”, paying homage to the S-shaped wishbone bracelet component that is really the single most unique characteristic.
Smooth and easy to wear has always been the attraction. Even the way the links are constructed is innovative. Each link section appears solid, without a visible rivet connecting side to side and each link to the next. Unless you know the trick you’d swear these links are not adjustable for different wrist sizes. The clean rivetless look adds a sophisticated level of finish without comparison.
38 and 29mm case size is smaller by modern standards but for the 1990s these watches bridged the gap between a pure sports watch and dressy. Today these sizes are perfect for the average wrist size gentleman or a woman looking for an easy to read fun watch but not one that is over the top in proportions. An ultra reliable Swiss-made quartz movement with calendar and second hand add some utility to the design. Threaded crown/case back, rotating timer bezel and locking buckle are features this dressy model retains alongside its pure sports siblings.
These examples ref:S95.206K and WG1320-2 date from 1992 (gents) and 1998 and are both in very good condition for 30 year old watches. All the usual areas that typically display some wear display a little, more so on the ladies watch. The coin edged crown shows just the slightest wear on the men’s. Even the heavy gold plated links look good; just 2 links on the most prone area for wear and tear on the larger watch are beginning to show the stainless steel base. The ladies gold plated links are showing a few more worn areas.
The rotating bezels along with the case and bracelet display the original high polish/satin finishes.
Early S/el examples in this sort of condition don’t come around very often. The original anthracite tritium dials and hands are the very good condition.
The lab-grown sapphire crystals are both in perfect condition, not showing even the slightest scuff. Including a one year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty, these classic Tag Heuer time capsules are estate priced at $600.00 (gents) 520-00202 and $400.00 for the ladies 520-00201.
In the early 1960s NASA needed a chronograph wristwatch that was suitable for its upcoming manned space flight program. They purchased several high quality chronographs off the shelf from several local Houston jewellers. They then proceeded to subject them to rigorous testing until they eventually failed NASA’s testing (including the Rolex Daytona). The only watch that passed the arduous testing was the Omega Speedmaster. For all 6 moon landings, 88 shuttle flights, 110 missions there was only one watch that was “flight qualified by NASA for all manned space missions”.
Our latest example was only occasionally worn by an important Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers collector customer. Overall condition is practically like new, hardly a scuff or mark can be seen on the case, bracelet or crystal.
In today’s era of GPS tracking and super accurate electronic timing it’s amazing that such old fashioned manual mechanical technology is still being made. That’s how strong the tradition and legend of the Speedmaster Professional is. Even well into the 1990s this hand wind throwback from the 1950s was still the watch that was “Flight-Qualified For All Manned Space Missions” as engraved into the case back.
Although the current Moonwatch has a different style number (310.30.42.50.01.002) reflecting the newer hand wind calibre 3861, make no mistake, this is the same watch. This is the upgraded sapphire crystal version, NASA issued models came only with the plastic hesalite crystal.
Our 2017 estate watch comes with decorated version of the moon landing calibre 1861. The 1863 is the same mechanism but has been finished to a higher degree with beautiful aesthetics that can be viewed through the exhibition case back.
The current version of this classic Speedmaster Moonwatch is still available through Omega agents for $11,800.00 CAD. Comes with the extra large presentation box with watchmaker’s loupe, instructions, never installed NATO strap, large Speedmaster medallion, literature, fully endorsed warranty card Ontario agent, bi-fold box and hang tag.

Our like new estate example ref: 311.30.42.30.01.006 is estate priced at $8,200.00 CAD including a complimentary 1 year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty. Stock #510-00226.

A classic curb link chain never goes out of style. At twenty inches in length this one is suitable for a lady or thinner gentleman. Flexible links like these don’t crease and are suitable to be worn with or without a pendant. This one has been plated in rich 18 karat gold that gives it a much more yellow colour than ordinary 10 karat gold. It was made in Italy and bears an AR stamp with registered number. This hallmark indicates the chain was manufactured in Arezzo, an Italian province renowned for its gold working skill. It is of hollow construction and measures 3.5mm in width.
Although hollow it still weighs in at 5.9 grams and can be worn with a reasonable sized pendant. As usual trying to compare our price for this perfect condition chain with other vendors is impossible as virtually no other retailers will display a weight. We are happy to disclose all the information you need to determine who offers true value from those who don’t what you to compare prices. This Italian made imported chain is selling for $124.58 per gram. Any store that says “we don’t sell by weight” is trying to hide a high price. There is a little more than simply the gold content as a function of finished price but it is by far the most important factor. Our chain is in perfect condition and looks unworn, it has never been polished or refinished. The large lobster clasp is sturdy and easy to use. This curb link chain is estate priced at $735.00 CAD.

Breitling’s line of ultra-light sports watches reminds us of Tag-Heuer’s first Formula 1 watches from the 1980s. The Endurance Pro X82310 comes in almost every colour of the spectrum. The Tag Heuer F1 was an incredibly successful venture that arguably saved the financially struggling company with a lower priced mass-market sports watch. Breitling is riding a wave of success and the Endurance Pro is no low price, entry-level watch. They show a suggested retail price of $4,450.00 on the Breitling website. This price point gets you a very large composite black case measuring 44mm in diameter yet the watch only weighs 53 grams including the Breitling embossed rubber strap.
The watch was designed with athletes and adventurers in mind who don’t want to be bogged down by a bulky watch that can interfere with movement. The exact composition of what Breitling calls “Breightlight” is a company secret. This mystery material has been around for several years and appears tough and resilient under the demanding conditions you’d expect a Breitling to be subjected to.
The Breitling calibre B82 is thermally compensated and should be accurate to a second or two per month with a battery life of around 3 years. The movement features a 30-minute, 3-register chronograph with a lap timer 1/10 of a second display. In keeping with its athletic design, a heartbeat pulse calculating scale can be found on the dial’s chapter ring. For someone who likes high-tech, ultra-accurate, low maintenance, sports watches, the Endurance Pro should be considered.
An anti-reflective coated, sapphire crystal allows easy time interpretation of all the dial information. Bright luminous hands and hour markers allow simple time interpretation day or night.
Instead of a ratcheting timer bezel, which is made somewhat redundant by the chronograph feature, the Endurance Pro comes with a rotating compass heading bezel. The compass heading allows direction calculation in collaboration with the analog hour hand. Instead of the typical tachymeter scale on the chapter ring, the Endurance Pro features a heartbeat scale calculator.
This watch has been worn for a couple of years. It shows some scuffs to the case and a few scratches across the anti-reflective film that covers the much harder sapphire crystal underneath. The AR coating isn’t to difficult to remove if you wish. We noticed a little dirt in some of the white bezel index markers after these photos were taken. The bezel has since been ultrasonically cleaned and looks great. It comes complete with all documentation, packaging, and warranty card. We are including a complimentary 1-year warranty. Estate priced at $3,000.00 CAD. Stock #515-00126.
Since the brief all time highs gold and silver experienced early in 2026, precious metals have taken a break. Silver has come off 50% from its January high, yet it is up more than 50% since last August! Gold on the other hand has been much less volatile; it is around 25% lower since January 2026 but still up more than 20% since last August. These two small Toronto Dominion Bank 1 gram bars are a fun way to buy a little bullion and see what happens.
Each one represents 0.03215% of a troy ounce. That may not sound like much but at today’s gold price (August 1st, 2026) that equals more than $182.00 Canadian in gold content. Fractional gold bullion like this seems to sell out of our displays as quickly as we put it in. We usually have none available and looking online it seems many bullion dealers are the same, showing little to no gold bullion in smaller sizes.
Valuable, easy to store, very liquid, and in demand; fine gold like this make great little gifts. Fine silver and gold bullion are not subject to sales tax. We are offering these one gram bars as a set of two only. They are priced at the current gold price plus 10% with no sales tax added. Stock number 912-01138.

Despite the immense variety of watches available, the vast majority can be classified into two categories: either automatic or quartz. Automatic watches run on mechanically stored spring energy generated by the movement of the wrist which winds the mainspring and then slowly releases power at a steady rate to the hands. Automatic watches do not rely on a stored electrical power supply (battery or capacitor) and only require the occasional service. An exceptionally well-tuned, high-end, fully adjusted, automatic watch can keep time accurate time to +/- a few seconds per day.
Quartz watches instead rely on a quartz crystal to regulate keep timekeeping. When electricity passes through a quartz crystal it vibrates at a very consistent frequency. In most quartz watches, the crystal will vibrate exactly 32,768 times per second. This consistency allows the watch to keep time to an accuracy rate of only a second or two per month! The downside of quartz watches is they need a battery or other electric power supply to move the hands. The Seiko “Spring Drive” movement takes the best aspects of both types of watches, using their “Tri-Synchro Regulator” technology.
Like an automatic watch, its power comes entirely by the motion of the wearer’s wrist in the form of stored spring tension that is slowly released. However, instead of powering a traditional balance wheel releasing power through a series of wheels and gears to the hands; the energy stored in the mainspring is used to power a tiny generator producing continuous electric current. The electrical current first powers a quartz crystal, keeping time much more precisely than any mechanical balance wheel oscillating 4000 times slower ever could. The watch then compares the frequency of the quartz crystal with that of the spring drive glide wheel and uses the excess current to apply a frictionless electromagnetic brake on the wheel to regulate its speed. The brake keeps the wheel perpetually spinning at a precise rate as determined by the quartz crystal. No battery to replace, and no rechargeable capacitor to fail as with every other quartz watch including solar-powered watches. Fully wound the mainspring can supply the generator three full days of power. A discreet power reserve gauge at the 7:00 o’clock displays remaining power but it doesn’t interfere with the more important time keeping display.
You get the best of both worlds: the accuracy of quartz watches with the convenience/reliability of an automatic watch. There truly is no other watch in the world that even comes close to this level of ingenuity. As an added bonus the seconds hand sweeps with a continuous fluid motion smoother than anything else. This innovative technology is hypnotic and soothing when seen in person. Our newest Seiko Prospex Spring Drive is this black titanium ref: SNR027J1. It was purchased in July 2025 in Ontario at a Canadian Authorized agent and benefits from the factory warranty until mid July 2028.
It shows like new old stock, only the black leather strap shows signs of use from flexing and bending around a wrist. There is still a protective sticker on the case back and buckle.
The second 24-hour hand adds extra visual interest and ties in well with the stealthy black on black look of this purposeful watch. The large case measures 44.8mm diameter by caliper and weighs only 107 grams complete with strap and deployment buckle.
Instead of a traditional timer bezel, this watch comes with a rotating compass heading bezel. Dual time capability, and water-resistance to a rating of over 600 feet make this watch the perfect tool for the world traveler who wants to wear their watch for any activity, day on night.
Comes complete with all original documents, packaging, tags, and inner/outer boxes. This model is a genuine rarity, you don’t see this reference turn up very often. Seiko recently retired this but but there are still some new ones available online through Seiko agents priced at $7,500.00. Our estate price for this like new Seiko spring drive GMT is $4,000.00 CAD. Stock #501-00421.

Many of the custom rings we’ve been asked to create these days showcase long diamonds. Elongated cushion cuts, emerald cuts, and ovals are especially popular choices. Here is another traditional fancy shape than showcases a long length to width ratio. Marquise cuts like this one are perhaps the most dramatic fancy shape, sometimes featuring a length two times as long as the width. This vintage example is still quite slender with a L/W ratio of 1.83:1.
We feel this ring is likely around forty years old showcasing twelve high-quality large round single cut diamonds in addition to the marquise. Every diamond in this ring is an easy VS-G quality. Even in the 80s, a marquise cluster like this would have been uncommon. The halo of single cut diamonds show off brilliance more effectively than an equivalent sized full cut stone. The diamonds are set so closely together that the 13 stones appear as one large stone measuring 10.0mm x 6.4mm. They are set in rhodium enhanced white gold showing no wear.
The cathedral shoulder setting has a thin flat shank measuring 2.9mm at the shoulder. Measuring a finger size 7, this ring can easily be made larger or smaller by one of our onsite goldsmiths. Very pretty, like new condition, and estate priced at just $700.00 CAD. Stock #101-00711.
If you have the means and the priority, Rolex makes a watch for every man and every woman. Traditional Rolex watches are robustly made from the best components available and are considered the most reliable of any Swiss-made watch. The basic styles are suitable for almost any activity you may subject them to. There are however a few watches within the Rolex model line that have been engineered for use during some very specialized tasks.
These models are known within Rolex circles as professionals. The Sea-Dweller comes to mind as a purpose-built professional diving tool that is water-tight to depths of 12,800 feet and comes with an automatic helium escape valve. Our featured professional Rolex is this black dial Milgauss. This is perhaps an even more specialized piece of equipment.
The original Milgauss was introduced in 1956 as an answer to problems encountered when mechanical watches were exposed to strong magnetic fields. The introduction of the Milgauss allowed scientists to wear a watch while working in environments with extreme magnetic fields. Without magnetic protection, performing your job in strong magnetic fields would render a regular watch useless or unreliable at best. Rolex has gone to extraordinary measures in order to shield the calibre 3131 from the effects of magnetism. A special inner liner inside the Oyster case made from a proprietary Rolex blend of metals keeps the movement running within chronometer specifications even under extreme magnetic field conditions.
Our latest example is in very good condition and still sports an original protective sticker on the case-back and an on an extra link from its original delivery in 2009, at a Toronto authorized agent.
It does display signs of use with scratches, and scuffs, to the case and bracelet, but appears to be still in unpolished condition. The sporty polished/brushed Oyster link bracelet with easy link extension shows net to no stretch or sag.
A light polish/refinishing would have it looking practically new if you choose, but as always we’d like to leave that decision up to the next owner.
It is running great and keeping excellent time. The black dial, orange lightning bolt second hand, and tinted green sapphire crystal make this an unmistakable model, to say the least. When the light grows dim the Milgauss’ luminous hands and oversized markers strongly glow making excellent nighttime legibility.
The entire Milgauss line was recently retired from production making good condition all original examples particularly attractive to collectors, especially the GV examples with a tinted green lab-grown sapphire crystal like this one. A complimentary one-year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty is also included with purchase. Comes complete with original inner/outer boxes, instruction booklet endorsed dated warranty card, product hang tag with matching serial number, chronometer tag, extra link with plastic sticker still attached, and previous 2012 bill of sale. Our estate price for this collectible Milgauss is $12,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00675.

Different strokes for different folks I guess. Personally, it’s hard for me to understand but believe it or not there are some people out there that have zero interest in a nice watch or a great piece of jewellery. I realize luxury items are not basic necessities of life like food or shelter, but they sure have an effect on how you feel. Being confident and feeling good are certain to produce positive results in your life. The shine of a beautifully cut diamond ring sparkling in the sunshine; watching the smooth fluid motion of a finely tuned mechanical watch leave many with a strong sense of pride. It’s a feeling that’s hard to describe to those who don’t understand. For some, maybe a well tailored suit does the trick, a clean and shiny car might work, or maybe a beautiful new dress and fresh hair style produce similar results.
This late 2009 Rolex Datejust II should bring that feeling to next owner who has been thinking of a luxury watch. It was delivered to a Canadian authorized agent in December of 2009 and worn off and on by the previous owner.
It displays minor wear in the form of light scuffs and scratches on the case and bracelet, with slight softening of the sharp edges on the solid 18 karat white gold fluted bezel.
The Datejust II is a more contemporary 41mm diameter version of the traditional 36mm Datejust size. The larger size is what consumers have been asking of Rolex for quite some time. The more sporty oyster bracelet should appeal to someone looking for a simple, functional look. The locking buckle is equipped with a hidden extension link allowing 5mm extra room for those hot and humid days.
Our model 116234 comes with the upgraded 18 karat white gold bezel and uncommon factory applied diamond hour markers providing some subtle extra bling. It has some extra sparkle but the tone of tone combination is still subtle and sophisticated. This model has been retired and replaced with a slightly softened Datejust 41 with thinner lugs and a thinner bezel. The replacement model (126334) comes with a Canadian retail price of $16,350.00. With speculation of Canadian price increase coming, our price of $14,500.00 should have this watch on the wrist of a new owner in no time. This Rolex comes with our complimentary 1-year warranty, the original box and fully endorsed Canadian warranty card. Stock #505-00565.
You gotta see them in person before you dismiss the I1-I2 clarity grade. They are a bright “I” colour, have a good cut averaging 4.9mm diameter, and both with grade setting inclusions that do little to diminish the transparency. Each earring has a few inclusions that establish the grade, but the majority of the diamonds are quite clean internally. In our most revealing display of darkfield magnification they’re easy to see but in reality you’d be hard pressed to find a brighter looking pair of this size for anywhere near $1,000.00.
To call them an I2 is being a little unfair, but we’d always prefer to under promise and over deliver. These are also completely natural diamonds without any type of artificial enhancements.
The diamonds have been hand set in 14 karat white gold four prong crown settings. They are secured by snug fitting butterfly friction backs. Estate priced at $960.00 CAD. Stock #151-00418
When the platinum and stainless steel Yacht-Master debuted they were only available by getting on a waiting list or paying far more than retail for a used one. Things have changed somewhat since the Covid chaos of a few years ago. Just like housing prices, things have calmed down somewhat and you can pick up great examples of some sporty Rolex models for less than retail now. The current 6 digit reference Yacht-Masters with platinum bezels have a retail price of $16,700.00 with a painted rhodium dial. If you want the original platinum dial version, the secondary market is the only place you’ll find one as this dial with the red second hand has been retired.
The dial on this Yacht-Master is not pretty silver paint, this dial is actually made from platinum with a subtle sandblasted finish that would be impossible to duplicate on a simple a painted surface. Current model Yacht-Masters are seldom seen on the shelves of Rolex agents and excellent condition retired examples like this are also rarely seen on the secondary market, at least around here.
The Yacht-Master is the only Rolex current model that offer a handy 2-way timer bezel timer indexed for 60 minutes. The simple device easily allows the user to keep track of any event of up to one-hour duration with about 30 seconds accuracy. Parking meters, lunch hours, and maybe the perfectly timed steak are just a few things this bezel could be used for. The 40mm watch is equipped with the famous Rolex Triplock crown, oyster case water resistant to 300 feet and bright luminous hands/markers for easy reading in the dark.
The case and bracelet look like new showing virtually no scratches, the fiendishly difficult to refinish/polish platinum bezel looks practically brand new too.
The polished/brushed finished oyster bracelet perfect, showing no sag or stretch.
Hidden under the locking buckle is a micro adjustment “EasyLink” that can be deployed allowing an extra 5mm of room for those days when a bit more room is needed.
Professional models are what every Rolex customer is looking for; a discontinued model in excellent condition is something every Rolex aficionado/collector is looking for. The Yacht-Master comes with its Rolex box (no original documents) and a complimentary 1 year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty is included for the estate price of $15,500.00 CAD. Stock #505-00527.

The Tudor Pelagos FXD GMT is one of those models that is not likely going to be your only watch, but for owners with a small or large collection it’s likely to become a favorite. This is a watch offers great utility, comfort, and a look that is hard to miss. The titanium case while large at 42mm is surprisingly light at under 80 grams including the green nylon strap with complimentary titanium buckle.
It also has a fairly thin case at just under 13mm making for a very comfortable fit. Powering the FXD GMT is the inhouse developed MT5652-U automatic movement. The U designation meaning if conforms to “METAS Master Chronometer certification” and features a long 70 hour power reserve, plus the independently adjustable orange 24 hour hand.
It’s more of a pilots watch but still comes with a useful 200 meter water resistance rating. In the dark this watch really shows off with both green and blue luminous pigment liberally applied to every possible index. The 12 hour markings all glow a soft blue hue while the 24 hour indexing radiate green.
This model debuted in late 2024 and this is a very early public release example that was delivered in Canada at an authorized Tudor agent in December 2024.
It has never been worn and remains in new condition, complete with delivery stickers on both sides of the case.
It also comes with an extra OEM Tudor NATO style black strap with gold stripe.
The extra accessory strap blends great with the soft tan patina of the hour plots and hands. This watch comes with all of its original documentation, identification tag, inner/outer boxes, the extra Tudor strap, and even a copy of the original dealer invoice. This is a current Tudor model and can be seen on their website where it carries a retail price of $5,930.00. Our never worn estate example comes with the balance of Tudor’s 5 year international warrant, covering the next owner until the end of 2029. It is estate priced at $5,500.00 CAD. Stock #505-00609.
Natural diamond stud earrings are always good sellers in our estate department, but a drop style ups the visual impact with a more dramatic look. This like new pair of French back drops has been made from premium 18 karat white gold that should be safe for even the most sensitive of ears. The spring loaded hinges wrap around the wire post with a good amount of tension and security.
The thin wire makes for comfortable wear and no sharp post that can stab. Each of the major diamonds measures 5.35mm diameter and are estimated to weigh 0.58 carats a piece. One diamond is an I1 clarity with I colour and the other is SI2-I with just a slight haze and blue fluorescence when exposed to invisible ultraviolet weight. The previous owner who traded these in never noticed these minor characteristics and the little anomalies are inconsequential when there is a pretty face between them.
Fourteen tiny accent natural diamonds run up the earrings and are set very close together adding additional sparkle plus 0.11 carats in weight. These earrings are in new condition, they show no signs of wear, the bright rhodium plating is completely intact. At 16mm in length the drops add flattering slender length to a the basic diamond stud concept. This set is estate priced at $1,800.00 CAD. Stock #151-00417.

What’s with the name Datejust? Most people have no idea of how this somewhat awkward name came to be identified with one of the most popular watches ever made by Rolex. The Datejust debuted as part of the 40th anniversary of the brand in 1945. As with so many other industry firsts, the Rolex Datejust was the first automatic chronometer rated watch to display the day of the month in a small cut out window on the dial.
That’s explains the “Date” part of the name. The “Just” suffix can also be considered a first. While most calendar date displays change over the display slowly usually starting around 10:00pm and lasting several hours; the Datejust changes precisely at midnight making date “just” or precise and absolute. Rolex performed some innovative and clever engineering in order to achieve this seemingly simple feat. For most of the past 7 decades or so the Datejust has measured 36mm in diameter.
In 2009 Rolex finally released a larger size. At 41mm diameter it’s quite a bit bigger. This larger size was a welcomed addition for those people looking for a more contemporary style. Compared to the standard size Datejust the difference is unmistakable.
Our Datejust 41 126333 is in almost perfect condition, showing only the slightest evidence of very rare occasional use by a very conscientious collector owner. Purchased through a Canadian authorized agent in The spring of 2023 the watch comes complete with all its original packaging, instructions, full compliment of adjusting links and balance of warranty good until June 2028.
The slightly less common white dial with large luminous hash mark hour markers is the epitome of legibility in all lighting conditions.
For over 80 years the Datejust has remained true to the original design and with the larger updated case size it’s poised to be a popular choice for another 80. Even though watches are no longer the necessity they once were, watches like this are so much more than just a tool to display the time. It is in lightly worn condition, showing only a few minor scuffs and light scratches that can easily be removed. Reference 126333 is a current offering from Rolex and can be seen on their website with a price of $21,500.00. This watch looks practically like new, comes with factory warranty valid until June 2028 and is priced $3,000.00 less than new at $18,500.00 CAD. Stock #505-00505.
For an explosion of spectral colours, its hard to beat a big mystic topaz fantasy cut stone. Most natural topaz form colourless until a ultra thin metallic film is applied to the pavilion (bottom) of the faceted gem. The titanium film causes interference colours shifting from blue, violet, orange, magenta and green when the stone is moved.
The treatment has been around since the late 1990s and is stable unless aggressively polished of excessively heated from a jewellers torch or similar. Everyday wear and the occasional cleaning with common jewellery cleaner and a soft brush will not harm the coating. Topaz itself is quite hard making it a great choice for many types of jewellery. This is a big one measuring 22.1mm x 17.0mm x 11.6mm.
We’ve calculated the topaz to weigh approximately 34 carats. It is set in a simple white gold double gallery setting made from heavy gauge 14 karat white gold.
The gross weight of 8.4 grams leaves about 1.6 grams of 14 karat. The pendant is suspended from a large hinged bail that will fit a good sized chain or cord necklace. The hinge allows extra movement to the kaleidoscope looking gem.
The fantasy cut is created by using concave facets instead of flat surfaces that distort the reflections like a lens, making the stone appear infinitely deep. In terms of overall optical impact verses money spent, I can’t think of another gem that even comes close. The pendant is in perfect condition and looks unworn. There is zero evidence of any wear, it has never been polished or refinished. Estate priced at $420.00 CAD. Stock #231-00458.

Many of our most fashionable customers are asking for small vintage watches and cocktail timepieces. Finding high quality ladies watches from the significant Swiss brands is getting more difficult with each passing year. We were so excited when this simple, high quality Omega turned up in our estate department.
The 1950s and 60s saw the emergence of electronic technology in many consumer and household products. It also allowed for the miniaturization of things like simple AM radios. At one time they were a piece of furniture occupying an entire corner of a living room. The 1950s saw the size reduced to that of a paperback novel including the batteries. Watchmaking efficiency and fashions of the day also lead to the production of highly accurate yet tiny mechanical movements, but not yet electronic. It was another 20 years before electronic watch movements could be produced as small as this watch. Our 1963 Omega is a great example of a tiny but highly evolved lady’s wristwatch.
The Omega developed and in-house manufactured 17 jewel calibre 483 hand-wind movement measures just 15.5mm x 12.5mm x 3.1mm.
Its 21 lab-grown ruby jewels help to reduce friction and wear throughout the gear train allowing this movement remarkable accuracy. It comes with shock protection and a rather long 42 hour power reserve from a full wind. The premium 18 karat yellow gold case with plastic crystal weighs 5.1 grams (without movement). The simple silver dial shows a touch of champagne patina over the linen finish.
An hour hand, minute hand and applied hash marks are as basic as it gets for simple effective time interpretation. Fitted to the watch is a brand new 8mm genuine lizard leather strap by Hirsch with a gold plated buckle.
The fancy leather grain and simple look is very classy. The watch is running well and keeping good time. Comes with the original dated and signed warranty booklet, we almost never see original papers with a vintage ladies watch.
Dated 17th January 1964 in Duisburg Germany and endorsed by the original selling agent.
Included with purchase is a complimentary 1-year warranty and free first service, whenever needed. Estate priced at $1,500.00 CAD. Stock #510-00255.
Premium jewellery without the premium price, our estate jewellery customers know where to find it. I hate to admit it but when 18 karat gold jewellery gets too heavy we sometimes end up recycling it. It’s not because it is worn out, damaged, or too heavy to be comfortable; it’s because just the value in gold content prices it out of reach to many. With the price of gold at $5,760.00 Canadian today (July 27, 2026), every gram of 18 karat contains exactly $138.90 in just raw gold content, not to mention the value of fine silver alloy.
Imagine the price of a heavy weight gents bracelet of 100 grams or so; at almost $14,000.00 in just gold content, how much market is there? Twenty years ago 100 grams of 18 karat gold was worth only $1,720.00, how things have changed. With smaller items made from premium 18 karat gold the price isn’t out of reach and the value is easy to recognize. This cute pair of yellow and white gold drop earrings weigh just a touch over 2 grams, measure just shy of 1 1/4 inches, and contain a small 0.015 carat single cut natural diamond of VS-I quality.
They are suspended from a two-tone French back with hinged joint allowing the drop to swing freely. The white gold sandblasted bottom setting displays strong contrast to the rich yellow gold showing off a bit of bling.
The hinge shows zero wear and the 18 karat white gold wire lock provides a better spring than yellow gold offering more security. This modern looking diamond drop earrings are estate priced $510.00 CAD. Stock #151-00416.
A Rolex Datejust isn’t exactly a rare model but when it comes with the unusual tapestry dial it’s time to pay attention. For a watch that is over 45 years old this example is in very good shape. The bracelet shows stretch and sag but the fluted bezel is showing just at slightly softened edge to the fluting. These vintage Jubilee bracelets get more comfortable with age as the links wear into each other. While the sag looks severe, there are many decades of use left in this bracelet. Have the bracelet professionally ultrasonically cleaned once a year and you’ll greatly reduced future wear.

A 36mm diameter case is suitable for a man looking for a “regular” sized watch or a woman looking for a slightly larger size.
The tapestry dial is a seldom seen option that integrates especially well with the dressier jubilee bracelet. The striped dial is created by embossing a corrugated texture across the surface creating little hills and valleys.
This treatment causes shadows to form across the dial when the watch is moved with a striking effect. It’s surprising these dials weren’t a more popular option when this watch was new. Current replacement model is the 36mm Datejust 126233 that comes with a price of $20,200.00 CAD, but sadly you can’t get it with a tapestry dial anymore. This watch was serviced by us in 2022 and worn responsibly by the previous owner, who recently traded it in for a Submariner.
Including a complementary Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers one year warranty the watch is estate priced at $8,500.00 CAD. Stock 505-00217.

The trouble with most flat chain is they are made too flimsy and easily kink. Once they are creased you can’t repair them without seeing where they were damaged. The repaired section also becomes stiff and never perfectly blends in the delicate pattern. In this world of higher gold prices, chances are you’ll not see many flat chains like this one that weighs in at a substantial 18.6 grams. Estate jewellery like this offers a great way to get higher quality at a waaaaaaay lower price. At only $112.90 per gram this chain might be one of the best values around. New chain of this style easily sells for at least $180.00 per gram (and that’s well priced). This herringbone necklace measures 6.6 wide and is a versatile 20 inches long.
It also has a better than expected thickness of 0.6mm resulting in better durability and a feeling of luxury a flimsy light chain can’t match. It is expertly finished with sturdy chain ends and a large lobster clasp. It is in excellent condition showing no wear and tear in any section. These necklaces have been very popular with our customers looking for the ribbon of gold look. The flat surface with bevelled edges does a fantastic job of catching and reflecting light. Estate priced at $2,100.00 CAD. Stock #431-01184.

Anyone who’s been chasing a Rolex Daytona for a while knows how expensive they’ve become. They have always been costly but today they are truly becoming almost unobtainable for the average watch enthusiast. A basic stainless steel example is going to cost you well over $20,000.00 on the secondary market, and that’s not for a complete or really nice example. A Tudor chronograph makes a very compelling alternative, especially considering they are selling for more than 75% less. Tudor and Rolex are sister companies but manufacture different watches. Tudor chronographs look pretty much the same as Rolex, they have the same functions plus more utility and they also have a useful calendar display at the 6 o’clock position.
There has never been a Rolex Daytona to feature luminous hands and markers that are anywhere near as effective as those found on this watch.
Searching “Tudor Chronograph” on a popular preowned watch re-selling website reveals 361 for sale. Searching “Rolex Daytona” on the same website results in just shy of 10,000 for sale, you can’t tell me a Daytona is a rare watch. Our latest estate watch is this current model Black Bay chronograph 79360N “Panda”. The Black Bay line of Tudor sports watches has been widely successful and now incorporates chronograph equipped models like this. While this watch is first and foremost a chronograph it is more than capable as a watch you can wear in the water. Thanks to its screw-on case back, screw-down crown, and screw-down pushers, Tudor has given this watch a water-resistance rating of 200 meters (100 meters more than the Daytona). Powering the watch is a slightly modified and decorated Breitling B-01 movement. The B-01 is Breitling’s most advanced chronograph movement and offers unmatched performance at this price range.
The Tudor/Breitling collaboration goes back to 2017 when the 2 companies agreed to share movements as a means of gaining independence from Swatch Group movement manufacturer Valjoux and ETA. With reduced development costs, Tudor and Breitling are now offering watches with features few can compete with at this price point. This watch was purchased in the fall of 2024 and was only lightly worn.
It remains in its original unpolished condition. There are only inconspicuous scuffs and scratches to the case, bracelet, and bezel, the sharp crisp edges are still fully intact on the lugs.
It has never been polished, refinished, or touched up in any way. The latest “N” versions of the Black Bay chronographs feature a super hard and tough ceramic bezel insert with silver indexes. The new ceramic bezels are much easier to read than the previous stainless steel bezel models.
It comes with its inner/outer boxes, documents, warranty card, and hang tag. The next owner will assume the balance of the factory’s 5-year warranty until November 2028. This new model Tudor chrono is a current offering from Tudor and can be seen on their website with a retail price of $8,720.00. Our lightly worn estate example can be purchased for 32% less. Duty free, tariff free and estate priced at $5,900.00 CAD. Stock #505-00583.

A vintage Movado wrist watch is an uncommon sight around here. An early automatic Movado from the early 1950s is a genuine rarity, especially one in this sort of condition. Movado patented an in-house developed automatic movement in 1943 and marketed it as the Tempomatic a few years later in 1945. They were positioned as a upscale product in the lineup.
The 17 jewel calibre C.266 bumper movement was entirely produced in Movado’s factories. These movements are unusual as the winding weight oscillates between two coiled “bumper” springs through approximately 120 degrees, instead of a full 360 degrees as seen on vintage Rolex and modern automatic winding movements.
This bumper technology was a clever way around a Rolex patent that protected their 360 degree technology. At over 75 years old this watch is in remarkable condition. The silvery dial remains stain free with only a small scratch halfway between the centre of the dial and three o’clock position.
The raised gold hour markers show only a touch of patina under the lacquer finish. Original text is perfect along with the chapter ring minute track divided into fifths of a second.
The curious seconds hand with lightning bolt tail is something we’ve not seen before. We can’t say with 100% certainty it’s original, but since this watch appears to have seen little use and wasn’t used for decades we feel it is. The same can be said about the unusual case. It measures 35mm in diameter and showcases beautiful fluted lugs.
After googling around looking for comparisons, this is another feature we haven’t been able to see on any other Tempomatic. After sitting for multiple decades the watch was no longer working when we received it. After a complete overhaul by our watchmaker, fitting a new period correct colour Hirsch leather strap, the watch is running great and ready for another 75 years.
This is the first Tempomatic we’ve ever had in stock and this early 50s example is a genuine rarity. We are including a one year warranty for the next owner. Estate priced at $3,000.00. Stock #501-00452.

If you love watches and are of a certain age you should have fond memories of the original Formula 1 by Tag Heuer. In 1983 the game changing Swatch Watch debuted. These inexpensive Swiss made watches offered accurate, reliable, and above all, fun colourful timekeeping for the masses. Gen X kids with $50.00 cold buy anything in the Swatch lineup. After the success of the Swatch watch a new series of Tag Heuer watches appeared in dealer showcases in 1986.
The Tag Heuer Formula 1 added history, cachet, durability and added functionality to the Swatch’s winning formula. The thick hardened glass crystal of the Tag, stainless steel screw on case back, and protected crown, were far superior to the Swatch. Luminous hands, one-way timer bezel, serviceability and a water resistance rating of 200 meters were also well above Swatch specification.
Our latest estate watch is this very rare example with dayglow pink hands and dial chapter ring. This is one of the least encountered versions of the 1st generation full stainless steel case F1s. The bright pink highlights of these watches are usually quite faded out after more than 30 years. This one looks almost like new. We tried finding a new OEM black bezel with pink numerals but they haven’t been available for years.
The black with white numbers is the closest Tag-Heuer could supply and it looks great. We also installed a new crystal, nylon crystal gasket, battery, case/bracelet cleaning, and case back gasket to get this watch up and running after sitting unused for many years.
The flexible Rolex Jubilee style stainless steel bracelet was a pricey upgrade over the black rubber strap base model adding around $150.00 the the cost. The solid link construction is quite good and gives the watch a more luxurious look and feel. A diver extension and flip lock buckle add even more utility to these iconic Formula 1 models.
The newest Formula 1 models from Tag Heuer look very much like these originals. Even the colour choices seem to have been inspired by some of the 90s versions. The newest 38mm black/pink F1 is shown on Tag’s website with a retail price of $2,400.00. Ours is for the ladies only given its smaller 28.5mm case diameter. It is in remarkable condition for being 33 years old.
It is running great, keeping excellent time and comes with our 1-year warranty. This rare Tag Heuer is estate priced at $700.00 CAD. Stock #520-00175.

The first Rolex Explorer II (model 1655) was pretty much a commercial disaster. It was marketed as a specialty watch for those interested in spelunking (cave exploration). In the 1950s and 60s, this activity was actually becoming somewhat popular. The original Explorer II had two hours hands and a fixed bezel indexed for 24 hours. The smaller, skinny hour hand would circle the dial every 12 hours, while the dominant hour hand took a full 24 hours to go around the black dial, which was the only colour offered. The theory was, in the absolute darkness of a cave the only way to determine AM hours from PM hours would be by referencing the dominant 24-hour hand. The oversized 24-hour hand was treated to an extra-large dose of luminous tritium making it the obvious feature in a no light situation. Unlike the rotating bezel of a Submariner that can be used as a minute timer and the GMT-Master bezel that displayed a second time zone, the Explorer II bezel is fixed in place.
It can only show the current time albeit in a 24-hour format. The vintage looking first generation Explorer II didn’t sell in large numbers, today they are expensive collectibles with prices starting around $30,000.00. Production of the originals ran from 1971 to 1984. Our latest estate Rolex is a very early 2nd generation example from 1986. The 16550 features an entirely new larger case, sapphire crystal, white gold framed hour markers, a white dial option, and a new caliber 3085 movement. The new movement enables the user to independently adjust the 24-hour hand to display a second time zone. This feature set the Explorer II free from the depths of just cave exploration to the world of jet travel with a dual time zone display capability. The 16550 was only produced from 1985 until 1989 making it a relatively scarce transition model. I think this is the first one we have ever had. If you come across a Rolex that looks like this, chances are it is the much more common 16570 produced from 1989 until 2011. Aside from a few minor movement differences, the only way to distinguish a 16550 from the common 16570 is, the 16550 (2nd image) has a thicker numeral font, horizontal middle sections on the 2s, and triangle indexes are a little longer.
It’s always fun to discover the tiniest changes that Rolex implemented into their watches as they evolved. At some point over the past 35 years, the original tritium dial was replaced with a more modern luminova version. The purist collector will always prefer complete originality. Many of the original dials on 16550 Explorer IIs have been updated (especially the white versions) as the paint shifted to a creamy color, while the paint on the black dials often cracked. The newer replacement dial on our 16550 offers an obvious advantage of still exhibiting phosphorescence after exposure to bright light.
Original tritium dials lose their ability to glow after around 25 years. Our Explorer II is in fair overall condition, showing sag, stretch and wear in the 11 link 78360 Oyster bracelet with service buckle.
The synthetic sapphire service crystal shows a small scratch but otherwise displays perfect optics over the glossy black dial. The previous owner spiced up the look of this 38-year-old classic by installing a Swiss made Rubber B strap with a thin red pin stripe running down the centre.
This strap is specifically made for the Explorer II and fits the unique case profile and uses the original Rolex buckle, giving it a factory looking fit. Including a complimentary 1-year warranty prorated for 5 years, this uncommon Explorer II is estate priced at $8,790.00 CAD. Stock #505-00128.
For a pretty pair of fun sparkling summertime earrings, it’s pretty hard to beat the sky blue colour of these topaz. The gems measure just under 6mm x 6mm and are estimated to weigh 1.00 carat each. The checkerboard facet pattern offers a modern look and does a great job of scattering reflections in a sparkling display.
The simple double gallery settings are made from 10 karat white gold and weigh 0.97 grams (including the blue topaz). The wire posts are secured by snug fitting 14 karat white gold butterfly backs weighing 0.13 grams.

Non current “Valjoux” era Breitling Avenger watches are one of the great values on the secondary market these days. For a little over $3,000.00, you get a chronometer rated chronograph mechanical watch from one of the top Swiss brands. You also get a sport watch with features like a threaded case-back and crown, one-way bezel timer, dome profile lab-grown sapphire crystal with effective anti-reflective coatings, luminous hands/markers, plus a high quality leather strap with deployment buckle.
It’s hard to put a value on aesthetic components like the attractive reverse panda dial with applied Arabic hour makers, brushed and polished finishes, but collectively they contribute to a very attractive presentation. If you have a large wrist or just like the look and feel of a big watch, this one is worth checking out. Since the introduction the B01 in-house developed mechanism in 2009 a Valjoux equipped Breitling seems like an absolute bargain. The least expensive Breitling Avenger currently shown on their website is reference AB0147101 that comes with a price of $8,950.00 (also available in green or camel). This is an apples to oranges comparison, but remember when Rolex stopped using Valjoux movements for the Daytona in the late 1980s? Those vintage Daytona watches from the 1970s and 1980s now command prices of around $100,000.00 or more! That isn’t going to happen to a Valjoux 7750 equipped Breitling but you do get a more than capable movement.
The 7750 is durable, has long service intervals, certified chronometer accuracy, a mechanism that is easy to get parts for, and one that all decent watchmakers are familiar with. Our Panda dial reference A13370 measures a touch over 48mm and is in good condition showing some scuffs and scratches on some of the polished areas and flat sections.
We’d be happy to polish away these minor blemishes if you wish. The genuine Breitling calf strap with deployment buckle was installed in May 2025 and has seen only light use since.
The watch is running great with all functions operating as designed. Including our one year warranty, this watch is priced at $3,200.00 CAD. Stock #515-00101.

There are many ways to secure a diamond into a setting that is both flattering to the stone and insures it stays put. The prong setting is the most common, its ability to hold a range of sizes makes it a popular choice for manufactures. Bezel settings are the most secure but they will only fit a very specific size of stone. The completely enclosed nature of a bezel compromises the sparkle and brilliance to a small degree. We’ve seen this hybrid cup setting a few times before and I must say, for smaller diamonds this design really shows them off well. Only two tiny claws touch the diamond leaving an uninterrupted view of the rest is the stone. The concave inner surface with highly reflective rhodium finish focuses extra light from behind.
Being slightly wider than the actual diamond the “cup” setting appears to enhance the diamonds size. Just looking at this setting you’d swear this diamond is much larger than 0.20 carats. The diamond itself measures 3.85mm diameter and is estimated to weigh 0.20 carat. It is a bright G colour, eye clean SI1 clarity, and an excellent cut.
This is a Canadian diamond with a laser etched serial number on the girdle.
This specific registered identification number has also been laser etched on the back of the 14 karat white gold setting. The petite setting weighs 0.46 grams and features a good sized bail than can accommodate a chain close to 3.5mm wide. Our estate pendant does not come with a chain, we have many new and estate necklaces that will suit the pendant if you need one. We are showing the pendant on an 18 karat, white gold, 2.94 gram, 17 inch Tiffany necklace. If you’re interested in this necklace it is available separately for $780.00. The pendant setting shows next to no wear on the bail but does display scuffs and scratches from likely rubbing against other jewellery. These minor blemishes can be polished away while you wait. This beautiful Canadian natural diamond pendant is estate priced at just $390.00 CAD. Stock #161-00408.
As Tag Heuer’s Sports Elegance S/el models of the 80s and 90s evolved into the Link series of watches, some of them became very beautiful jewellery creations. Reference WAT1414 makes a very durable everyday watch but an even better everyday piece of jewellery. The sparkling diamond bezel and dial supply plenty of bling that you can wear without being worried. The bezel diamonds are expertly French set in tough durable stainless steel for carefree use and peace of mind.
At the same time be careful not to accidentally brush the watch across a glass window or you many leave a nasty scratch but the watch will be fine. The clean white dial is a miniature work of art all on its own. Eleven tiny diamonds secured in square prong settings plot out the hours and contribute additional sparkle. All totalled the 58 natural diamonds weigh 0.60 carats and are of very high VS-F quality. The silver white dial showcases a subtle Guilloché pattern that goes unnoticed until you have a careful look at the face.
Three hands and a tiny calendar provide some extra utility many pure dress watches will lack. The stylish Link bracelet is integrated into the case removing the need for bulky lugs, enhancing the sophisticated look. The namesake bracelet is secured by a locking butterfly buckle that incorporates into the bracelet with an uninterrupted pattern.
A completely highly polished finish is easy to maintain and confirms that this watch is a much a jewellery item as it is a luxury Swiss timepiece. It is keeping excellent time thanks to its highly accurate and ultra-low maintenance Swiss made quartz movement. Aside from a new battery ever few years, it’s not uncommon for these movement to run twenty years between general servicing.
We tidied the watch up with a very light polish to restore some bling. It is running great, keeping excellent time and comes with our no charge one year warranty. Tag Heuer are still showing a diamond Link on the Tag Heuer website for $7,450.00. Our excellent condition pre-owned example is priced at $2,600.00 CAD. Stock #520-00200.

Tradition is a powerful thing, and nothing is more powerful that what a wedding ring represents. The tradition of presenting a ring as a symbol of marriage dates back thousands of years but they were mostly worn by women. It wasn’t until the past century that men began wearing a wedding band, mostly by soldiers as a way to be reminded of their wives back home. A golden band like our latest estate item is the epitome of the wedding ring.
A simple dome profile with a moderate width of 5.3mm, a slightly larger than average size 11 1/2, a generous weight of close to 10 grams, and crafted with premium 18 karat traditional yellow gold. It was made by our favorite Italian manufacturer UnoAerre. Congratulations to them as 2026 marks their 100th anniversary.
Other than being high quality and well made, there is really nothing special about this simple ring, what is special is what it symbolizes. Eternal love, an unbroken commitment, and the infinite bond shared between two partners. The circular design and rounded dome is the most iconic form. A circle has no beginning and no end, it represents infinity. The ancient Egyptians and Romans, who pioneered the tradition, viewed the ring as an unending loop of devotion. In Western cultures, the ring is traditionally worn on the fourth finger of the left hand. This practice stems from the ancient Roman belief in the vena amoris—or “vein of love”—which was thought to run directly from that finger to the heart. This ring has been lightly polished and displays minor scuffs and dings but looks pretty much like new.
We’d be happy to give it a harder polish but this would remove a few tenths of a gram in gold, at today’s gold price we’d rather conserve as much weight as possible. We’d be happy to refinish this ring like new if you wish. As simple and basic as this ring is, we seldom have them in our estate department of this quality. It is a pleasure to showcase such a precious and meaningful piece to jewellery. Our onsite goldsmiths are able to adjust the size to accommodate almost anyone. This previously loved ring is priced at $2,310.00 CAD. Stock #401-00338.
Don’t let the sparkling diamond bezel and dial fool you, this Tag Heuer is up to any task you could ask of it. More than enough twinkle and polish for your next formal event, plus all the rugged features for daily use under the most demanding circumstances. This watch comes standard with a lab-grown sapphire crystal that is many more times harder that glass and helps contribute to a water resistance rating of 200 meters.
A threaded crown with guards protect it from accidental time changes and damage while keeping moisture and debris at bay. The fancy ratcheting bezel while more fashion than function still can be used as a timer, but it may take a bit more time to interpret. That iconic “Link” bracelet for which the watch got its name is in excellent condition showing virtually no wear.
It integrates seamlessly into the case and locking buckle.
This is the very rare reference WT111P with original factory diamond bezel and dial. This model is almost never seen for sale and is one of the rarest modern Tags. Tag Heuer is known for its purpose built sports watches, occasionally producing the odd model with diamond dials. Rarely do they produce a model with a full diamond bezel and almost never one measuring a full 42mm diameter. We’ve never had this model before and it really stands out in our display. The 75 natural diamonds are of VS-GH quality and weigh an estimated 0.75 carats in total.
It is powered by a Swiss quartz movement providing an accuracy expectation of better than 30 seconds per year! The watch features an alternating polished/brushed finish on the bracelet and case, showing minor scuffs and signs of wear. We are happy to provide the next owner with a one year warranty.
It does not come with any original documentation or packaging. Tag Heuer are showing only one diamond bezel, diamond dial Link on their website but its much smaller at only 32mm and is no longer available for purchase online. This very rare model is estate priced at $3,000.00 CAD. Stock #520-00199.
Jadeite is a highly prized gem in the far east. It is of significant cultural value in countries like China where it is highly valued and said to possess many benefits. It is believed to fend off negative energy, promote good luck, and overall well-being. Many feel the beautiful translucent green gem has beneficial influence for clear thinking, emotional stability and enhancing creativity. Besides all that, in very good quality it comes in a calming cool green hue that is almost unique to precious jadeite. There are many other green stones that can be confused with true jadeite but they don’t have jadeite’s saturation of colour and toughness. This ring features a navette shaped cabochon cut jadeite measuring 12.2mm x 5.3mm x 2.6mm estimated to weigh 1.50 carats.
It is bezel set in a custom made 14 karat yellow gold ring weighing over 5 grams in a finger size 5. The jadeite is accented with a small round brilliant cut natural diamond on each shoulder weighing 0.015 carat of I1-H quality.
The ring and stones are in excellent condition showing little wear. This ring can easily be adjusted up or down a size or two to fit most fingers. Estate priced at $840.00 CAD. 206-00591.
At most jewellery stores you’d hardly get an empty 14 karat gold setting for the cost of this finished ring. Our latest estate/pre-owned ring contains an exceptional 1.52 carat VVS2-D excellent cut lab-grown round brilliant cut diamond. Lab-grown diamond growing technology has matured to the point where it isn’t difficult to produce diamonds that mimic the absolute best Mother Nature can. This one is D colour (the highest grade possible), with a clarity grade only two grade off from Internally Flawless, excellent cut, excellent polish, and excellent symmetry are common place among lab-grown diamonds these days.
Lab-grown diamonds also do not exhibit fluorescence as some naturals do, so this one with not glow blue when exposed to long wave ultraviolet light. The simple 14 karat white gold setting was crafted from 14 karat white gold with a thin 1.5mm wide shank. It features pointy talon shaped claws that are the preferred shape everyone is asking for.
The finished ring measures a finger size 5 and can be adjusted up or down as required.
This ring was purchased new from us less than a year ago and remains in original condition. We didn’t even repolish it, just a quick dip up in our hot ultrasonic cleaning machine and it’s ready to go. Including a June 2025 International Gemological Institute report this beautiful lab-grown diamond solitaire is estate priced at only $1,200.00 CAD.

If you’re considering buying anything collectible, there are three things you need to consider. Most important is the condition, always buy the best quality your budget allows, you’ll never regret buying quality. History and providence speak volumes about how it was cared for and who used it. And finally, shop value, not necessarily the price. Usually, the lowest price ends up costing the most in the long run. Our latest collectible Omega checks of all the boxes.
The most basic Moonwatch is highly collectible yet very common. The Moon phase Moonwatch 3576.50.00 is also very collectible and offers so much more for not much more money. Referencing our old dealer catalogs from 2004 we found out this watch had a retail price of $5,500.00, while the common basic Moonwatch sold for $3,700.00. That is close a 50% premium for the Moon phase. Its premium price bought you the obvious moon phase cut-out window that displays the waxing to waning moon as it goes through its 29 1/2 day cycle.
The extra display is just the start. The 3576.50.00 also offers as useful pointer calendar feature, an expensive domed sapphire crystal on the front compared to a plastic crystal on the basic model. The moon phase watch also showcases a beautifully decorated Lemania caliber 1866 through a case-back display window.
The 1866 is basically a modified version of the famous 1861. The modifications include extra components to display the the moonphase and calendar, plus a more elaborate decoration and a metal chronograph brake instead of a plastic one in the regular 1861. The moon phase Speedmaster is far more uncommon. Judging from what we see for online sales, the moonphase represents only around 15% of number compared to the standard issue.
Our particular example has prefect provenance. We sold the watch to an avid watch enthusiast in April 2004 and it was the pride of his collection.
It came back to us in hardly worn condition and was quickly snapped up by one of our best watch collector customers who wore it in light rotation with many others in his care.
They only kept it for a year or two before trading it in for something else. It remains in original unrestored unpolished condition, looking almost like new. There are only a few light signs of use, with light scuffs, minor scratches on the buckle, bracelet, and case. The sharp edged tachymetre scale show no dings or impact marks.
There are a few small scratches by the calendar and moon phase adjustment pushers. The watch comes complete with the fully endorsed warranty card from Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers back when we were Omega authorized agents. It also includes the inner/outer boxes showing our original inventory number from 2004, instruction booklet, handy moon phase/date adjustment tool, and even the original plastic product take showing the original price, serial number etc.
As a finishing touch the original customer hand out 121 page Omega brochure comes with this complete package. The copyright date on the rare booklet dates from 2003 matching the era for the watch.
We are pleased to offer this watch with a complimentary 1-year warranty. Excellent condition, perfect providence, estate price of $9,000.00. We don’t expect this one to last long before it goes to the next collector. Stock #510-00094.

The Datejust has evolved over the past 8 plus decades with dial variations, new bezels, movement/bracelet improvements as well as new material options. What hasn’t changed is the overall feel and look, always remaining distinctly Datejust. When introduced in 1945 it was a game-changer, commemorating the esteemed Swiss brand’s 40th anniversary. Not only was the Datejust the first self-winding wrist chronometer with a date display, first watch with an instantaneous change calendar, it was also the first Rolex to feature the legendary cyclops date magnifier on the crystal.
It’s Rolex’s most versatile model and for decades had an almost unchanging Dorian Gray effect; a watch that could be purchased and worn for decades without looking dated or out of fashion. Over the past decade or so the trend shifted towards larger watches (until 2009 the largest Datejust was 36mm). Consumers demanded more sophistication and greater attention to detail with technological and mechanical advancements. Slow to change Rolex realized they had to come up with something bigger, appealing to a new generation of luxury watch clients. Pictured beside a 36mm Datejust the Datejust 41 is noticeably larger.
Rolex has always maintained extremely strict tolerance and standards for anything leaving their factory. They even refine their own gold to assure colour consistency and control alloy specifications. They knew they could produce a 41mm timepiece that would be revered for years to come. Rolex’s first foray into a larger 41mm diameter Datejust was with the Datejust II and it received somewhat mixed reviews. As expected, people loved the size, but they also found the proportions to be a bit off and complained it was a bit bulky and awkward looking. There are numerous online watch forums you can join where collectors gather and dissect every subtle nuance found in a wristwatch. No scuff, blemish, or discoloration was acceptable coming from the factory and many of the concerns over the case profile and lug shape of the DJII were voiced. Slowly a “perfect Datejust checklist” was formed with changes that could be implemented to make a 41mm Datejust perfect.
In 2016, to many collector’s delights, Rolex released a second version of the 41mm Datejust, the Datejust 41. Almost immediately and uniformly believed to be the best Datejust ever. It featured a slimmer profile with thinner lugs blending beautifully allowing it to show proudly on the wrist and yet slip comfortably under a shirt cuff. What lurks within the 904L stainless steel case is also new and exciting; the 3235 movement. Collectors appreciate the older workhorse 3135 movements that were used for 20 plus years in the Datejust and even Submariner models, but as a consumer, the new generation Rolex 32XX movements as a quantum step forward. It is not an evolution of the 3135, as over 90% of the parts are new.
Without getting too in too deep, the 3235 features a completely new type of escapement (the heart of a movement), a modified barrel design allowing for a longer mainspring, extended power reserve, new winding module to increase efficiency and tighter accuracy tolerances. In keeping with the Rolex philosophy of “in-house” manufacture, they have improved gear train efficiency by developing their own proprietary lubricants. Even though the movement is rarely seen and only by qualified watchmakers, they have even refined the aesthetic finishes on the movement itself. All these improvements ultimately provide the wearer with an extremely accurate, dependable, reliable timepiece with a very long 70-hour power reserve. Our Datejust 41 is the upgraded two-tone yellow Rolesor model featuring the quintessential Rolex yellow gold fluted bezel and supremely versatile silver sunburst dial. The more comfortable and dressier Jubilee bracelet features a clever “easylink” with a locking buckle.
The easy link provides a convenient small extension when you need a touch more room in the bracelet. The buckle has been, believe it or not, factory tested and designed to “snap” closed not only to be secure but to also sound secure. You should always check the sag and stretch on any Rolex bracelet, especially a Jubilee bracelet. Ours shows virtually no sag and no stretch of any kind.
With decades of use without the occasional cleaning the links wear on each other and the bracelet droops when help out horizontally. This watch is in very good all original condition. It shows scuffs and scratches associated with a few years use. We opted to leave it in original condition the surface blemishes can easily be removed in only a day or so if you’d like the finer details of polish returned to how it left the factory in Geneva. We always leave it up the next owner to decide whether to refinish and polish or leave it alone. It can always be refinished but it’s only original once.
It comes with the October 28, 2020 dated warranty card. Rarely do we have the chance to showcase a Rolex that comes with the original invoice. This is a Canadian delivery model that was purchased in Ontario at an authorized Rolex agent.
At night the ample application of luminous material on the hands and hour markers make time interpretation a snap.
This is a full set offered with inner/outer box, papers, warranty card, the often-forgotten Rolex hang tags, even a Rolex shopping bag is included. This is a current model as shown on the Rolex website with a price of $22,450.00 CAD. Here is your chance to pick up one of the most popular Rolex models with a good discount compared to new as seen on the Rolex website. We are happy to provide the new owner with our one year warranty. This classic Datejust is estate priced at $19,775.00 CAD. Stock #505-00327.

Tag Heuer Formula 1 watches have come a long way since their colourful introduction of inexpensive sports watches in 1986. The debut came toward the end of the quartz crisis that eliminated many Swiss watch manufacturers.
In fact, Formula 1 was the first watch series released after Techniques d’Avant Garde (TAG) acquired the Heuer watch company. Heuer had become financially stressed as their traditional mechanically based product line had trouble competing with much lower priced Japanese imports like Seiko. It’s fair to say the original, brightly coloured, composite cased original Formula 1 watches helped save the company from insolvency. They were basically a much higher quality Swatch watch. It’s not unusual for us to see an original Formula 1 come in for a fresh battery. We usually have a 1st generation for sale in our estate collection.
Our latest formula 1 dates more than 3 decades after the originals hit jewellers showcases in 1986. It benefits from over 30 years of improvements. Screw down threaded crown, super hard synthetic sapphire crystal, advanced luminova glowing pigments and full 316l stainless steel construction are features the originals never had.
I love the navy blue, red, and yellow highlights of this special edition Red Bull racing chronograph. Our latest F1 estate offering is in like new condition.
The polished/brushed finish is completely original and has not been polished or refinished in any way. Model CAZ101AL comes complete with everything from the original purchase in the summer of 2022.
It was ordered directly from Tag-Heuer online. When bought directly through Tag-Heuer the purchaser gets a giant box with extra documents, a bright red folder, and a high quality travel pouch.
I guess when Tag-Heuer (Corporate) don’t need to share any of the profit with an authorized agent, they can afford to splurge a little on an elaborate presentation. The efficient and ultra precise quartz movement should run trouble free for many years to come. We would expect to see an accuracy rate of plus or minus a few seconds a month. The movement features a handy calendar and a lap time function in addition to the regular start/stop/reset chronograph. This watch is a current offering form Tag Heuer and can be seen on their website where it carries a retail price of $3,000.00 CAD. Including a complimentary 1 year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty this excellent condition Tag Heuer Formula 1 is estate priced at $1,900.00 CAD. Stock 520-00141.

On November 7, 1990, roughly 40 witnesses—including police, journalists, and hotel guests watched a massive, silent, metallic object hovering over downtown Montreal. Beginning around 7:20pm, the UFO displayed glowing green, amber, and yellow lights and remained suspended above the Hotel Bonaventure for close to three hours before slowly vanishing. The incident began when an American tourist swimming in the hotel’s rooftop pool spotted the craft and alerted a lifeguard. Hotel security, local police, and journalists from La Presse were summoned, all observing the large silent object emitting brilliant beams of light. Despite the extended observation time, high number of credible witnesses, investigations by local authorities and airport air traffic controllers found no radar activity or known aircraft in the area. It remains one of the most famous and well-documented unidentified flying object (UFO) incidents in Canadian history. The Royal Canadian mint commemorated the event in this unusual $20.00 coin issued in a small run of only 5000 examples. The rectangular shaped coin is curious in its own right, but when you shine invisible ultraviolet light on the reverse side the party starts.
Vivid colours and the outline of the craft become visible and appear to shift direction as the coin is moved. The RCM incorporated and engineered a Fresnel optical effect that alters that way light reflects on the coin giving the light beams artificial movement as the coin is tilted to a shallow observation angle. These coins were quickly snapped up upon initial offering and are now only available on the secondary market. For anyone fascinated by UFOlogy and the paranormal, this coin would make an amazing gift. This is the only example of this coin to ever pass through our estate department. Untouched and still sealed in its original plastic container. It comes complete with its original display box, cardboard outer box and certificate. This one is number 1144 of 5000 issued. Bullion purchases like this are not subject to any form of sales tax. Estate priced at $260.00 CAD. Stock #912-01118.

Whether it’s a vintage car or vintage watch, buy the best example you can afford. Quite often if not almost always, the cheapest example will end up costing you the most. If you ever want to trade in the “cheap” one, you’ll likely discover why it was the cheapest in the first place. When it comes to possibly the most collectible watch in the world, the Rolex Submariner (all references) has got to be at the top of the list. If you’ve be watching them for a while, you know they seem pretty much immune to depreciation.
Long gone are the days when you could pick up a nice one for a few thousand dollars; today, you can’t even get a rough example for under $10,000.00. That 10K price point will only buy one with marginal history, possible damage, non original parts, and maybe doesn’t even come with an genuine Oyster link Rolex bracelet.
Our latest Submariner isn’t the most sought after or rarest, but it’s perhaps the one of the most honest and original you’re likely to find anywhere, and that’s what counts. This is the last of the plastic crystal Subs, the iconic 5513 no date. It was a core offering in the Rolex Sport watch lineup from 1962 until 1989, making it the longest running Submariner model ever.
It changed little over the years, mostly upgrading the bracelet to become sturdier in later versions. The dial also changed from matte black finish with simple printed hour plots to glossy black with 18 karat white gold framed applied hour markers. What makes this 5513 so desirable is just how complete it is and the fact that it has only had one owner since it was purchased new in Toronto at Birks in 1990 for just $1,300.00 plus $104.00 sales tax.
In addition to the original invoice, the watch comes with a fully endorsed warranty sheet, Birks guarantee (also fully endorsed), instruction booklet, Rolex Oyster achievement booklet, and the inner and outer box complete with reference number sticker.

Inside the box is the Rolex pillow and blanket that look untouched.
The dial/hands are original and perfect showing just a hint of patina. The no-longer luminous tritium material has a tiny hold in the hour hand that we didn’t even notice until we took these magnified pictures.
When we opened the case to examine the movement we were surprised but not entirely shocked that the movement appears to have never been serviced, as there isn’t even a single service etching.
The in house manufactured calibre 1520 automatic winding mechanism is very dry as expected but still functioning and starts with just the slightest movement.
The two way bezel with anodized aluminum insert is in great condition showing only one decent sized scratch at the 5 to 10 minute mark. The plastic domed crystal displays a few small scratches that can easily be polished away in about 30 seconds. The stainless steel case has not been polished and shows wide lugs with the factory applied bevel on all sides.


This feature gets soft and eventually disappears over the years as the watch is worn. The twelve link 93150 Oyster bracelet is in very good condition displaying just a touch 0f sag, but zero stretch.
The Rolex coronet logo on the buckle is practically perfect is date coded correctly to 1989 according to the N11 stamp. They haven’t made them like this since the late 1980s and we haven’t seen one this good for almost as long. Estate priced at $20,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00506.

The last of the plastic crystal Datejust models should keep the vintage watch collector in you happy while the convenience of a quick set calendar and high beat movement will keep the modern performance minded enthusiast satisfied. The Rolex DateJust 16013 was the first model to feature the in house developed 27 jewel calibre 3035 featuring an escapement that ticked away at 28,800 vibrations per hour. This feature gave the new 16013 Datejust the smoothly sweeping second hand that is know seen across the entire Rolex lineup. The higher frequency movement also improved accuracy and featured a power reserve of over two days. This particular example dates from 1984 according to the 8.3 million serial number and corresponding I4 date coded buckle. This watch appears completely original right down the to beautifully aging violet/blue dial.
The colour shift from navy blue to violet is well under way and gives this face a unique appearance. Each and every lume plot is completely intact with a hint of gold patina displayed on the extreme outside edge of the dial.
The 20 link 18 karat gold and stainless steel Jubilee bracelet is in very good condition and displays less than expected sag for being close to 40 years old.
That iconic fluted bezel is sharp and crisp, framing the throwback plastic crystal.
The crystal sits proud and scratch free proclaiming its vintage heritage to those who know what to look for. The watch is running great and comes with a Rolex box, Datejust booklet and green product tag. Including a 1-year warranty, this unusual retro Rolex is estate priced at $8,750.00 CAD.

Buying gold bullion costs some money, but it’s not the same a spending money. When you spend money on most consumer products its value completely disappears in relatively short order. Gold bullion in any form is always in demand and tends to match or exceed the rate of inflation over time. Short term it goes up and down but holding gold for a long time is how it protects value the best.

For all those who are looking for a large, sporty watch, this one’s worthy of consideration. We get more requests for the larger “statement” type watches than actually come through our estate department. Full sized models from Rolex, Omega, IWC, Panerai are snapped up quickly from our displays, often selling even before we are able to post them online. For overall wrist impact the Breitling Avenger 45 checks off all the boxes. At 45mm case size it’s large and heavy at just over half a pound (241 grams), it may be a bit of a commitment to wear on a smaller wrist.
The brushed finish case and bracelet provide a serious all business look. Ratcheting one way bezel timer, 12 hour chronograph, over sized threaded crown, luminous hands/markers, heavy duty solid link bracelet with locking buckle confirm the sporting nature of the this machine.
This watch could almost pass for new. It appears only lightly worn displaying just a few very minor scuffs. A good gauge to judge how a watch like this was previously worn is to examine the violet anti-reflective surface treatment on the lab-grown sapphire crystal. The sapphire crystal itself is super hard and very difficult to scratch, but the AR surface treatment is much softer. If you see lots of scratches on the anti-reflective surface coating but the watch has none, you know the watch has been refinished to some degree.
If you can’t see the AR coating, and the watch doesn’t show wear and tear, you can guarantee it’s been refinished or polished. We’re happy to report the AR coating on this Avenger is in almost perfect condition. Just a few light scratches can be seen and only under extreme scrutiny. Perhaps the bracelet and buckle have been lightly touched up, but the bezel and case are likely untouched. The lack of sag on the heavy bracelet also suggests this watch hasn’t lead a hard life.

A very accomplished Valjoux 7750 controls the time keeping duties within the highly water resistant stainless steel case. Breitling’s in house watchmakers have refined and modified the movement in order to receive chronometer grade accuracy levels.
Breitling still make an Avenger model this is very similar looking, but slightly larger at 46mm and now houses Breitling’s own in-house built B01 chronograph movement. The current model as seen on Breitling’s website comes with a retail price of $12,750.00.
Our lightly worn estate example is keeping great time with all functions working as designed. Including a one year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty this watch is estate priced at $4,300.00 CAD. Stock 515-00124.
The versatility of a classic three stone diamond ring is simply unmatched. This style of ring has been around for hundreds of years and is still a top seller in every configuration. Small diamonds, large diamonds, different shaped centre or side stone, and also with coloured gems, it’s pretty hard to get this design wrong. They have been used for engagement rings, anniversary rings, right right hand rings, and sometimes “just because I love you” rings. Our latest little estate version is this absolute timeless example. It showcases three nicely matched 0.20 carat round brilliant cut natural diamond of modest by bright and sparkling I1-I2 clarity with JK colour. They are set in low sturdy four prong double gallery settings with thick claws tips ready for decades of enjoyment.
This one measure a finger size 6 1/2 and weighs 3.7 grams, crafted from upgraded 14 karat gold. The 4mm flat profile shank is solid and slightly tapers to 2.8mm at the bottom. This ring has been polished up and looks indistinguishable from new. The estate nature of this ring means big savings over new and is a great value. Ready to go and compliment an existing wedding/engagement/anniversary ring or be used as a stand everyday ring. Including our Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers presentation box, this little bit of luxury is priced at $980.00 CAD. Stock #101-00331.
I say this with utmost respect; here’s a watch that will only be truly appreciated by our watch geek customers. It may not yet be a household name in North America like Rolex, Tag Heuer, Breitling etc. but feature for feature the Sinn 356 Flieger II leaves many other name brand watches grounded.
Of course it comes with the standard features most high quality professional watches have, including a threaded crown, threaded case back, luminous hands/markers, stainless steel case, and a super tough thick acrylic crystal.
For absolute functionality the flat black aviation style dial with pure white Arabic styled hour markers can’t be beat. The stainless steel case and bracelet have been hardened with a special tegimenting process making the steel harder and more scratch resistant than conventional stainless alloys.
If you’re looking for an exclusive brand that you are not likely to encounter at every watch boutique consider the Sinn 356 Flieger. Comes complete with the original packaging, boxes, and instructions on mini CD.
Our 2010 model is powered by the venerable 25 jewel Valjoux 7750 that has been modified for Sinn specification, and has been nicely decorated to standard higher than you’d expect at this price point. The current versions are using the Swiss made Sellita SW500 clone of the original Valjoux. The Sellita versions are high quality, robust performers; but given a choice we prefer the Valjoux original as found in this older model.
The functionality and utility of Sinn watches are second to none. They are engineered to the German standard of practicality and usefulness. Previously owned by a client of Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers who decided he just didn’t need this watch as his other watches saw more use.
There are only 4 agents in Canada for these exclusive watches according to the Sinn website. This watch is still a current offering and can be purchased new for $5,940.00 CAD. The watch is in excellent condition looking like it was only worn a handful of times.

Elephants have long been regarded as symbols of good fortune, wisdom, strength, and steadfast protection. Our latest estate bracelet celebrates this enduring symbolism through thoughtful craftsmanship and exceptional design. Fashioned in 9 karat rose, yellow, and white gold, and weighing 19.3 grams. The bracelet measures 13.7mm wide and just over 7 1/2 inches in length.
This unique bracelet showcases a procession of finely sculpted elephants. The harmonious blend of the three gold tones enhances the dimensional detailing, giving each figure its own luminous character while creating a sophisticated interplay of colour. Every elephant is further accented with a bezel-set deep blue sapphire eye, lending a subtle yet captivating contrast to the polished gold tones.
Each elephant forms an individual articulated link, joined to the next by sturdy hinged connections that create exceptional flexibility and fluidity. The articulated links allow the bracelet to contour gracefully around the wrist, ensuring both a comfortable and elegant fit. While thoughtful construction is evident throughout the entirety of the piece, the seamlessly integrated clasp hidden within one of the elephant motifs is a particularly ingenious feature.
Preserving the uninterrupted procession of figures, the integrated clasp allows the bracelet’s artistic composition to remain intact without the visual interruption of a conventional fastening. A parade of elephants is traditionally believed to invite prosperity, resilience, and positive energy, making this bracelet both a meaningful talisman and a refined statement piece. This exceptional bracelet offers a rare combination of symbolic significance, meticulous engineering, and whimsical sophistication, making it a remarkable addition to any fine jewellery collection. It is in excellent estate condition and is offered at $2,250.00 CAD. Stock #241-0012.
A high quality Swiss watch can be had by almost anyone. It only takes a little bit of discipline in budgeting. Save a few dollars a day and before you know it, a lifetime of luxury timekeeping can be yours. The Tag Heuer link series has been around since 1987 and it looks like Tag Heuer are considering retiring them, at least for a while. I can imagine a reintroduction in the future and this look has been part of Tag Heuer’s identity for close to 40 years. There are only 10 Link models currently shown on Tag’s website. The wishbone shaped bracelet link design has come to be one of the brand’s most defining looks.
They are both dressy and sporty all at the same time. Those who have one find it one the most comfortable and versatile designs. The total case thickness of 10mm allows it to easily pass under your cuff.
From dress shirt to bathing suit this style can handle it all. The sporty rotating bezel is fully functional as a 60 minute timer with a one way ratcheting design for diving applications.
The crown and case-back are threaded helping the watch achieve a water resistance rating of 200 meters. A calendar, second hand and luminous treatment to the hands and hour markers add some extra utility a purely dress watch may lack.
The distinctive bracelet design features a sturdy fold over locking buckle with micro adjustment for the perfect fit.
This watch is powered by an ultra accurate and reliable Swiss quartz movement that is functioning flawlessly keeping virtually perfect time. It is operating with accuracy levels no automatic watch could match. Expect this watch to gain or lose only around 15 seconds per year (or better). Aside from a full service every 10 to 15 years, just a high quality silver oxide every 2 years is all you need to enjoy a watch like this for the next few decades or more. At 39mm diameter the watch is the Goldilocks size for most gentlemen. The slightly domed lab-grown sapphire crystal of this watch provides perfect optics when viewing the spotless flat finish/concentric ring black dial. The hour markers are rectangular tapered in shape and feature a razor sharp crease in the middle giving them a faceted look. Much like the fluted bezel on many Rolex models, the hour markers twinkle and sparkle at the slightest wrist movement. The watch is in very good to excellent condition, with only minor scuffs showing on the highly polished 39mm case and bracelet. Included with purchase is our complimentary one year warranty, Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers presentation box and travel shell. This classic design Tag Heuer Link is estate priced at $800.00 CAD.

The look and feel of natural gold is half the attraction. When you consider the concentration of value in such a small object you immediately realize why gold has captivated people for thousands of years, As soon as you heft the weight and see the rich yellow colour you’ll likely be hooked too. A raw nugget like this Canadian example steps it up a notch with its natural beauty. Gold found on earth is thought to be at least a couple hundred million years old to billions of years old. Gold arrived on earth along with other precious metals as passengers on meteorites. This one is from Cariboo Mining BC. This nugget measures around 19mm in total length and reminds me of a wadded up length of string. Every nugget is completely unique displaying different textures and shapes.
As a unique curiosity, gold nuggets make the perfect gift for the hard to buy for and those who appreciate the value something like this represents. Raw gold is not considered bullion and is not completely pure, usually containing trace amounts of other metal impurities and minerals. British Columbian gold nuggets from Cariboo like this are typically a little over 90% pure or roughly 21 to 22 karat. Our estate nugget is sealed in a display container and is verified by Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC). The price of this specimen may change with the price of gold. Currently, this beauty is estate priced at $700.00 CAD. Stock #913-00165.

Breitling are not newcomers to the watch industry; they’ve been producing high quality Swiss made watches since 1884. Over the last 50 years or so they’ve developed a dedicated following for aviation geared sports watches. Many of their watches are designed with professional pilots in mind. The early 1950s introduced the Navitimer with a rotating slide rule used for navigation and calculations. The 1980s introduced the Chronomat pilot chronograph to the world. It was a new model celebrating Breitling’s centennial.
The Chronomat substituted a slide rule bezel for a more basic 60 minute timer bezel with an inner tachymeter scale on the chapter ring. Our featured watch is the 44m “blue panda” dual time GMT version of the chronomat, reference B0420 with pilot bracelet. In addition to the regular stopwatch/chronograph features, this watch has a very easy to interpret second time zone. The hard to miss large red hand points to any alternate time zone in 24 hour format.
The traditional hour hand can be adjusted back and forth without affecting the second time zone. The alternative time zone can also pass through midnight and even go backwards through midnight without affecting the minutes or seconds. The red hour hand can be used for either local home time or any other time zone of your choice. The watch is in excellent condition, showing only minor evidence of wear.
No polishing or refinishing of any kind was done to prepare the watch for sale. Just a quick ultrasonic cleaning and it’s ready to go. The perfectly reflective polished finish can easily be restored while you wait by one of our onsite Goldsmiths in less than 30 minutes. Powering the watch is Breitling’s in house developed B04 proprietary movement. The single mainspring design stores a remarkable 70 hours of power reserve when not being worn and easily conforms to accuracy levels awarding it chronometer grade status. The watch was purchased new at an Ontario Breitling authorized agent in September of 2018.
When new this watch had a suggested retail price of $11,030.00 (original price tag included). Today the closest replacement model in the Breitling lineup has a price of $14,300.00. Our lightly worn watch also comes with a soft blue rubber aftermarket strap that gives the watch a much more casual look.
The rubber strap comes with quick release spring bars.
Everything that was delivered when new comes included with the purchase; inner/outer boxes, endorsed Canadian warranty card, instructions, chronometer certificate, and the extra rubber strap. Our master watchmaker performed a full service to the mechanical movement in the fall of 2025.
We are happy to provide the next owner with a complimentary one-year warranty covering all aspects of mechanical failure or factory defect. Estate price $5,500.00 CAD. Stock number 515-00123.
Bangles make great pieces of jewellery to wear all the time, with a few exceptions. They must be sturdy enough to withstand everyday impacts and not so elaborate that claws securing gems wear down with long term use. This simple bi-pass design hinged bangle is a great example of wearable jewellery designed to last. Not so heavy that cost becomes a concern, but heavy enough and constructed in a way that resists bending and dents.
With only two moving parts there is almost no wear from continuous motion; and those parts only move when the bracelet is being put on or taken off. The triangular knife edge profile of the top section splits in direction securing a white gold box setting that contains a single princess cut natural diamond weighing 0.06 carats of SI2-J quality. The four prongs holding the 57 facet gem in place are below the surface of the box setting making them pretty much impossible to wear thin.
The forked hinge operates on an oversized pin soldered in place that will last almost indefinitely. The corresponding clasp side has been crafted from white gold that is not only harder than yellow gold, but also provides a better spring action locking into the female side.
An easy to operate side safety clasp folds over an interference ball that adds the final touch of security. This bracelet is in like new condition and was just freshly polished. It is estate priced at $1,470.00 CAD. Stock #171-00093.
If you’re an Omega fan and this watch looks familiar, it’s not surprising. This 1964 Omega Seamaster 300 was the inspiration for the Seamaster Planet Ocean that debuted in 2005. The current line of vintage Seamaster 300 Heritage watches also take some design inspiration from this classic reference 165024 Seamaster.
For a 1960s watch the 300 was quite large at almost 42mm in diameter, while the benchmark Rolex Submariner, Submariner Date, and Sea-Dweller were 40mm or smaller. Despite the “Seamaster 300” name, this watch had a water-resistance rating of 200 meters.
The story goes; 1960s pressure testing equipment for watches was limited to 200 meters, so that is official rating Omega used for its marketing material. At 200 meters the pressure exerted is over 300 pounds per square inch. Curiously, the Seamaster 300 does not have a threaded crown to achieve the 200 meter rating.
The Omega design relied on water pressure itself to maintain water-resistance. In theory, as the depths increased so did the pressure exerted on the crown and the watch actually became more water-resistant. This system was innovative but didn’t offer a lot of protection at shallow depths typically encountered when swimming or splashing around.
As a result it is very rare to find a vintage Seamaster with an original dial as they often were replaced during routine service due to exposure to moisture. The dial on this example is perfect and still glows well in the dark, leading us to believe it is a replacement service dial.
Service dials are genuine, and used by manufactures when the original becomes damaged, discoloured, or looses luminous properties. The same can be said of the two-way rotating bezel. It too glows and we suspect it may be a service replacement installed around 25 years ago. The plastic domed crystal, is a signed Omega original. The bezel is showing a few good sized impacts that have cracked the transparent coating.
The case is in good but worn condition showing scratches and dings consistent with a watch that is more than 60 years old.
The twisted lugs are a beautiful feature of these vintage Seamasters. Lugs like this are a consistent design element still seen on modern Seamaster 300 and Speedmaster models. Attached to the case is the classic Omega stainless steel 1171/1 bracelet with 633 end pieces.
This bracelet contains 23 links and will accommodate a wrist size of up to 8 3/4 inches. It shows sag but minimal bar wear, and should be good for at least a few more decades of use.
It is likely a vintage replacement as these are most often seen on the Speedmaster Professional chronograph. Powering our 300 is the Omega in house produced 24 jewel calibre 552 serial number 23,798,208.
These movements are very reliable and saw duty in many men’s models lacking a date display, and were manufactured from the late 1950s until the late 60s. These old movements offer a long (for the era) 50 hour power reserve and shock protection, making them reliable performers that can still be used everyday. Our master watchmaker performed a full overhaul to the automatic winding movement in May 2026. The watch is running great and keeping good time and comes with a one-year warranty for the next owner. This watch does not come with any original documents or packaging. Estate priced at $9,000.00 CAD. Stock #510-00242.

The Longines Ultra-Chron diver release in 2022 marks a return for the 194 year old Swiss company to high frequency mechanical watchmaking technology. To that end it only makes sense to do it in a retro inspired model from their past. The original Ultra-Chron diver also featured a self winding movement running at 36,000 cycles per hour. The high speed mechanism when partnered with a silicon hairspring, an antimagnetic escape wheel and pallet fork allow the new model greater accuracy, easily conforming to chronometer requirements.
The skinny seconds hand sweeps smoother than the competition as it releases power 10 beats per seconds compared to the industry standard of 8. The movement of the seconds hand is so smooth it actually appears to be running faster than watches equipped with a standard 28,800 frequency mechanism. Rather than choosing aluminum or ceramic for the bezel material, Longines selected lab-grown sapphire for the insert. The one-way bezel is highlighted with red lacquer hash marks denoting minutes and bright luminous material at 15, 30, 45, and 60 minute markers.
Minutes are far more important than hours when it comes to critical diver information; to make the watch as functional as possible the minute hand is painted bright red. The hour hand is highly polished reflective silver with a faceted crease down the centre, the seconds hand is polished and needle thin. Hour markers are printed directly on the dial with quarters highlighted with more lume, applied and faceted.
The dial is an attractive matte finish with granular appearance. Traditional winged hourglass Longines logo and funky Ultra-Chron sideways lightning bolt symbol complete the dial letting you know this watch is something special. It’s a large watch measuring 43.0mm in width and 48.8 lug to lug. The supremely flexible bracelet keeps the size manageable for many wrist sizes as it hinges right at the spring bar connection point.
High beat movement and high specification construction are all standard with the Ultra-Chron diver. The bezel is effortless to turn with 120 index clicks per rotation, a threaded crown and case-back protect the movement to a depth of 300 meters, the domed crystal looks like a plastic original but it is made from lab-grown sapphire treated with an anti-reflective coating. The case is a combination brushed and polished with a wide tapering bevel on the top giving an added luxury touch. This watch is an early introduction model complete with the large box containing a black/red NATO style Longines strap. The watch also comes with the original brown leather strap and signed buckle.
The box is missing the strap/bracelet removal tool. Originally purchase in July of 2022 in Ontario at an authorized Longines dealer. This watch remains under factory warranty until the end of July 2027.
It is 100% original, lightly worn, and has never been polished or touched up in any way. This watch is a current model and can be seen on the Longines website where it shows a retail price of $5,750.00. Including the inner/outer large box, instructions, endorsed warranty card, and two extra straps, our excellent condition Ultra-Chron diver is priced at $4,000.00 CAD. Stock #501-00447.

Yes, we showcase many great estate and vintage watches on our website. Our ever-changing selection keeps our watch collecting clients coming back. We never grow tired of the magnificent watches that we temporarily foster until they find their forever homes. If an estate Rolex, Omega, or Breitling just seems a little too pedestrian and you desire something more exotic, how about an IWC Schaffhausen? Not only is it a fun name to say, but it is also one of the true great manufacturers. They are much more than just a well-marketed brand. From their 1868 inception in Schaffhausen Switzerland by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones, they developed an international reputation for manufacturing watches of the highest quality. Our newest estate watch is this titanium AquaTimer with an internal one-way rotating bezel.
This feature was last seen in the original ICW AquaTimers from the 1960s and we’re happy to see its return. The slick system allows for timing events by setting the bezel with the 4:00 o’clock crown. There is no external ratchet system to get dirty or stiff and gives the watch an interesting slightly dressier look than a hardcore sports model. Make no mistake this is still a serious diver tool, with a water-resistant rating of 2,000 meters!
Despite its larger size the titanium case and rubber strap keep the weight to a very manageable 103 grams.
The large hands and markers with luminous treatment are easy to read in all lighting conditions.
The movement inside the case is an IWC 21 jewel 30110 (base caliber ETA 2892-A2). This automatic winding mechanism has been powering some of the world’s most famous Swiss brands with accuracy and reliability for decades.
Included with the watch is an IWC service box and receipt from a December 2023 factory service that included a full overhaul of the movement, case refinishing and replacement of the hands.
IWC no longer offer the AquaTimer in super tough resilient titanium. The current version in stainless steel with an internal bezel retails at $9,800.00 CAD and can be seen on the IWC website here. This excellent condition watch comes with our complimentary 1-year warranty. It is estate priced at $4,200.00 CAD. Stock #501-00429.

Do the math on this and see if you don’t agree, the value of our like new estate jewellery can’t be beat. This 14 karat white gold diamond pendant has a net gold weight of 0.83 grams. The gold content alone has a value of $91.00 at the current price of gold ($5,893.00 per ounce Canadian June 19, 2026). The seven natural round brilliant cut diamond are of I1 clarity, GH colour and weigh an estimated 0.25 carats.
According to current wholesale pricelists, diamonds like this have a cost of $840.00 per carat. At that price the seven natural diamonds would have a wholesale cost of $210.00. So, in just gold and diamond cost this pendant contains over $300.00 in theoretical value. Add to that the cost of manufacturing it, hand setting the seven diamonds, rhodium plating the finished product, and allowing some markup for profit, it’s hard to deny our estate price of only $280.00 is remarkable value. This little pendant is in like new condition, showing no signs of wear. The isn’t even any evidence of a chain rubbing inside the bail where a necklace would run through. The hinged bail/loop at the top is a nice feature that allows the pendant some extra movement when worn.
Does not include a chain. We plenty of new and estate chains in stock, white and yellow gold that are suitable for this pendant. Perfect condition and estate priced at only $280.00 CAD. Stock #161-00311.

Details matter, and when it comes to Rolex, details really matter. Subtle differences between the same model can add up to a huge difference in value. The tropical effect seen on some Rolex from the 1950s into the 1980s may seem like a trivial variation, but in the world of vintage Rolex, it can be massive. Tropical refers to the browning of black dials to very dark brown, chocolate brown or sometimes even a golden brown hue. Extended exposure to ultraviolet light, warm temperature, high humidity, and time are the conditions thought to promote the subtle shift in colour that collectors find irresistible.
In an attempt to address this discolouration issue, Rolex developed a method to make the surface resistant to the effects of UV. As it turns out the paint finish had the opposite effect, but it took a few decades for the flaws in the manufacturing process to become apparent. Rolex addressed the curing “problem” and since the 1990s, browning of black dials hasn’t been an issue. The 30 year window of time meant there are a good number of vintage examples that display some degree of the tropical effect.
We have to assume these dials will continue to colour shift with more exposure under the same hot humid conditions. Our latest estate Rolex has the most prominent example of black to brown fade we’ve seen around here. The aged dial is one aspect of what makes this watch so special. The gilt dial with 3,6,9 and faceted arrowhead markers are another characteristic that we think may be specific to the Canadian, or perhaps the Commonwealth market. We see very few dials using this combination, and the ones we’ve seen over the years have always come from long time Canadian owners. We don’t know the full history of this one but we have an old service warranty card from Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers dated December 2000.
We also have an insurance appraisal from 2003 that describes the “discoloured” dial, so we can deduct the browning was evident more than 20 years ago.
Too bad our old polaroid picture doesn’t show the colour detail like our modern photomicrographs.
We scoured the internet looking for similar 5500 references with Explorer dials and could find a small sampling. Finding one with a tropical dial is almost impossible. Here is a similar looking 5500 from The Keystone in California, but it lacks the tropical brown dial. The watch is in good overall condition and running well. It is powered by the 25 jewel Rolex calibre 1530, the same robust mechanism found in the basic Submariner from the same era and into the 1980s.

This may not be one of the Holy Grail models from Rolex but it certainly looks great with the aftermarket chocolate brown Hirsch strap. This watch is far more rare with the tropical Explorer dial than almost anything else at this price point. Including our original documents and a one year warranty, this collector Rolex is estate priced at $9,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00668.
There are few consumer products except perhaps a hammer or maybe a mousetrap that have stood the test of time better than Omega’s Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. This 2000 Moonwatch is pretty much the same thing NASA equipped its astronauts with in the late 1960s.
Even the hand wind movement powering the watch is the same as the late 60s models. The 861 series of movements continued to power the Moonwatch right up until the 50th anniversary of the moon landing in 2019, when Omega introduced the calibre 3861.
The new movement is considered an updated version; it is still hand wound, runs at that familiar 21,600 beats per minute, and looks very similar. What has changed is the pricing on the basic contemporary version with a $10,200.00 price tag. If you want to upgrade to a display back model, the price jumps to $11,800.00. Our latest Moonwatch is the somewhat uncommon reference 3572.50.00, with a transparent case back showcasing the “luxury” finish of the old fashion wind up movement.
The art of Swiss watchmaking excellence is featured in the form of Geneva striping on bridges, circular graining on the baseplate, polished edges on the bridges and levers. The luxury version also comes with a metal chronograph brake, while the basic execution makes do with a plastic polymer (Omega calls Dering) to make the same part. Our watch comes with an original Hesalite crystal complete with a tiny embossed Omega logo in the centre. At 42mm diameter the watch is large but no overwhelming and not too thick at 13.7mm. It comes with the correct 1998/840 stainless steel bracelet with locking buckle embossed PROFESSIONAL.
If ever there was a “blue chip” Omega, the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch has to be it. Even more so than the a blue dial Seamaster “James Bond” watch, the Moonwatch could be the most important watch in the entire Omega lineup. This model has been well worn over the years but certainly not worn out.
The case edges have softened with use but still display nice detail, the curved lugs too have lost some sharp edge but are very thick. The 16 link bracelet displays only some sag and will accommodate a wrist size of up to 8 inches, extra links for a larger wrist are readily available.
The 12 hour chronograph is functioning as designed and the watch is keeping good time. Speedmaster Professional Moonwatches are always in demand and we expect this one will not last very long. This watch does not come with any original documentation or packaging. Our one year warranty is included for the estate price of $5,800.00 CAD. Stock #510-00241.

The only thing limiting jewellery design is your imagination. From a simple band of gold to a complex dinner ring made from multiple castings and set with precious stones, we thought we’d seen it all. That is until this retro styled masterpiece turned up in our estate department. We have to assume the original design was inspired by ocean creatures.
The organic floral shape looks like plants found in the sea, anemones, corals, starfish, and of course an octopus. The main component of the ring is a top quality South Sea black pearl measuring 23.3mm diameter.
The centrepiece is surrounded by twenty tentacles/arms/branches of different lengths that appear to be in motion, as they radiate out in different directions. Each one has been bead set with multiple tiny round brilliant diamonds of SI clarity in white and fancy chocolate brown colours. Alternating limbs have been treated with black rhodium to enhance and highlight the fancy colour diamonds.
The ring section is a simple white gold band design measuring 3.9mm wide in a finger size 7. This custom made ring is in like new condition showing only wear from handling. The original rhodium plating (both black and white) is fully intact, even on the shank bottom. The ring comes with an accurately documented appraisal certificate from 2017, but since September of 2017 the price of gold has risen 350%.
We’d love to know the goldsmith with the inspiration, creativity, and skill who put all this together, but ring is unsigned without trademark. The sturdy heavyweight ring feels great on the finger with a finished weight of 14.9 grams.
The robust shank can easily be adjusted up or down to accommodate a finger size from a 4 or 5 to a size 10. This one of a kind estate ring is estate priced at $4,510.00 CAD. Stock #131-00300.
At $3,500.00 I think this Breitling is a genuine value. Try to find a high end Swiss watch offering so many features from one of the other luxury Swiss brands at this sort of price point.
Large modern looking 43.5mm stainless steel case, certified chronometer grade Swiss automatic winding movement, 12 hour chronograph with 1/5 of a second timing capability, calendar, luminous dial markers/hands, compass heading rotating bezel, side rule calculator, synthetic sapphire crystal with anti-glare coating, threaded case back and beautiful white on black “panda” dial.
In the light or dark this dial offers excellent legibility, even the chronograph registers are treated to bright luminous material.
All this plus the priceless reputation Breiltling have earned since 1884 producing some of the world’s most revered pilot and chronograph equipped watches. This is the first B2 that I remember seeing in our estate department and this one comes with something extra. We currently have it on a hardly worn perfect condition Breitling rubber strap with signed buckle; it also comes with its original stainless steel pilot bracelet with flip lock safety buckle.
Switching to the metal bracelet gives the watch a much more serious professional look. If you have a large wrist a link or two may need to be ordered. This watch would be a great way to get into something a little more complicated than your ordinary time/date only timepiece.
Including a complimentary 1 year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty the watch is estate priced at $3,500.00 CAD. Stock 515-00122.
When you’re buying almost anything, you should buy the best you can afford. When it comes to gold chain, the best has always come from Italy. In the case of Italy the extra cost is minimal but the outcome is superior finish and durability. We speak from experience because we’ve tried other manufactures and while the promise of slightly lower price is tempting, issues with symmetry, frail clasps, and general lack consistent soldering keeps us returning to Italy. When it comes to our estate offerings, Italian chain stands up better retain their original looks better than the rest. This little faceted ball chain made by Oro Catene S.p.A. Italy is a great example of the complicated art of chain making.
It measures 18 inches in length that is popular to use with a pendant or worn by itself as a subtle accessory. The ball pattern resembles with you’d see on an old fashion bathtub drain plug. The faceted texture of the balls elevates the look to something far more exotic than a bathroom fixture. It measures just 1mm in diameter but those bright cut flat surfaces catch the light and sparkle with the slightest movement.
This chain has been crafted from premium 18 karat white gold and weighs in at over 1.7 grams. You’ll never regret buying quality. This chain remains in excellent like new condition and is estate priced at $360.00 CAD. Stock #431-01153.

Tag Heuer’s Link series of watches debuted in 1987 as the Sports Elegance. The name described the look perfectly; dressy enough to wear to any formal event but equipped with rugged sporty features like sapphire crystals, timer bezels, threaded crowns and case backs. Over the decades the series was renamed “Link”. A curious name but one that defined the common feature that connects the series. Those wishbone shaped links have been copied by many brands but first seen on a Tag Heuer close to 40 years ago.
Currently Tag Heuer is only showing 10 Link models on their website, I wonder if they are phasing out the line or will they launch a new Link series in the near future. If they do that, it’s safe to assume the wishbone link will be a key design element. Our latest estate Link is this taupe diamond dial 32mm quartz model that is part of the remaining models as shown on Tag Heuer’s website where it’s priced at $4,450.00. Reference WBC131E.BA0649 is definitely one of the dressier models to emerge over the years. A subtle taupe hue dial with radial sunburst finish is sophisticated and versatile enough to wear with any outfit or colour.
It is decorated with 12 natural round brilliant cut diamonds of very high VS-G quality. According to the included precious stone certificate the diamonds weigh a combined 0.158 carats.
The fixed bezel is highly polished to a mirror finish. Attached to the 32mm cushion shaped case is that iconic link bracelet with hidden integrated locking buckle.
The entire watch is polished to a bright finish and remains in very good condition. A few minor scuffs and scratches can be seen under scrutiny but largely go unnoticed. We’d be happy to go over the watch and polish away any blemishes for the next owner while you wait.
The bracelet contains its full compliment of adjustable links. Comes complete with the original inner/outer boxes, instruction booklet, precious stone certificate and warranty card. The watch is running great and keeping excellent time. Including a 1-year warranty this watch is estate priced at $2,700.00 CAD. Stock #520-00193.
I can’t remember a time when Art Nouveau and Art Deco jewellery wasn’t highly sought after. I suppose social pressures from 1930s frugality and 1940s global conflicts relegated rings like this to the jewellery box for a while. Elaborate ornate jewellery from the late 1800s to the 1920s patiently waited until beautiful design and public display was once again appreciated. This three stone ring is a classic Edwardian mini masterpiece in remarkable condition for being well over 100 years old. The original shank is still sturdy and in good shape. The pierced filigree and engraved highlights show excellent detail and relief.
5.5mm white pearls on the shoulders are well matched cultured or possibly even natural and original to the ring. They are at minimum cultured salt water pearls from Japan. Without x-ray equipment or removing them with possible damage, it’s impossible to tell. The centrepiece of this antique ring is a round brilliant cut natural diamond measuring 5.8mm x 3.7mm estimated to weigh 0.82 carats. It is a beautifully transparent SI1 clarity with a bright GH colour, very good cut, and exhibiting no fluorescence.
This diamond is not original to the ring as this style of faceting would be considered modern and debuted in the early 1930s. It is impossible to know what originally occupied the centre but we suspect it may have been a contrasting coloured gem or perhaps a former owners birthstone.
The gallery shows no evidence of modification so we can be confident there was never a pearl in the centre. As mentioned, this ring remains in remarkable condition for being approximately 125 years old. It measures a finger size 8 and can be adjusted up or down a few sizes as required. This turn of the 20th century Edwardian three stone antique is estate priced at $3,000.00 CAD. Stock #131-00299.

When you’ve been around since 1848 there are a lot of previous designs to draw inspiration from. This 2021 Omega Seamaster Heritage 234.32.41.21.01.001 looks suspiciously similar to Seamaster models from the 1950s and 60s.
The broad arrow hour hand, arrowhead/Arabic hour markers, lollypop seconds hand, thin minute bezel, and flat lugs look like almost identical to mid-century Seamasters like this very collectible original vintage CK2913.
The newer versions benefit from 70 years of mechanical and material advancements but still operates using the same basic automatic winding technology. For the most part, almost every mechanical wristwatch produced today uses technology that would be familiar looking to watchmakers from generations ago.
Our estate Heritage Seamaster 300 is powered by Omega’s in house manufactured calibre 8912 movement. This beautiful mechanism can trace its roots to the revolutionary calibre 8500 featuring a co-axial escapement and two mainspring barrels that Omega debuted the Hour Vision De Ville of 2007. The highly decorated movement is proudly displayed through the case back window, including the silicon hairspring.
The 38 jewel calibre 8912 qualifies to master chronometer accuracy levels. Omega has thrown down the gauntlet with this in-house developed Master Chronometer mechanism. This automatic winding masterpiece is certified by the Swiss Federal Office of Metrology (METAS). The testing goes above and beyond typical COSC chronometer standards. METAS requires all the movements to already be COSC certified but also be stable when exposed to magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss. The accuracy requirements are also tighter than COSC. A final test confirming the manufacturer’s water resistance rating (300 meters feet in this case) is conducted on the actual completed watch with movement. This estate Seamaster was purchased new in Canada at an authorized Omega Agent in summer of 2021 and comes complete with a fully endorsed warranty card and even the original invoice!
It was seldom worn and shows better than new old stock. It was previously owned by a collector who owns multiple luxury watches; as a result this one was carefully worn only a handful of times. The flat black dial showcases contrasting patinated markers and hands, that brightly glow with an intensity that defines its vintage appearance.
A curved crystal looks just like the domed originals made from easily scratched plastic, but in the Heritage 300 it’s made from super tough lab-grown sapphire that is almost impossible to scratch.
A black ceramic bezel insert is colourfast and exponentially harder the aluminum and plastic versions found in the originals. The one-way rotating bezel allows timing of an event up to 60 minutes. The soft chocolate brown leather strap is original to the watch and is in perfect unblemished condition. Even the white stitching close the the case and buckle are not discoloured in any way.
A threaded case back and threaded crown insure a water-resistance rating of a generous 300 meters. We are happy to supply the new owner with a complimentary one year warranty after the factory warranty expires in August. This watch is still shown on Omega’s website but now only on a stainless steel bracelet. The website also says the watch is currently not available online. From this description we have to believe this watch will soon be, or may already be retired. Our watch comes complete with everything originally supplied by the factory upon delivery, including the plastic hang tag. The protective plastic cover on the pushbutton box release button is still in place. Estate priced at $6,750.00 CAD. Stock #510-00248

Anything shrunk down to a diminutive size instantly becomes cute and adorable. This tiny gold bar is no different. Gold is typically sold and priced in Troy ounce units ( 1 troy ounce equals 31.1034768 grams). They are produced in larger and smaller sizes than 1 ounce, and sometimes they jump to the metric system like this little bar. This is about the smallest size that is commonly available and that you’re likely to encounter. It may be small but still represents significant value given the current price of gold. Recognized gold bars and coins issued in sizes less than one ounce are often referred to as fractional gold, and are always is more demand than larger bars and coins. This Johnson Matthey is even more desirable due to the fact that JM are no in the refining business after close to 200 years. They sold their gold and silver refining operations Asahi Holdings from Japan in 2015 who continue to produce gold and silver bullion under the Asahi brand name. Even though this is just a gram, it is still unique and bears the one of a kind serial number B4321. It is in excellent condition and estate priced at just the the value of gold it contains plus 15%.

Vintage is hot, and for a company like Omega who have been around since 1848 there is a lot of vintage inspiration to reference. This numbered edition doesn’t fit into the current Omega product lines of Seamaster, Speedmaster, De Ville, or Constellation. It’s a re-edition of a very collectible and important Omega from the late 1930s that featured a highly accurate hand wind movement.
The original 15 jewel 30T2 powering the CK859 was of modest specification but proved to be a capable performer. The movement evolved over several decades gaining additional jewelled bearings, shock protection, Breguet overcoil balance spring, going on to win many chronometer timing contests against the other great watch houses from Europe.
Our latest watch is the numbered re-edition reference 511.12.39.21.99.002 that looks much like the original but is a few millimetres larger at 39. It still features the sector dial like 1930s version but this dial is crafted in 925 sterling silver.
The only paint on this face are the dark blue index minute plots, hour markers and the other sector details. The sterling silver dial allows for absolutely perfect text application, including the vintage logo design.
The movement is still hand wind but now features two mainspring barrels and a jewel count of 29. Certified by METAS, this movement qualifies as A Master Chronometer with a daily accuracy of just 0 to plus 5 seconds per day. It is also resistant to magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss, largely do to the high tech silicon hairspring. When fully wound the movement can run a three full days. Deadly accurate, with looks to kill, the beautiful movement is visible through the large display back.
The watch was previously owned by a collector who rarely wore it. It remains in completely original unpolished condition. The only evidence of use are scuffs from turning the crown while winding the movement.
Any grit stuck on your fingers can scratch softer surfaces like the paint on your car or the highly polished stainless steel surfaces of your watch. These minor scratches look much more significant in our photo; they can easily be polished away while you wait. The brown calf leather strap is original and looks like new without a stain or blemish.
The vintage look continues to the tall logo on the steel buckle and crown that mirrors the style that Omega used up until the 1960s.
The manual wind movement, comfortable 39mm size, and a light weight of under 66 grams including the strap and buckle make for a very satisfying wearing experience. This watch was originally purchased at an authorized Omega Agent in 2022 and comes with an insurance appraisal document supplied by the agent.
The watch also comes with the correct box, instruction booklet, travel pouch and wallet, fully endorsed warranty card, hang tag, outer box, original invoice and even the brown cardboard delivery box!
Including our complementary one year warranty, this uncommon vintage inspired watch is estate price at $8,000.00 CAD. Stock #510-00245.

Basic pilot watches are among the most popular of designs when it comes to the ultimate in simple time keeping duties without any distracting or seldom used functions. Other than the essential 3 hand display for hour, minute, and seconds, the only concession for added utility is the discreet calendar display at 6:00 o’clock, but even this is of secondary importance. Large Arabic hour markers with thick hands prove that contrast is of the utmost importance when rapid time recognition is paramount. Day or night the Longines Spirit Pilot is about a legible as they come.
With no thick rotating bezel this watch makes the most of the available dial surface area.
Actual case dimensions of 37.5mm allow the dial to be larger than many 40mm watches. The previous owner of this watch paid an additional $500.00 to upgrade the standard buckle to one with four quick adjustments for length with a simple push button, no need to remove a spring bar to adjust the length.
The new micro adjustment signed Longines buckle integrates nicely into the original bracelet. This is the buckle the watch should have been equipped with from the start.
The watch is powered by the Longines automatic winding, 21 jewel, calibre L888.4 with silicon hairspring and 72 hour power reserve. That .4 suffix denotes independent Certified Chronometer designation. This mechanism has been adjusted in five different positions, at different temperatures, over ten days, insuring it operates with accuracy levels of only a few seconds fast or slow per day. Plus 6 seconds to minus 4 seconds per day or better are what to expect with this timepiece.
This watch was never worn for more than just a few minutes. It is in like new condition with only handling fingers prints. It was purchased new in April of 2026 at an Ontario authorized Longines agent.
This is a current model and can be seen in detail on the Longines website where it has a price of $3,700.00 (with just the basic buckle). Including the balance of the five year warranty valid until April 2031. Our like new example is estate priced at $2,500.00 CAD. Stock #501-00459.

Without question, Tiffany are one of the world’s most famous jewellers and also true masters of marketing. Never one let a marketing opportunity pass by they sometimes incorporate a “T” into the design when it makes sense.

Fluorescence in diamonds has long been cause for a slight discount on price. It was thought by some in the industry to be a negative quality that about 25-35% of natural diamonds exhibit. In some instances, very strong fluorescence can cause a slightly hazy appearance when the diamond is in sunlight or some fluorescent lighting. As synthetic diamonds have become more prevalent on the market we feel fluorescence is a comforting guard against undisclosed lab-grown diamonds. Fluorescence in synthetics if present at all is always an unusual colour and uneven pattern, making this chalky blue a comforting confirmation of natural origins.
The diamond that bears this fun party trick is an impressive 1.03 carat round brilliant cut of very good make, eye clean SI1 clarity, and a silvery cognac RS colour. The colour is almost a perfect match to the un-rhodium plated 18 karat white gold that holds it.
The 3.2 gram ring is a classic tulip solitaire with pinched cathedral shoulders accentuating the impressive diameter of the center. That antique tone gives the ring its competitive price of only $2,450.00 CAD. Stock #101-214 e12761.
The Rolex Sky-Dweller is far more than just a bulked up DateJust. The familiar styling features of the Datejust are certainly plain to see, but what’s inside the jumbo 42mm Oyster case is something that sets the Sky-Dweller apart from any other Rolex that has come before. This watch incorporates has a clever calendar mechanism that knows how many days each month has.
Once you’ve made the adjustment for the month of the year indicated by a red highlight at the end of the corresponding hour marker and the day of the month as indicated by the traditional Rolex magnifier crystal, that’s it. In this image the end of the 10:00 market is red meaning the 10th month (October).
Once set the watch automatically makes adjustments for each month that doesn’t have 31 days. This annual calendar only needs corrected at the end of February (whether or not it is a leap year). On top of this complicated feature, the watch also can display a second time zone shown by the inverted red arrow on the 24 hour wheel off centre in the dial.
The in house developed Rolex calibre 9002 now offers an extra long 3 day power reserve with a claimed accuracy of plus/minus around 2 seconds per day! All the regular Rolex features are present in this new model.
Threaded crown, threaded case back, super tough lab-grown sapphire crystal, and the latest in luminous pigment to provide legibility in the dark. Rolex call their newest glowing material “Chromalight”, it is said to initially glow less bright but outlasts luminova in the time that it will phosphoresces.
The eerie blue colour lets you know you’re looking at Chromalight and not the previous generations green glowing pigment. The starburst finish champagne dial in combination with the Jubilee bracelet is one of the most sought after combinations. The dressier Jubilee bracelet in combination with the champagne dial is the undisputed classic and appropriate for any situation, from black tie event to t-shirt and jeans. That’s the beauty of the “Datejust look”, infinitely versatile and timeless. Incorporated into the locking buckle is a 5mm extension that can easily fold away without the need for tools. Rolex call it the “Easylink” and it’s a great feature for those hot and humid days when a little extra room is nice to have.
Our latest estate Rolex was previously owned by a collector customer of ours who only wore the watch a couple of times. There is virtually no evidence of use, only the tiniest of scuffs on a few of the highly polished surfaces. Needless to say the watch has never been polished, refinished or touched up in any way.
It shows like new and is working flawlessly. The factory supplied 5 year warranty will cover the next owner until July of 2027.

Our price for this classic design estate platinum engagement ring with natural diamonds is about the same as buying a new version with lab-grown diamonds. According to our online research of well know Canadian jewellery stores, there is little to no difference in price between our estate ring or a brand new lab-grown version. If being the original owner is more important than getting superior value, the brand new lab-grown option is the way to go. Lab-grown diamonds are manufactured in huge factories in unlimited numbers and have dramatically fallen in price every year.
This screenshot from our diamond database shows our current retail price for 1.50 carat, high quality, VS1-E, excellent cut, lab-grown diamonds is only around $370.00 USD.
That being said, the natural diamonds in our ring are lower quality than the comparable lab-grown in our example, but that is only because there is little difference in the pricing of any quality of lab diamonds. The centre natural centre diamond in our ring is estimated to weigh 1.42 carats based on dimensions of 7.2mm x 4.5mm. It is a bright white H colour with a strong I1 clarity. There is a feather type inclusion located toward the outside of the gem at the 7:00-8:00 o’clock position as seen in this photomicrograph.
The two tapered baguette diamonds on the shoulders are estimated to weigh 0.17 carat total weight and are of VS-GH quality. The classic setting has been crafted in premium platinum, in a finger size 5 1/2 with a finished weight of 4.3 grams.
It can easily be adjusted in size up or down as required. Platinum is much whiter than white gold, heavier, more durable, and never needs rhodium plating. This ring shows some wear in the form of scuffs and scratches.
These minor blemishes can easily be removed with a refinishing and polish. There is no question lab-grown diamonds have put pressure on the pricing of natural diamonds and this has in turn lowered the price of pre-owned natural diamonds too. Although lab-grown diamonds are beautiful, there is something far more special about a Mother Nature grown diamond. When someone asks, “is it real”, you can say with pride and proudly reply, “yes it is”. Not many newly engaged couples can say theirs is a natural diamond. There is a special feeling knowing your diamond is real and natural. Do some research and learn the true value of lab-grown diamonds, I think you’ll agree, a well priced estate ring with natural diamonds makes a compelling alternative to high margin lab-grown diamonds. This ring needs nothing except a finger to proudly enjoy it for decades to come. Estate priced at $4,500.00 CAD. Stock #101-00653.
Anniversary/eternity rings are some of our most popular styles. They are versatile, can be used on their own, stacked with others, used to compliment your existing wedding or engagement ring. They are often used to commemorate an anniversary, used as a stand alone wedding ring, and even as a right hand ring. We’ve likely sold thousands of anniversary rings since we opened our doors in DownTown Barrie in 1958. In all that time, we’ve never done one like this before. This amazing ring is the result of estate jewellery items that came in last fall.
Alone, the estate rings and earrings were nice but we knew the 13 perfectly matched high quality emerald cut diamonds could be so much more impactful in something new. The result is this custom made, full eternity ring using 12 of the 13 diamonds.
The endless design was hand crafted from 14 karat white gold. It measures 4.6mm wide in a finger size seven. As long as you are close to the average ladies finger size, this ring should work for you. If it is a little large it can be worn behind another ring or we can solder a couple sizing balls inside the shank to take up any extra room.
Most anniversary and eternity rings are made using round diamonds that are both plentiful and easy to match in quality and size. Making one with fancy shaped diamonds is exponentially more difficult. Finding matching stones of the same quality from a much smaller pool of inventory is just the first hurdle. Locating a dozen or more (depending on diamond size) of the same size and matching length to width ratio is where things get very difficult. Once a suitable selection of fancy shaped diamonds are found, you’ll never find an off the shelf setting to accommodate them. Production ring settings simply don’t exist to accept specific shapes and numbers of fancy cut diamonds.
Custom making a one of a kind setting is the only option. It would be a very difficult task and expensive to try to duplicate a ring like this. The 12 diamonds in this custom creation are perfectly matched VS (or better) clarity with EF colour and are 100% natural and unenhanced. All totalling the dozen diamonds weigh over six carats. The diamonds may be 3 to 4 billion years old but the custom ring was only finished a few days ago. It is estate priced at $9,100.00 CAD. Stock #121-00317.

There is a good reason why Rolex made the 16610 Submariner for well over 20 years. It may be the most balanced in terms of technology, tradition, comfort, fit and finish. This model year 2000 is very appealing as an excellent condition example.
It looks almost like new and was treated to a comprehensive service at Rolex in New York in the fall of 2020. The November 2020 service included cleaning of the automatic movement, replacing the crown, friction disc for the rotating bezel, aluminum bezel insert, and gaskets. The New York service invoice and warranty card are included.
The 2000 model year is somewhat notable for several reasons. It was one of the first years for luminova treatment for the hands and markers. This luminous material doesn’t have a shelf life like tritium which doesn’t glow after 20 years.
2000 also saw the implementation of solid end links for the Oyster bracelet and solid diver extension links.
The machined end links are far more sturdy than anything that came before. The fully drilled lugs of 2000 allow the spring bars to lock far deeper into the lugs than the later models with solid lugs. There is no way you are going to bend or shear the spring bars off with this design.
The drilled lugs offer better security while at the same time making it a snap to swap the bracelet for leather, rubber, or nato-style strap.
The hollow centre links and foldover FlipLock buckle keep the overall weight of this watch to a very comfy 132.4 grams. The old school aluminum bezel insert just looks right and was the material of choice for Rolex Submariners since 1953. The 16610 is by far the most common of all Submariners, but that doesn’t make them any less special, and finding nice ones is getting harder every day. This one shows the original details that often lose their definition over time. The bracelet exhibits no stretch and almost no sag. The buckle “frog toes” coronet logo is as crisp and sharp as any we’ve seen.
This watch comes with our complimentary one year warranty. Get em while you can, nice 16610 Submariners are a blue chip Rolex investment. The Submariner is the world’s most popular and sought after sports watch and this one is a great example and is priced to find a new home quickly. Estate priced at $12,500.00 CAD. Stock #505-00227.

Relative to its original purchase price of just $190.00 CAD in 1971, this Rolex had a costly service of $45.00 just 3 years later. The repair/service cost almost 25% of what the entire watch sold for a few years before.
The repair was likely required due to a severe shock or drop of some sort as it needed a new balance staff (common repair) and a general cleaning while it was disassembled. A similar service to a contemporary Rolex would likely cost somewhere in the $1,200.00 to $1,500.00 today. While that sounds like a lot of money, it only represents about 10% of the value of the new Rolex GMT Master II.
This tells quite a bit about the cost of Rolex watches and the servicing fees. Highly skilled watchmakers and technicians were plentiful in the 60s and 70s, every small town had at least a few of them.
The occupation wasn’t very lucrative as plenty of competition kept the servicing costs extremely low. My father was an experienced watchmaker in the 1950s; there was plenty of work to be had, but not much compensation relative to the skill and time required to maintain such fine instruments.
Today qualified watchmakers are far more appreciated and compensated accordingly. The cost of a new Rolex watch has seen exponential price appreciation in the last 50 years. The median income in the year our latest estate watch was made (1971) was around $10,000.00; the cost of the watch represented around 2% of a year’s wages. With a median Canadian income of around $64,000.00 (according to statistics Canada) in 2023, a modern Rolex GMT-Master II now costs over 21% of a year’s wages. Rolex has become far more than just a high quality watch manufacturer, they have transformed their business into one of luxury and lifestyle.
This one owner 1971 Rolex GMT Master is a testament to the quality of Rolex watches. How many consumer products can literally be used 24/7 for one’s entire adult life and then left for the next generation to use? You’ll always pay up for a good Rolex but there are far worse things you can do with some extra income. This unlikely investment was quite a surprise to the original owner when he finally decided it was time for a new home after over 50 years of ownership.
This local watch comes with its original invoice from the summer of 1971. It also comes with the mentioned 1974 service receipt from Rolex Canada. It was serviced again at Rolex Canada in late 2002. That major service included an overhaul to the self winding mechanism plus replacement of the dial, hands, bezel insert, crown, case tube, repair bracelet (new buckle perhaps), and a few miscellaneous movement parts to the tune of $994.00 (over 5 times the original purchase price) plus sales tax.
Incidentally, sales tax in Ontario increased 260% from 1971 to 2002, it seems Rolex isn’t the only one who knows how to make money. In a perfect world, we’d prefer to have all the original 1971 parts still on the watch, but we’re thrilled just the same to have a Rolex this complete with a known history. The replacement parts are genuine Rolex, just not original to the watch.
Also included is the rare GMT brochure, fully endorsed punched paper warranty booklet, original chronometer hang tag, green plastic product tag with matching serial number, 2002 service papers with carbon copy, service/travel pouch, and various other payment receipts. Notice that the penmanship is the same on the original sales invoice and warranty paper.
The original inner/outed box is complete but the spring loaded hinge is broken. Despite being over 50 years old, we have no concerns about offering a complimentary 1-year warranty on this classic dual-time Rolex GMT Master 1675. Our estate price is $20,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00343.





A cross can be basic or ornate, it’s blank canvas to express creativity, artistic expression and your faith. We have many more in stock but this one is notable because it is exactly the same on both sides. The raised knife edge profile with engraved patterns is exactly the same on both sides. It is of hollow construction but sturdy enough that it can be worn everyday on a suitable necklace. It weighs 1.2 grams and measures 26.4mm x 17.9mm not including connecting rings.
It is in very good condition, freshly polished, showing no dents or dings. We usually have a couple dozen estate gold cross pendants in stock in a variety of sizes and karats of gold. This example is estate priced at $200.00 CAD. Stock number 436-00397.

The Tudor Pelagos 39 is a remarkable watch. Constructed from titanium the Pelagos is the first series manufactured by the wholly-owned Rolex subsidiary company to be made of this exotic grey metal. Much lighter than stainless steel, super resistant to chemical attack, extremely durable but also difficult to machine.
This is Tudor’s moderately sized diver’s watch at 39mm diameter, with a depth rating of 200 meters (656 feet). The purposeful design is all business with huge luminous hands and hour markers.
Not only is the bezel “zero” index treated with glowing pigment, but the entire bezel has also been enhanced for a great display in low light no light situations. A watch designed for extreme sporting use requires a great movement, and in this respect, the Pelagos doesn’t disappoint. Tudors MT5400 sets the bar for certified chronometer accuracy levels at this price point.
There isn’t much else in the market offering a 70-hour power reserve, antimagnetic silicon hairspring, that doesn’t cost substantially more.
The snowflake hour hand and flat black paint connect this most modern Tudor with classics from the past. A clever double locking buckle with diver extension and spring loaded comfort clasp allows several micro adjustments without the need of a tool for those hot and sticky days.
This watch was purchased new from an authorized Tudor agent in January 2023 and is covered by the factory warranty until 2028. Comes with the factory black rubber strap with newt-suit extension section.
Also included are the original inner/outer boxes, instructions, and endorsed warranty card.
The watch is in very good condition showing very minor signs of use in the form of small scuffs and scratches mostly on the titanium buckle.
The Pelagos 39 is a current Tudor model and can be seen on the official Tudor website where it carries a retail price of $7,030.00 CAD. This more than capable diver/sports Tudor Pelagos is estate priced at $5,250.00 CAD. Stock #505-00570.

The price of gold has seen a significant pullback from its all time highs of close to $7,500.00 CAD in January to $5,880.00 as of June 12th, 2026. Is gold going to continue to fall or is the current decline an opportunity before it takes off again? Trying to predict the movement of precious metals and how world geopolitical events affect them is anyone’s guess these days. The cost of labor, taxes, duties, and profit, impact the price of jewellery, but the overall cost of gold has the biggest impact on what a gold chain or ring is going to cost you. Of the many gold necklaces we have in stock, this one caught our eye. It isn’t too light or too heavy, versatile length, premium 18 karat yellow gold, and made by one our favorite Italian manufacturers. UnoAerre Italy are world renowned for chain and jewellery making of the highest quality.
This example is no different, it is in excellent condition showing only a touch of wear on the end connecting links. The curb link style is super strong, doesn’t kink, and can be worn alone or with a light or heavy weight pendant. At 26 inches in length it can be worn by a man or women with room to spare. 2.4mm in width with a flat polished surface reflects the light with the rich warm glow only 18 karat can provide.
Weighing a little over 13 grams makes the chain feel significant and of value but not overwhelming. It is secured by an oversized spring ring clasp that is both sturdy and easy to operate. This chain is estate priced at $2,220.00 CAD. Stock #431-01152.

Modern technology has replaced many specialized pieces of equipment people once used individually. Flashlights, magnifying glasses, cameras, audio/video recorders, and many other items have been replaced by something that fits in a shirt pocket. The capabilities of even the most basic Smartphones are astonishing, but there are some things they have a hard time replacing. The luxury feel of a finely crafted watch is something the digital age hasn’t duplicated. When you add a specialized function like a mechanical alarm to a timepiece, watch-nerds like me get way more excited than any smartphone app could ever do. The Tudor Advisor is both a highly evolved automatic wristwatch with a calendar and an alarm clock all in one.
Like many Tudor/Rolex products, something new is often something old. The Tudor Advisor was originally introduced back in the late 1950s. The hand wind watch used a hammer to impact a pin with high frequency repetition that could be heard and felt. The alarm module’s independent mainspring meant after the alarm stopped ringing the watch would still run for well over a full day. In 2011 Tudor introduced the modern Advisor with a power reserve display for the alarm which still uses its own dedicated spring. This modern version also features a small window indicating whether the alarm is turned on or off.
A 31-day pointer calendar is another useful feature the original never had. The early Advisor alarm watches were never that popular and are seldom seen today. The modern Advisor also turned out to be a slow selling model too as it competed with the Black Bay and other more traditional models. This is the first Advisor we’ve ever had come through our estate department. These are very interesting watches, with lots to look at and make interesting conversation pieces.
42mm in diameter and more than 14mm thick are large but not overwhelming by modern standards. This watch was sold in 2021 and is one of the later models produced, the Advisor line is once again retired. This watch is in like new condition showing only the slightest evidence of wear on the case and black crocodile leather strap.
The watch is covered by the factory’s 5-year international warranty until the fall of 2026. After the factory warranty expires we will cover its trouble free operation for an additional year. It comes with its original packaging, documents, and endorsed warranty card, along with a nylon fabric NATO style strap with a signed Tudor buckle. For those looking for something unusual, the Tudor Advisor alarm watch is not a watch any of your watch friends will likely have. This watch is estate priced at $5,700.00 CAD. Stock #505-00375.

Religious jewellery is popular for its sentimentality, comfort, and the strength it brings to those who wear it. It comes to us often enough that we sometimes overlook how unique they can sometimes be. A Saint Christopher pendant is quite common among religious jewellery to pass through our estate department. This one however needed to be spotlighted for a couple of reasons. First of all the quality of this piece is evident from the second you seen it. Despite being worn for decades as a pendant on a chain, it still displays excellent detail. The front side depicts Saint Christopher who is universally recognized as the patron of all travelers.
According to legend, he safely carried a child (who was Christ) across a dangerous, raging river. Many people keep a St. Christopher medal in their vehicles, on a key chain, or on a necklace as a symbol of protection. The reverse side is equally interesting as is shows a mid 1950s automobile driving through mountainous terrain.
Making a traditional St. Christopher pendant so period specific is very unusual, and is something we’ve never seen before. Usually the back side is left blank so a personalized inscription can be engraved. For anyone who is into vintage cars and who loves to drive, this piece would make a very special gift.
It came to us from the son of the original owner who wore this pendant when they immigrated from Italy in the 50s. Aside from minor softening of the embossed details and some wear on the jump-ring from a necklace running through, the pendant remains in excellent condition. The other interesting detail about this pendant is the 1AR registered trademark stamp. The hallmark was issued by law to the Gori & Zucchi Company from the Italian province of Arezzo. The company has been around since 1926 and are celebrating their 100th anniversary this year. The province and city of Arezzo are renowned as a hub of jewellery production in Italy. All manufactures in this region require a registered “AR” trademark number. In the 1950s Gori & Zucchi officially changed their name to UnoAerre a literal translation of the 1AR trademark.
Today UnoAerre jewellery is universally respected for its high quality and beautiful designs. This pendant measures 20.3mm diameter, weighs just under 4.5 grams and was crafted in Italy using premium 18 karat yellow gold. This early UnoAerre vintage St. Christopher pendant/charm is estate priced at $1,120.00 CAD. Stock #436-00396.

It can take decades of marketing for a brand to become synonymous with a look. In the automotive world the Porsche 911 comes to mind. Whether a 1966 or 2026 model year the stylists are careful to retain certain elements of design that define the look. In the watch world the Rolex Oyster is one such watch, for Omega it’s the Constellation.
For 44 years the flagship Constellation has had a look with design components consistent with the original 1982 Manhattan model. The 4 bezel claws, Roman numeral bezel and tapered integrated bracelet have always been used in one form or another. This 38mm automatic chronometer example 123.10.38.21.01.001 is our latest Constellation featuring those iconic design details.
It’s been lightly worn and has never been touched up or refinished. There are scuffs and scratches on the case and bracelet consistent with the 2008 vintage.
Omega no longer offers this exact model but they do show a silver dial 39mm version that otherwise looks the same at $9,700.00. For close to 60% less Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers is offering the watch at just $4,000.00 CAD.
We are providing a complimentary one year warranty. Included with purchase is the perfect condition inner/outer boxes, instructions, wallet, open warranty card, and even the tissue box liner. Stock #510-00250.

In the 1960s the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was charged with the task to land a man on the surface of the moon before the end of the decade by John F. Kennedy. While many of the systems on the heavy lift Saturn rockets were electronic, NASA also required analogue and mechanical devices in case the electronic systems failed. For many timing procedures an old fashion hand wind wristwatch made the most sense.
A NASA employee purchased a variety of high end chronograph equipped watches from Dallas jewellers to test and determine if they were appropriate for NASA’s requirements. The watches were subjected to rigorous testing to their failure points under extreme conditions to determine suitability for “manned space fight”. Even the Rolex Cosmograph eventually succumbed to the testing leaving only the Omega Speedmaster that would go on the be “Officially Certified for all Manned Space Flight Missions” by NASA.
Our latest watch is an early example with the word PROFESSIONAL proudly printed on the dial and dates from 1967.
Beating away inside the 42mm stainless case is the famous Omega 17 jewel calibre 321. This slow beat (18,000 cycles per hour) movement is what every Moonwatch collector is looking for.
The 321 is the movement that was used by the moon landing astronauts. By 1969 the 321 had been retired and replaced by the 861 that was used up until only a few years ago. This example displays a beautiful stepped dial that has colour shifted to an ever so slight tropical black. We feel the dial and tritium hour plots are original. The hands have been repainted white and the original luminous material has likely been replaced, but they match the hour markers quite well.
The bezel is in great shape for an older replacement showing just a touch of fade and maintaining a mostly ding free thick edge. The 15 link stainless steel bracelet is a genuine Omega Seamaster replacement.
The bracelet is likely from an Omega Planet Ocean it fits the 42mm Moonwatch case very well and offers a secure locking buckle with extension. It remains in very good condition showing little sag and no stretch.
The watch is in very good overall condition given the age of close to 60 years. The curved lugs are a beautiful as ever and still nice and thick.
Our watchmaker has just performed a full service the the vintage 321 movement and it is running great with all features operating as designed. The October 2024 Vibrograph shows a accuracy rate well within Omega’s tolerances.
We are confident and pleased to provide the next owned with a 1-year warranty. This is quite an uncommon watch and one of only two references to have officially landing on the moon’s surface.
We see Omega Speedmaster moonwatches pass through our estate department several times a year, but this is only the third calibre 321 equipped example I can ever remember. Estate priced at $8,500.00 CAD. Stock #510-00240.

Peridot is one of the least appreciated of any gem. Good quality peridot is relatively rare yet still inexpensive. It is one of only two gems that form in the molten rock of the upper mantle and not in the earth’s crust. The only other gem that grows in such an environment are diamonds. Peridot is also one of those rare gems that can only form in one colour. When you see that unique yellowish green hue can be nothing other than peridot, unless it is an imitation. If you have a look at your peridot under strong magnification and see what looks like a lily pad inclusion, you can be confident it’s natural.
This form of inclusion is often see in genuine peridot. The cheerful colour is the ideal summer hue and is the appropriate birthstone choice for the month of August. These round diamond cut estate drop earrings showcase a pair of well matched peridot measuring 6mm diameter and are estimated to weigh 1.40 carats total weight.
They pivot and swing on the spring loaded hinged French back showcasing the unique peridot colour. A fleur-de-lit (translation flower of the lily) accent decoration ties it all together in an easy to wear package.
If you were born in August and have never really loved your birthstone, I hope you understand and appreciate this unique gem a little bit more now. The 10 karat yellow gold settings and stones weigh a combined 1.48 grams and are estate priced at $240.00 CAD. Stock #211-00272.

We have written and discussed previously the significance of the Omega Speedmaster. It was the watch selected over many other major watch brands (including Rolex) by NASA to be the watch “flight qualified” for all astronauts.
From the Gemini 4 mission and of course, the Apollo 11 mission. It was the first watch worn on the moon. In fact, the old-school hand-wind Speedmaster Professional mechanical watches were standard issue well into the space shuttle program.
The Omega Speedmaster Professional remains one of several wristwatches qualified by NASA for all manned spaceflight missions. The history of the Omega Speedmasters begins in 1957 with the introduction of Omega’s very first Speedmaster reference CK2915. A chronograph designed to be robust, sturdy, and reliable. It originally was intended to be used as a timekeeper for racing or aviation when split seconds count. The Speedmaster has evolved over the last 66 years adding more models and variations, with changes to the case shape and dial, but the original ’57 Speedmaster or pre-moon Speedmaster remained an admired and desired look. Our latest Speedmaster takes the basic concept into a more luxurious design, featuring a solid 18-karat rose gold bezel, rose gold capped centre links, and a beautiful chocolate brown dial with applied markers. The old hand wind 1861 movement has been replaced in this model with Omega’s caliber 3313.
This 37-jewel movement adds automatic winding, superior accuracy standards of certified chronometer levels, and a useful 31-day calendar. The beautifully finished movement is visible through the screw-on display back. This watch was originally purchased at Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers and has hardly been worn by the previous collector customer. It has never been polished or refinished in any way. There are a few scuffs and scratches on the bracelet from use, but nothing obvious or distracting.
The domed sapphire crystal is blemish free and offers a perfect view of the beautiful radial finish brown dial and faceted hour markers.
The adjustable length 14-link bracelet with fold-over locking buckle exhibits no sag or stretch of any kind.
This watch does not come with any original documentation or paperwork. The broad arrow hour and minute hand are reminiscent of the first Speedmasters and the red 1957 is an obvious acknowledgment of the debut year for the model.
The watch is running perfectly with all functions operating as designed. Including our complimentary 1-year warranty, this estate watch is estate priced at $8,000.00 CAD. Stock #510-00126.

Spend some time in Omega’s online museum and you’ll learn more about their watches than you’ll know what to do with. The history of the Constellation watch is surprisingly interesting; developed in 1952 to commemorate Omega’s chronometric achievements (accuracy/timing) at the world’s observatories.
The flagship line was redesigned in 1982 to the familiar looking Manhattan style which featured four bezel claws securing the crystal, Roman numerals on the bezel (for those with diamond decoration), and retaining the Cupola of the Geneva Observatory with 8 stars as a homage to the line’s beginnings on the case back.
In 1995, the line was updated with a more rounded case, slightly domed bracelet links, and a curved crystal. This member of the ’95 collection dates from 2005 and comes equipped with a factory-delivered diamond marker mother of pearl dial plus the optional and costly diamond set 18 karat gold bezel.
Made from stainless steel and 18 karat yellow gold with a 22.5mm case diameter, the watch is in very good original condition. It displays small scuffs and scratches as a testament to careful use. Its condition appears completely original with no signs of polishing or refinishing. The two-tone bracelet features a locking buckle integrating nicely with the link pattern.
The super accurate quartz movement is running perfectly and keeping excellent time. The very pretty natural mother of pearl dial displays a lovely iridescent effect as the watch is moved. This special diamond dial was a $950.00 upgrade over the basic painted dial, while the diamond bezel added $1,850.00 more. The original MSRP of this watch was $5,750.00 CAD at a time when the Canadian dollar was pretty much at par with the U.S. dollar. Omega still makes a version of this watch in a slightly larger 25mm size with a few style tweaks and a current price of $13,900.00 CAD. The contemporary model can be seen on the Omega website here. Our latest estate watch comes complete with the original Omega packaging, full documentation, and endorsed warranty card.
Including our complimentary one-year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty, this watch is estate priced at $2,700.00 CAD. Stock #510-00237.

The juggernaut within the watch and jewellery industry is without a doubt Rolex. There are other important brands within the business, but Rolex is all powerful. Love them or hate them you must respect them. Rolex, no question, is the most significant watch brand ever. Though they use scrambled serial numbers to keep production numbers a secret, it is widely accepted the brand produced over a million watches per year with revenues in the billions before the pandemic.
Hans Wilsdorf the founder of Rolex owned all the shares in his company. He had no close heirs to pass along his 100% ownership to. Upon his death he wanted the company to continue what he started. A trust was set up to run the company and oversee its operation, appropriately named The Hans Wilsdorf Foundation. In theory, it’s a charitable not for profit organization. The trust does contribute to worthy causes, but the foundation’s mandate is for the continued dominance of the brand by reinvestment and promotion. It has no shareholders to pay dividends to or distribute profits with, only a group of well paid trustees who decide how to reinvest the vast revenue. Some of the profits are dumped back into state of the art automated factories that continually update their technology. They also pay very good wages to the most talented engineers and watchmakers they’re able to recruit. No one really knows just how much money the trust has squirreled away over the decades, but it must be in the billions. There isn’t another watch company that operates in such a manner. The main function of the trust is to promote and protect the brand’s position as the number 1 Swiss watch manufacturer at all costs.
You can buy into a little bit of the enigmatic brand with this green bezel Submariner. This is the current model Submariner that everyone is after. The green bezel black dial combination has been one of their hottest models since it was introduced in 2003 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original Submariner.
The green dial, green bezel of the previous generation 116610LV is now retired and the green on black is back, with the introduction of the newest generation Submariner with a slightly larger 41mm case. Once news leaked of the new green bezel Rolex Submariner it generated an instant waiting list extending years and things haven’t changed. Demand for this and many other sports models have some Rolex boutiques no longer even taking orders, as the wait time has extended to many years. The 126610LV has earned the nickname “Starbucks” among the Rolex collector community. This watch was traded in from a long time Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers customer for something different. It was only worn occasionally, and in rotation with other watches from his collection. It does display a few light scuffs and scratches on the case and bracelet but remains in excellent condition.
These watches are trading hands on the secondary market for significant premiums over their suggested retail price. The resale market for hard to obtain Rolex sport watches is still very strong for properly priced examples. The previous owner is an important Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers collector customer with many other watches. This watch is 100% correct in every way without exception. It is missing a couple links, but does have the Glidelock buckle so it should fit most wrists.
If you need an extra link of two they are easily obtained through Rolex. It DOES NOT come with any documentation or packaging. Buying this watch in Canada will NOT trigger a 5% import duty plus significant, brokerage fees compared to importing a watch purchased out of the country. We are happy to provide the new owner with a complimentary 1-year warranty. Estate price $18,500.00 CAD. Stock #505-00503.

Modern jewellery for the most part is meant to be worn and enjoyed. Unfortunately, modern active lifestyles can prove destructive to delicate antique jewellery if worn everyday with a certain degree of caution. Antique jewellery catered to a small demographic who could afford such luxuries, and in the early to mid 1800s there were very few who could afford a diamond ring. Diamonds of any size were very rare and expensive. The only sources back then were from the “old mines” of India and Brazil. Major diamond discoveries in Africa happened later in the 17th century the lead to wider global distribution. Our latest estate item is a true antique pushing 200 years of age. Despite its age it remains in remarkable condition.
The eight rose cut diamonds and single old mine cut in the centre appear original to the ring along with the four white pearls. The black enamel bordering the stones forms an interesting eight pointed star pattern. A fine milgrain edging circles the oval outline and retains its fine original detail. A pierced gallery and forked shank round out the beautiful details of this antique ring.
Valuing something like this is quite difficult, a ring like this is far more valuable than the sum of its components due to its age and uniqueness. The diamonds weigh around 0.15 carats in total and are of SI-HI quality. The four pearls are slightly oval in outline, are of very high quality, and measure approximately 5.5 mm in length. It is quite heavy, weighing in at 10.6 grams. Hand crafted by an unknown goldsmith in 14 karat yellow gold in a finger size 6.
Our onsite goldsmiths can adjust the fit up or down a size or two for the next owner if needed. Finding a ring like this in very good to excellent condition is very rare. If you’re a fan of antique jewellery this is one that you should have a look it. Estate priced at $2,400.00 CAD. Stock #206-00672.
Most watch luxury watch manufacturers have at least one model that defines the brand. For Breitling the Navitimer is the watch that comes to mind. The aviation centric brand have been making watches for pilots for almost as long as there have been pilots. The built in chronograph and rotating slide rule bezel allow various mathematical calculations crucial for navigation, climb/descent rates, fuel consumption, speed/distance calculation etc.; all very handy for the professional pilot and watch nerd alike.
Our newest pre-owned Breitling is a very special limited edition model. This one adds an additional red pointer hour hand showing a second time zone displayed in 24 hour format.
Rolex have their Daytona Cosmograph, Omega have the Speedmaster Moonwatch; the Navitimer is the halo model for Breitling and has always been the most sought after and collectable. Our 18 karat yellow gold example is #77 of only 100 produced by Breitling making this watch perhaps rarest modern watch we’ve ever had.
You’re definitely not likely to encounter another one of these in your neighborhood. We’re happy to report this watch was originally purchased in Canada at the end of December in 2004.
It appears to be in original condition, never polished or refinished in any way. It shows only the lightest most insignificant scuffs and scratches on the case, bracelet, and buckle. It was previously worn by a very particular long time customer of ours who treats his jewellery with the utmost of care. The solid link bracelet shows zero stretch and no sag.
This is a very significant watch measuring 46mm in diameter and weighing in at 281 grams! The long bracelet will accommodate a large wrist size of up to 23.5cm (more than 9 inches).
Powering the watch is a Breitling calibre B24. This movement is a modified version of a Valjoux 7754 that debuted in 2003. Breitling tweaked and improved the 25 jewel Swiss made mechanism to achieve chronometer grade accuracy. The calibre 7754 itself is based upon the venerable 7750 that has been providing reliable service to many luxury brands for 50 years. These workhorse Valjoux mechanisms are universally respected and recognized by all seasoned watchmakers.
They often see extended service intervals of 10 years or more. While not as exotic as the new generation of Breitling’s inhouse developed line of B01 calibre based chronographs, the ease of service, reliability, and access to parts make any Valjoux equipped watch worthy of serious consideration.
The watch comes with the full compliment of packaging, documents, certificates and an extra large box.
Breitling have produced a chronograph with slide rule since 1952. To this day the tradition continues with the latest 18 karat 46mm Navitimer as shown on their website. The new model is a little more basic in design as it no longer features a dual time display, which is too bad. A dual time/Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) display comes in handy for pilots or anyone else who travels through different time zones. The latest all gold Navitimer costs a tidy $59,900.00, and weighs about 6% less than our 2004 example.
This hardly worn watch is working great, keeping excellent time, with every function operating as designed. Including our complimentary 1-year warranty, this ultra rare Breilting Navitimer GMT is estate priced at $42,500.00 CAD. Stock #515-00084.

The Tag Heuer Formula 1 has come a long way since the first versions were introduced in the 1980s. I feel you can credit the Formula 1 as the biggest single reason Tag Heuer survived the quartz crisis that put many Swiss manufacturers out of business due to the onslaught of good quality, low-cost quartz watches from Japan.
The original Formula 1 models only cost a few hundred dollars and were constructed mostly from composite materials aside from the screw on case-back. Today, the Formula 1 is truly a watch worthy of consideration by any watch aficionado. Our latest example is a personal favorite for an almost indestructible tool watch that you don’t need to be careful with. Under the super tough and durable lab-grown sapphire crystal is a beautiful matt black dial with applied markers that are super legible under any lighting conditions.
The Arabic 12 and 6 remind me of a Rolex Explorer and the classic green/red logo is something most modern Tag Heuers are lacking.
At 41.5mm it isn’t too big and cumbersome and the slightly thinner ratcheting bezel allows more room for a big dial for easy time interpretation, making this one of the most purposeful watches around. A threaded crown and case back contribute to a water-resistant rating of 200 meters.
Solid construction stainless steel bracelet with diver’s extension and locking buckle allows use in any situation. The watch is in excellent condition showing only tiny scuffs and scratches mostly on the outside edge of the case. The adjustable length solid stainless bracelet shows little wear or sag, it contains 14 links adjustable to fit a wrist of up to a little over 7 1/2 inches.
This watch comes with an extra OEM Tag Heuer rubber strap with signed buckle.
The soft rubber strap is embossed with a link pattern that mimics a the stainless steel bracelet. The watch is covered by our 1-year complementary warranty. Tag-Heuer still produce a quartz Formula 1 watch that looks pretty much the same as our estate model WAZ1110 but the black PVD bezel has been replaced with brushed stainless steel. The current version (ref:WAZ1112) can be seen online where is shows a retail price of $2,500.00. This very good condition Tag Heuer comes with its original box and extra strap but no instruction booklet or warranty card. Our price for this lightly worn Formula 1 is $1,000.00 CAD. Stock #520-00191.

Gentleman’s watches and Cartier goes back to where it all began. Wristwatches were pretty much only worn by women until Cartier designed the Santos. It was the answer to a request from pioneering pilot Alberto Santos Dumont who needed a watch while flying his precarious aircraft.
A gentleman’s pocket watch was too dangerous and awkward at the least to use while trying to control experimental airplanes. Dumont was a personal friend of the famous Paris Jeweller Louis Cartier. The Cartier “Santos” can correctly be called the world’s first true pilot’s watch. Modern men should be grateful to both Cartier and Alberto Santos Dumont or we could still be using pocket watches today.
The Dunmont W2SA0017 is the latest version of a watch that goes back to 1904 and has been in serial production for well over 100 years. Its extra large size may not be truly representative of contemporaries from other brands but this is large for a Santos. The square outline looks much larger than 33.9mm width suggests. Compared to a Rolex 36mm Oyster it actually appears larger.
The slim profile of just 7.5mm is accomplished with the help a very thin Cartier-branded version of Piaget’s ultra-thin, manual-winding calibre 430P calibre with a simple two hand display of the time only.
This remarkable little movement is only 2.1mm tall. The hand wind movement has a power reserve of 38 hours and runs at a relaxed frequency of 21,600 cycles per hour. This reliable mechanism has been in service for around 25 years. The case features a solid 18 karat rose gold bezel, sapphire crystal, beaded crown with synthetic spinel cabochon. The signature of Alberto Santos Dumont is debossed into the case back along with the serial number and other Cartier information.
This watch comes complete with everything from when originally purchased in June 2021.
It is in original unpolished condition. There are a few light shallow scuffs on the rose gold bezel and stainless steel case.
These minor blemishes go unnoticed except under extreme scrutiny. The quick release original Cartier black crocodile strap is in like new condition along with the signed Cartier buckle.
This model with a yellow gold bezel is currently available at any Cartier boutique for $14,300.00 CAD. For a sophisticated event there is nothing nicer to wearing a thin hand wind mechanical timepiece. Refined taste in a less is more package is what the Cartier Dumont is all about. This watch is covered by our 1-year warranty and is estate priced at $8,865.00 CAD. Stock #501-00238.


First come first serve. If you have any interest in obtaining vintage physical silver you know how hard it is to find this type of thing. Hand poured Johnson Matthey Canada bars are quite scarce especially at a reasonable premium over the spot price. Almost no one has these bars available in the current era of physical silver shortages. 20 ounces is a sweet spot for many collectors, far more scarce than 10 ounce bars, not too expensive, very liquid when it comes time to sell, and with a weight of 1.37 pounds, they have a great feel in your hand.
This bar is nicely marked with a unique serial number, the Johnson Matthey logo, 20 oz., 999+, and of course the JM LTD CANADA ASSAY stamp.
This bar is in excellent condition showing only minor oxidation around the edges. Priced at spot market value plus 10% (NO SALES TAX). Please add 2% if you choose to pay by credit card to cover VISA and MasterCard fees. Stock #912-01086.

Aside from being a couple years old, this is the same model currently available on Tag Heuer’s website priced at $2,300.00, except they appear to no longer offer it on a rubber strap. The other big difference you’ll notice is our hardly worn example is more than 52% less expensive. The Formula 1 has been around since the mid 1980s. It’s been a stepping stone from disposable watches with no intrinsic value to something with genuine horological history and more exotic luxury pieces.
You don’t have to look too far to see a Formula 1 on the wrist of someone around you. The F1 is a tremendously important model for Tag Heuer. When it first launched in 1986 as a colourful less expensive alternative to the brand’s traditional designs, it was credited in helping keep Tag Heuer from going out of business due to pressure from waaaaaaay less expensive Japanese competition.
Our latest estate Formula 1 has all the features a watch enthusiast is looking for, including a blue anodized timer bezel and matching blue dial.
Our Formula 1 is in original condition showing almost no signs of use use. Only the tiny scuffs and scratches can been seen under careful examination.
It remains in 100% original unpolished condition. Its could be described as new old stock or better.
The watch is running great, keeping excellent time, with all the functions working as designed. It comes with the original box and our complimentary 1-year warranty. This like new Formula 1 is estate priced at $1,100.00 CAD. Stock 520-00190.

Spend a little time in Omega’s online museum and you’ll learn more about their watches than you’ll know what to do with. The history of their Constellation is quite interesting; developed in 1952 to commemorate Omega’s chronometric achievements at the world’s observatories. The line was redesigned in 1982 launching the Constellation Manhattan which featured on its case back the Cupola of the Geneva Observatory and 8 stars as a homage to the lines beginnings.
This watch was also the first to feature the now iconic Griffes or claws on the case, originally meant to hold the crystal in place and keep the watch water tight. This member of that collection dates from 1995 and comes equipped with an uncommon silver/white linen texture dial, most were mother of pearl or champagne.
The debossed Roman numerals on the bezel have been a Constellation feature decorating the bezel since 1982. Made from stainless steel and 18 karat yellow gold with a 22.5mm case size.
The watch is in very good condition, showing only minor signs of wear. We don’t think it has even been polished or refinished. The 23 link bracelet is infinitely flexible and comfortable, showing no stretch or sag. A fold-over buckle blends into the 6 3/4 inch bracelet and features a sliding extension keeping the clasp short when closed.
It is running perfectly and keeping excellent time. This model had a retail price of $2,950.00 CAD in 2009 (the last year this model was produced). The watch is estate priced at $1,400.00 CAD and comes with a one year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty. Stock #510-00249.

If ever there was a brand that sticks to a design, it has to be Panerai. Their cushion shaped case provides the outline to every model they make and pretty much every model they’ve ever made. Differences in lug thickness, crown protection, and case sizes are really the only differences you’re going to see on a Panerai.
Since the 1930s the cushion outline has defined brand like no other. Panerai’s version of a dual time Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) watch is a little different and more simplistic than most. Their model shows a second time zone in a 12 hour format, most manufacturers show a second time zone in 24 hours. Panerai’s simple method is easier for most people to get their head around, but you still need to keep AM or PM in mind for the second time zone display. An interesting trick of the Panerai display is when you don’t want a second time displayed, or when the time zone is plus 12 or minus 12 hours the pointer hour hand disappears under the regular hour hand. Our Model PAM01321 was bought February 2022 but was hardly worn. The dark chocolate brown alligator strap with tang buckle we have it displayed with shows like new. There is not a scuff or blemish to be seen and the white stitching is blemish free. The previous owner of this watch purchased two more black alligator Panerai leather straps along with a deployment buckle. These additional accessories add approximately $1,500.00 in value.
The watch is in hardly worn condition showing only the lightest of scuffs and scratches on the polished bezel. We have not polished or refinished this watch of any way. Powering the GMT is the Panerai automatic winding calibre P.9012 chronometer grade movement with 72 hour power reserve.
The small gage at 5:00 o’clock displays the power reserve in remaining hours. Even the power reserve display has been treated to some very effective luminous material.
Included in the complete documents is an individual timing report showing the average daily rate in different positions. This watch was purchased at the Panerai Boutique in the Yorkdale Mall Toronto.
The bezel guard and Panerai signed tools are perfectly sized to swap out the buckle and remove the strap from the case with the quick release buttons.

At 44mm diameter and that iconic cushion case this watch wears large but the weight is manageable at under 140 grams with the tang buckle. The innovative canteen crown lock improves water resistance to a rating of 300 meters.
PAM01321 has been retired and updated with PAM01360 at $14,700.00 CAD. This watch has an extended eight year warranty covering it until February 2030. It is running great with all features operating as designed. Estate priced at $8,000.00 CAD. Stock #501-00412.

Our last pair of estate tanzanite stud earrings were very popular. Several of our customers expressed interest in them but unfortunately we only had the one pair, and it’s always first come first serve for this sort of item. Here is another set that are smaller but better quality. I’m sure these won’t last long either. Tanzanite are one of the prettiest gems, their ability to display different hues in the same stone depending on which direction they are viewed is remarkable. The potential colours they can display are typically rich blues, violet, reddish/purple and even yellow to green. Almost all tanzanite that make it to market are heat treated, reducing the yellow green elements and maximizing the violet blue colour for which this rare gem is most prized. Even in smaller sizes like these 4mm trillion cuts more violet can be seen when looking down the length of the stone. When viewed from the top competing blue and violet hues are evident as the they are moved. This 19 second YouTube video shows the potential colours possible in a huge uncut rough specimen. Our two tanzanite are estimated to weight 0.40 carats in total and are set into simple double gallery setting with double prongs on each corner. They are secured by snug fitting heavy gauge 18 karat yellow gold friction backs (0.4 grams).
The total weight including the stones is 1.25 grams. The set is in perfect condition. The tanzanite show no chips scuffs or scratches. They are estate priced at just $245.00 CAD. Stock #211-00285.

From their 1868 inception in Schaffhausen Switzerland by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones, International Watch Company (IWC) developed a worldwide reputation for manufacturing watches of the highest quality.
As many of the world’s great watches do, the Portuguese model came about due to a customer request. It is believed that in the late 1930s, a Portuguese wholesaler approached IWC requesting a gentleman’s wristwatch with the precision of a pocket watch.
Challenges imposed by the Second World War made the production and delivery of civilian watches difficult. According to the IWC website, barely 250 “Portuguese” watches were delivered by 1945. It turns out that the introduction of the large for the 41mm time case size was far from commercially successful. In 1993 to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the IWC brand a small run called the Jubilee Portuguese was produced. The limited edition quickly sold out and a renewed interest in the classically styled model led to the reintroduction; the rest as they say is history.
To this day the Portuguese is the model that IWC is best known for. We don’t see many IWC watches at Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers and this one is one of the nicest we’ve been able to offer in our ever changing estate collection. The classic 41mm case size is perfect for today’s watch enthusiasts. Lacking a thick bezel, the silver/white dial looks even bigger than it is. A slightly domed crystal, relatively thin profile of 12.8mm, and supple crocodile strap help contribute to an easy to wear experience. Our example is in almost new condition. It has never been polished or refinished in any way.
The leather strap with a signed 18-karat rose gold buckle looks new and is completely blemish free.
The case back still sports its protective transparent sticker.
Curiously, the bottom outside lug corners have each suffered a small impact as evidenced by these two flat dents, The previous owner never noticed them and couldn’t explain how they got there.

They go unnoticed except under close scrutiny. The simple dial layout makes for simple time interpretation. The large dial gives the applied Arabic hour markers lots of room. The highly modified Valjous 7750 serves timekeeping duties. The calendar display has been eliminated along with the 12-hour chronograph register. IWC watchmakers even moved the continuous seconds hand to the 6 o’clock position to give the dial perfect symmetry and balance. The next owner will benefit from our 1-year complimentary warranty (prorated 5 years). This watch comes with an additional 20mm high quality generic crocodile strap with gold plated deployment buckle.
The original IWC box, cloth liner, instruction booklet, service booklet, never used polishing cloth, and plastic warranty card are all included in the estate price of $13,500.00 CAD. Stock #501-00241.

This is a cautionary tale about delaying service if your watch has obvious requirements. The previous owner of this watch dropped it on a ceramic floor breaking the crystal and internal rotor weight.
The watch was still running intermittently so it continued to be worn even with the broken crystal. After submerging it in water it finally stopping entirely but was still worn for a while before it was brought in to us for an estimate to repair. By this time it now required far more than just a crystal, rotor weight, and service.
The ruined dial and extensive rust damage meant the only choice was to send it to Rolex for an estimate to repair. Rolex determined the watch required a completely new caliber 2235 movement ($5,100.00 after trading in the original), new winding/setting crown ($62.00), new lab-grown sapphire crystal ($190.00), new diamond dial and set of hands ($2,025.50 after trade in). After the return shipping fee the total cost to restore the watch came to $7,427.50 plus sales tax.
Once completed the watch would have had an approximate value of around $8,000.00. The previous owner declined the repair and sold us the watch for parts. The case is nice, the 18 karat white gold bezel is decent, the high quality diamonds have some value, the crown is good, and the Jubilee bracelet is worn but still has lots of life left.
There are likely some internal movement parts that can be salvaged too. It comes with original warranty paperwork, instruction booklet, original sales receipt etc. This might be a good project for someone who needs the parts or can find a doner movement. The damaged dial can always be refinished in a custom colour of your choice. We have it priced as is for $1,300.00 CAD. Stock #505-00645.

Maybe I’m old fashioned or maybe I’m just old, but it’s hard for me to get excited about a lab-grown diamond. While the technology is impressive, the generic experience leaves me cold no matter the size. And it really only comes down the size, because all the other characteristics associated with quality is always high when it comes to factory made lab-grown diamonds. The technology of manufacturing artificial lab-grown diamonds has been perfected and the price can only drop from here. There is nothing unique about any lab-grown diamond, if you want a round brilliant cut weighing 2.00 carats or larger of VVS-F quality (or better), our data base shows there are currently over 75,000 available priced from only $522.00 USD! The same search for a natural diamond results in only 275 examples with prices starting at around $30,000.00 USD.
Bringing the budget down to a more achievable level brings us to our latest estate ring. This custom made engagement ring originally was purchased at Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers about 10 years ago, it was recently traded in for something bigger. This traditional design has been popular for over 100 years and is still a best seller for many jewellers. Tiffany have something similar available with many different sizes and shapes but only sold with natural diamonds.
Our custom made example was crafted from 14 karat white gold in a finger size 8. It contains a good sized 1.51 carat round brilliant cut natural diamond of I1 clarity, G colour, good cut, very good polish, very good symmetry, and no fluorescence. This diamond occupies the sweet spot among natural diamonds, significantly larger than the benchmark 1.00 carat, pleasant I1 clarity that is practically eye clean, very good G colour (no yellowish tint), very good symmetry/polish, and no fluorescence.
The two tapered baguette cut diamonds on the shoulders are high quality VS-GH and of natural origin. The ring is lightly worn, in original condition, and has never been polished.
It displays some areas where the rhodium plating has worn thin. We will include a complimentary size adjustment, full refinishing along with a fresh rhodium plating for the next owner. Once this process is completed, the ring will look unworn. The original laminated Gemological Institute of America report is also included for the estate price of $6,020.00 CAD. Stock #101-00692.

Tag Heuer’s Aquaracer can trace its roots way back in the 1980s as the Heuer 2000. This was a time when the future of the entire Swiss watch industry was quite uncertain. Inexpensive good quality Japanese electronic watches were threatening the traditional Swiss market. Heuer was almost bankrupt and control of the then 120 year old brand was in the hands of their creditors.
A cash and marketing infusion by TAG (Techniques d’Avant Garde) changed the company focus. A re-launched TAG Heuer 2000 followed shortly after and the rest is watchmaking history. This example dates from late 90s or early 2000s and represents the first significant style change since the initial introduction. It’s in excellent condition with a lightly refinished bracelet.
The brushed stainless steel case and sand blasted bezel remain original. A perfect condition luminova dial is quite legible and still glows strongly when the lights go out. Simple silver framed luminous hour markers and marine style hands make time interpretation ultra simple.
I love the large Arabic 12 sitting atop the old school green/red logo.
At a relatively modest 37.5mm this watch can literally be worn by almost anyone. The ultra accurate Swiss quartz movement running inside is keeping perfect time with a fresh silver oxide battery just installed. Ultimate utility is what the 2000 series is all about. Simple and easy to read, with a large second hand and calendar display for extra function. A one way ratcheting bezel is a useful tool enabling the user to time an event lasting up to one hour. The original stainless steel bracelet is in very good condition and comes with a divers extension and flip lock buckle.
Including a one year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty the watch is estate priced at $900.00 CAD. Stock #e12321.
Smaller sized gold bullion coins are still somewhat affordable. This is a low mintage 2020 $8.00 fine gold coin manufactured by the Royal Canadian Mint. Only 5,888 of this were made and they have been sold out at the mint for years. In 2020 the price for an ounce of gold was only around $2,000.00 CAD and this coin had a list price of $138.88 at original issue. Today, an ounce of pure gold costs over $6,400.00, so our price of $388.88 is actually less expensive relative to the current gold price. The coin design was inspired by the Chinese legend as described by The Royal Canadian Mint like this: In the Chinese folktale “The Flower Dragon,” the Golden Dragon’s heart warms to a poor girl’s gift of flowers, as his own no longer grow due to his fiery breath. Soothed by her kindness, he rewards her with fortune and wealth and punishes the greedy.
As this coin in considered a financial transaction and composed of pure gold, it is not subject to any sort of sales tax. At 1.27 grams this coin contains just over 4% of a troy ounce. It comes with the original certificate/documentation, the original plastic capsule and presentation box. With such a small mintage of only 5,888, we will likely not come across another example. This coin is estate priced at $388.88 CAD. Stock #912-001070.

Rolex has always been the most popular estate brand that we offer and most of the examples we receive are larger men’s sizes. Some women wear the 34 to 36mm gent’s oyster Date and Datejust models because many feel the regular ladies Datejust at 26mm or 28mm is simply too small for that modern look. Here’s your chance to get the less common but often requested 31mm. Not too big and not too small, it’s the Goldilocks size that’s juuuuuust right.
This example is the popular combination of 18 white gold fluted bezel on a jubilee bracelet. The dial is a very rare salmon hue with 18 karat white gold applied markers and a radial sunburst finish.
The U series serial number places production of this one to 1997. Overall condition is good although the bracelet does display the expected amount of horizontal sag associated with close to three decades of use.
We have selected to leave it in original condition with scratches and scuffs.
We’d be happy to refinish and polish the blemishes away for no charge if you wish. Our refinishing service usually only takes one day. The 21 link Jubilee bracelet will fit a wrist size of up to 7 3/4 inches and can easily be made shorter by removing some links or where it is secured under the buckle.
The edge of the crystal between 12:00 and 2:00 shows some minor chipping that is common to all five digit Datejust references. The 31mm Datejust is one of the most popular Rolex models, and they still offer a similar version. The current Datejust 31 has a current retail price of $11,850.00 and comes with a pink/Roman dial, the salmon colour is no longer shown. Including our one year warranty and travel shell ours is estate priced at just $7,800.00 CAD. Stock #505-00664.
Blue sapphire come in such a range of tones and hues that desirability is a matter of personal taste and preference. As far as the industry is concerned however this cornflower blue is the most valuable available.
Lighter tones of blue partnered with high transparency allow the gem to best show off its natural brilliance. In this ring, the 1.25 carat oval sapphire is lit up by the combined 1.00 carat of diamonds that encircle it and run down the shoulders of the ring. All are of nice VS-SI-GH quality and set into 5.6 grams of brightly rhodium plated 14 karat white gold. This is one head-turning, attention-grabbing finger full of bling.
It comes accompanied by a Gemtech Certificate of Evaluation that lists an extremely high Retail Replacement Value of $11,200.00 CAD.
Our realistic opinion of a competitive replacement value is closer to half of that. As an excellent condition estate ring, we have it priced at $4,200.00 CAD. Stock #131-00002 e11779.
Stainless steel rules the roost when it comes to luxury Swiss watches. Brand new or in the secondary market, stainless steel always seems to be in more demand than two tone models. For certain brands finding a stainless steel sports watch means getting on a waiting list, being in the right place at the right time or paying a large premium for a used model. If you’re into the watches you know the brand I’m referring to. If you’re considering a luxury watch why not get one with some premium quality, luxury 18 karat gold trim?
This Tag Heuer offers all the features of the entry level stainless steel versions but adds some luxury bling in the form of a solid 18 karat yellow gold bezel and subtle 18 karat gold capped highlights in the links. This Link Chronograph does not come with any paperwork but we feel it is one of the later versions as it comes with the upgraded display back and double push button buckle release.
Earlier examples looked outwardly the same but had a solid case back and a simple interference snap buckle with flip lock. Looking back at an old 2007 authorized agent catalogue shows this model had a retail price of $4,395.00. Later Canadian catalogues still featured images of this model but no pricing as it was not available in Canada. Tag Heuer doesn’t offer a current version of anything close to this watch; in fact, the Link line has been whittled down to just 10 different models, all in stainless steel only. I wonder if the Link line that traces its roots back 1987 with the first S/el (sports elegance) is about to be completely fazed out. That would be too bad as the original wishbone link design has come to define a key model for Tag Heuer for 39 years. Our latest previously enjoyed Link CJF2150-0 is in very good and original condition. The solid 18 karat yellow gold bezel has never been polished or refinished. It displays light scuffs and dings.
Being solid gold we can easily restore it to like new appearance the same day if you wish. The gold 18 karat gold capped (20 microns) link highlights are fully intact showing no wear through. The iconic wishbone shaped bracelet shows some scratches but no wear, stretch or sag of any kind.
The 12 hour, 3 register chronograph mechanism is working great and keeping excellent time. Luminous hands and 31 day calendar add some extra utility.
The powerhouse contained within the 42mm, 200 meter water resistant case the Calibre 16. This 25 jewel movement is a modified and nicely decorated Valjoux 7750, not the Sellitta SW500 found in newer Calibre 16 Tag Heuer chronographs.
The silver/white cream dial is textured with a subtle diagonal striped pattern in the centre and circular graining on the chrono registers. A sandblasted finish can be seen running in the hour track while an even finer flat finish covers the sloped tachymeter scale around the outside dial edge. Tag Heuer placed a lot of importance on the quality and look of this face.
The link style debuted over 30 years ago in the S/el (Sports Elegance) series. The name has since changed to Link but the look that practically defined the dressier Tag Heuer style for decades may be coming to an end. This example comes with its original black lacquer box. It is running well, keeping time, and all the functions are working as designed. A complimentary 1 year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty will accompany the watch for the next owner. Priced at $3,333.00 CAD. Stock #520-00114
High quality and beautiful design never go out of style. The diamond cluster has been around in one form or another for hundreds of years. Round, oval, pear, square, marquise, or any other shape you can imagine look good when built in proportion with high grade ingredients. Our latest estate ring showcases an unusual cornflower blue natural sapphire. The pear shaped centrepiece measures a lavish 8.0mm x 6.6mm x 4.2mm and is conservatively estimated to weigh at least 1.66 carats. Its colour can be described as medium intense blue with a hint of violet.
The ballerina moniker comes from the baguette diamonds in the cluster that are set at different heights in a scalloped edge bezel resembling the multiple silk layers of a ballerina skirt. We’ve only had a few true ballerina rings over the years and this one is one of the prettiest. 26 baguette cut diamonds make up the halo frame resulting in a overall dimensions of 15.3mm x 12.3mm. The high quality (VS clarity with HI colour) diamonds do a great job of contrasting the violet/blue sapphire centre stone. We were surprised to find out this ring was completely rhodium plated over the original rich warm hue of premium 18 karat yellow gold.
The previous owner must have preferred the look of silver/white precious metals over traditional yellow gold. After we started polishing the ring we notice the original warm yellow gold coming through the rhodium as we polished through it. There are still some remnants of the rhodium plating on the bezel, inside the cathedral shoulders, on the shank edge, and inside the band. We left it looking mostly like a white setting with yellow shank design, but we can remove most of the left over rhodium or replate it with white rhodium again to suit your preference. This is a premium quality sapphire with an intense colour you don’t often see.
Most commercially available sapphires are an inky dark blue colour with little value. It’s too bad most people don’t get to see sapphires of this quality. The ring measures a finger size 6 and can adjusted up or down by one of our onsite goldsmiths as requires. There is a ton of value in a ring like this for the estate price of $3,500.00 CAD.

This premium quality engagement/wedding ring set was crafted in Canada by award winning designer Noam Carver in Montreal. Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers is proud to be the exclusive agent for Noam Carver in the area. In a previous life the centre diamond came in this white gold swirl style ring from Canadian jeweller Charm Diamond Centres.
It was their finest offering, featuring an eye clean 0.92 carat SI2-H Canadian diamond as the centrepiece. This Canadian diamond was cut as well any we’ve seen, with very good polish, excellent symmetry, and no fluorescence. It has been laser engraved with a unique registered serial number confirming its Canadian origin. The ring must still be a good selling design as it is shown on their website with price of $10,990.00.
The previous owner decided to reset the sparkling Canadian diamond in the Noam Carver setting in 2022. They selected traditional yellow gold but in top of the line 18 karat purity.
The crossover braid design is delicate and very flattering leaving open areas between the narrow sections of shank. 58 tiny full cut diamonds decorate the engagement ring.
Each stone hand set using 4 individual beads of gold, no simple shared claw settings used here. This setting (model number B004-03YS-100A) can be seen on the Noam Carver website showing a price of $2,851.00 USD without the centre stone. In upgraded 18 karat gold using SI1-GH diamonds the cost for just the engagement ring setting (no centre diamond) is $4,752.00 CAD. The engagement ring comes with a matching wedding ring. The wedding ring adds 33 additional small diamonds. They fit together with puzzle piece precision without any gaps. The current price for the wedding ring from Noam Carver is $2,797.00 CAD. Each ring is engraved with a serial number allowing Noam Carver to update any changes to the rings should they need sized or repaired in the future.
The rings were made in a size 5 1/2 but can be adjusted up or down a size or two if needed. They are in like new condition, sold new from Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers in 2022 but didn’t see much use. Replacing the wedding ring and engagement ring without any centre diamond would cost $7,549.00.
As a like new estate set we are offering them as a pair only including the knockout Canadian centre stone for only $7,500.00 CAD. They have been lightly polished and come with a Noam Carver ring box. Stock Number 101-00577.
If you are considering diamond hoop earrings, you might as well go all in with a pair that features diamonds on the inner surface as well as the outer surface. The fully dressed look adds some extra cost for more diamonds and extra labor to set them but in our opinion the results are well worth it. This pair of earrings may be estate in nature but they are very contemporary and look like they’ve never even be used. The factory applied rhodium plating is completely intact, giving the 14 karat gold a bright white finish.
The durable construction gives the interference locking posts a sturdy anchor point that closes with excellent security. All totalled the earrings contain 80 round brilliant cut natural diamonds estimated to weigh 1.00 carat in total of I1-HI quality.
They measure 30mm in diameter and weigh 4.3 grams in upgraded 14 karat white gold. Ready to go in our traditional blue presentation box. Estate priced at $1,200.00 CAD. Stock #151-00274.
Buying a significant diamond is unlike almost anything else you can spend a paycheque on. The economy of scale doesn’t really work with diamonds as it does with other items. There is a general rule when it comes to the price of diamonds and it goes something like this; as the size doubles, the price quadruples and sometimes more. For example, a nice 1.00 carat GIA certified, VS2-F, excellent cut, excellent polish, excellent symmetry, none fluorescent, round diamond sells for around $5,500.00 CAD (if competitively priced). A 2.00-carat version of the same quality goes for over $30,000.00. Up that to a 4.00 carat and you’re talking about $140,000.00. Big diamonds are exponentially more rare than small diamonds, and finding one of high quality ups the rarity factor much more. It’s always exciting for us when a large natural diamond arrives in our estate department. This 4.28 carat whopper is cut exactly the same as a tiny diamond weighing only 0.01 carat. Every round brilliant cut diamond has 57 facets regardless of its size. Big diamonds are more attractive because they have more surface area for sparkling reflections. The bigger the diamond, the longer it takes for light to travel inside and then exit in a rainbow of dispersion much more than a small diamond could. Few jewellery stores carry diamonds much bigger than about 1.50 to 2.00 carats. Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers usually have some in the 3.00 to 5.00 carat size. Even if you don’t think a big diamond is for you, you should have a look at a large, well-cut, good quality, diamond, and find out just how contagious our excitement is. Our latest diamond has a lot going for it. Eye clean VS2 clarity means no blemishes or inclusions can be seen without artificial magnification.
A very good cut, excellent polish, very good symmetry and no fluorescence make this diamond sparkle like a disco ball. The M colour displays a very slight yellow hue but far less than the M colour grade may lead you to believe. The Gemological Institute of America report is your assurance of impartial quality assessment. NEVER accept anything but a GIA report. Many other certificates and appraisals can be biased and sometimes downright inaccurate. There is no substitute for a GIA diamond grading report. If you’d like a second opinion of quality, this diamond also comes with an International Gemological Institute (IGI) report stating the quality as VS2-L (one colour grade higher than that of the GIA). Let’s make an incredible ring together using this diamond. With all the hype and popularity of lab-grown diamonds, the price of large natural diamonds has remained remarkably resilient. A lab-grown diamond of this quality can be easily be sourced for well under $1,000.00 USD. Our onsite goldsmiths and designers are eager to create something truly remarkable to showcase this beautiful stone. You can see a short YouTube video of this diamond here. The diamond comes with its original laminated GIA report and a copy of the IGI report. We have this diamond currently set in a 14 karat gold custom made solitaire setting (size 8).
This diamond and setting are priced below their wholesale replacement cost, dealer enquiries are always welcome. Stock #191-00026 e14313.

This is the very popular Tudor ranger. Newly designed in 2025 to much fanfare among Tudor enthusiasts. The throwback design looks the the Rangers from the 1960s but this one is a very comfortable 36mm in diameter and only 11.2mm in thickness.
It may look retro-vintage but this ranger showcases many features the originals lacked. The movement powering this classic field watch is Tudor’s own design that is fully manufactured in house. A 70 hour power reserve is close to twice of the original movement that was sourced from an outside manufacturer. Tudor claim this movement to be “weekend proof”, take it off on Friday night and it will still be still be running on Monday morning.
The accuracy levels of the MT5400 mechanism is well above the minimum standards for chronometer certification. Tudor claim this 27 jewel automatic winding mechanism is accurate to -2 to +4 seconds per day! Tudor have opted to keep the dial uncluttered and simple. Their is no mention of the chronometer grade movement within the Oyster case. Just the necessary information for clear time interpretation.
A few Arabic numbers just like the originals and stick markers plot out the hours with a subtle minute track on the outer edge. The markers and hands are treated with some of the most luminous stuff on the market, turning night into day when the lights go out.
A domed sapphire crystal looks like the original plastic but is hundreds of times harder while offering superior optics. The solid link bracelet showcases a fliplock buckle with 5 micro adjustments cleverly concealed under the buckle.
Tudor call this the “T-Fit”, allowing up to 8mm of extra length for those hot humid days. You can adjust the fit on the go without the need of any tools.
The headline is correct, this watch is only 2 weeks old as of this post. It was worn for less than two days before the owner decided it wasn’t for him. We are now offering it for a slight discount under its replacement price. It comes complete with the original inner/outer box, documents, endorsed warranty card, 5-year international warranty (less 2 weeks).
The warranty is valid for the next owner until March 30th, 2031. In addition to the box and paperwork, the watch comes with some extra accessories normally not included. It comes with a small and large travel pouch, snap closed folding wallet/card holder, a very cool key chain featuring the Tudor shield logo, snowflake hour hand, rose logo and belt loop clasp.
A hard cover 100 2026 product catalogue and Tudor shopping bag completer the package.
The watch is in perfect condition. The only blemish we found is a small witness mark on the brushed finish of the threaded case back where the inside of buckle touches. This is the first of the new 36mm Rangers we’ve showcased in our estate collection. The watch is estate priced at $4,750.00 CAD. Stock #505-00660.

This watch is a snapshot in time, a glimpse back into the style of the era. A gold watch from the 1930s would have been a very big deal close to 90 years ago. Something like this was only available to a select few that could afford such luxuries. The the world was recovering from the great depression and Europe was on the verge of war. This is a very rare Tudor cocktail watch crafted from “solid” 14 karat white gold as the case back stamp proclaims.
Most watches from this era were only gold plated. Many Rolex, Omega, Longines and others were only gold-filled (very heavily plated) back then. Our watch goes a bit further with the application of 18 hand set single cut natural diamonds circling the dial and on the lugs.
The silver “explorer” dial itself appears original showing oxidation and patina but clearly displays a vertical wave pattern from new.
Powering this little watch only measuring 14mm in width is a hand wind Swiss made movement with 17 lab-grown ruby jewels that act as low friction bearings. These little movements are surprisingly robust and quite accurate given their tiny dimensions. It appears to be well maintained as there are numerous service etchings from over the decades scribed inside the case back.
I think the best part of its history is the dedication engraved by hand on the case back. This would have been a very memorable gift for a 10 year anniversary and most appropriate as 10, 30, and 60 years are considered “diamond” anniversaries.
The previous owner must have had a very slender wrist as the black silk cord strap is quite short. Fortunately we have lots of silk cord on the original spools, likely from the same era as this watch. Black, grey, moss green, and brown reflect the muted wartime colour pallet of the times.
We’d be happy to supply a new period correct cord strap in the colour of your choice using the original buckle and safety chain.
Also included with this almost antique Tudor is our one year complimentary warranty. Working well and estate priced at $1,100.00 CAD. Stock #505-00662.

Very cool, retro Rolex Datejust 36mm 1603 with “Buckley” service dial installed when the watch was fully serviced at Rolex Canada in August 2022. Hardly worn since servicing and in very good condition. If you didn’t recognize the vintage details, you’d think this watch was only a couple years old. For those in the loop, the tall plastic crystal, long retired engine turned bezel, open 6 date ring, simple interference locking buckle are features not seen on any Rolex for years. We are happy to include a one year warranty for the lucky new owner of the classic white Roman dial Datejust 1603. Estate priced at $5,500.00 CAD. Stock #505-00258.

The only Canadian team left in the playoffs are the Montreal Canadians; and the last time a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup was 33 years ago in 1998 when Montreal did it! Let’s hope this little charm brings some luck this year. This little figure measures 17mm tall, weighs 0.88 grams, and has been cast from 10 karat yellow gold.
It has been bright cut against a sandblasted finish giving him/her some sparkle. It could be worn on a necklace or bracelet, or even a key ring. If you have someone who’s crazy over Canada’s official winter sport, this would make a great gift. Incidentally, did you know Canada’s official summer sport is Lacrosse, which is basically hockey without the ice. The pendant is in Excellent condition. The 5mm connecting ring shows a small amount of wear from a chain running through that left a shallow groove. We have 100s of new and estate chains necklaces that will compliment this pendant of you don’t have one. Estate priced at $158.00 CAD. Stock #436-00392.

The House of Gucci has been around since 1921, starting off as producers of luxury leather goods. From bamboo handled hand bags to the red and green striped logo on watches dials and accessories, the Gucci brand is one of the world’s most well known.
Vintage Gucci has been far more popular than we could have ever imagined. The interchangeable bezel watches of the 90s sell within days when we spotlight one on our website. This elongated rectangular bangle style model 1500 is another classic from 20-30 years ago. This example is in very good to excellent condition. There is little evidence of use except for the most insignificant scuffs and scratches on the flat surfaces, and a couple tiny scratches on the crystal that almost disappear with the radial finish sunburst silver/grey dial. The fold-over locking buckle is virtually blemish free.
The high quality, fully jewelled Swiss quartz movement inside the 12mm wide case is running flawlessly.
There is still a protective case back sticker in place.
The watch does not come with any original documentation or packaging. The solid link hinged bangle bracelet is a small size measuring a little over 6 1/4 inches; this watch is only going to fit a lady with a slender wrist.
We are please to include a 1 year warranty for the next owner. Estate priced at $400.00 CAD. Stock #501-00446.
The Greek key is a repeating geometric motif that has been used on buildings, decorative arts, jewellery and clothing for centuries. The Pattern represents infinity, unity, and the eternal flow of life, symbolized by a continuous line folding back on itself. It’s the perfect template for use on a ring or bangle like this with no beginning, ending, front, or back. This 14 karat yellow gold hinged bangle bracelet measures 6.2mm wide with an inner circumference of seven inches.
The endless bangle design is very convincing as the hinge and clasp are blended seamlessly into the pattern. There is no need for a safety chain as the locking tongue is also the safety and will not extend beyond this position, so it’s impossible to fall off your wrist.
The bracelet is in like new condition without any dents or dings. The bright cut Greek key pattern shows in strong contrast against the pebbled sandblasted finish. It has been crafted from upgraded 14 karat traditional yellow gold and weighs just shy of 8.5 grams. It comes in a hinged Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers presentation box. Estate priced at $1,500.00 CAD. Stock 441-00445.

Common quartz is one of the most abundant minerals on our planet. In various forms it represents more than ten percent of the earth’s crust by volume. Most natural quartz is unattractive and opaque, looking like just about any other rock. In high quality gem specimens it can form in a brilliant array of colours. The most coveted variety of the mineral quartz are dark saturated purple/violet amethyst and Madeira citrine. Typical citrine are mostly orangish-yellow with medium to light saturation.
Madeira examples take it up a notch on the spectrum to reddish-orange and are highly saturated in intensity. They are among the rarest of quartz varieties, mostly coming from Brazil. This is the colour gem connoisseurs associate when it comes to top quality citrine. Our estate example came to us in a heavy gents ring.
We didn’t love the design, so we carefully removed the stone and recycled the gold to create something new. This large 17.60 carat stone remains in perfect condition. The original ring it was set in couldn’t have been used very often or this relatively soft stone would have likely exhibited some signs of wear. new. It measures 17.6mm x 17.25mm, about the same size as a dime.
It would make a stunning pendant or large dinner ring. It comes with a older appraisal from January 1984 describing the original ring setting and gem.
If orange is your colour and you like unusual natural gems with lots personality this vivid Maderia quartz may be the perfect template to create a unique piece of jewellery. Estate priced at $500.00 CAD ($28.40 per carat). Stock #271-00021.

There are so many fantastic watches available. Many with rich histories going back more than a century. In fact, more than a few Swiss brands have been producing timing devices for longer than there have even been wrist watches. It’s too bad so few brands get the notoriety they deserve in North America. Ulysee Nardin is certainly worthy of consideration to anyone looking for an amazing watch with a great history of producing some amazing time pieces.
They have a background dating back to the mid 1800s. The company was famous for building some of the world’s most accurate marine chronometers. Before there was electronic timing equipment these highly accurate wind up timekeepers were an essential tool for celestial navigation on the open sea. Accuracy wasn’t a luxury, it was a life or death necessity. Before the digital world of GPS positioning, knowing where you were relied on precise time, a clear star filled sky, a sextant and a good deal of operator skill. Developing incredibly accurate ship clocks was a daunting task given the environment they operated in. Accurate time was an essential factor for knowing where you were in the vast open oceans. In keeping with their nautical timing history the Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer 353-66 offers all the features one would expect from a rugged and durable watch. Super sturdy stainless case offering water resistance to over 600 feet.
Threaded crown and chronograph pushers screw into the case ensuring moisture stays out and the time or chronograph can’t accidentally be changed/stopped. The beautiful concentric ring and matt finish chocolate brown dial with luminous hands and markers is in itself a small work of art.
The calendar and continuous seconds hand add some useful utility. An exquisitely machined bezel resembles the reeded edge of a coin and can often be found on many antique pocket watches.
The tiny date aperture cut into the dial is magnified with a lens affixed to the inside of the crystal making the date appear larger than it is. This feature is not unlike the Rolex Cyclops magnification lens but executed in a much more subtle way. The beautifully manufactured 57 jewel ETA 2892-A2 that has been modified to Ulysse Nardin specification with chronograph module is visible through a transparent lab-grown sapphire case back window.
A folding locking titanium buckle keeps the soft brown rubber strap secure and adds a modern look to the 41mm watch. The previous owner purchased an genuine Ulysse Nardin brown crocodile strap with signed deployment buckle. The leather strap is extra long and will accommodate a wrist size of up to almost 10 inches.
This watch is lightly worn original condition. The case has never been polished or refinished in any way. The only signs of use are some small scuffs on the rubber strap and titanium buckle. A few light passes with a green Scotch-Brite pad will have the buckle looking like new.
Comes complete with all the original packaging, beautiful brown lacquer box, instructions, wallet etc. all in perfect condition.
It’s working great, keeping excellent time with all functions working as designed. Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers will provide the new owner a complimentary 1-year warranty covering all aspects of mechanical failure and defects. The current version of this watch has the familiar Mariner look but is a bit larger at 43mm, comes with a calendar that only needs reset once per year and comes with a €13,600.00 ($21,900.00 CAD). Our estate price for this classic Ulysse Nardin is $6,400.00 CAD. Stock #501-00418.
The Rolex Datejust is the watch that made Rolex a household name. Still in production today, this is the single most popular model Rolex has ever created. Cosmetically speaking this model has changed little since it was introduced to commemorate Rolex’ 40 anniversary way back in 1945. More than 80 years later it’s still in style and still in demand by people from all walks of life by both men and women.
The watch transcends fashion styles that come go and is admired by every generation. If you are looking that looks good today and will always be welcomed back to trade, there is no better than any Rolex Datejust. The name Datejust may seem a bit awkward, but it makes perfect sense given some thought. Most watches slowly mechanically turn over the date display starting around 10:00pm taking several hours to fully turn the disc to reveal the next day of the month. Rolex produced a quick turn mechanism advancing the date in the blink of an eye within a few minutes of exactly midnight. This seemingly simple process makes the date display absolutely true and “just”, hence the unusual moniker.
Modern Rolex production is estimated at around one million watches per year making a contemporary Datejust very common. This wasn’t always the case. It took Rolex 60 years to produce its first million watches total production of all models. According to the 1,429,680 serial number and as per the case back stamp, this example was produced some time during the 3rd quarter of 1966.
When some people see the made in U.S.A. bracelet, they think the watch (or at least the bracelet) is a fake. This is not the case. Rolex produced many of their bracelet in the U.S. to get around steep import tariffs applied to non American produced watches.
American made Jubilee bracelets can easily be recognized by the oval profile links.
In the early the mid 20th century there were plenty of made in the U.S.A watches that benefitted from this protection. Today, every one of those original watch brands are out of business despite the protectionist actions. Some of those old American watch brands have been revived, but only in name as foreign buyers bought up the bankrupt companies and intellectual property for pennies on the dollar. Our latest Rolex Datejust 1603 features a 26 jewel self-winding movement calibre 1570 tuned to chronometer specifications for accuracy.
18 karat yellow gold hands and hour markers display the time on greyish/brown dial showing some interesting patina. The stick hour markers are a little different than just the typical flat hash marks, they have a peaked centre with four polished facets on the surface.
The classic 18 karat yellow gold fluted bezel framing the dial provides a functional seal compressing the plastic crystal against a flange on the bezel. This pretty feature isn’t just an iconic styling detail, it keeps this watch water-resistant.
The rest of the watch is high grade stainless steel that wears up well to all of life’s day to day challenges. This watch is in good condition for a 60 year old example. It is running well, keeping very good time with all functions working as designed. The Jubilee bracelet will accommodate a man’s (or woman’s) wrist size of just shy of 8 inches or less.
We are happy to provide the next owner a complimentary 1-year warranty. You can still find a 36mm Datejust with an 18 karat white gold bezel on the Rolex website for $12,850.00 CAD. Ours vintage estate model is priced at $4,390.00 CAD. Stock #505-00657.
Anything from the brand with that iconic robin egg blue box is something special. These Tiffany “Open Heart” floating pendants would make a wonderful gift for any mom, any mom to be, or someone very special. The floating heart design has been around for decades. Tiffany esteemed designer Elsa Peretti embraced the concept and made it her own. Even though the Italian jewellery designer passed away in 2021, her creations live on with her flowing creations that are still among Tiffany’s most popular.
Tiffany Open Heart products include everything from a $240.00 silver baby feeding spoon to a diamond pave set gold brooch selling for $58,000.00. The timeless design can be worn on the supplied necklace, a light silk cord, or almost any chain you may have. It can be worn on either side, tilted to the left or the right.
There is no wrong way to wear an open hear necklace. Our estate pendants are crafted from premium 18 karat yellow gold or sterling silver. They measure 35mm wide in gold and 22mm in silver.
The gold heart comes with a rather long 30 inch rolo style chain and the silver one comes with a 16 inch.
The gold heart is of solid construction and surprisingly hefty, weighing in at a little over 14 grams including the chain. Both pendants are in excellent hardly worn condition, and neither appear to have been polished. The yellow gold pendant and chain show minor oxidation from years of not being worn. This patina can literally be removed in less than 30 seconds by gentle rubbing with a polishing cloth. We thought we’d leave it alone as testament to its lightly worn then put away history.
The 35mm gold version has been replaced with an even larger 50mm example that comes with a $13,800.00 price tag. A silver 36mm Open Heart on a silk cord necklace is available for $1,250.00. Including those famous blue boxes, our like new estate Open Heart pendants are priced at $4,200.00 in gold 436-00388 and $267.00 in 0.925 sterling silver 651-00182.
Silver heart has been sold.
We still feel new gold watches offer very good value given the high cost of gold relative to current prices on new models. The value of gold has risen around 230% over the past two years, but the price of a flagship gold watch from many of the major Swiss manufacturers has only gone up only around 20%. Manufacturers don’t adjust their prices as quickly as commodity prices rise or fall. Slow and steady price increases regardless of market conditions are how the world’s finest watchmakers flatten out the price curve of their products made from precious metals.
Even if the price of gold takes a multi year pause or even drops, we feel pricing of gold watches will continue to increase disproportionately, as watchmakers play catch up to much higher material costs. We are also observing what appears to be cases of “shrinkflation” as a means of controlling higher input costs. Our latest 18 karat gold Omega had a USD MSRP of $45,500.00 and weighs 217 grams. The closest current version of this watch comes with a retail price of $42,200.00 USD ($55,200.00 CAD) but weighs 28 grams less at 189 grams. While we feel buying a new gold watch is still good value these days, estate gold watches can be even better. This estate Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra ref: 231.50.39.22.02.001 is in hardly worn condition.
It is shown in unpolished original condition, still with a factory applied protective sticker on the back of the buckle. It measures a comfortable 38.5mm diameter and weighs just under half a pound!
It’s amazing how much 18 karat gold weighs when used in generous amounts. Showing a few scuffs and scratches mostly on the highly polished surfaces, it looks like it was only worn occasionally. The bracelet shows no sag or stretch.
When closed, the locking butterfly clasp integrates perfectly with the bracelet. Omega was really thinking when they engineered this buckle by adding a white gold latch. White gold is harder than rose or yellow gold adding some extra longevity to the spring loaded locking buckle.
The teak concept pattern on the silvery/white dial was designed by Omega to recall the wooden decks of luxury sailboats and it’s been boldly accented with 18 karat rose gold luminous dial markers and hands.
Precise microscopic parallel etchings on the hands and hours markers disperse reflected light in a subtle rainbow effect that is memorizing to see and can’t accurately be captured with our limited photography skills.
The fine details, finish of the dial and applied hour markers are second to none in the industry. The real achievement of this watch stands at the 3 o’clock position, a month/day calendar display that automatically recognizes months that don’t have 31 days. To account for the short month of February, the date only ever needs to be corrected once a year on the first of March. Compared to satellite technologies found in many quartz watches that globally position themselves accounting for changes in time zones, this annual calendar may not seem like much. Considering this annual calendar with instantaneous date jump has been incorporated into an already complicated certified chronometer movement, featuring a 55 hour power reserve, silicone hairspring on free sprung balance, two spring barrels mounted in series, and automatic winding in both directions, this very intricate mechanism is quite an accomplishment.
The sophistication of Omega’s Co-Axial Calibre 8611 allows the watch to run longer with more precision between services. A basic version (calibre 8601) is used in the entry level stainless steel Annual Calendar models, the luxury finish 8611 features a solid 18 karat rotor that not only looks beautiful, it also provides more torque to the winding train. The solid gold balance bridge in also exclusive to this calibre and is pretty much just a lovely aesthetic upgrade. The beautiful movement can be viewed beneath the antireflective sapphire crystal on the screw on case back. As expected from a Seamaster, this watch is water resistant to a useful 150 meters or 500 feet.
It is a pity Omega have decided to no longer offer the Annual Calendar Aqua Terra. They are currently only showing a basic date display (no month display) that requires calendar correction every month that doesn’t have 31 days. This watch comes with the Omega lacquer finish blond wooden box and travel pouch, but does not come with any original documents. The watch is running perfectly and keeping great time. We are happy to supply the new owner with a complimentary one year warranty. Estate priced at $36,000.00 CAD. Stock #510-00232.

Mariner or anchor chains always have the bridged stud connecting the sides. On an anchor chain used to moor a ship, the stud provides an essential purpose increasing the strength of the link, preventing the chain from deforming or stretching under heavy loads, it also stops the chain from kinking or becoming tangled in the chain locker. On a necklace or bracelet the stud is mostly decorative but in theory it would also increase each link’s strength. On this 7.4mm wide estate necklace, every sixth link is the distinct marine style with five oval links links in between.
It is of hollow construction but still weighs nicely over 20 grams. The 14 karat construction is a nice balance of heavily alloyed 10 karat gold (actually contains more silver than gold) and premium/costly 18 karat gold. The 24 inch length should easily fit most gentlemen and is suitable to wear with or without a pendant. This is a very distinctive design and one we haven’t encountered before. It is in excellent condition showing no wear on any of the links. Secured by a heavy lobster style clasp equipped with a swivel base that can freely rotate. This necklace is estate priced at $3,480.00 CAD.

This pair of serpent bracelets were likely made a little over 100 years ago at the beginning of the Art Deco design period. The hand crafted snakes are fully articulated along the entire length of their tapered bodies with approximately 30 separate joints in each.
They are spring loaded and will tightly hug your wrist, just like the real thing. Measuring over 1/2 an inch at the midpoint of the body, these are substantial bracelets that will not go unnoticed.
Both are made from 14 karat gold and have been bezel set with emeralds, diamonds, rubies, amethyst, and garnet. All the gems are natural and of average quality.
We just don’t see jewellery like this very often. Pieces like this are tremendously time consuming to make, they can only be made by hand, by highly skilled jewellers. The scaled bodies have been completely hand etched (another time consuming task). They are both in very good condition. The spring loaded bodies show no loose, weak, or worn areas. The connecting rings securing the the charm sections show zero wear.
I don’t recall ever having pieces like these before. Admittedly snakes are not everyone’s cup of tea, but it it hard not to be impressed by these antique bracelets. If you love bracelets and antiques, this is a rare opportunity to get something unique. Their flexible nature means they should fit almost any women’s wrist. The emerald/diamond/ruby snake weighs 51.3 grams and is estate priced at $7,350.00 CAD (stock #214-00086), and the amethyst/diamond/garnet snake weighs 66.1 grams and is estate priced at $9,037.00 CAD (stock #214-00087). These bracelets are irreplaceable.
Expertly crafted in luxurious 18 karat yellow gold, this striking ring presents a refined elongated octagonal design that exudes both structure and sophistication. Although the piece is a modern creation, it draws deeply from Antique-inspired Art Deco design, capturing the bold geometry, sculptural volume, and expressive elegance that defined early 20th-century jewellery. Featured at the heart of the ring, a richly saturated oval sapphire (approximately 2.5mm x 4.0mm in size) sits atop the ring bezel set in yellow gold displaying a velvety, cornflower-blue hue with remarkable depth and allure. A scintillating halo of pavé-set diamonds totalling 0.20 carats surrounds the centre stone, introducing a luminous contrast of bright white sparkle and amplifying the ring’s overall brilliance. Radiating outward from this central composition, a meticulously arranged array of calibre-cut baguette sapphires in various dimensions forms the outer frame of the octagonal design.
These elongated tapered baguette stones are set in a precise, sunburst-like formation, evoking the impression of cerulean rays beaming from the centre. This dynamic configuration creates a mesmerizing interplay of light and movement, as each sapphire captures and refracts light in a subtly shifting display, lending the ring an almost kinetic quality when worn. The juxtaposition of the deep blue sapphires against the glittering diamonds and the warm, burnished tones of 18 karat yellow gold results in a composition that is both dramatic and harmonious. The thoughtful craftsmanship, evident in the elevated setting techniques and openwork of the under-gallery, further enhance the ring’s dimensionality allowing light to permeate through the stones to reveal both the depth of colour and dazzling interplay of light.
Weighing a robust 5 grams overall, this ring offers a satisfying presence while remaining quite delicate on the finger and comfortable for daily wear. Its bold yet balanced proportions, coupled with its radiant, architectural design, make it an exceptional statement piece. Currently a size 6 with room to adjust up or down, it is a compelling addition to any fine jewellery collection. Representing exceptional value at the estate price of $1,500.00 CAD. This ring offers a rare combination of modern craftsmanship with a nostalgic sensibility, resulting in a design that feels both enduring and refreshingly distinctive. An ideal choice for those who appreciate evocative design, richly saturated gemstones, and the enduring charm of Antique-inspired elegance reimagined for the present day. Stock #206-00533.
There are few watch brands with a longer history and more significant achievements than Longines. Since the earlier part of the 1800s, they’ve consistently produced high-quality timepieces. Early on the company experienced great success in the United States with chronographs used for precise timing during sporting activities. They were making watches with certified chronometer accuracy levels well before the turn of the 20 century.
In keeping with the company’s sporting tradition, our latest estate watch by Longines features a very easy-to-operate and interpret 3 register 12-hour chronograph display. The silver dial with large hour markers and hands is also very legible with the added tachymeter scale for calculating units per hour with a range of 56 to 2000. A small continuous seconds hand and calendar add more utility. The 42mm solid stainless steel case features a large display window in the case back revealing the beautiful Longines 27 jewel calibre L683.2 (modified Valjoux 7753).
It is keeping great time with all functions working as designed. The watch is in very good overall condition. The bracelet and case are showing a few shallow scratches that can easily be removed if you’d like us to do so at no charge. The full complement of adjusting links allows the watch to fit a wrist of up to just under 9 inches. Including a Longines box and a 1 year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty, the watch is estate priced at $1,700.00 CAD. Stock #501-00290.
We’ve seen rings inspired by Rolex watches multiple times before, but we’ve never a ring with obvious design motivation from the Tag Heuer Link and Sports Elegance (S’el) series of watches that were so popular in the 1990s. The fully jointed two tone bracelet link sections have been reproduced in miniature scale on the shoulders of the ring. Even the bottom section of the shank looks similar to the fold over watch buckle.
This solid gold “buckle” section is handy for us if we need to adjust the size 10 ring. The top of the ring looks just like the two-tone watch case. Secured in a coin edge bezel that resembling the rotating bezel of the watch is set a round brilliant cut diamond estimated to weigh 0.50 carats.
The diamond isn’t of the finest quality but it does an admirable job of sparkling as the ring is moved. Our experienced Gemologist has assigned an I1-OP quality with a good cut to the diamond. This ring is a complicated design consisting of 26 individual 14 karat gold pieces painstakingly assembled in Italy by a highly skilled craftsman. This sturdy ring weighs a significant 12.6 grams. Estate priced at $2,000.00 CAD. Stock #116-00074
Our pictures came out a bit hazy for this diamond and though it does have some haze it really is very pleasant looking in person. Its grade-setting inclusions are a collection of small black and white crystal inclusions and delicate twinning wisps (crystal growth planes), with only the darker inclusions showing up without magnification. The 1.00 carat diamond is of course an I1-H quality with a good cut.
It’s accented by 12 channel set round brilliant cut diamonds of SI-H quality, that bumps the total weight of the ring up to 1.25 carats. The solidly constructed ring weighs a significant 5.0 grams in 14 karat white gold. It is in like-new condition still retaining its original chromy white rhodium finish and measures a finger size 6. The estate price is $3,899.00 CAD. Stock #101-00370.
Superior craftsmanship meets sophisticated design with this luxurious Mikimoto pearl and diamond pendant and earring suite, masterfully rendered in rich 18 karat yellow gold. Showcasing the heritage and uncompromising standards of the world’s most celebrated pearl house, this coordinated set embodies timeless elegance and refined femininity. Each piece is thoughtfully designed with a delicately sculpted abstracted heart-inspired motif in polished 18 karat yellow gold. Accented by a halo of meticulously set round brilliant-cut diamonds of VS1 quality and F colour each motif exhibits refined sparkle, texture, and dimension while maintaining perfect harmony with the luminous pearls below.
The suite features three beautifully matched lustrous, AAA quality, Akoya pearls, each suspended beneath a diamond-accented gold heart-inspired emblem — one on the pendant and one on each earring. Each pearl selected for their exceptional beauty, near-perfect surface quality, overall roundness, high lustre and radiant orient with soft, flattering overtones. Their mirror-like luster is enhanced by the suite’s articulated design. Graceful hidden hinge mechanisms allow each pearl drop to move fluidly and independently, maximizing light reflection and enhancing the natural sparkle.
The 30 natural round brilliant cut diamonds are graduated in size for added complexity of design weigh and estimated 0.50 carats of VS1-F or better quality. They sparkle and twinkle with every movement. This subtle articulation not only adds visual interest, but also exemplifies the exquisite thought and craftsmanship behind the design. The pendant is suspended from a delicate 18 inch, 18 karat yellow gold chain, subtly complementing the motif while allowing the pearl drop to drape elegantly at the neckline.
To get an idea of Mikimoto design and style, surf over the their website and have a look at the current jewellery selection. The set may be delicate looking, but they are quite robust in construction weighing a combined gross weight of 13.2 grams.

Audemars Piguet, Vacheron & Constantin, and Patek Philippe are considered the holy trinity of luxury Swiss watches. Of the 3, Vacheron & Constantin’s mid-century models are an underappreciated rarity and bargain. Between 1940 and 1970 V&C produced less than 5,000 watches per year according to serial number sources. During this period, Vacheron & Constantin had a policy of producing no more than 24 examples of any reference with a specific dial, making this 35mm, 18 karat yellow gold model scarce to say the least.
In continuous production since 1755 has earned the esteemed brand from Geneva the honor of being one of the world’s oldest watch manufacturers. We have only seen a handful of VC watches pass through our estate department over the past 60-plus years. It is always a treat when one shows up once every other year or so. Our latest estate watch measures 34.7mm in diameter. This size is somewhat deceptive and wears larger than you’d expect. Pictured beside a 36mm Rolex Datejust, it appears the same or even slightly larger because it features a larger dial without a thick bezel.
The 18-karat yellow gold case is hallmarked with the image of Helvetia. Helvetia is the female personification of Switzerland in much the same way Lady Liberty represents the United States of America. The G part of the stamp signifies the city of Geneva.
The attention to detail and movement finish is an important Vacheron & Constantine tradition. The beautiful 17-jewel automatic winding calibre 477/1 is running great and keeping good time. This movement is hand finished with côtes de Genève and finely beveled plates. This was VC’s first self-winding movement and is housed in a water-resistant case equipped with a screw-on case back.
While not intended to directly compete with a pedestrian Rolex Datejust, it was VC’s do it all design of the 1950s. The bumper rotor provides a unique wearing experience as you can actually feel the rotor weight bounce off its 2 spring bumpers through wrist movement. The original champagne dial has turned a rich toffy colour over the years with an almost complete even patina. The gambler dial features hour markers shaped like card suits, clubs, and diamonds along with Arabic 12 and 6, all connected by a traditional printed minute track.
The sweeping centre seconds hand adds a touch of utility bringing the design away from a pure dress model. As per our usual practice, we’ve elected to leave the gold case in its original unpolished condition. There are scuffs, scratches, and dings on some of the exposed edges that are appropriate for a watch approaching 70 years of age. The large, fancy lugs are the most defining characteristic of this model and contribute to more wrist presence than you’d expect.
They’re far more substantial than what you’d usually see on a watch of this size. Their proportions appear less significant with grooved and stepped details. Their sculpted profile arcs low keeping the strap in contact with the wrist.
Attached to the watch is a new, 17mm Hirsch strap with a gold plated buckle. We will supply an additional strap of your choice at no charge if you’d like a different style or colour. Including a complimentary 1-year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty, this rare watch is estate priced at $8,160.00 CAD. Stock number 501-00136 e14658.

We’re not known for a great selection of sterling silver jewellery. Most of the silver we buy and sell is in the form of coins and bullion. Once in a while we get a great silver item that needs to find a forever home. This puffy Gucci link is one of those items that should be showcased to a wider audience than just our walk in customers.
Although it is hollow it still weighs a substantial 21.7 grams. The connecting rings are solid, only the puffy sections are hollow. I don’t think you’d want a bracelet of this design made solid as the substantial extra weight of the large links would prematurely wear out the smaller connecting rings. This is truly a case of less is more. This is a good sized bracelet measuring 12.mm wide and 9 inches in total length.
It will fit most wrists, and is suitable for both women and men. It can easily be shortened to smaller more averaged sized wrists. It’s in excellent condition showing no stretch or worn sections. Secured by an easy to use oversized lobster clasp. We just gave if a light polish to reveal its bright white finish. Sterling silver is far more white than white gold and does not require rhodium plating, just the occasional cleaning and perhaps a light polish if you want to maintain a mirror finish. This timeless Gucci link design bracelet is estate priced at $250.00 CAD. Stock #651-00179.

No one knows exactly now many watches Rolex produce on an annual basis but it is thought they make close to 1 million. The look of a Rolex watch is fairly constant but references come and go every 10 years or so. The Datejust has been around over 80 years and was introduced to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Rolex. Model 116334 s notable for a few reasons.
It was the first Datejust to measure larger than 36mm. Larger watches are what people want and Rolex finally supplied a bigger option in 2009 with the Datejust II. The DJ II was only around until 2016 when it was replaced by the Datejust 41. While people snapped up the DJ II, many felt the classic balance of the original 36mm was lost with the thick bezel and bulky case. The replacement model addressed these concerns with a slightly thinner bezel in both smooth and fluted varieties. The case thickness didn’t change much, only 0.3mm thinner but the case edges did, making the newer model on the left appear significantly thinner.
Our retired first generation 41mm has the rather uncommon factory supplied diamond hour markers on a rhodium sunburst dial.
The exception quality single cut diamonds are secured in 18 karat white gold settings. Our latest estate Rolex has had only one local Barrie owner but only comes with a 2026 Replacement Value Certificate form the Rolex authorized agent who originally sold it new.
It remains in worn but 100% original condition. It has never been refinished or even polished in the slightest way. The solid 18 karat white gold bezel is quite sharp and crisp showing some impact marks and scratches.
We can easily refinish/polish the stainless steel case and bracelet removing any scratches, but we always let the next owner decide whether or not to leave it original or tidy it up.
For a conservative brand like Rolex this dial offers some sparkle and why not, this is a luxury item. Including our complimentary 1-year warranty this uncommon and retired specification Rolex is estate priced at $12,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00656.

We just don’t have enough hours in the day to properly post some of our watches. We thought we’d give you a sneak peek at a few interesting watches that are available now. As always we have more watches and jewellery in stock that hasn’t or will not make it to our website.
1996 36mm Rolex Datejust 16220. Complete documentation, packaging, and a very interesting patina on the silver dial that has shifted the colour to a very pale olive/champagne hue. Very cool. $7,300.00 CAD. 505-00334
1998 40mm Rolex Submariner 14060. No box or papers, but with the sought-after “SWISS only” 1-year dial. Always a collectible model. $10,800.00 CAD. 505-00335 SOLD
2006 41mm Omega Seamaster 300 2531.80.00. The “James Bond” watch. Nice condition with a pristine box and most of the original documents, recent factory service. $3,680.00 CAD. 510-00102 SOLD
39mm Tag-Heuer Link. Classic Tag for someone just getting into the hobby. You can’t go wrong with this low-maintenance quartz. No box or documents but in excellent condition. $1,000.00 CAD. 520-00087 SOLD














Of all the arts, carving has to be the most stressful for the student and even the master. You can always add more paint to cover mistakes and practicing music until muscle memory makes perfect repetition almost second nature. But with carving, it’s pretty hard to recover from the error of removing a bit too much or pushing too hard. Many arts start from nothing and continually add until completion. With carving, it’s all about removing and removing until the subject is revealed.
If anyone feels that jewellery isn’t a true form of art, have a look at these hand carved cameo brooches and necklace. Traditional cameos like these are hand carved from conch shells.
The composition of the natural shell allows a master artist to take advantage of the coloured layering. Cautious and calculated carving can showcase shadows, highlights, and textures in the subject revealing fine details that separate an average carving from an exceptional one.
Remove a little too much and you risk breaking through the shell or cracking it and starting over from scratch. The shell thickness in these examples range from close to 4.5mm to just 1.6mm; thin enough to easily transmit light through.
The karat gold frames are bespoke for each shell as the curvature and dimensions are always a little bit different.
The bezel settings on the two convertible brooch/pendant cameos are decorated further with a twisted rope edging that is often seen on these antique designs.
They both feature a fold away bails for pendant use that remains unseen until needed.
The pin hinges fasten securely with integrated safety clasps.
Without disassembling it’s impossible to determine the exact net weight of gold content of each, but we can estimate with reasonable accuracy they contain 4.2 grams 10kt., 6.7 grams 14kt., and 13.1 grams 14 karat. These iconic jewellery/art items are estate priced at $600.00 231-00398, $1,200.00 231-00407, $3,000.00 CAD 131-00036.
Pilots have always considered wristwatches as more of an instrument or tool than an accessory. A quality wristwatch can be used to calculate flight time, air speed, or even distance, therefore the quest for a more precise and more accurate wristwatch was not only just a personal preference but a necessity. Heralded as one of the most advanced chronographs on the market, the first Breitling Aerospace was released in 1985 under the Navitimer moniker.
Although there were a few Anadigi (watch with both analog and digital displays) models on the market it was unusual for a LCD watch to have a polarization-sensitive dichroic filter. This enabled the LCD to display time in “inverted mode” which meant “gold” text with a dark background.
The 42mm case as the original model is made of high grade titanium which is a metal commonly used in aviation for its strength and lightweight.
This watch’s single push crown design and digital display allow the wearer to view the alarm, second time zone, date, countdown timer, and chronograph functions without having to switch from viewing the analog time. The Minute Repetition function, with a series of chimes, allows the wearer to know the time with a push of a button and without having to even look at the watch, the backlit function of the digital display is not functioning.
This one-owner watch is in very good condition showing only small scratches and scuffs on the case and bracelet. The full-length bracelet shows very little sag.
It comes complete with the original inner/outer box, instructions, and chronometer certificate. Including a 1 year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty. Model E79362 is estate priced at $3,000.00 CAD. Stock #515-00078.

I can’t think of a better gem to pair with bright white sterling silver than royal blue lapis lazuli. The small square tablet stone measures approximately 1 square centimeter, likely weighing around 3.50 carats. The rich colour of the ancient stone really stands out against the silver frame.
Often lapis forms with yellow specs of pyrite and less saturated greyish sections, each lapis is unique in appearance. This one is almost completely blue on the top surface. Only a couple of tiny pinpoint bits of pyrite can be seen and no greyish pale sections. Italian born Elsa Peretti was a jewellery designer who often collaborated with Tiffany producing many unique and memorable designs.
Some of her silver ring designs can still be seen on the Tiffany website with prices starting at $695.00. This “Splash” creation has been retired and is not often encountered on the secondary market.
The smallish size ring measures a 4.5 but could be adjusted larger if needed. It is in excellent condition, the genuine lapis lazuli is perfect, not showing even the slightest scuff (front or back)
. It comes with that iconic drawstring travel pouch for the estate price of $255.00 CAD. Stock #651-00178.
Always wanted a nice Swiss watch? Checked out the price of a new Rolex lately? The most basic gents model in stainless steel now costs $8,950.00 for the 41mm version. If you want one with a calendar display, that adds $2,350.00. Trim it with a solid gold bezel and you’re up to $14,750.00. If you’d like the luxury of a day of the week display, the price rises to $60,800.00 CAD for the 40mm version and it’s only available in solid gold. For under 4% of that cost, we present our latest Swiss estate watch; the Tag Heuer Link Day-Date WJF2050. This 18 karat yellow gold and stainless steel model is the brand’s more sophisticated, from the Link series of watches.
Incorporating the sporting features you’d expect from Tag Heuer but integrated into a more refined experience.
Curved synthetic sapphire crystal, threaded crown/case back, solid link bracelet construction with locking buckle, luminous hands and markers, and a beautiful striped silvery/white tapestry dial.
Powering the watch is Tag Heuer’s Swiss-made 25 Calibre 5 movement features a day of the week display at 12:00 o’clock, and a day of the month display at 6:00 o’clock beautifully framed. The thoughtfully placed calendar showcases the watch’s perfect balance and symmetry. The quick beat (28,800 cycles per hour movement) is visible through the clear display window case back.
It is not the Sellita cloned movement that comes in most modern Tag Heuers, this one is the original ETA 2834-2. The watch was used as a reliable daily timekeeper for a client of ours for close to 10 years before it was recently traded in. It is displaying the expected degree of wear and tear appropriate for its age and is in very good overall condition.
The mechanically locking safety buckle integrates nicely into the bracelet link pattern; bracelet condition is excellent aside from light scuffs and scratches associated with use. It shows next to no sag and zero stretch.
The gold-capped trim sections on every link are fully intact, the solid 18 karat yellow gold bezel displays a few light scratches and minor dings but can easily be polished up like new while you wait. This watch only comes with our private label presentation box and is lacking original documents. The watch is running well and all functions are operating as designed. Included with purchase is a complimentary 1-year warranty. The watch is estate priced at $2,450.00 CAD. Stock #520-00038.
The race to the bottom is on, and like every product of technology the price falls as efficiencies are implemented. Industrial scale factories can produce high quality lab-grown diamond crystals in only a few weeks. The rough crystals are then typically cut by low cost labor regions in India and China. After cutting they are distributed around the world to an eager market looking for big sparkle at a low price. Our latest estate item is this large 3.09 carat lab-grown diamond displaying a fantastic VVS1 clarity and a slightly warm (natural looking) K colour. The cut is very good with dimensions of 9.35mm x 5.70mm. Most lab-grown diamonds come with a laser etched girdle identifying their origin. Often these larger stones are accompanied by a lab report number, this diamond does not come with an engraved girdle or lab report. Without an engraved girdle there is no simple or reliable way to identify this diamond as a lab-grown. Without a lab-grown diamond screening machine, determining whether natural or lab-grown is an almost impossible call for any jeweller. Even a well trained Gemologist with experience can’t distinguish natural vs. lab-grown diamonds without accurate interpretation from information gathered using optical tools or an expensive screening machine. Large modern lab-grown diamonds are truly that convincing, but they are still only worth around 1% of what a natural costs. A natural diamond of this quality will run you closer to $50,000.00. It’s not hard to understand why lab-grown diamonds have been so popular over the past few years. This diamond is in perfect condition without even the slightest scuff. The estate nature of this one makes it less expensive compared to buying a new one. If you miss out on this one, we can supply another of the same size or bigger/better (VVS1-H) for around $1,100.00 USD. We don’t expect this one to last long at just $500.00 CAD. Stock #191-00212.

We have steady requests for any estate Rolex Submariner. Especially popular are models made exclusively from stainless steel. The versions with a date display are by far the most sought after by our customers. For those who have been asking, here is your chance to pick up a classic vintage Submariner.
This is the somewhat uncommon 16800 “transition” model that marked many significant upgrades over all previous Submariners. The 16800 introduced a sapphire crystal, quick-set calendar setting mechanism, high beat 28,800 cycle per hour movement (calibre 3035), improved water-resistance rating 50% higher than the previous generation, and a new one-way bezel timer.
The 16800 only stayed in production for around 10 years before being substituted by the stopgap 168000 that was offered for less than a year. Overall condition of this example is pretty decent. The 11 link Oyster bracelet shows some sag and a bit of stretch big but has a decades of life left in it.
The bezel and buckle are genuine Rolex service replacements. The original tritium dial and hands are in excellent condition and show just a hint of even parchment patina.
The watch is working great, keeping time, and comes with our complimentary one year warranty.
There are no original documents or packaging included with this watch. If you’ve been looking for a Submariner Date, this is a good opportunity to pick up a blue chip example that is always welcomed back on trade if you ever want to upgrade.
Running great with all functions operating perfectly. Including our one year warranty and travel case this watch is estate priced at $12,900.00 CAD. Stock #505-00637.
It’s just around the corner, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are coming up fast. These cute little pendant/charms can be worn on a necklace or bracelet. They can be attached to a key chain or just kept as treasured memento. Both are crafted from durable 10 karat yellow gold and weigh 0.81 grams (Dad) and 0.70 grams (Mom). They each measure around 18mm in height not including the connecting rings. Mom is brightly polished, and Dad has a sandblasted texture with bright cut edges. We don’t think either has been worn as the jump-rings have not been soldered shut and they don’t show any thin areas. Your choice for the estate price of $105.00 each. Stock #436-00382 (Dad) and 436-00383 (Mom).
The Omega Marine Chronometer was, and is to this day one of the world’s most accurate watches despite the fact it’s 50 years old. Today you can buy some pretty inexpensive, incredibly precise quartz watches that get a signal from an orbiting satellite to stay synchronized. These watches are globally compromised as some locations on earth can’t receive these celestial signals.
The Omega Marine Chronometer doesn’t require any external influence to keep time within 1 second per month. It achieves this rate without the use of any thermal compensation circuitry. This level of accuracy is roughly 10 times better than a basic quartz watch. The remarkable ability to keep such accurate time is the amazing Omega calibre 1516.
The quartz crystal contained within this 13 jewel movement vibrates at an incredible frequency of 2,359,356 Hertz. Nearly all quartz watches rely in a frequency of just 32,768 Hertz. That automatic Rolex on your wrist runs at just 8 Hz. (no wonder it doesn’t keep great time). Back in the 1970s quartz technology was very expensive and no one knew exactly where this curious new space age technology was going. Some manufacturers virtually abandoned traditional mechanical watches in favor of this electronic science. Omega invested considerable money into quartz technology that today many luxury watch brands hardly use. Our example has two factory applied model numbers inside the case back of 198.0082 and 398.0832.
Not only did this watch hold the title of world’s most accurate watch for decades, it also was the first watch with a jumping time zone feature. This complication allows the changing of the hour hand without affecting the minutes or seconds; a useful feature for any world traveller.
It’s a chunky watch measuring 44.25mm X 32.5mm and 11.75mm thick. The slightly curved rectangular case is very comfortable and the bracelet links are quite flexible. If your wrist size is any larger then 8 inches we’ll have to source out and extra link or two.
Omega’s Marine Chronometer is a hugely important part of watchmaking history and this is only the second example we have ever been able to offer through our estate department. Even when we were Omega authorized agents in the 1970s we never sold a single example of this watch. This could be due to the fact it cost about 3 times the cost of most other Omega models.
We believe our example to be a one owner example that was originally purchased in Hong Kong. It was fully serviced by our master watchmaker in 2022. To our knowledge the case and bracelet are in original condition looking practically unworn, showing virtually no wear.
The watch comes with a period correct (not the original) vintage inner and outer box. Including a one year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty the watch is estate priced at $5,700.00 Canadian. Stock #510-00032.

It’s called a SuperOcean for good reason. It’s a “super” capable diver watch with everything the sport watch aficionado could be looking for. One of the most impressive things you’ll notice is the water resistant depth rating on the dial of 5000 feet; no wonder this watch is known as Orange Abyss.
That depth rating should be plenty for the typical recreational diver who is not likely to exceed any more than 100 feet. Overbuilt in almost every way the 42mm watch also is equipped with a helium escape valve. It’s another feature that 99.9% of divers will never need.
It is there just on the off chance you decide to do a really really deep dive that requires living in a diving bell breathing a mixture of helium and oxygen for an extended period of time. Pressurized helium gas can penetrate the case gaskets, build up inside the case and push the crystal out if the watch isn’t equipped with a helium escape valve. It does make for an interesting conversation point if someone asks what the little button on the side is for.
The rest of the watch is typical high end stuff. Certified chronometer grade automatic winding Swiss movement, super hard curved synthetic sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, threaded crown/case back, one way ratcheting timer bezel, thick highly luminous hands and hour markers.
These SuperOcean models are mostly seen with basic black dials. They were also available with red, yellow, and blue coloured chapter rings around the edge of the dial. Only the orange version like this one was produced as a limited edition run of just 2,000 pieces.
The overall condition as very good for a watch that was purchased new in 2013.
It remains in original condition and appears unpolished. The colour matched black and orange strap is in fair condition.
An accessory stainless steel bracelet is available from Breitling should you wish to change the look. The watch comes with every piece of original packaging, warranty card, certificates, instructions, booklets etc. Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers will supply a 1-year complimentary warranty for the next owner. Estate priced at $3,500.00 CAD. Stock #515-00091.
It’s not uncommon for us to sell unusual, rare, and collector diamonds like this to American wholesale companies. That trade has come to an end as U.S. tariffs on incoming goods have made diamonds like this more expensive for American consumers. Okay Canada, here is your chance to pick up an exceptional, internally flawless, fancy yellow diamond for below its wholesale replacement value. This diamond has a lot going for it. Fancy yellow colour with no modifying brown hues, even colour distrubution, desirable shape, perfect clarity, GIA report, and amazing value. Most fancy yellow diamonds are cushion shaped as it tends to conserve more of the original weight compared to straight edged truncated corner radiant cut like this one.
It has been graded internally flawless, meaning there are no inclusions visible using 10 times magnification by The Gemological Institute of America. GIA are are the undisputed authority when it comes to all things gem and gemology. Their unbiased opinion of quality is the industry standard. Every important diamond should be accompanied by a GIA report. The full report can be seen online here. This diamond was graded by GIA over 20 years ago but was never assembled in a piece of jewellery. We’d love to custom design a unique ring or pendant for you to showcase this remarkable stone.
We currently have this stone advertised on the world’s most comprehensive wholesale database, but those pesky U.S. tariffs will likely limit this diamond from selling to an American customer. It is available for $5,000.00 CAD with no tariffs or duties; only applicable sales tax. We encourage anyone interested in this diamond to shop its credentials to determine our below wholesale claim is accurate. Dealer enquires are always welcomed. Estate price $5,000.00 CAD.

If a Rolex, Breitling or Cartier just seems a little too pedestrian and you desire something a little more exotic, how about an IWC Schaffhausen? Not only is it a fun name to say, it’s one of the true great watch manufactures that is more than just a well marketed brand. From their 1868 inception in Schaffhausen Switzerland by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones, they developed an international reputation for manufacturing watches of the highest quality.
International Watch Company Aquatimer IW3767 is one of the more sporting models offered. It’s a full sized watch with a bezel diameter of almost 46mm. Purchased new in 2011 at an authorized IWC agent in Aruba. The watch looks is in very good to excellent condition, no refinishing of any kind has ever been done on the watch.
Only the most minor evidence of use can be observed. The sharp bevelled and polished lug edges are crisp.
Is is uncommon to see an Aquatimer with a stainless steel bracelet, most of these watches are seen on a rubber strap. Just like the rubber strap version, the original bracelet is equipped with a clever quick release system allowing removal without tools in only a few seconds.
Threaded crown, pressure fit lab-grown sapphire crystal, and threaded crown contribute to a water resistance rating of 12 atmospheres; more than enough for any sports watch. Bright luminous hands and markers are very easy to read in daylight or dark situations. Simple stick markers and thick hands add to the legibility. As an added extra party trick, the one way ratcheting bezel sapphire coated bezel is also treated with two colours of luminous material.
A slightly curved synthetic sapphire crystal with a special double sided antireflective coating is a luxury touch even Rolex don’t do. The sapphire bezel insert won’t fade and is much harder than any metal alternative. Included with purchase is the original box, endorsed warranty card, instructions, polishing cloth (never even unfolded) and link removal tools.
When the quick set 60 minute bezel timer isn’t quite enough, an easy to use 12 hour chronograph timer adds extended timing capability along with more accuracy. Including a one year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty the watch is estate priced at $5,900.00 CAD. Stock #501-00415.
My soccer career ended when I was around 14 years old after our Firenze Restaurant team finished runner up to the undefeated Buns Master Bakery squad in the Barrie City championships for our age group. Soccer is the world’s most popular sport; it’s widely accessible, has low costs, and is simple to play but difficult to master. It’s estimated that around 40% of the world’s population are considered fans of the sport. Did you know that until 1970 most soccer balls were brown. Following the action for televised matches on small black and white TV sets of the era was very difficult; even more so when the ball became wet or dirty. Adidas created the “Telstar” (short for “Television Star”) for the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. Its 12 black pentagons and 20 white hexagons offered high contrast and made the ball’s movement easier to track. The high visibility pattern was also useful for players, helping them see the ball’s rotation and improve foot placement.
Our 10 karat yellow gold soccer ball doesn’t display the exact Adidas Telstar pattern, but it will never be mistaken for anything other than a soccer ball. It measures 16mm in diameter and weighs in at 2.75 grams.
Crafted from sturdy 10 karat yellow gold, this pendant will last a lifetime. The FIFA World Cup is coming in June 2026. This charm might be bring luck to your favorite country’s team. Canada is ranked 30th for this years event. With some luck and a few favorable bounces hopefully we have a respectable showing as a participating host country. This pendant/charm is in like new condition showing zero wear on the bail or movable joint. Estate priced at $375.00 CAD. Stock #436-00372.

Another classic three stone design. Although a smaller 5.5 finger size it’s surprisingly heavy at 6.5 grams. Made from premium 18 karat white gold with full tall shoulders explains the extra weight. Most rings like this would weigh at least a few grams less and be made from less pure 14 karat gold. A very nice 0.60 carat round brilliant cut diamond of VS1-G quality is flanked by two smaller 0.17 carat SI1-HI diamonds. The 3 diamonds weigh a conservative 0.94 carats in total. If removed from the setting and physically weighed I wouldn’t be surprised if together they weighed 1.00 carat in total. A triple ridge shank design helps hide any scratches that may appear with regular use. The ring is a few years old and is in great condition. A complimentary size adjustment and fresh rhodium plating will have it looking like new and conceal the soft warm white hue all white gold alloys naturally have. Estate priced at just $3,780.00 CAD. Stock #101-00188 e9583.
Get yourself a gold watch while the prices are still cheap. We feel this statement accurately reflects the current market prices of luxury gold watches, especially used and vintage watches. Consider the simple fact that basic commodity cost of raw gold has more than tripled over the last 7 years, but the retail pricing of most brands has risen only by around 50% on gold watches. Take for example the classic Rolex Day-Date 36 128238. In 2019 the retail price was $36,250.00 CAD; today the same watch cost $55,300.00 CAD. During the same time period (2019-2026) the price of gold has exploded from $1,800.00 per ounce CAD to over $6,500.00 per ounce.
It is of our opinion that manufacturers will accelerate price increases on gold watches until they better reflect current commodity costs. Another scenario that makes sense would be to increase the production of stainless steel models and and slow down the production of gold watches, lessening the impact to the bottom line or maybe even stop making gold watches all together. Whatever happens, one thing is for sure, we are seeing fewer and fewer solid gold watches pass through our estate department. Our latest gold watch is this beautiful Panerai Radiomir 1940 3-Days reference PAM00575 crafted from 18 karat rose gold.
This model was introduced around 8 years ago and came with a USD retail price of $18,100.00. Most Panerai we see are very large, very thick, and make a bold statement. While the 18 karat rose gold Radiomir isn’t small at 42mm, the thin 11.5mm profile and short lugs make for an easy the wear watch. 
Not a true sports watch yet not exactly a dress watch either with an instantly recognizable Panerai face that is all function. A matte black sandwich dial with oversized Arabic 12,3,6, large hash mark hour indexes, all treated to some of brightest luminova you’re going to encounter.
The Panerai “Sandwich” dial is a unique detail that gives many of their watches a special look with a practical advantage. An exquisitely pierced dial is layered on top of a luminous disc that glows from the bottom.
This layered manufacturing technique allows maximum luminous properties without a large surface applied frame to stabilize the delicate glowing material. In the daylight this makes the hour markers appear sunken below the dial surface. In the dark the hour markers explode in a luminous display that is much brighter than you’d expect given the actual area of luminous material. Powering the Radiomir is a proprietary in-house manufactured 21 jewel hand wind mechanism. When fully wound this beautiful movement can power the watch for 3 full days. Many of the 152 components used in calibre P.1000 are visible through the case back display window.
This movement measures less than 4mm in thickness and features an unusual fly-back hacking seconds hand. When the threaded crown is pulled out fully into the setting position the small subsidiary seconds hand at 9:00 o’clock instantly flies back to the 60 seconds position.
This is a thoughtful detail for synchronizing the time with an audible time signal. This watch was delivered in Canada for an authorized Panerai agent in the late 2019 and comes complete with all of the original packaging, documents and endorsed warranty card.
It has hardly been worn, never polished, and looks like new old stock. The top grade black crocodile strap is blemish free and shows no evidence of use. Attached to the strap is a signed Panerai 18 karat rose gold buckle that is secured with a threaded screw.
The watch is running great and keeping excellent time. There is definitely something special about the wearing experience of a gold watch. The added density of 18 karat convey a genuine feeling of luxury. The gross weight of the watch including the strap is a significant 100 grams.
We are happy to provide the next owner with a no charge 1-year warranty. If the price of gold continues to rise it’s just a matter of time before production costs will result in retail pricing almost no one can afford; and those who can, they may refuse to purchase because the perceived value may be difficult to identify. $17,000.00 is quite a bit of money, but priced by the gram this gold watch and many other solid gold watches offer some genuine value. Get em while you still can. Stock #501-00395.
EFFY Jewellery turns up in our estate department from time to time and always proves to be popular with our customers looking for high quality well made fashionable jewellery. Effy use better than average components for their creations.
This never worn ring is great example of what they do so well. Solid construction upgraded 14 karat white gold weighing over 3 grams. Typically we’d see simple baguette cut, inky dark blue sapphires in this style of ring. We’re happy the Effy decided to showcase much more flattering more complicated princess cut natural sapphires showcasing a beautiful bright royal blue hue. The seven 2.5mm x 2.5mm sapphires are contrasted 12 tiny round brilliant cut natural diamonds that have been bead set into the bar settings providing some sparkle.
This ring appears to be in unworn condition.
The original factory bright white rhodium finish remains completely intact. This ring in a current offering in Effy’s website where it is priced at $2,545.00, they suggest it has an estimated retail value of $3,635.00. We have this size 7 ring estate priced at only $1,092.00 CAD. Stock #206-00669.

Sometimes Mother Nature can produce jewellery better than any human jewellery designer/goldsmith. The beautiful natural form of this gold nugget is surely why it was spared from being refined after it was discovered. Gold is thought to be around 4.5 billion years old and was likely delivered to earth by asteroid impact. Gold can’t be formed on earth, it was created in stars and scattered across the universe before the our solar system even existed. What makes this nugget specimen especially attractive is the relatively even distribution of what we believe to be translucent quartz crystals trapped inside.
A small connecting ring and jump-ring were soldered to the top to allow it to be worn on a cord or chain necklace. The nugget measures approximately 19mm tall and weighs 8.5 grams.
It’s a beautiful wearable object and maybe even be a decent long term investment that will appreciate with the price of gold. This one of a kind natural work of art is estate priced at $2,000.00 CAD. Stock #436-00358.
Pricing jewellery in an ever changing gold market is like trying to shoot a moving target. Over the past 90 days the price of gold has fluctuated from a high of almost $7,500.00 per ounce to a low of $5,800.00 CAD. Unlike many consumer products that require many different components and manufacturing processes to produce, the price of a basic chain or simple ring is largely dependant on the cost of gold. Fine silver, other alloys, machinery, craftsman, and the need to make a profit in order to stay in business are all considerations, but it’s mostly the cost of gold that determines the price of basic jewellery items.
Simple as the formula is, few vendors will advertise the price of a gold chain in a way to determine value. Our estate jewellery (without precious gems) is pretty much priced by the gram. The price changes all the time and we try to keep up to date with the market. As of today, the price of gold is trading at around $ 6,600.00 per ounce Canadian. At that price our 10 karat gold chain is valued at $133.00 per gram. We have many styles, lengths, and weights available. All are in excellent condition without measurable wear and no previous repairs.
In addition to our 10 karat selection we also showcase many in 14 and 18 karat, also priced by the gram. We’re happy and encourage all our customers you to shop around and compare our pricing. Please keep in mind that our pricing reflects commodity values and can fluctuate. There are many more to choose from. These 10 karat necklaces as shown in 20 and 22 inches are priced at $545.00, $455.00, and $945.00. Stock #431-00997, 431-01065, 431-01106.
The now retired Rolex Oyster Date was a continuously overlooked but interesting option to the ever-popular Datejust and basic Oyster (no date). They debuted in the 1950s as a less expensive, slightly smaller alternative to the Datejust. Original versions came only with a manually wound movement but offered a date display, a useful feature for anyone needing a little more utility than just a three hand display.
Over the years they received updates and upgrades. Quickset calendars, sapphire crystals, automatic movements, chronometer designation, two-tone or even solid 18-karat gold bracelets and cases made their way to the Oyster Date before it was completely retired. Throughout the years one thing remained the same, Rolex always marketed the Oyster Date as a 34mm watch.
The reality is, its size has slowly been getting larger over the generations. According to our digital micrometers, these versions measures in at 35.1mm in diameter. The slightly smaller measurement occupied a unisex size that should have been more popular than it was. I guess for such a small difference in actual case size, most people opted for the far more popular Datejust 36.
We almost never see Oyster Date models in our estate department of any generation. Today we are showcasing two from the final series with rare engine turned bezels. The finely grooved bezel with indexes matching the dial hour positions is a little different compared to the solid gold fluted bezels and sportier than the casual smooth polished bezels. I checked through our previously sold estate inventory and couldn’t find a single other example of a 115210, today we have your choice of a sunburst blue or white Roman dial. Any 115210 is uncommon but the white Roman is especially rare. I suppose it makes sense that Rolex retired the “DATE” along with it’s unique engine turned bezel and now only features the DATEJUST in 28mm, 31mm, 36mm, and 41mm sizes with a smooth or fluted bezels only. Both of our lightly worn estate examples showcase the unique engine turned stainless steel bezels that are crisp and sharp. The dials feature 18 karat white gold hour markers and hands. The no lug hole design on these watches gives them a more refined look compared to the older 5 and 4 digit references with fully drilled lugs holes. These watches appear to have been carefully worn by their previous owners, overall condition on both are very good to excellent. The 12 and 11 link Oyster bracelets bracelets show little to no sag on either watch.
The sporty Oyster bracelet features a mechanical Fliplock buckle with Easylink extension offering a quick adjustment giving an extra 5mm of length for those tight days. Both watches comes complete with the original inner/outer box, wallet, chronometer tag, documents, and booklet.
They also come with the original green plastic hang tag showing the matching serial/model number. These rare retired Rolex Oyster Date are covered by our complimentary 1-year warranty for the new owners. Blue sunburst or white Roman, which one will you choose? Each is priced at $9,800.00 CAD.

A timeless look from a manufacturer that’s been producing high-quality Swiss-made watches since 1848. Omega has some of the most desirable watches around and are consistently one of our most requested when it comes to estate inventory.
Speedmasters and Seamaster watches are always in high demand. The more formal Constellation and De Ville models see as many headlines but both have a long histories with many significant achievements.
The De Ville name was applied to the more dressy models within the popular Seamaster line from the 60s. They have since become their own distinct model focusing on high-precision movements and sophisticated design.
Our stainless steel example dates from December of 2015 and measures 36.5mm in diameter. That size may sound small but lacking a thick bezel allows for a larger dial, making the watch appear larger.
Its thin profile of only 9.7mm adds to the illusion of extra diameter. Compared to the benchmark Rolex Datejust at 36mm, it appears a little larger even with the slimming black dial.
A classic mat black dial with stick/Roman numeral hour markers and tapered hands result in a classy look that was popular 60 years ago and continues to this day. Omega calibre 2500 27-jewel automatic co-axial movement powering this watch is one of the brand’s most accurate and reliable automatic mechanisms, with a history dating back more than 50 years with updates improving efficiency and accuracy over the decades.
The overall condition can be cautiously described as very good. A light polishing was just performed to clean up the entirely polished surface of the case and bracelet. The lab-grown sapphire crystal has a couple tiny scratches on the surface that do not show up in our photographs. This watch was purchased new from an Ontario authorized Omega agent in December of 2015.
The original inner/outer box, warranty card, instruction booklet, inner/outer box, and chronometer certificate are included with purchase. Typically, the delicate finish of Omega boxes breaks down over the years, flaking apart with handling. We’re happy to report every bit of the original packaging is in perfect condition and looks untouched. The watch is working great and keeping excellent time. The original protective plastic sticker is still in place on the case back, although is has yellowed over the years. Included with purchase is our no charge 1-year warranty. A very similar looking contemporary De Ville Prestige chronometer is shown on the Omega website at $7,200.00. Our classic Omega De Ville is estate priced at $2,500.00 CAD. Stock #510-00231.

Taken straight off Google results describing “Evil Eye Jewellery”: Evil eye jewelry acts as a protective talisman designed to ward off negativity, jealousy, and bad luck, acting as a shield that “reflects” malicious gazes back to the sender. Commonly worn as bracelets, necklaces, or earrings, it is believed to bring good luck, balance, and protection to the wearer, often featuring a blue-and-white eye design.
We’ve seen this sort of jewellery design before, but this one we found especially attractive. The tiny size of just 12.5mm wide, cute eyelashes, with easy to wear bright cut cable chain make this truly adorable.
The dark blue genuine sapphire centre stone is surrounded by 8 tiny brilliant cut natural diamonds adding just 0.025 carats of subtle sparkle. Light and delicate at 1.7 grams but still quite sturdy with unkinkable cable chain and an oversized lobster clasp.
Both chain and pendant are in excellent condition showing no worn areas. The 16 inch chain will easily fit most ladies, if you’d like something a bit longer we are happy the separate the pendant from the original necklace. Chain and pendant are estate priced at $360.00 CAD. Stock #231-00435.

There is nothing more sophisticated than a simple choker length pearl necklace with small beads. Turn that simple elegant single strand into a triple and now it’s a statement piece. This triple strand of uniform size freshwater pearls measures 16-17 inches in length and contains upwards of 350 individual cultured pearls. Each pearl measures 4.5mm to 5.0mm in diameter and exhibits excellent luster with a good coating of fine grain nacre. They are strung on traditional white silk cord and attached to a 14 karat yellow gold, 8mm triple strand clasp with built in safety.
The time involved in simply drilling each one of these pearls dead centre without breaking them seems like an almost overwhelming task. Now you just need to buy a suitable 14 karat gold clasp for at least $300.00, string the pearls on three slightly different length strands using precisely the correct tension for each and your all done. I’m sure glad there are those patient enough to craft the beautiful pieces of jewellery in our estate collection. This triple strand is in like new condition showing no wear or frayed silk cord. The 16-17 inch total length should perfectly fit the contoured neckline of the average lady. If you have a wedding approaching this spring/summer this necklace would make a perfect accessory.

We hope you aren’t tired of us proclaiming the benefits of only buying your jewellery from vendors who FULLY disclose all details, so you can determine what is and isn’t good value. Don’t be fooled by a flashy presentation and phoney discounts reflecting an inflated original price. Shop around and then shop around some more. If it’s a simple item like a gold chain like this or a ring that doesn’t contain any precious stones, get the weight and get the karat (purity) of the gold. To a smaller extent it is always nice to know where the jewellery was made, but this is of lesser importance. It’s just like buying bananas, potatoes, or other basic groceries. Know the weight, know the price, and now you know the value. Here is all you need to know about our latest estate gold chain. It was made from 10 karat gold, weighs 40.2 grams, and shows zero signs of wear and tear. It has been worn but remains in excellent condition.
If you’re looking at other vintage/estate/used chains or bracelets, look to the connecting rings and clasp for signs of wear. Over the years, constant movement with pressure will slowly erode the links and joints that rub together. The easiest section to inspect is at the clasp. This area receives the most wear because it’s where the most weight is pulling on the joints. As you can easily see the wear points on the clasp and receiving ring show zero wear.
For maximum lifespan of any chain or bracelet with flexible links, keep it clean. Dirt is usually gritty and prematurely wears away at any spot that rubs together. This chain is very long and very thick for a box link. 3mm x 3mm link dimensions are about as big as a standard box link gets. These heavy gauge links do a great job reflecting light with their large flat surfaces. The bevelled edge on all four corners of this one adds an extra level of premium finish and sparkle. This statement chain is long enough for an extra large size gentleman; a very slender lady may be able to double it up as a choker.
You could also cut out a section and make a matching bracelet. Heavy box links are an uncommon find in our estate department. At less than $109.00 per gram this one is priced below its wholesale replacement cost. Estate priced at $4,375.00 CAD. Stock #431-01018.
Prepare to make a statement with today’s white gold diamond bangle, spanning 10mm at its widest.
Manufacturer from 14 karat white gold, this bangle features a striking floral cluster design adorned with 119 round brilliant cut diamonds, collectively weighing 1.75 carats and exhibiting I2-HI quality.
Its sturdy construction ensures both durability and elegance, while the oval shape guarantees that the diamond-encrusted top consistently faces upward during wear, showcasing its brilliance with every movement. The heavily hinged design incorporates a broad button-release box catch, along with two additional side safety locks, ensuring both security and comfort.
The bangle’s original chromy white rhodium finish remains in impeccable condition, testifying to the bracelet’s unworn status. With a weight of 20.9 grams, this bangle, a harmonious blend of sophistication and contemporary design, awaits those who appreciate the allure of timeless glamour. Estate price $4,680.00 CAD. Stock #171-00084.
We see dozens of estate items every week, many are simply recycled for their components and precious metal recovery because they are damaged or worn out. The best pieces are resold at a significant discount to their replacement value. Sometimes we showcase personal favorites or the ones that catch our eye on the “Vintage Spotlight” website section. This ladies diamond bracelet is just such an item. You need to be of a certain age to recognize this link design as a style that was connected to a bathtub drain plug. To the youngsters in the audience it may just look cool bead design from Tiffany or other high end jeweller.
We’re not sure who or where this piece was made, but we found it interesting and appealing. Crafted from 14 karat white gold with a sturdy custom lobster clasp with heavy receiver section. The centre piece is obviously the elongated centre link with 52 tiny round brilliant cut natural diamonds, each secured in the French set technique using four tiny hand raised beads of gold securing the small diamonds.
This is a time consuming method of keeping everything in place but it looks great with excellent security. The last link before the clasp is also embellished with small diamonds, this time there are five larger round brilliant cut stones channel set in a row.
This link acts as a bit of a handle allowing an easier time opening the clasp; a tricky operation when you only have one hand to attach both ends. The ball shaped bead links measure 3.2mm diameter with a total bracelet length of 7 1/2 inches, offering the perfect fit for an average size wrist. It shows practically like new showing only a hint of rhodium plating wear on some of the ball links. It has never been refinished or polished since it left the factory. Estate priced at $1,190.00 CAD. Stock #171-00129.

In more than 65 years of business, we had very few opportunities to offer a Vacheron Constantin through our estate department. VC is one of the most respected of all the high-end luxury Swiss brands, with a history going back to the mid-1700s.
They are considered one of the holy trinity among Swiss brands along with Audemars Piquet and Patek Philippe. These three brands occupy the ultra-high-end space when it comes to luxury Swiss watch manufacturers.
This timeless design is from the Malte Grande Classique collection model 81000/000G-9107 and had a retail price of over $14,000.00 USD close to 20 years ago. The solid 18 karat white gold case measures 36mm in diameter and features a beautiful hand-wind chronometer grade movement visible through the clear case back.
The rare hand engraved silver guilloche dial displays only the necessary information to tell the time. The watch comes with an endorsed warranty card from Royal De Versailles dated October 2003.
The previous owner commissioned a beautiful custom made emerald green alligator strap with matching green stitching. The strap is in like new condition and shows no wear or blemishes of any kind. The original signed 18 karat white gold Vacheron Constantin buckle is a nice touch.
The white gold case displays signs of use in the form of scratches and scuffs but remains in good to very good condition. Comes with endorsed paperwork from Royal de Versailles (October 2003), and a signed leather travel pouch. Included with the purchase is a complimentary 1-year warranty. Estate priced at $13,000.00 CAD. Stock #e6056 501-00147.
Finding a dressy watch that’s truly tough enough to stand up to pretty much anything, yet formal enough to wear at a sophisticated black tie event isn’t as easy as it may seem. You could always go for a Rolex Oyster 36 if the $8,000.00 price isn’t a problem and you’re fortunate enough to see one at your Rolex agent. As timeless as the Rolex is it lacks some handy features and details of the Tag Heuer. A basic Rolex Oyster doesn’t have a calendar, diamonds, mother of pearl dial or timer bezel. The diamonds are petite but of excellent VS-G or better quality. They are prong set in square settings that double as very functional hour markers.
The Tag Heuer Link WJ1114-0 has excellent sporting features in this pre-owned example for $1,695.00. It’s water resistant to 200 meters thanks to an incredibly durable sapphire crystal, threaded crown and threaded case back. The watch is constructed entirely from high grade 316L stainless steel.
The Swiss made movement is functioning with typical quartz accuracy of plus or minus a few seconds per month. Mother of pearl dials are flattering with any outfit as their subtle rainbow of iridescent colours roll across the face.
Diamond hour markers add just a touch of bling without being over the top. The 39mm case is easy to wear for any gentleman or the lady who likes a larger watch without being too bulky. The iconic “S” shaped flexible link bracelet is tight showing no stretch or sag. It is secured by a fold over clasp with safety lock.
It has been worn responsibly by a regular customer/collector of ours. It shows light scuffs, scratches, and minor dings from use. A light polish/refinishing tidied things up without disturbing too much of the original detail. Including a one year complimentary warranty and our presentation box, the watch is priced at $1,695.00 CAD. Tock #520-00127.
We came close but we just couldn’t do it; we couldn’t recycle this chain for the gold value of $1,940.00 (as of March 27, 2026). The era of high quality, well made, widely available 18 karat gold jewellery may be coming to an end. With the price of gold close to all time highs, the cost to make high karat gold is becoming more than the market will bear. We have melted many beautiful jewellery pieces and watches lately because they’re worth more recycled than our retail asking price. Hopefully this extraordinary necklace will not suffer the same fate. The elaborate clasp cinched it for us. The multi-piece clasp with fold-over lock and side safety is something normally only seen on heavy bracelets or maybe a gold watch.
This clasp is an expensive upgrade that needs to be hand installed and adjusted. The solid link construction is something we’re seeing less and less of all the time too. Even in 10 and 14 karat, hollow is the manufacturers answer to rising gold prices. The super tight double curb link design is smooth and silky looking, like a flat herringbone chain but with the durability of an open link design. A polished and bevelled edge adds an extra design detail and sparkle.
At 20 inches long and 3.2mm wide it can be worn by a man or woman, with or without a pendant.
We’ve priced this wonderful necklace at less than 15% above its scrap gold value. This is waaaaaaaay below its wholesale cost. Buying something like this new would easily be $3,500.00 or more. The chain is in like new condition and shows zero wear in any of the links. Estate priced at $2,200.00 CAD. Stock number 431-01107.

This beautifully articulated bracelet, crafted in 14 karat yellow gold, exhibits a rich, lustrous yellow glow that contrasts beautifully against the dark blue-coloured sapphires and twinkling white diamonds. A continuous procession of natural oval-cut sapphires, totalling approximately 13.00 carats, forms the centrepiece of the design. Each gemstone reveals a velvety, dark royal-blue hue, all matched to create a harmonious ribbon of complimentary colour along the wrist. Further adorned with distinctive yellow gold “twists”, or double curve motifs, that are subtlety formed into elegant elongated “S” shaped links that are interspaced between each oval sapphire link. Gracefully contoured, these interstitial gold elements subtly catch and reflect light, carrying the eye along the gently undulating curves introducing both visual rhythm and structural elegance.
Their warm golden tone provides a striking yet balanced presence, enriching the overall chromatic interplay of the piece. Scintillating round brilliant cut natural diamonds are set at each end of the decorative gold links. The 26 delicately integrated diamonds, total approximately 0.50 carats of SI-IJ, offer intermittent flashes of brilliance, punctuating the design without overpowering it. Their crisp luminosity adds vibrancy and dimension, enlivening the design of the bracelet by creating a nuanced interplay between sparkle and colour, accentuating the sculptural quality of each of the articulated segments. The elegantly articulated links lend the bracelet a sinuous, almost liquid movement, that enhances both comfort and visual allure. Secured with a dependable box-style clasp with side safety clasp is integrated into one of the S-shaped links, ensuring confident and reliable wear.
Measuring 7 inches in length and weighing an impressive 14.8 grams total weight, the piece possesses a gratifying heft while maintaining a fluid and supple drape along the wrist. An enduring example of fine jewellery craftsmanship characterized by sumptuous materials and aesthetic appeal, this bracelet embodies a balance of opulence and timeless restraint. Offering an exceptional value, estate priced at $3,600.00 CAD, this latest estate piece is equally suited to formal engagements or discerning everyday wear.

From strait roads to straight buildings and 90 degree corners, alignment and symmetry are definitely a human characteristic when it comes to efficient design. There is a place for this sort structured style in jewellery, but a smooth flowing organic shape is often considered more attractive. The simple wave pattern of this hinged bangle is just such a shape. The elegant streamlined contour is hard not to admire. The three small round brilliant cut diamond provide a necessary connection point for each side and adding some sparkle. The round brilliant cut natural diamonds weigh a combined 0.12 carats and are of I-IJ quality.
Solid construction with hard 10 karat white gold in triangular cross section castings provide excellent resistance to bending. The discreet hinge and plunger clasp with side safety allow a better fit than a pure bangle design that must fit over the hand. The two stage plunger clasps offers an extra level of security and there is also a side safety clasp just in case.
Overall condition is best described as shopworn or better. The factory applied bright white rhodium plating is still fully intact and this piece has never been polished or refinished in any way. Estate priced at $1,200.00 CAD. Stock #171-00114.

If you’ve been spending time on our website thinking about buying a high-quality Swiss watch, this is a great one to test the waters with. It’s time you made the plunge into the world of luxury watches. Don’t be afraid of high repair bills and finicky reliability issues. Trust me, there are far worse things you could do with some extra $$$ than buy a good previously enjoyed Swiss watch.
This vintage Breitling is a great place to start or add to any collection. It’s a comfortable 39mm in diameter, it’s bold, it’s all highly polished stainless steel and 18 karat gold; what’s not to like? The movement at the heart of this do it all watch is the venerable Valjoux 7750. It’s been upgraded by Breitling’s watchmakers to chronometer accuracy levels. This automatic winding movement has been in continuous service in some of the world’s most famous brands for well over 50 years and it’s still in production today. It’s amazingly reliable and familiar to every decent watchmaker anywhere in the world. It doesn’t have to go back to the manufacturer for service and replacement parts are readily available. It’s not uncommon for these robust mechanisms to go more than 10 years between service intervals.
The Chronomat has more than enough features to keep even a hard-core watch geek interested. A 12-hour 3-register chronograph is the primary feature beside the 3 hand time display. Other details include a one-way ratcheting 60-minute bezel timer, tachymeter scale for measuring units per hour, threaded crown/case back, and a curved synthetic sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. A continuous sweeping second hand and calendar add some day-to-day functionality, and don’t forget about the a beautiful navy blue dial. It has different textures applied to its matt finish. The easy to read dial features rare Arabic hour markers polished to a mirror finish. It’s a dial and font style rarely seen on a Chronomat adding to the retro look.
Water resistant to 200 meters and made from high-grade stainless steel and premium 18 karat gold should allow for use under any circumstance. Dressy to sporty, this watch does it all. After more than a quarter of a century with its only owner, it is now offered for the first time as a welcome addition to our ever changing estate department. It’s an uncommon reference D13350 with the full 18 karat yellow gold bezel and matching 18 karat trimmed full length Pilot bracelet with flip lock safety.
The most remarkable thing about this watch is its original crisp sharp finish. These watches are delivered with a perfect high polish finish that easily shows scuffs and scratches no matter how carefully it’s worn. That being said, the temptation to maintain the mirror finish is strong, and most succumb to the temptation of polishing it with a cloth or having a jeweller professionally do it. No matter how gently you try to restore the polish, some metal inevitably ends up being removed and the sharp edges become softened and less distinct. While this watch isn’t perfect, it does maintain the original slightly scuffed and scratched finish from the factory, something that is almost never seen. It can only be original once and this one is as honest as they come. It was delivered in Canada in 1999 and remained with the original owner the entire time. It comes with an endorsed warranty booklet and all documents.
The hinges of the original Bakelite box have not broken/cracked the lid, as they always do and this one will to if opened and closed many more times. These box lid and hinges always self destruct over time. I don’t think we’ve seen one this old that hasn’t. The soft antireflective surface coating on the crystal is fully intact and not scratched up. This coating often becomes hazy with wear and is removed; we’re happy to report it is fully intact on this example.
Lightly worn overall condition with zero stretch or sag in the 8 1/2″ Pilot bracelet equipped with a flip-lock buckle.
It’s running great with all functions operating as designed. Breitling no longer produce the Chronomat in this specification, but the line is still a core offering for the brand and quite popular. The closest current two-tone steel & gold Chronomat ref: UB01341 is a little larger at 42mm and comes with an optional blue dial and a retail price of $17,900.00.

Jewellery manufacturers need to be creative these days to keep their products affordable. Labor rates, taxes, duties, and tariffs are beyond their control but the quality (karat) of gold and the finished weight can be managed to a degree. Some of the premium factories who historically only produced in 18 karat are now offering jewellery in 14 karat and sometimes even in 10 karat. Our newest estate hoop earrings are a great balance of quality with clever manufacturing resulting in excellent durability, upgraded 14 karat gold and are a great value. The square hollow tubing design with multiple corrugations on all sides not only add visual interest, they add significant strength and resistance to bending, twisting, or denting.
They accomplish this while maintaining lightweight high quality construction techniques. It may seem like a small thing but we appreciate the solid rivet joint on the hinge; this style costs a little more to make but offers superior strength when compared to just a simple squeezed shut joint.
The flat post with corresponding heavy gauge receiving knuckle provide a secure lock that you can both feel and hear as it snaps in place. These earrings are in perfect condition with the factory applied hard rhodium finish still fully intact.
They measure 16.3mm in diameter and 3.0mm wide, with a finished weight of 1.3 grams in upgraded 14 karat white gold. They are estate priced at $240.00 CAD. 426-00376.

The “must de Cartier” line of watches is back and they have been popular with those looking for an understated form of classic timekeeping. The reintroduction in 2021 was a huge success and quickly sold out the initial production run. The “Tank” design has been around since 1917 and has been a cornerstone of the Cartier style ever since. In the 1970s Cartier was looking to rejuvenate their brand as sales were not what they once were. The post World War II economic boom produced a large demographic of a new middle class who couldn’t necessarily afford Cartier’s traditional ultra luxury offerings, but they could afford something better than basic timekeeping.
The introduction of must de Cartier in the late 1970s couldn’t have been better timed. They were crafted from sterling silver covered with 20 microns of hard gold plating and featured new technology battery operated electronic quartz mechanisms along with traditional hand wind movements. The must de Cartier was an upscale alternative to the onslaught of less expensive, excellent quality, quartz watches from Japan. This estate Cartier is one of the more desirable hand wind examples; powered by the small but reliable 17 jewel calibre 78-1.
So reliable in fact that our master watchmaker just serviced it for the first time even. It is running great and keeping excellent time. The gold plated case is in very good condition and completely original. The 20 micron gold plated sterling silver case shows some scuffs and small dings but is fully intact. After more than four decades of use, most of these watches display areas of significant sterling silver showing through the gold plating. This is most commonly seen around the lug corners and top edges. The four top corners on this watch display a tiny amount of silver through the gold plate. This is a survivor example, original protective sticker is still in place on the back after more than 40 years.
It looks like it has never even been serviced before. The case back has no service records etched inside.
It even sports the Cartier buckle but the leather strap in not the original.
The retro tri-colour gold mirror dial is perfect, not a single stain or blemish of any kind.
Likewise can be said of the blued steel hands, case screws, and blue spinel knurled crown. The low domed glass crystal shows only microscopic scuffs and nicks on the edges. It comes with original documents in folder but no warranty card.
We’ve elected to leave this watch in as presented condition, complete with oxidation on the gold plating that can easily be removed if you choose to.
It’s running well and keeping good time despite having never been serviced. We will include a full technical revision of the movement along with a new strap for the next owner. This classically proportioned vintage Cartier measures 20.5mm wide (excluding the crown) and 28mm long lug to lug.
The new versions of these classics are now made from stainless steel, no more gold plated sterling silver, and no more manual wind movements, all of the smaller ladies models are now powered by quartz movements. Cartier further simplified the design by eliminating everything from the dial except the logo. The price point for the new versions start at $4,850.00 in stainless steel. Including our 1-year warranty it is estate priced at $2,500.00 CAD. Stock #501-00403.

Our little friend has returned, now even more sinister since you last saw him. We recently added a pair of 6.5mm lab grown ruby eyes. The rubies have been bezel set in deep 14 karat white gold bezels resulting in an evil blank stare. He now looks like a cross between the Terminator and a possessed C3PO. A custom pendant isn’t unheard of, but custom made chains are practically never seen. We’ve had a couple come through our estate department over the years, but nothing like this before. What is jaw-dropping (forgive us) about this pendant and chain is the scale of custom work! The extra-long 28.5 inch chain is made up of a link design we have never encountered before, individually linked 6.5mm wide spinal cord inspired cages.
Heavily carved for a thick and durable wall gauge ensuring the chain can survive almost any kind of daily wear. The 72.3 gram chain terminates in heavy custom made end caps and an oversized riveted lobster clasp that is somewhat redundant as the chain will easily slip over you head without the need to release the catch. The clasp allows you to wear the chain without the skull or substitute a different pendant you may have. The back bone inspiration could be overlooked as just an unusual design link pattern, but there is no chance of missing the subject matter of the pendant.
The human skull depiction looks pretty accurate to me. An empty, expressionless, three dimensional depiction of what anyone can instantly recognize. It has been hand crafted with excellent detail and heavy construction. The large pendant measures 4.9cm tall (without the bail).
It has a pierced repeating pattern on the backside that we really don’t know anything about.
The pendant is suspended from a large hinged triangular bail that will accommodate a chain up to 13mm in width. On its own the pendant weighs a substantial 60.5 grams. Together the chain and pendant weigh a combined 132.6 grams. The necklace and pendant are accompanied by a November 2020 appraisal stating a retail value of $23,400.00 plus sales tax.
In excellent condition showing little evidence of wear, this custom made, skeletal inspired piece of jewellery is estate priced at $10,500.00 CAD for the set. The skull can be purchased separately for $6,500.00 CAD. Stock #436-00246.

Crafted in 14 karat white gold, this elegant jewellery set showcases a vibrant arrangement of colourful natural princess cut sapphires accented by sparkling round diamonds. The set includes a pair of hoop-style, Huggie earrings and a coordinating pendant enhancer, each designed with a sleek and refined, contemporary aesthetic. Sapphires are renowned not only for their durability and brilliance, but also for their remarkable range of colours. While traditionally associated with the colour blue, sapphires naturally occur in nearly every hue – forming what is often referred to as a full spectrum. This colourful arrangement includes shades of pink, yellow, orange, green, blue and purple, most of which are beautifully represented in this striking set.
Coloured gemstones have become increasingly prominent in fine jewellery, and they continue to be a defining trend in 2026. Consumers are embracing vibrant, expressive designs that highlight individuality and personal style, making multi-coloured gemstone pieces especially desirable. Rainbow sapphire jewellery, in particular, offers a modern yet timeless appeal, combining classic craftsmanship with a fresh and fashion-forward use of colour. The Huggie style earrings feature a hinged-hoop design, adorned along the front with a linear arrangement of square-cut rainbow sapphires in a spectrum of vivid hues, including deep pink, light pink, yellow, orange, light green, and blue. These gemstones are beautifully framed on both sides by rows of brilliant, round diamonds that add sparkle and contrast, enhancing the colour and luminosity of the sapphires. Finished with secure hinged closures, the huggie style earrings ensure both confident and comfortable wear.
The matching pendant complements the earrings perfectly, showcasing a vertical channel of similar square-cut rainbow sapphires set in seamless gradient of colour, ranging from light green to deep pink, along the gracefully curved design. The sapphires are again bordered on both sides by shimmering, round diamond accents, creating a balanced and sophisticated look.
The pendant also functions as an enhancer, with a hinged bail that opens to allow the pendant to be easily attached to a variety of chains or strands of pearls or beads, offering incredible versatility and endless styling options.
This coordinated set offers a striking combination of eye-catching colour and lively sparkle, making it an exceptional choice for both everyday elegance and special occasions. Both the earrings and the pendant enhancer are in excellent lightly worn condition. The pendant and earrings contain an estimated 3.00 carats of sapphire and 0.25 carats of natural diamonds. The well made set weighs a combined 10.3 grams. The pictured box link necklace is not included. Available as set or individually priced at $1,400.00 CAD for the pendant and $1,890.00 CAD for the earrings. Stock #231-00410 (pendant) and Stock #211-00256 (earrings).

It’s almost impossible to get financially hurt getting into a luxury watch if you buy something like this Tag Heuer Aquaracer. This is especially true since you can’t even buy a current Tag Heuer Aquaracer that comes with a chronograph complication. A basic automatic Aquaracer from Tag Heuer now have a starting price point of $4,700.00 as seen on TagHeuer.com. There is a special attraction many of us have to mechanical watches with a chronograph feature.
Even if this extra complication isn’t needed or hardly ever used, it really looks cool and definitely adds an extra dimension to any watch. If you’ve been lusting over a Rolex Daytona, Omega Planet Ocean, or a Breitling SuperOcean, but don’t want to spend that much, the Tag Heuer Aquaracer is a compelling option. It offers pretty much the same features but without the same price of admission. The workhorse movement ticking away inside the 43mm stainless case may not be an Officially Certified Chronometer, but there is a good chance it runs within or is very close to “Chronometer” accuracy expectations of +6 to -4 seconds per day. Tag Heuer’s calibre 16 is a modified Valjoux 7750 or the off-patent clone Sellita SW500.
The Valjoux version has been powering some of the world’s most important brands, including Omega and Breitling for close to 5 decades. Reliable and accurate movement aside, this watch has all the other features to keep the watch enthusiast interested, including a water resistance rating of 1,000 feet! A beautiful silver horizontally striped dial has enough texture changes to keep even the most discriminating eye entertained. The recessed concentric ring registers with beveled frames give this dial even more depth. A one-way timer bezel radial finish reenforces the classy tone on tone look.
Thick hands and hour markers are ultra-legible in any lighting situation.
Sapphire crystal keeps that beautiful dial in sharp focus. There is a handy 31 day calendar that occupies the 3:00 o’clock position on the dial. The solid link bracelet comes with a mechanical locking buckle and diver extension.
Even the threaded case back is decorated with an embossed image of an antique diver’s helmet.
This watch is in very good original condition, it shows some small scratches on the case, bracelet, and buckle that could easily be removed in just a day or two if you wish. We are happy to say it has never been polished or refinished in any way. It comes complete with the original inner/outer boxes, instruction booklet, warranty card, outer cardboard sleeve (not shown), and even the original bill of sale (spring of 2011) from an Ontario authorized Tag Heuer agent.
The factory warranty may be expired but we are happy to include a complimentary 1-year warranty for the next owner. This is a great way to get into the automatic chronograph market without risk. If you decide to trade it in for something different, the AquaRacer has always been popular with our customers and they don’t usually sit in our displays for too long. This watch is estate priced at $2,100.00 CAD. Stock #520-00132.

Designed to capture the delicate beauty of a butterfly in flight, this exquisite butterfly ring is a striking celebration of elegance, craftsmanship, and brilliance. Long regarded as emblems of metamorphosis, hope, and new beginnings, butterflies illicit the quiet magic of spring – when nature awakens from winter slumber. Translating a timeless motif into a refined and radiant piece of fine jewelry, this ring evokes the poetic beauty of transformation and renewal.
With a prominent presence on the finger, measuring approximately 26mm x 26mm at the wideset parts, the ring has been crafted with both beauty and durability in mind. Weighing in at a sturdy 5.8 grams. The cool lustre of luminous 18 karat white gold provides a luxurious backdrop to the design that enhances the diamonds’ brilliance and crisp white sparkle. Offering exceptional eye-catching sparkle, the ring features a breathtaking arrangement of 152 natural diamonds of SI clarity and H/I colour. We’ve estimated by formula a combined total weight of 2.00 carats. Showcasing a sophisticated mix of diamond cuts, the deliberate design brings both depth and movement to the piece. All interior portions of the butterfly’s wings are carefully composed of tapered baguette diamonds, strategically arranged in a dynamic pattern that radiates outward from the centre. These elongated stones create a sense of movement and architectural depth, forming graceful lines that enhance the lifelike elegance of the butterfly motif. Encircling the baguette composition is a scintillating border of brilliant round diamonds that trace the gentle contours of the butterfly’s wings. This shimmering frame enhances the silhouette while adding texture and effervescence to the design. The result is a delicate wing structure that appears almost gossamer in its intricacy, yet structured and bold with striking precision. At the heart of the design, additional round diamonds form the body of the butterfly, completing the design with refined symmetry, bringing the entire composition into harmonious balance. We ran this ring through our lab-grown diamond screener and discovered 2 of the tiny round brilliant cut diamonds to be lab-grown and not of natural origin. The lab-grown invaders show up as bright red on the screening tool display.
This really didn’t shock us as the proliferation of inexpensive lab-grown are getting mixed in with naturals. This is not a rare as you’d think. If you have a piece of jewellery that you’d like screened for lab-grown, bring it in. The test is no charge and literally takes less than 10 seconds to complete.
As both a symbolic jewel and a striking statement piece, this ring is especially evocative of the spring/summer seasons, when butterflies return and emerge as quiet ambassadors of beauty, transformation, and optimism. Perfect for a meaningful gift to celebrate milestones, personal growth, or simply the joy of renewal, with its radiant composition and rich symbolism, this diamond butterfly ring is a luminous tribute to transformation, enduring beauty and the evolution of nature. Offering lively scintillation and a playful elegant presence, the ring is in excellent condition, showing just some 18 karat white gold through rhodium plating on the shank bottom and sides. The ring currently measures a size 8 with plenty of room to adjust up or down. A captivating symbol of transformation with a sophisticated and airy elegance, the butterfly silhouette, both feminine and contemporary, would make a dazzling addition to any fine jewelry collection. Estate priced at $2,000.00 CAD. Stock #131-00248.

When the Olympics came to town for the first time in 1976 it was a really big deal. The international event placed Canada squarely under the spotlight showcasing our modern country. Unfortunately it wasn’t our best showing. At the conclusion of the Montreal Summer games, Canada failed to win a single gold medal. This was the only time a host nation has not won at least one gold metal and something that has not been repeated since. We finished 27th in overall results. We have always been more of a winter sports country anyway. Never the less, the attention of the world introduced millions of people to our beautiful county regardless of our gold medal count. No gold medal for us in 1976, but we did manage to produce 6 silver, so there’s that. One of the ways Canada commemorated the ’76 Olympics was be producing collectable silver coins displaying many of the sporting disciplines.
Maybe we’re not a powerhouse when it comes to summer sports, but when it comes to minting coins The Royal Canadian Mint is as good as is gets. Just a few years after these coins were stuck, Canada minted the world’s first .999 fine gold coin in 1979 and then pushed the quality even higher to .9999 in 1983, another world’s first. These coins are not pure bullion, but alloyed with a little copper for durability to a recognized sterling silver standard of 92.5% purity. The 28 coins have $5.00 and $10.00 face values each weighing 24.3 grams and 48.6 grams respectively. Collectively the 28 coins contain 30.35 troy ounces of fine/pure silver. High purity precious metals can be sold without federal or provincial sales tax. These coins are 92.5% pure silver and NOT sales tax exempt; but we are including the government’s 13% HST in the total out the door price of spot + 5%.
The spot price is the real-time market price at which a commodity can be bought or sold for immediate payment and delivery. A great place to check the up to the second spot price for silver is BullionVault.com. The bottom line means you can buy these untouched, proof condition sterling silver coins for close to 7% less than the actual silver content they contain plus sales tax. At the current (March 13, 2026) silver price of $110.50 CAD the 28 coins contain $3,356.00 in silver; at this price we are selling them for $3,523.80 including the 13% sales tax!

After a relatively short model run of around 16 years, the Rolex Milgauss has once again been retired. The first version debuted in 1956 looking very similar to a Submariner, complete with a rotating bezel. In the mid-1960s Rolex tried again to revive some interest in the Milgauss giving it a more specific look without a rotating bezel. These models were also not terribly well received staying in the background for many years. In a “third time is the charm” attempt at the Milgauss, Rolex reintroduced the 116400 in 2007. This model lasted until 2023 when once again the Milgauss was retired from the Professional lineup.
The Milgauss is indeed an unusual watch and perhaps the most specialized of any Rolex. The original 1950s Milgauss was introduced as an answer to problems encountered when mechanical watches were exposed to strong magnetic fields. The introduction of the Milgauss allowed scientists, engineers, and technicians to wear a watch while working in environments with extreme magnetic fields. Without magnetic protection, performing your job in strong magnetic fields would render a regular watch useless or unreliable at best. Rolex has gone to extraordinary measures in order to shield the calibre 3131 from the effects of magnetism. A special inner liner inside the Oyster case made from a proprietary Rolex blend of metals keeps the movement running within chronometer specifications when exposed to extreme magnetic fields. The orange lightning bolt seconds hand, orange text, and orange markers give this otherwise generic-looking watch its own quirky character.
The orange pigment of the hour markers causes the luminous material to phosphoresce a different, more subdued colour than the regular green glow of the hands.
The bulky case is much thicker than any other basic Oyster measuring a little over half an inch thick. Our latest Milgauss is the least encountered of the last generation with its bright white dial. The polished/brushed finish bracelet shows no sag or stretch in any of the Oyster links.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The basic Rolex Datejust formula hasn’t changed in over 80 years. Coin edge fluted bezel, Oyster case, and champagne dial are still some of the most popular combinations, just as they were when the model was introduced in 1945.
This example is a model 16013 and dates from 1978 according to the serial number engraved between the 6:00 o’clock lugs.
At 47 years old this watch is now a vintage collectible. It may be over 4 decades old, but it looks like one that is far younger. Some Rolex watches see only occasional use, so good condition, older examples are not that uncommon. Some light scuffs and scratches can be seen on the plastic crystal, 18 karat gold bezel, and stainless steel case, but otherwise the watch looks almost like new. Only the savvy connoisseur would notice the tall plastic crystal that gives away this watches’ approximate age.
A true Rolex aficionado may take it a step further and recognize the unusual dial with a connected minute track and raised hour markers. The raised hour markers allow Rolex’ watchmakers to secure the solid 18 karat gold markers over the perfected placed domed tritium plots. These markers are seldom seen with the single rail minute track.
With with vintage watches, it’s all about the dial; and this one is perfect. There is not the slightest stain or blemish to the champagne sunburst finish. Every tritium hour plot is also perfect showing no parchment patina with perfectly matching 18 karat yellow gold hands.
Very good overall condition and ready to wear for the next 5 decades of reliable service. The 18 karat gold fluted bezel is instantly associated with the Datejust and Day-Date is in great condition displaying crisp sharp edges.
The watch is running well and keeping good time. Inside the 100 meter water-resistant Oyster case is the notable 27 jewel Rolex calibre 3035. This was the first truly modern Rolex movement, introducing the companies first high beat (28,800 cycles per hour) mechanism, an increased 50-hour power reserve, and the first quickset calendar.
These reliable movements remained in production for 12 years. They also powered the Submariner, Sea-Dweller, and GMT-Master (in modified form).
This watch was treated to a Rolex service in March of 2021 and comes with the service warranty card along with a Rolex travel pouch.
Inside the case back shows two previous service records that appear to also be preformed by the official Rolex service centre in Toronto.
This was a presentation gift to commemorate one million dollars in sales.
A million dollars is a lot of money, but it was a whole lot more significant 47 years ago. In the late 70s a million dollars would have bought 10 really nice houses in Barrie. Included with the purchase is a one-year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty and a never worn Hirsch brown leather strap (the watch does not come with an original Rolex bracelet). The engraving on the case back can easily be removed but we like to keep these collectible watches original as it’s part of their story. Rolex still manufacture a 36mm Datejust that looks almost identical to this one on a gold and stainless steel bracelet. The current version of this iconic watch 126233 carries a retail price of $18,200.00 at your local Rolex boutique. Our late 1970s vintage example is estate priced at $6,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00630.
There is a high coefficient of bling relative to the price for this natural diamond pendant. Measuring the diamonds and conservatively calculating their approximate weight results in 0.75 carats. Diamonds are priced by the carat; so even if we only value the setting and chain according to the recyclable gold content of $175.00 at today’s gold price (March 11, 2025), we’ve priced the 9 diamonds at only $300.00 per carat!!! Other than industrial diamonds or lab-grown diamonds, you can’t buy anything that resembles decent quality for just $300.00 per carat.
That’s one of the benefits of our estate jewellery, it offers outstanding value, often times it is priced below the wholesale replacement cost. This classic bar pendant is contains 3 good sized round brilliant cut diamonds of I1 clarity with a fancy brown body colour, bridged by 6 bead set small round diamonds.
The gold prongs and beads have been enhanced with bright white rhodium enhancing the brown hue of these fancy colour stones. The pendant is suspended from a light rope chain 18 inches long. The pendant, chain, and diamonds weight a little over 2 grams in total. Chain and pendant are both in excellent condition. Estate priced at $400.00 CAD. Stock #161-00309.

Breitling’s core group of customers are typically aviation, racing, and diving enthusiasts, plus those generally interested in sporting watches. Our latest Breitling isn’t really any of those things except perhaps somewhat sporting with its close to 44mm case size, water resistance rating of 100 meters, and stainless steel construction. The Unitime is a watch designed for someone who is interested in knowing what time it is anywhere in the world.
International businessmen and world travelers could benefit from this slick world timer. Once you synchronize your local time with the corresponding city on the outer rotating disc you can instantly see the time in major cities throughout the world.
If you travel to a different time zone, the hour hand can be adjusted to display your new local time while keeping every other time zone in snyc. When jumping time zones the minute and second hands are unaffected and continue to operate, maintaining accurate minutes/seconds.
This watch isn’t nearly as complicated as it looks once you’ve played with it a little bit. The Unitime isn’t the first world timer from Breitling as they made a version similar in function to this way back in the 1950s. What is different is the fact Breitling produced the world time movement completely in house calling it the B35. This 41 jewel automatic winding mechanism offers chronometer certification and a very long 70 hour power reserve.
The case is crafted from highly polished stainless steel and has a water resistance rating of 100 meters thanks to a threaded crown and case back with movement display window. A 23mm lug width allows an easy selection of leather strap choices should you prefer something other than the blemish free, factory-equipped white stitched chocolate brown calf strap or the additional dark navy blue alligator strap with signed buckle.
The extra blue strap with buckle is an $800.00 no charge addition. A handy 31-day calendar with luminous hands and markers adds some useful extra utility to this unique Breitling.
This watch appears unworn and is without blemish. It comes complete with its original inner/outer boxes, documents, and endorsed warranty card.
It is running flawlessly with all functions operating as designed. Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers will include a 1-year warranty covering all aspects of mechanical defect or failure for 1 full year. This model can still be seen on the Breitling website with a retail price of $11,500.00 CAD. Our like new estate example is priced at $5,500.00 CAD. Stock #515-00118.
Masterfully crafted in premium 18 karat gold, this refined Kria bracelet showcases just a hint of two-tone design that beautifully blends warm yellow gold with a touch of contrasting custom white gold resulting in a sophisticated contemporary look.
Expertly finished with a high-polish surface, the bracelet features a elongated rounded box link style engineered with each link smoothly contoured to create a flexible structure with fluid movement. Alternating subtly in tone between yellow gold links and custom white gold accents, the design of the bracelet provides visual interest while maintaining a clean, timeless aesthetic. The rounded profile ensures the bracelet sits comfortably against the wrist while the two-tone design highlights the premium craftsmanship and quality of the piece.
Measuring 8 1/4 inches in length and 5.3mm diameter, considerable weight of 29.4 grams with durable construction offers a comfortable and secure fit for most wrists while maintaining a substantial presence. An oversized rectangular clasp provides a secure closure that ensures reliable and confident wear, while integrating into the bracelet’s sleek and continuous design.
This versatile bracelet transitions effortlessly from casual daytime wear to formal evening occasions, making it an ideal accessory for the modern gentleman or lady who appreciates the substantial look and feel. Its balanced combination of classic styling and contemporary two-tone gold makes it suitable for wearing alone as a statement piece or layered with a watch or other fine jewellery. Elegant, durable, and timeless, this beautiful 18 karat two-tone gold Kira bracelet is in excellent, showing wear only in the form of light shallow scratches on the polished surfaces.
All the joints are perfect and tight showing no worn sections. With the price of gold being close to $7,000.00 Canadian per ounce, we’ve elected not to refinish or polish this bracelet keeping all the gold it contains intact. At that price, every 1/10th of a gram polished away, results in throwing away $17.00 gold of gold. If you want it polished up to look like new, one of our experienced goldsmiths can do it while you wait in just a few minutes, but be prepared to loose $20.00 to $30.00 in gold value during the process. A distinguished addition to any fine jewellery collection and an excellent choice for those who appreciate exceptional designer craftsmanship and enduring style. Estate priced at $6,250.00 CAD.

Vintage Tudor are a great way to get into the watch collecting hobby without spending a boatload of money. Made by Rolex, vintage models often use the same cases and bracelets as the more common and popular parent company. Rolex have been aggressively promoting Tudor over the last 15 years invigorating the brand, making them more popular than ever. A Tudor Oyster Prince isn’t uncommon, but that doesn’t mean we see them often. Encountering one from the 1950s in good condition with a “Ranger/Explorer” dial never happens. This ultra rare honeycomb dial with the 3,6,9,12 Arabic number layout is similar to what Rolex was doing at the time.
The 1950s were a time of exploration and sporting adventures that were documented on television and in magazines. Rolex capitalized on the trend with their Explorer model. It was a basic looking watch, with easy to interpret 3 hand black dial, and a water resistant case. It had no calendar or other features to detract from its only duty of accurate time keeping. Our 34.5mm stainless steel Tudor Prince was built with the same characteristics in mind but with a white dial instead of Rolex’ black one.
The Oyster case with its screw on back, threaded crown, and domed plastic crystal are essentially the same as a Rolex, but the incredibly rare dial is the star of the show.
Over the years, dials can naturally age. Old painted lacquer dials can oxidize or craze, moisture leaks can occur, and watchmakers can slip with tools leaving small blemishes. Considering this watch was produced in early 1959, the dial is in amazing condition. Parchment patina is subtle and even, the delicate luminous material in the Alpha hands is completely intact along with the plots on the tips of the faceted hour markers.
The small Tudor rose logo and all the printed text is perfect. We were delighted to see only one service etching scribed inside the threaded case back. This potentially means the watch has only been taken apart and serviced once before. Most watchmakers leave a record of service they can reference in the future if needed; so when we only see a single etching, we can be pretty confident the watch is original.
The watertight threaded crown turns a full 360 degrees before releasing to the winding position.
If you like old Tudors and appreciate the practicality of a simple Oyster Prince, this rare dial reference 7965 is an obvious choice. The shock protected automatic winding movement is running well but is definitely dry. Its 25 lab-grown ruby jewels protect delicate wear points with a super hard perfectly smooth surface minimizing friction.
We don’t expect this watch to remain in our showcase very long before someone jumps on this opportunity. We will include a complimentary 1-year warranty for the next owner. Estate priced at $2,200.00 CAD. Stock #505-00652.
Lady’s estate rings outnumber gent’s by at least 10 to 1 with us. So it’s refreshing when we get to showcase a high quality men’s ring; especially one that’s never been worn. In this age of record high gold prices, you’re not likely to encounter a gentleman’s ring weighing anywhere near what this one does. At 17.7 grams (well over half of an ounce) you’ll know you’re wearing this one. The size 10 1/2 ring displays a fluted shoulder pattern tapering to the flat bottom shank measuring 5.2mm wide. The top of the ring measures over half an inch wide, set with high quality, channel set, baguette and round brilliant cut diamonds.
The 17 diamonds are estimated to conservatively weigh 1.04 carats and average VS-SI-HI quality. It’s nice to see the ring was not only made with upgraded 14 karat white gold, but also high quality diamonds. This ring remains in never worn, never polished condition. The original bright rhodium plating is still completely intact. The durable rhodium coating only displays a few light scuffs and scratches on the flat surfaces.
We only needed to ultrasonically clean the ring to prepare it for its next owner. If you don’t have a size 10 1/2 finger, one of our onsite goldsmiths are able to adjust the fit up or down as required. This sparkling gentleman’s ring is estate priced at $2,700.00 CAD. Stock number 116-00091.

We’ve showcased some incredible jewellery, watches, and diamonds on our website over the years, but this ring holds the title as this biggest ever. We don’t mean in price as this one is actually quite inexpensive (we’ll explain), but is sheer dimensions and weight. It’s cushion shaped outline measures 33.8mm x 28.1mm with a heavy dome profile shank of 8.0mm wide and 3.2mm tall.
It has a gross weight of over 1.5 troy ounces (48.8 grams), that’s the same a 11 Canadian quarters! Without doubt this was a ring someone had custom made to showcase the huge yellowish/brown quartz that was calculated to weigh approximately 34 carats. The quartz has been bezel set in this over top white gold ring that measures a finger size 10. Surrounding the massive stone, around the shoulders and sides are 240 round brilliant cut diamonds.
The natural diamonds have been expertly set with perfect geometric precision. It’s one thing to drill and set half a dozen stones or so, but try doing it 240 times with this sort of accuracy. Hats off to the master goldsmith who created this one, their identity will remain a mystery as ring ring contains no maker’s trademark. All of the diamonds are nicely matched of VS to SI clarity with an average colour of HI.
Here’s why we feel this ring is super inexpensive despite the $10,000.00 price. If we calculate the total gem weight of around 42.40 carats, that leaves over 40 grams of 14 karat white gold. At todays gold price (March 10, 2025) of $4,185.00 CAD per ounce, the ring contains $3,160.00 in recyclable gold content only. Our wholesale diamond price guide show a wholesale cost of around $800.00 per carat USD for diamonds of this size (0.035 carat) and quality (VS-SI-HI). $800.00 USD per carat times 8.40 carats equals $6,720.00 USD in wholesale diamond value ($28.00 USD per diamond). The yellowish/brownish quartz is likely worth a few hundred dollars if you could fine something similar.
This flamboyant extravagant creation is in excellent condition and may be perfect for the extravert in you. Its size means it could be worn anyone, man or woman. It shows only minor wear on the surface of the quartz in the form if microscopic surface scratches and some abrasions on the facet junctions. It is offered for a price not only under its wholesale replacement value, but less than the wholesale cost of just the stones and gold value. The labor value to hand make something of this quality would be at least $2,000.00. This incredible ring is estate priced at $10,000.00 CAD. Stock #206-00557.
We sell a lot of estate chains and necklaces, and for good reason. We scrutinize every one for wear and tear, previous repair work, and overall integrity. If they don’t pass our quality control we don’t hesitate to recycle them. The second reason we sell so many; wholesale is the new retail when it comes to our chains and necklaces. Most times our asking prices are actually less than their wholesale replacement cost. The third reason is our total transparent pricing policy; we ALWAYS show you the weight of every gold chain online and in person. Anyone who doesn’t display the weight does not want you to compare prices or shop around; period.
This attractive 20 inch Foxtail necklace measures 1.4mm wide and is suitable for wearing alone or with a pendant. It is secured with a spring ring clasp and shows no signs of previous repair and is in excellent condition.
At today’s gold price (March 7, 2026) the gold content in this necklace is exactly $816.00. Our estate price of just $999.00 is well below is wholesale replacement cost. If the price of gold continues to climb, we may reprice this one or decide salvage the gold value out of it. Stock #431-00976.

The Canadian connection with these earrings make them just that much more desirable. The centre two diamonds were mined in Canada, likely sourced from the Ekati mine in The North West Territories.
Even these small centre stones come with their own specific identification number that’s been permanently laser engraved into the girdle edge of each. Accompanying the earrings is a credit card size certificate of origin showing the jewellery item they are set in with product number in a folder.
A lot of extra time, effort, and expense goes into the marketing of Canadian natural diamonds. When purchased new, Canadian diamonds are noticeably more expensive than diamonds sourced from other locations in the world. Aside from some rare coloured diamonds mined in Australia, I can’t think of another supply source that come with origin information. The Canadian centre diamonds are surrounded by 56 tiny round brilliant cut diamonds, each measuring just 1mm in diameter. The square scalloped edge drops measure 8.7mm x 8.7mm and dangle freely from spring loaded French backs.
These earrings are in absolutely perfect condition showing zero signs of wear and tear. Fire and Ice Canadian diamonds can be found at select independent jewellers in Canada. The Fire and Ice website contains limited information, but does have a link allowing the user to verify their Canadian diamond using the unique serial number. These like new estate earrings come with certificates, folder, and even the original box. Estate priced at $900.00 CAD. Stock #151-00282.

Seiko is perhaps the largest and definitely the most well known among Japanese watch manufactures. Many people think they have only been around since the popularization of electronic timekeeping in the 1970s, but they were established close to 150 years ago. The top of the line Grand Seiko compete nicely with the best from Switzerland with innovative technology and design. The Prospex line feature some impressive details at a price point under the flagship Grand Seiko models. Our latest estate watch is the Prospex Alpinist SJE085J1.
It is a recreation of Seiko’s first watch made for sporting pursuits. The Alpinist was originally released for the Japanese domestic market in 1959 to meet the needs of outdoor enthusiasts looking for robust design and reliable performance. The screw back of the original helped protect the movement from dust and debris. Four large triangular shaped markers at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o:clock represented mountain peaks and north, east, south, west, compass headings. The hands and all the hour markers were treated with highly luminous material for easy time interpretation day or night.
The recreation stays true to the original design and adds a few modern features for added utility and durability. A handy yet subtle calendar display discreetly placed between the 4 and 5 marker is a useful attribute. The dome crystal has the profile of the original but is made from super hard lab-grown sapphire with the benefit of an inner anti-reflective coating adding to the legibility. The modern watch comes with a water-resistance rating of 10 atmospheres (330 feet). Our watch is number 68 of only 1959 made for worldwide distribution. It was purchased in February 2022 at a Canadian authorized Seiko agent and comes with everything originally supplied from Seiko, right down to the tags showing the price of $3,725.00 plus tax.
The previous owner even kept the foam and paper box liners. As a bonus the original 2022 purchase receipt accompanies the package too. The 1st and only previous owner of this watch is an avid outdoorsmen and this watch was worn doing everything and anything. It remains in original unpolished condition. The factory delivered bund leather strap is wearable but well past its prime. A replacement should still be available through Seiko.
We have fitted the watch with a black leather strap from Hirsh that suits its sporting nature and incorporates the original vintage design buckle perfectly.
This uncommon watch has been sold out and no longer available through Seiko. The watch is showing wear and tear in the form scuffs and scratches on the case.
The sapphire crystal remains optically perfect and scuff free. Powering the Alpinist is the thoroughly modern 26 jewel in-house designed 6L35 automatic movement. This mechanism was introduced in 2018 and is less than 4mm in height allowing the 36.6mm diameter Alpinist a total thickness of under 11.5mm despite the tall domed crystal. The movement is not chronometer rated for accuracy but expect to see around plus/minus 10 seconds per day. The watch is running great with all features operating as designed. We are happy to provide the next owner with a complimentary one year warranty. It is estate priced at $1,500.00 CAD. Stock #501-00366.
Elegantly feminine and time-honoured in design, this exquisite estate sapphire and natural diamond bow pendant is crafted in rich 14 karat yellow gold and designed to capture both charm and refined grace. Romantic yet sophisticated, the piece showcases exceptional detail and balanced proportions. The centrepiece showcases an intricately sculpted and finely textured gold bow. Beautifully dimensional, the pendant features a combination of polished and textural finishes that highlight the craftsmanship throughout the entirety of the bow and bail.
At the heart of the bow, two round brilliant-cut natural diamonds add a delicate shimmer and enhance the pendant’s overall sophistication and sparkle. The two round brilliant cut diamonds weigh approximately 0.05 carat of I1-IJ quality. Suspended gracefully below, a substantial and well-proportioned faceted oval sapphire measures approximately 8mm x 6mm, with an estimated weight of 0.84 carats. Prized for its deep, velvety blue hue, this estate example displays a beautiful medium-toned royal blue colour with lovely intensity. The sapphire is securely set in a classic four-prong setting that is designed to dangle freely, allowing movement, maximizing light reflection and colour saturation while maintaining durability. The top bail is jointed for even more added movement.
Its large size will accommodate a wide range of chain styles and sizes. We have the pendant displayed with an 18 karat box link chain that is available separately. With a total weight of 1.9 grams, the pendant offers a lightweight yet well-crafted feel, making it suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions alike. The warm glow of 14 karat yellow gold beautifully complements the rich blue sapphire and the brilliance of the diamonds, creating a harmonious and luxurious presentation. In excellent estate condition with no signs of wear, this charming sapphire and diamond bow pendant would make an enchanting gift for any occasion. Estate priced at $450.00 CAD (pendant only).

An 18 karat gold Rolex is a bucket list wish for many watch aficionados. When one thinks of a gold Rolex the usual image is that of the iconic Oyster Day-Date, likely with a President bracelet. This vintage Rolex isn’t that watch, in fact it doesn’t have a day of the week display, or even a day of the month calendar feature, and comes with a basic leather strap. This is the ultra rare 36mm reference 1012 Oyster Chronometer.
This is a watch we’ve never encountered before and we didn’t know such a watch even existed. Its existence is raises the question, why Rolex would make such a watch, who the original owner was, and what was their thought process deciding on such a simple model.
5-years prior to when this watch was manufactured Rolex introduced the famous Day-Date model. It was the first watch to display the day of the week written out in full. The Day-Date was a great success and to this day is considered the flagship in the Rolex lineup. While this model still contains a highly developed chronometer grade automatic movement, bosting the same guarantee of accuracy as the Day-Date, it does so with much less fan fair. It comes with a smooth bezel instead on the sparkling fluted bezel seen on almost all vintage Day-Date models.
Outwardly simple but made from premium 18 karat yellow gold and measuring the same 36mm case size as the Day-Date. Back in the early 60s I have to assume almost everyone buying a 36mm Oyster Rolex crafted from 18 karat would opt for the flashier Day-Date, and if we’re being honest with ourselves being a little flashy is part of the Rolex appeal. We spent a lot of time looking for comps to this rare 1012 Rolex with little success. To say this watch is illusive would be an understatement. We found close to 700 Day-Date models from the same era (reference 1803) but only two examples like our reference 1012 on the popular watch marketplace Chrono24.com. We feel ours is perhaps the most original currently on offer. We love the unique faceted arrowhead hour markers, pointy hands and especially the lollypop tail on the seconds hand.
The overall condition of the watch is good, showing minor thinning of the lugs, very slight spotting on the dial, with darkened tritium lume pigment.
The Rolex calibre 1530 powering this rare watch is considered a genuine workhorse among Rolex movements. Few were adjusted and regulated to chronometer accuracy requirements due to the difficult and time consuming process of poising the balance by adjusting the many screws in the wheel rim.
The 1500 series of movements are the very first movements created entirely in house by Rolex watchmakers and served the brand into the late 1980s.
The simplicity of the Rolex 1012 has left us captivated by its less is more approach to basic timekeeping. The classic champagne sunburst dial blends perfectly with the rich hue of the premium 18 karat yellow gold alloy. We fitted a brand new quick release, Hirsh, chocolate brown alligator grain leather strap, that suits the dressy nature of the watch very well.
With only a quick passing glance you may think this could be a vintage Patek Philippe Calatrava; but make no mistake, this is a Rolex through and through albeit a model you likely didn’t know even existed. We are happy to provide the next owner with a complimentary 1-year warranty. It does not come with any original documentation or packaging. Estate price $14,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00644.
Tag Heuer is best known for their large sporty divers watches and chronographs, often drawing on past designs from their 150 plus year history. When you think of Tag Heuer you likely don’t picture a watch that looks like this. It’s not a big, bulky, sporty divers watch. It’s the Carrera and its trimmed with solid 18 karat yellow gold. The original Carrera came out in the 60s and it has always been one of the brand’s more subtle models. This one dates from 2008 and showcases a less is more philosophy. The clean white textured dial displays only the essential information. The slightly domed sapphire crystal is scratch free with perfect optics. Quietly ticking away inside the water resistant case is an automatic Swiss made movement. The robust ETA derived 2824-2 (not the Sellita clone) mechanism is running great with all functions operating as designed. The 25 jewel movement is running well at a high beat frequency of 28,800 cycles per hour. This movement was selected and modified by Tag Heuer known as the Calibre 5 because of its reputation for being utterly reliable under adverse conditions. Versions of this movement can trace their origins to the mid 1950s. Even its contemporary configuration has been in use since the 1980s. A threaded display back showcases the movement for all to see.
Our master watchmaker performed a full servicing on the movement in March 2025. It should be good for 5 to 10 years before its next routine servicing. At 39mm diameter and 130 grams the watch is large but not overwhelming. It wears larger that the size suggests because it lacks a large bezel; it’s all dial. The solid 18 karat yellow gold bezel is in excellent condition showing only light surface scratches. The stainless steel and 18 karat gold capped links also display minor evidence of careful and occasional use.
We will happily refinish/polish the watch for you if you wish but remember, it can only be original once. This one owner watch comes complete with the endorsed warranty card from Colombian Emeralds, inner/outer boxes, instruction booklet and pouch. This is an uncommon more dressy looking Tag Heuer. It will appeal to the mature watch enthusiast looking for a classy looking, easy to read luxury watch with basic time and date display. This model seldom comes around for sale and even less often complete with box and paperwork. Included with purchase is a complimentary 1 year warranty. Estate priced at $2,750.00 CAD.

It’s unusual for us to showcase a Rolex that is not an Oyster. The Rolex Oyster case is defined by its screw-down crown, threaded case back, and crystal (either plastic or sapphire) that is secured by a tension-fit bezel. This 1960s Rolex presentation watch comes with none of those attributes.
It does however comes with some Canadian history and a legendary calibre 1520 automatic winding 26-jewel Rolex movement. This watch was awarded to a 25-year employee of Canada Shipship Lines in 1969. You’d think a Rolex given to a sailor would be the more rugged stainless steel Oyster on a bracelet.
Rolex Oysters and far more watertight and much better equipped to deal with the working lifestyle of a sailor onboard a large ship. Judging from the lack of wear and tear on the case, the absence of multiple service etchings inside the case, and general excellent overall condition; I’d say the previous owner only used this watch for special occasions outside his day-to-day tasks. Powering the 35mm solid gold watch is the 26-jewel Rolex 1520 automatic movement. If don’t recognize the mechanism you certainly know the model that also shared this workhorse calibre.
Some very collectible Submariners from 1960s through 1980 also used the calibre 1520. Robust construction and reliability make this movement a favorite of watchmakers. Excellent condition examples of these movements are in high demand by collectors wishing to restore high value Submariners. Pre-owned Rolex 1520s movements generally have prices in the $3,000.00 to $4,000.00 range. The dressy nature of this watch is evident from the beautiful silver dial, gold hands, and simple hour markers. A subtle minute track and -T SWISS T- is the only other print on the clear and legible dial. The Ts bracketing the SWISS signify the luminous material used on the hour plots and hands was made from tritium.
The heavy case (16.7 grams net with plastic crystal) was crafted from 14-karat gold and is fully polished.
The lug edges are crisp and sharp showing little wear.
The plastic crystal is thought to be original and is practically blemish free offering excellent optics. The simple dial only reads ROLEX in perfect black text; just in case the coronet logo wasn’t enough of a reminder.
A brand new 20mm black leather Hirsh strap has been fitted to this classic looking dress watch. If you want a simple dressy Rolex like nothing else on the market, this very rare presentation model may be for you.
The next owner will benefit from our complimentary 1-year (prorated 5 years) warranty. This watch does not come with any original documentation or packaging. Estate priced at $6,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00403.
Building on the success of the Heritage Black Bay, Tudor introduced a slightly more subtle sporting watch called the Heritage Black Bay 36. It’s a little smaller than the diver version but it appears larger than the 36mm size suggests because it lacks the 60-minute rotating bezel timer.
A brushed finish 18 karat yellow gold fixed bezel replaces the ratcheting timing bezel found on diver Black Bay. The dressier design actually makes for a more distinctive look than the popular yet ubiquitous diver design. Much the same as the Rolex Explorer is to the Submariner, the Black Bay 36 isn’t trying to do much other than be a pure time interpreting tool built of the right stuff. Large luminous hands and hour markers against a glossy and rare champagne dial offer excellent legibility in any situation and a slightly dressier look than the black or silver dial.
Synthetic sapphire crystal, threaded crown/case back, deployment buckle with safety flip lock on a heavy duty solid link stainless steel with 18 karat gold cap bracelet should get the job done under all conditions. I love the brightly polished centre stainless steel section showing great contrast against the brushed finish on the other links.
The distinctive snowflake hour hand, curved text, and connected minute track are Tudor’s obvious nod to the Tudor/Rolex Submariners of the past, after all this is a Heritage model. Gone is the Tudor rose logo found on the original re-issued Black Bay models but curiously Tudor is still using the traditional logo on the threaded crown.
This example is in good condition. Showing evidence of wear in the form of a few small scuffs and scratches. The watch has never been polished or refinished in any way.
It is covered by our 1 year in house Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty. Comes complete with original Tudor packaging, endorsed warranty card, and instructions.
This model has been retired and replaced with the 36mm Black Bay 1 looking pretty much the same watch with a few subtle changes that can be seen on the Tudor website priced at $8,510.00 CAD. This less is more Tudor is estate priced at $5,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00628.

This versatile ring is from Tiffany’s Soleste line of jewellery. It could be used as wedding ring, anniversary ring, or just a simple right hand ring. Its flat edge and low profile design allow it to pair with most rings. As with the majority of Tiffany designs this one is simple and traditional, but manufactured with the kind of precision not seen in most production jewellery. This is most evident in the method of stone setting. The underside shows perfectly tapered rectangular cutaways to seating the diamonds.
Most makers would simply drill round pilot holes to arrange diamond placement, the rectangular holes look more precise, make things easier to clean without compromising strength. The 21 round brilliant cut natural diamonds have been expertly French set in four prong settings with the repeated accuracy that only an experts touch can duplicate over and over.
Tiffany only use excellent to ideal cut diamonds and minimum VS clarity with G or better colour for rings like this. The Soleste line is a mainstay of Tiffany jewellery and this ring can be seen in greater detail on their website where it retails at $4,550.00. Our ring shows only minor wear, it remains in excellent condition and was just polished to a bright mirror finish.
Constructed using premium 95% pure platinum means great durability and no rhodium plating required to keep it artificially white. This lightly worn Tiffany ring comes with its original black ring box and is offered at 45% less compared to buying new. Estate price $2,500.00 CAD. Stock #121-00226.

This is another watch I really like. I have never seen one of these before. It’s 18-karat gold with a titanium bezel insert and bracelet centre sections. It is on the small side measuring 31.5mm in diameter and would fit well on a man with a thinner wrist or a lady that wants something a little bigger. It will fit a wrist size of close to 8 inches as the bracelet and case measure 20cm long.
The watch weighs 88 grams in total and looks like it was only worn on special occasions. If you assume the non precious metal components in this watch weigh around 28 grams (likely less) than leaves around $10,500.00 in just the recyclable gold content at today’s gold price (Feb. 23, 2026). Comes with its original box and most paperwork in excellent condition. The Swiss-made Omega calibre 1444 quartz movement that powers the watch is working perfectly keeping excellent time.
The two small extra hands on the dial display the day of the week along with the day of the month. The 49019121 serial number places production from approximately 1986. The estate price including a 1-year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty is $11,000.00 CAD. Stock #510-00036 e5990. 
This isn’t the most expensive diamond bracelet we’ve ever had, but I’m quite confident this one contains more diamonds than any bracelet we’ve sold regardless of price.
It measures the standard 7 inches in length which is perfect for the average woman’s wrist, but just 5.5mm at the widest point.
That’s not a lot of surface area to try to set close to 600 diamonds! Each of one these 17 facet round diamonds has been bead set by hand on every possible section.
The result is a sparkling visual assault that can’t be missed. Each of the tiny natural diamonds measures well under 1mm diameter. When diamonds are this small anything better than SI-H clarity look perfect to a naked eye. These diamonds easily make that grade and then some. Crafted from upgraded 14 karat white gold with a total weight of 8.6 grams. It is in excellent condition showing very little wear in the 30 flexible jointed sections. It is secured by a snug fitting plunger clasp. The bracelet comes with a August 2018 appraisal suggesting a retail value of $7,100.00.
Even though the price of gold has more than quadrupled since 2018 we feel a more competitive replacement value is more like $4,300.00. As a lightly worn estate item, our price is just $3,010.00 CAD. That price works out to just over $5.00 per diamond (including the gold). Stock #171-00072.
Tanzanite are one of the prettiest gems because of their ability to display different hues in the same stone depending on which direction they are viewed. The potential colours they can display are typically rich blues, violet, reddish/purple and even yellow to green. Almost all tanzanite that make it to market are heat treated, reducing the yellow green elements but maximizing the violet blue colour for which this rare gem is most prized. Even in smaller sizes like our 7mm x 5mm ovals you can see more blue when looking down the length of the stone. When viewed from the top completing blue and violet hues are evident as the they are moved. This 19 second YouTube video shows the potential colour possible in a huge uncut rough specimen. Our two tanzanite are estimated to weight 1.50 carats in total and are set into simple four prong yellow gold settings secured by friction fit butterfly backs.
The total weight including the stones is an even 1.00 grams. The set is in perfect condition. The tanzanite show no chips scuffs or scratches. They are estate priced at just $250.00 CAD. Stock #211-00199.

The original do it all luxury watch is the Rolex Turn-O-Graph. This example was the latest attempt at reviving the Turn-O-Graph “Thunderbird” model.
Need a dressy watch for a special occasion the beautiful snow white dial, highly polished case with 18 karat white gold fluted and Jubilee link bracelet links make the right statement. Going out on the boat, the 36mm oyster case (37mm by actual measurement) is water tested to 300 feet. The two-way rotating timer bezel is extremely useful as a quick reference for timing any event lasting up to 60 minutes.
For an everyday watch the Turn-O-Graph excels, tough stainless steel bracelet with crownclasp buckle, lab-grown sapphire crystal, easy to interpret dial with large red seconds hand, red calendar display with magnification lens, luminous hands/hour markers, threaded case back and crown.
Despite the versatile do it all nature of the Turn-O-Graph, they have never been popular ever since the first model debuted in 1953. It was the first Rolex to feature a rotating bezel. It showcased this useful timer feature before there even was a Submariner. This example was originally purchased in Liverpool England 2010.
It comes with its inner/outer box, and fully endorsed warranty card. This watch was regularly worn by its previous owner and displays scuffs and scratches on the case and bracelet.
We have elected to leave it in as presented condition. We would happily refinish it for no extra charge if you’d like it looking a little more like new. The marvelous crownclasp buckle with integrated locking crown trigger found on this bracelet is no longer available.
Turn-O-Graphs have once again been retired from the current Rolex line up. Rolex is a very stubborn brand, it wouldn’t surprise us to see an updated Turn-O-Graph relaunch at some point in the future.
While you can no longer purchase one of these new, Rolex still offer the more common Datejust 36 with fixed bezel, white dial and Jubilee bracelet for $12,850.00. Our Turn-O-Graph is running great with all functions operating as designed. Including Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers one year warranty the watch is estate priced at $11,220.00 CAD. Stock #505-00647.
We’re not sure if this cross with its circular hole is some sort of Celtic cross interpretation or it has some other meaning. What we do now is that it is completely hand fabricated (not cast) from multiple pieces of yellow gold all soldered together. The 47 round brilliant cut diamonds that decorate the entire top surface have been bead set by hand with rhodium plating to further enhance their sparkle. We conservatively estimate the total diamond weight at 0.75 carat of SI2-I1 clarity and JK colour. The cross measures 42.7mm x 29.9mm.
After a thorough cleaning for a few hours in our high temperature ultrasonic cleaner we were surprised to measure the total weight at 6.666 grams.
If you are a bit weirded out by this number, we’d be happy to give it a quick refinishing to remove a few light scratches, some oxidation, and a few hundredths of a gram so the finished weight isn’t so devilish. The large bail will accommodate a large gauge cord necklace or heavy chain of up to almost 5mm diameter. It is in lightly worn condition showing only the slightest amount of wear through the bail where a chain would have passed through. This hand fabricated natural diamond cross pendant is estate priced at $1,250.00 CAD. Stock #161-00281.
Ayrton Senna was a legendary Brazilian race car driver who won 41 Formula 1 races over 11 years. He died in a racing accident while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix in Italy. He is regarded as a national hero in his home country; known for philanthropy and his no holding back driving style. Ayrton won more than half of the Formula 1 races he entered that were in wet condition; this statistic is far better than any other driver. He was a great ambassador for Tag Heuer and to this day they occasionally produce special edition watches honoring the the Formula 1 icon.
This Senna Edition F1 chronograph is our latest estate watch and one of the last to pay homage to the Link series of Tag Heuer watches. Aryton wore many Tag Heuer watches and more often than not they were one of various S/el (Sports Elegance) models (later renamed “Link”). This rare Senna Edition CAZ201B is seldom seen with yellow highlights on the dial, bezel, crown, start/stop button, and strap stitching. In keeping with the unique bracelet pattern of the original S/el and Link models, this watch features the same pattern embossed on to the black leather strap.
I think Mr. Senna would approve of this subtle tribute to one of Tag Heuer’s most defining designs. The large watch measures 44mm diameter and features a ceramic tachymeter bezel scale, self-winding automatic movement with 12-hour chronograph with date display.
The back of the case is embossed with an image of Ayrton in his helmet.
This watch is in like new original condition. It has hardly been worn and never been polished or refinished. It comes complete with special box, certificate, instructions, and unendorsed warranty card.
Even though this is a racing inspired chronograph watch, it’s still a Tag Heuer with the features normally associate with a professional diver model. The hardened lab-grown sapphire crystal, threaded crown, and threaded case back give this watch a water resistant rating of 200 meters. Luminous pigment in the hands and hour markers allow good visibility in low light situations.
Its tough leather strap is infinitely adjustable in length by a cleverly engineered locking deployment buckle with slide lock.
The watch is working great and keeping excellent time with all functions operating as designed. We are including a 1-year warranty for the next owner of the rare Tag Heuer Formula 1. Estate priced at $3,500.00 CAD. Stock #520-00185.
If your significant other is giving you a hard time about your watch collection, let them know there are worse ways to spend your disposable income. Here is more evidence supporting my argument. Our latest estate watch was purchased from us in late 2001 for just $2,250.00, and at $5,190.00 today I think it’s still good value for an entry-level collector Rolex.
This watch is a little unusual because it is an Air-King but it also has a calendar feature. This combination was only available in commonwealth countries like Canada, Australia, etc. All other countries got the Air-King without the date feature.
I believe this is the only automatic watch that Rolex made during this era that had a calendar feature but wasn’t chronometer rated. These 34mm Air-Kings can be worn by men or women on the original stainless steel Oyster bracelet or a leather strap of your colour choice that gives the watch a completely different character.
The Air-King Date features an extremely sturdy and reliable calibre 1520. This 26 jewel automatic winding mechanism was initially developed in 1957 and stayed in service in watches like the no date Submariner until the late 1980s.
A more than 30-year run speaks volumes for reliability. This Air-King has been worn off and on by various owners for over 50 years.
The full length 13 folded link Oyster bracelet should fit almost anyone and is in decent condition. It is showing some dents and dings with some sage but has many decades of useful service life left.
The logo on the buckle is very well worn but still displays some relief. We are happy to supply the next owner of this vintage (and somewhat rare Rolex) with a complimentary 1-year warranty. The watch is estate priced at $5,190.00 CAD. Stock #505-00255.

International Watch Company’s Fliegeruhr (pilot’s watch) is a formidable piece of equipment. The large stainless steel case measures 44mm in diameter and is rather thick at 16.6mm. The robust dimensions are necessary for the purpose it was designed for, an easy to use, easy to interpret timekeeping chronograph. The large dial features simple Arabic hour markers and a set of large hands. All the important timekeeping references wave been treated with highly luminous pigment for use under any lighting condition.
We see plenty of luxury Swiss made chronographs that come through our estate department but this one offers an addition function.
That extra button at 10:00 o’clock can pause the silver chronograph seconds hand and allow a red “shadow” seconds hand to continue recording elapsed seconds. Push the button again and the silver hand instantly catches up and hides away until a spilt-time is needed again.
The different colour registers are not for aesthetics. The chronograph minute and hour registers are charcoal coloured to distinguish them from the 9:00 o’clock constant seconds register. A large day-date calendar at 3:00 o’clock round out all the utility this watch has to offer.
Time keeping duties are handled by IWC calibre 79230, itself a highly modified Valjoux 7750. IWC watchmakers added the split-seconds module, and adjusted the 29 jewel movement in 5 different positions for a higher standards of accuracy.
The nicely decorated movement is protected from the effects of magnetism by an iron liner hidden underneath the heavy stainless steel threaded case back.
This watch is in original condition, it doesn’t appear refinished or polished. The original dark brown strap is decent condition but the factory single end keeper has been replaced with two generic versions.
The oversized winding/setting crown is both easy to use and protected from accidental adjustment as it is threaded into the case.
It is running great and keeping very good time with all functions operating flawlessly. There are no original documents or packaging with this IWC. It comes with our complimentary 1-year warranty. Estate priced at $5,970.00 CAD. Stock #501-0342.
Tudor has been Rolex’s effort at capturing the mid-range luxury watch market since 1952 when they launched the first Tudor Oyster Prince. Focusing on that mid-market price point has allowed them to be a little more adventurous and diverse in their offerings, with something like the popular Black Bay mirroring Rolex’s iconic sporty diver look and this Heritage Ranger taking on the has sport/utility watch segment.
Ranger model 79910 has an all-brushed finish with just a discreet polished edge on the bezel. A matte black dial with ultra legible luminous hands and markers that plot out only the essential time interpretation information, this watch doesn’t even come with a calendar display.
The 41mm diameter case is equipped with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, screw-on case back, and screw-down crown embossed with the old logo Tudor rose.
It’s powered by a Swiss-made Tudor Calibre 2824 (ETA 2824) that features a 38-hour power reserve. Tudor’s watchmakers upgrade the specification on the standard movement with better hairspring and a higher grade pallet fork. The mechanism is adjusted to within chronometer specifications without the official certification and extra cost associated. The Oyster case Ranger is water-resistant to 150 meters and was based on a design from the late 60s. Tudor offered the Heritage Ranger 79910 with four different factory-issued straps, two of which accompany this watch: the leather strap with folding steel buckle and flip-lock, plus the NATO-style, one-piece camouflage fabric strap with its own steel buckle (never been installed on the watch).
This watch appears to be in unworn condition. There isn’t even the slightest scuff, scratch, or blemish on the case, buckle or strap. There are still some protective plastic stickers on the buckle and case back.
It is accompanied by an inner/outer box, endorsed Canadian authorized agent warranty card (January 2015), documents, hangtag, paperwork, foam box liner, and even the original protective white cardboard box sleeve. Included with the purchase is a complimentary 1-year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty. Estate price $4,500.00 CAD. Stock #505-00191.
Here’s a real knuckle-duster for you; a digit-dominating 20.7mm long ring encrusted with 180 hand-set round brilliant cut diamonds that completely cover the top half of the ring. All have been perfectly matched for cut and SI1-KL quality.
The warm colour is imperceptible to the untrained eye thanks to the whitening effect of the warm 14-karat yellow gold that surrounds and secures the diamonds. The 18.6-gram ring is hollow across the top but features a sheet-style backplate instead of an open grill.
This allows for easier cleaning but also prevents skin irritation that can sometimes happen with an open grill. The statement ring currently measures a finger size 10 with some room to adjust. The estate price is $3,850.00 CAD. Stock #116-00063.
It’s not too late to be a Valentine’s Day hero. Heart shaped jewellery has been around forever and they are always consistent sellers in our estate department. This traditional diamond frame design offers a slight style tweak with some tapered baguette cut diamonds interrupting the double row of round brilliant cut diamonds. The diamonds are set in a rising/falling wave pattern around the frame showcasing a continuous change in height around the circumference adding some visual interest.
The 27 diamonds are conservatively estimated to weigh 0.75 carats if brighter than you’d expect for I1-JK quality. Measuring 19mm across, it’s big enough not to be missed but not so large that dominates your appearance.
The pendant is suspended from a light weight, 18 inch curb link necklace keeping the focus on the pendant. The chain and pendant weigh over 4.3 grams in total. Something like this should give you a lot more milage than a flower arrangement that only lasts a few days.
Even with the high price of gold there is still great value to be found in our estate jewellery. The necklace and pendant are in like new condition and estate priced as a set for $990.00 CAD.
Celebrate love, movement, and timeless elegance with this exquisite “dancing” diamond cluster heart pendant, beautifully crafted in luminous 14 karat yellow gold. Designed to captivate, this romantic piece showcases a striking cluster of diamonds that “dance” and delight with every movement, creating a continuous cascade of light and sparkle.Comprised of a dynamic cluster of five uniquely shaped natural diamonds, suspended at the centre of an elegant, polished 14 karat gold heart-shaped frame. With a total diamond weight of approximately 0.22 carats with a strong I1-HI quality. The central diamond cluster has been thoughtfully arranged and skillfully set with an invisible setting technique in order to maximize sparkle and overall impact, making the cluster arrangement of five diamonds look more like a single large diamond. A dazzling “dancing” effect, the focal point of this enchanting design, is created by the precision-engineered dual-point suspension setting, that allows the central diamond cluster to rock freely within the stationary heart shaped frame.
Even if you try to hold the pendant absolutely stationary the cluster rocks back and forth. No matter how hard you try the diamonds will just keep on dancing. Designed to enhance movement by catching and reflecting light from every angle, the diamonds “dance” brilliantly at the slightest movement, showcasing the lively radiance of the diamonds at the “heart” of the piece. Paired with an 18-inch fancy link 14 karat yellow gold chain, that perfectly complements the pendant’s design while maintaining a refined and delicate presence.
With a total gold weight of approximately 3.61 grams, this piece feels substantial and well-crafted, yet remains comfortable for everyday wear. Versatile and meaningful, it transitions effortlessly from day to evening and layers beautifully with other fine jewelry. Symbolizing enduring love, connection, and romance, the pendant balances classic charm with modern elegance. A beautiful symbol of love and movement, this playful yet elegant diamond heart pendant makes a thoughtful, romantic gift that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, birthdays, or any special occasion. It comes with an IGI report that accurately describes the pendant and components.
Sophisticated style that sparkles beautifully with every heartbeat, this estate pendant and chain are priced together at $780.00 CAD. Stock #161-00386.

The Rolex Datejust is the watch that made Rolex a household name. Still in production today, this is the single most popular model Rolex has ever created. Cosmetically speaking this model has changed little since it was introduced to mark Rolex’ 40 anniversary way back in 1945. 80 years later it’s still in style and still in demand by people from all walks of life by both men and women.
The watch transcends fashion styles that come go and is admired by every generation. If you are looking for a blue chip watch, there is no better than any Rolex Datejust. When this watch was new it likely only cost around $300.00 CAD. The name Datejust may seem a bit awkward, but it makes perfect sense given some thought. Most watches slowly mechanically turn over the date display starting around 10:00pm taking several hours to fully turn the disc to reveal the next ,nnnnnnday of the month. Rolex produced a quick turn mechanism advancing the date in the blink of an eye within a few minutes of exactly midnight. This seemingly simple process makes the date display absolutely true and “just”, hence the unusual moniker.
Modern Rolex production is estimated at around one million watches per year making a contemporary Datejust very common. This wasn’t always the case. It took Rolex 60 years to produce the first 1 million watches total production of all models. According to the 2,221,538 serial number and inside case back stamp, this example was produced some time during the 2nd quarter of 1969.
When some people see the made in U.S.A. bracelet, they think the watch (or at least the bracelet) is a fake. This is not the case. Rolex produced many of their bracelet is the U.S. to get around steep import tariffs applied to non American produced watches.
In the early the mid 20th century there were plenty of made in the U.S.A watch brands that benefitted from this protection. Today every one of those original brands are out of business despite the protectionist actions. Some of those old American watch brands have been revived, but only in name as foreign buyers bought up the rights for pennies on the dollar. Our latest Rolex Datejust 1601 features a 26 jewel self-winding movement calibre 1570 tuned to chronometer specifications for accuracy.
18 karat yellow gold hands and hour markers display the time on a uncommon “linen” texture pale champagne dial. The classic 18 karat yellow gold fluted bezel frames the dial and provides a function seal compressing the plastic crystal against a flange on the bezel. This pretty detail isn’t just an iconic styling detail, it keeps this watch water-resistant.
The rest of the watch is high grade stainless steel that wears up well to all of life’s day to day challenges. This watch is in good condition for a 56 year old example. It is running well, keeping very good time with all functions working as designed. It was serviced in late 2022 and has hardly been worn since. The Jubilee bracelet will accommodate a man’s (or woman’s) wrist size of close to 7 1/2 inches or less.
We are happy to provide the next owner a complimentary 1-year warranty. You can still find a 36mm Datejust with an 18 karat white gold bezel on the Rolex website for $12,050.00 CAD. Ours is estate price at $5,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00554.
Skull themed jewellery certainly isn’t for everyone, but I have to admit it definitely has a macabre attraction. We don’t see a lot of skull jewellery around here but when we do it seems to be custom made and made to a high standard. Our latest is this 10 karat yellow gold creation that weighs close to one full troy ounce at 29.1 grams. It was custom made by an unknown jeweller and tests approximately 10 karat purity. There are no karat or maker’s trademarks stamped inside the thick shank. You’re going to need a large finger for this one as it measures a size 12. The thick heavy construction limits our ability to adjust the fit any more than 1 or 2 sizes in either direction. Lacking facial features skulls are empty emotionless symbols. The art of the unknown jeweller has given this skull a sinister grin with intense blue sapphire eyes expressing neither friend or foe intentions.
The sapphire eyes are set deeply within the eye sockets adding an uneasy feeling to the disturbing smile. I really like this ring and the sturdy feeling of its heft. Each rounded oval sapphire has been conservatively estimated to weight 0.50 carats. They are very well matched of medium to dark royal blue colour with good clarity. Every skull jewellery item needs some flames thrown into the design and this ring doesn’t disappoint.
Both shoulders feature overlapping stylized flames running down the shank depicting a sense of intense combustion. For the right person this ring would make the ultimate accessory. This ring is in perfect condition showing little to no wear. The natural sapphire eyes remain scratch free. This statement ring is estate priced at $2,900.00 CAD. Stock #206-00568.

We’ve only ever had one other piece of Pomellato jewellery pass through our estate department before; as soon as we saw this pair of earrings we knew they would be our second. The Pomellato style is unmistakably organic, smooth and flowing as if formed by nature. Polished and faceted cabochons using colourful natural gems are mainstay design elements for most Pomellato creations. You don’t see many of the traditional gems like sapphire, emerald, and ruby; instead they focus on unusual hues of quartz, topaz, tourmaline, garnet, peridot, and malachite. Established in Milan Italy in 1967; so it comes as no surprise their style continues the tradition of excellence coming from one of the world’s great design centres. Our compact little earrings are part of the M’ama collection from the early part of the 21st century. They are only around 14mm in height but weigh a stout 3.8 grams.
Naturally they have been handcrafted from rich 18 karat yellow gold. Each earring contains a perfectly polished pinkish purple rhodolite garnet of exceptional quality. Each garnet measures 6.5mm diameter and is estimated to weight 1.75 carats. The high refractive index of garnet and the tall dome profile of the cabochon cut gives these stones an optical effect similar to a powerful optical lens.
Each earring is secured with a tight spring loaded signed hinge that closes over a wire post that is perfectly integrated into the earring body.
Pomellato retired this design a few years ago but the unique style still looks great today. The Pomellato brand is definitely worth having a look at if you love extraordinary design and skillfully handcrafted jewellery. From what information we can gather about these garnet M’ama earrings we feel they cost around $2,400.00 USD before they were retired. Our estate pair are in perfect condition, showing no wear of any kind. They are estate priced at $1,500.0 CAD. Stock #211-00266.

Catch the Olympic spirit with this 1976 $100.00 gold coin commemorating Canada’s first time hosting the Olympic games, 50 years ago in Montreal. The Italian winter Olympics are in full swing, and hopefully Canada will bring home lots of gold at these games. At the 1976 Montreal Summer games, Canada failed to win a single gold medal. This was the only time a host nation has not won at least one gold metal and something that has not been repeated since. This $100.00 face value Canadian coin was minted from 14 karat gold and contains 1/4 ounce of pure gold. It measures 27mm diameter (about the same size as a Canadian looney).
At current gold prices (February 7, 2026) this coin contains just under $1,700.00 in gold value. These coins are not uncommon as 650,000 were produced. It is secured in hand made ribbon bezel frame also made from 14 karat gold adding another 3.4 grams to the pendant. It is suspended from an 18 karat oval link belcher style necklace measuring 18 inches long and 2.6mm wide.
We don’t encounter many chains manufactured in England but this one is proudly display a tag proclaiming its heritage by Curteis Jewellery England.
This well made necklace is hallmarked with UK stamps noting its gold content, maker, city of assay, and year of production. The chain is secured by an oversized lobster clasp that is easy to use and very secure. The necklace/pendant show very little wear, the coins displays light scuffs and scratches and remains in original unpolished condition. Maybe this beautiful pendant will bring some luck to Canada’s athletes at this years Olympic games and bring home lots of gold medals this time. Canadians are resilient and the winter games have always been our place to shine. The necklace and pendant came to us as a set but we will break them up should you only want the chain or pendant. The set is estate priced at $4,350.00 CAD. Stock #435-00314.

Without question the Rolex Submariner is the world’s most popular sports watch. For 60 years the Submariner has been the choice for those who want a watch than can operate with accuracy and reliably in almost any environment. For the first few decades of production the Submariner was only available in stainless steel. In the late 70s, an all gold version debuted, a few year later a two-tone version became available. The gold and two-tone models where signs of changing times and a change of corporate direction for Rolex. They realized they had become a luxury lifestyle statement in addition to one of many other high quality watch manufacturers.
Their watches were not only being purchased by those who required the specific capabilities, but more and more by people wanted to be part of the Rolex story. Adding diamonds and sapphires to a watch that was originally developed as a simple time telling watertight tool contribute zero function. In fact the sparkling hour markers framed in 18 karat yellow gold bezels detract from the legibility, but they sure do look nice.
The champagne dial along with other gem set dials have come to be know as “serti” dials. Serti comes from the French word “sertir”, meaning “to set”, specifically in reference to gem setting. Rolex describe all of their watches set with gems faces as serti dials, but most Rolex fans refer mostly to the sports references with gem dials as serti models. The professional models have always been the most popular and we see our fair share of them but rarely do they turn up with these expensive optional dials. I can only recall seeing 3 or 4 of these serti Submariners pass through our estate department over the pass 30 years or so.
Our latest Submariner dates from 1990. The original champagne dial is in excellent condition, no discolouration, moisture stains, or blemishes of any kind. The long 12 link bracelet 93153 features a Rolex replacement buckle with an OP date code from 2006. The 18 karat and stainless steel bracelet shows only minor sag.
The rotating timer bezel turns counterclockwise with precision allowing a timer display of up to 60 minutes with 30 second intervals. The threaded triplock crown feels like new with a full turn and a half before popping out to the winding position.
The sharp edged sapphire crystal shows a few areas of abrasions, the tiny chips are difficult to see without magnification and are commonly seen on many Rolex from this era. The watch is running great with all functions operating as designed. Don’t let the pretty face fool you, this watch is still a Submariner and was warrantied watertight when new to a depth of 1000 feet.
The watch still passed our vacuum test but we suggest you don’t wear this watch for deep dives. These valuable original tritium dials are no longer available and a replacement service dial from Rolex is likely to cost around two thousand dollars. Considering the rarity, serti dial Submarines don’t cost nearly as much as you’d expect. Looking at what’s available on the secondary market, there appears to be only around 1 serti dial for every 100 regular dial Submariners. We are happy to provide the new owner with a complimentary 1-year warranty. This watch does not come with any original documentation or packaging. It is estate priced at $16,500.00 CAD.

When it comes to Cartier we get more requests for their “Love” line of jewellery than anything else. Somehow the simple look and basic design of the screw head has really captured the imagination of jewellery lovers. Cartier themselves describe the design like this. “The LOVE collection began with the iconic bracelet created in New York in 1969. An expression of Cartier’s design vision, this oval bracelet can be identified by its radical, innovative motif that dares to show its screws. Above and beyond its design, LOVE is a collection, a physical embodiment of feelings.”
It started with a bracelet but now includes rings, bracelets, earrings, pendants, and cufflinks. They come in gold or platinum, with or without gem embellishment. Our latest “Love” item is this band style ring that was purchased in September of 2025 in the Czech Republic. It comes complete with the original invoice, certificate, large travel pouch, plus the original envelopes. It measures a European size 63 (North American 10 1/4).

It is possible to size this ring but the screw spacing will become disrupted. This comfortable 3.6mm ring can be worn by a man or woman. Crafted in traditional 18 karat yellow gold, it weighs just under 4 grams. Yes it’s a simple design but is still complicated to manufacture. The totally flat surface has been perfectly divided by the 8 screwheads. The pattern has not been simply cast in place but machine engraved with the type of perfection that no casting process could duplicate.
We have opted to leave it in original unpolished condition. It shows light scuffs and scratches associated with only a few months of use. These minor blemishes could be removed while you wait should you choose to make it look more like it was never worn.
This ring is currently shown on the Cartier website with a retail price of $1,920.00. Our lightly worn example is estate priced at $1,100.00 CAD. Stock #401-00317.

The world of luxury watches is dominated by old fashioned spring driven mechanical movements. Over the past 100 years, we’re moved on from steam driven vehicles, gramophones, vacuum tube radios, and a million other forms of early technology, but the mechanical watch movement continues to be state of the art for the worlds luxury watch makers. Many of the top Swiss brands have completely abandoned superior accuracy quartz electronic movements decades ago. The occasional ladies quartz models are sometimes equipped with a quartz movement, but larger sporty watches are mostly made with automatic spring driven mechanisms. Breitling embraced quartz technology for a long time in their specialty AeroSpace models, and they returned the the sports quartz market a few years back with the introduction of the very successful Endurance Pro series. Our latest estate Breitling is also a quartz model, the 45mm limited edition Seawolf M73390 in gunmetal finish stainless steel on rubber strap.
This diver chronograph is water-resistance rated to 3,300 feet (1000 meters), equipped with a 12-hour lap time chronograph, one way 60 minute bezel timer, compass heading chapter ring, 31-day calendar, luminous hands/markers, anti-reflective coating on a lab-grown sapphire crystal and of course that exceptionally accurate quartz movement.
Breitling’s thermally compensated chronometer quartz movements are accurate to less 30 seconds per year! The high capacity lithium battery inside the large watch should last up to 5 years. Breitling only made 1000 of these watches in gun metal finish. Attached to the soft black rubber strap is a locking buckle with built in micro adjustment.
The watch is in like new condition and functioning flawlessly. It does not comes with any original packaging or documents. Included with purchase is our 1-year warranty and travel case. Estate priced at $3,500.00 CAD. Stock #515-00115.

I’ve been baffled ever since I saw my first Turn-O-Graph; why isn’t this model more popular? In fact it’s never been a top seller since the 1953 introduction, but I think it is one of the best Rolex designs. The Turn-O-Graph is the true do it all design, especially so in two-tone configeration. It seems only very few appreciate the added functionality of the two way timer bezel. Most who have purchased a Datejust opt for the simple fixed fluted bezel variety. I’m sure even Rolex can’t figure out why it hasn’t been more successful. They persisted with the model updating it for over 5 decades until it was recently retired around 10 years ago.
Although not the most profitable watch from Rolex, it is notable for a number of reasons. It was the first watch to introduce the idea of the rotating timer bezel way back in 1953. It is considered the father of the wildly successful Submariner diver model. It was also the first professional pilot watch. In the 1950s it was used by pilots for navigational calculations. Later in the same decade it became the official watch of the US Air Force acrobatic Thunderbird display team. The Turn-O-Graph is also known in North America as the Thunderbird due to this association. Our example appears to be in original condition, showing far less wear than you’d expect from a watch over 40 years old. According to the 7.4 million serial number the watch dates from around 1983. The silver dial with 18 karat yellow gold hour markers and hands is dressy enough to wear to any black tie event, but also can be casual and sporting.
The polished 18 karat gold centre links of the Jubilee bracelet are all luxury along with the solid 18 karat gold textured rotating timer bezel. The 20 link 7 1/4″ Jubilee bracelet shows some sag and a touch of stretch but has many decades of life remaining. If your wirst is larger we should has extra links in stock for purchase.

The dial and hands are perfect, every one of the tritium marker plots is completely intact showing just a touch of tan patina. The plastic crystal has a few light scuffs and scratches but they can easily be polished away while you wait. This watch has a vintage look with modern features like quick set calendar setting with high-beat/hacking movement.
For every vintage Turn-O-Graph you encounter, expect to see close to 20 of the common Datejust 16013 of era that are currently on the market. The rotating bezel of the Thunderbird gives the watch a slightly larger presence on the wrist compared to a regular 36mm Datejust.
This watch does not come with an original box or documents. Including a one year complimentary Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty this uncommon Rolex watch is estate priced at $8,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00638.

Jewellery should be fun, and I can’t think of anything more fun when it comes to jewellery than a colourful 23.75 carat white opal ring! It’s more than the weight of this monster opal, it’s how the weight is distributed.
White opals are opaque, so being cut overly deep does nothing to enhance the appearance, it just makes them difficult to set and weigh more. This opal is all about how is faces up, and it faces up huge, measuring 36.0mm x 20.4mm and only 5.7mm in depth.
The depth is more than enough to provide adequate strength but not so deep as to add useless additional weight. What you get with this one of a kind ring is a genuine rainbow coloured party on your finger. The cabochon cut opal is bezel set with a complete frame of gold to protect the gem’s edges. If a 23 carat opal isn’t enough, it has been embellished with 34 round faceted natural rubies measuring 1.8mm diameter. The bright red accents add a further 1.00 carat of gem weight to this over the top dinner ring.
It measures a finger size 7 and can easily be made bigger or smaller to fit any finger you wish. It’s not just about the monster opal, this custom made ring was crafted to a high standard using over 13 grams (net weight) of 14 karat yellow gold. Large rings require structural integrity and thoughtful design. A solid shank measuring 3.1mm wide with cathedral shoulders ties the pierced contoured gallery together.
The large opal exhibits classic pinfire play of colour characterized by a mesmerizing pastel colours arranged in tightly packed pinpoint flashes of spectral colours scattered across the gem’s surface.
Still images can never do a ring like this justice, this playful ring must be seen in person. Almost impossible to duplicate and estate priced at $3,250.00 CAD. Stock #206-00652.
Pretty much any vintage Rolex is a desirable thing. Some of the professional models from the 1960s and 70s have seen their value escalate well into 6 figures for exceptional rare examples. The esteemed Geneva based company’s most popular offering has been somewhat left behind. The Datejust model was introduced in 1945 at the same time Rolex was celebrating their 40th anniversary. It was quite revolutionary for the era being the first chronometer grade automatic winding wristwatch to display the date in a small window on the dial. The name Datejust may seem a bit awkward, but it makes perfect sense given some thought. Most watches slowly turn over the date display starting around 10:00pm taking several hours to fully turn the disc to reveal the day of the month. Rolex produced a quick turn mechanism advancing the date in the blink of an eye within a few minutes of exactly midnight. This seemingly simple process makes the date display absolutely true and “just”, hence the unusual moniker. Modern Rolex production is estimated at around one million watches per year making a contemporary Datejust very common. This wasn’t always the case. It took Rolex 60 years to produce the first 1 million watches total production of all models. This example is serial number 1,071,990. After hours of scouring the internet and speaking with various Rolex aficionados no one has seen one like this before.
The golden brown dial with black text is a colour combination we’ve never encountered. Occasionally vintage black dials from the period can turn a deep chocolate brown over time but these always have white or gold script lettering. Perhaps this was a silver or champagne dial with black writing that somehow colour shifted to this marvelous hue. If this is the case we can’t find another example anywhere. The luminous tritium plots are mostly intact and the period correct dauphine style hands with rare tapered ramped hour markers are also original.
The rest of the watch is pretty much what you’d expect for a watch that was made in the fall of 1964. Wear and tear are appropriate on the case and fluted bezel. We don’t believe the watch has been refinished before. The USA made hollow link jubilee bracelet is showing the expected sag but this style of bracelet was never tight even when brand new. An original fold over buckle closes snugly with a satisfying click.
Powering the watch is a 26 jewel Rolex manufactured calibre 1560 in excellent condition. There is no rotor rash scaring on the plates or case back. We just performed a full mechanical overhaul to the mechanism along with a successful vacuum test for water resistance after installing a new Rolex crystal.
When servicing the watch we were careful to maintain the original finish on the case and bracelet. It can be refinished many times but it can only be original once. With pricing of used and estate professional models quickly becoming out of reach for most, vintage Datejusts could be the place to see the next wave of collector interest. Including a 1 year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty, this curious bit of Rolex history is estate priced at $9,250.00 CAD. Stock #e11031 505-00172.
Huggie earrings are customer favorites. Compact design, comfortable, and easy to wear are their key features. This pair is even more versatile as they are reversible. The traditional front side showcases a deeply textured XXXX pattern, while the back has been polished to a mirror finish.
Shiny or patterned, it’s up to you depending on your mood. This two in one pair of earrings are not only on great design, they are about as robustly built as they come. They measure 8.0mm wide with a diameter of just over 1/2 of an inch.
The thick cast sections measure 0.7mm thick and weigh a total of 8.15 grams (over 1/4 of an ounce). Heavy gauge wire posts snap into the lock with a reassuring click letting you know they won’t be going anywhere. Finding sturdy jewellery at good price is becoming increasingly difficult with the high cost of gold.

It’s not always the complex elaborate designs that catch our eye when it comes to a piece of jewellery for our Vintage Spotlight. We certainly didn’t plan on this simple ball pendant to showcase but there is something about it that grabs your attention. The highly polished and bright-cut sphere sparkles like the world’s tiniest disco ball. No front or back to the sliding rolling pendant, just a 7.8mm ball machine engraved with incredible precision. Each of the flat surfaces twinkles with the slightest movement.
The 18 inch rolo style necklace also has been given the bright-cut treatment as each link has 4 microscopic flat beveled sections. They are imperceptible individually, but collectively they add to the overall visual impact. Of course a precisely manufactured item like this was crafted in Italy. The necklace is secured by a sturdy lobster clasp.
This item is in like new condition and has never been polished, the factory applied rhodium finish is fully intact. The pierced ball pendant slides effortless over the rounded links and will always stay perfectly centred.

We’ve seen a lot of diamonds come through our shop at 52 Dunlop St. West in DownTown Barrie over the past 67 years, but I don’t ever recall having any like these. The latest additions to our estate collection are two Internally Flawless, natural colour, fancy yellow diamonds. In terms of rare minerals, diamonds are scarce but not too uncommon. Natural yellow diamonds on the other hand are indeed few and far between. Our in store diamond database contains more than 600,000 natural diamonds (of at least 0.25 carat) from the world’s largest cutting factories, but only around 13,000 are coloured diamonds.
Of those, less than 10 are this size or larger and of the same or better quality. Not quite 1 in a million, but you get the idea; these diamonds are truly rare. Diamonds like this are not readily available or replaceable.
Yellow diamonds occur when trace amounts of nitrogen are present when the rough diamond crystal formed billions of years ago. If a diamond grows with a trace amount of boron, its color will be blue. These yellow diamonds are both of Internally Flawless (IF) clarity. This means there are no detectable inclusions visible by a trained diamond grader viewed at 10 times magnification. While there is nothing like seeing them in person here are a couple 26 second YouTube videos 1.17ct. pear and 1.24ct. cushion. In person, these diamonds are far more vivid and bright. Both diamonds come with GIA reports from the spring of 2011. The full Gemological Institute of America reports can be seen by clicking these links 1.17ct. pear and 1.24ct. cushion. The pear shape has been set in an American made 18 karat yellow gold tradition solitaire engagement ring.
The simple 5 prong design features a flattering double gallery setting the enhances the fancy yellow colour and provides excellent security. We are showing it with a crescent shaped matching 18 karat wedding ring.
The wedding ring contains 0.10 carats of white SI-GH bead set round brilliant cut diamonds. What sort of jewellery do you think one of these exceptionally rare diamonds would look good in?
We’d be happy to create something unique just for you. I’m thinking perhaps a drop pendant for the pear shape and maybe a halo style ring for the cushion shape. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination. These diamonds are estate priced at $7,000.00 CAD (stone only) for the pear shape and $9,000.00 CAD for the cushion shape. The complete pear shaped ring set is priced at $8,550.00. Stock numbers 191-00079, 191-00080, 101-00656 (engagement ring only), 101-00655 (wedding ring only).

Big diamonds are certainly exciting and very sparkly, but to get a good one of 5.00 carats or more is going to cost you over $100,000.00. Coloured gems like this incredible tanzanite offer a rich splash of colour that no diamond can match for a fraction of the cost. At Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers we get some nice sized diamonds from time to time but at an estimated 7.50 carats this rare stone makes quite a statement. The slightly violet royal blue colour is as good as it gets for tanzanite it’s a 10 out 10. The 7.8 gram 18 karat white gold cushion shaped halo setting is a very contemporary looking design that’s quite delicate looking with thin split shank shoulders and a filigree gallery. 60 diamonds in the halo and down the shoulders are of very good VS-SI-GH quality weighing an estimated 0.30 carats. Tanzanite is an incredibly rare gem compared to relatively plentiful diamonds, they’re only found globally in one location near Mount Kilimanjaro Africa and this source is not expected to last. The ring was purchased new in 2009 and has seen only occasional use. The only evidence of wear is a couple of tiny nicks on the table facet (just visible in the top photo). These miniscule marks can only be seen under extreme scrutiny and only the most sharp sighted. Ready to go in a finger size 7 1/2. The saturation and intensity of the violet/blue colour must be seen in person as my photography skills do not do this amazing stone justice. Finding another Tanzanite of this size, shape and quality would be next to impossible making this ring most likely a one of a kind creation. Estate priced at $8,050.00 CAD. Stock #e9258 206-00261.
The Tag-Heuer Carrera and Porsche Carrera are both pinnacle products for each brand. TAG Heuer’s Carrera line was part of a great race in the mid-1960s to develop the first automatic winding chronograph. Heuer partnered with Breitling and Hamilton to face off against Zenith. Together they launched their Calibre 11 six months before Zenith’s El Primero hit the market. The caliber 11 was shown in a line of automatic chronographs that debuted in Geneve and New York. The launch included TAG’s Carrera, Autavia, and Monaco models. The original Carrera itself was designed and launched in 1963 by Jack Heuer as the first chronograph (not yet automatic) specifically designed for professional drivers. He was inspired by La Carrera Panamericana Mexican Road Race; one of the most famous events in auto racing history running only from 1950-1954. Porsche competed in the grueling Mexican race and won its class in 1952.
The name Carrera is reserved for Porsche models of special high performance specification and race developed models. Our latest Carrera is a sporting watch that keeps the tradition of high performance mechanical timekeeping with an analogue stopwatch feature. The stopwatch registers are distinguished by the bright orange tips on the hands for hours, minutes, and seconds. The start/stop pusher button is also highlighted with and orange band. This is our first Carrera to feature a blue dial with a super hard and resistant ceramic tachymetre bezel scale.
The sharp edged bezel has historically been made of stainless steel that is prone to getting dents and dings as it sits outside the case diameter. This design should fend off the pesky impact marks. The sunburst blue dial with silver register rings is very attractive, seeing some colour on a Carrera is welcome as most we see are black. This watch is in lightly worn original condition showing only minor scuffs and light scratches on the case and bracelet.
If you’d like a current edition blue ceramic Carrera, it is shown on the Tag Heuer website for $8,950.00. Our lightly worn Carrera comes with its warranty card (not dated), instructions, and packaging. The watch is running great and keeping excellent time. Included with purchase is our complimentary 1-year warranty. Price is $3,100.00 CAD. 520-00178.


Top-quality tanzanite is really something that must be seen in person! Our 6.88-carat oval displays the best of what tanzanite is capable of, partially because we just got it back from our gem polisher after a cleanup on the facet surfaces.
The newly polished gem measures 13.35mm long by 10.80mm wide and is perfectly eye-clean. The very well-cut gem displays even flash across its surface and thanks to its trichroism morphs from vivid blueberry indigo to strong violet as it moves.
The ring that holds it was custom-made around it and opted for a warm 18-karat yellow gold four-prong setting to set off the colour of the gem. The rest of the ring is heavy white gold deeply channel set with perfectly matched VS-HI quality princess cut diamonds.
They equal approximately 1.00 carat in total weight and almost blend into the brightly rhodium-plated shoulders. The 11.3-gram ring currently measures a finger size 7 with some room for sizing. The estate price is $7125.00 CAD. Stock #206-00383.
They say “fortune favors the brave”, and it does take some nerve to buy into the market at an all time high (January 23, 2026). On the other hand you could have bought gold last year when it cost $4,100.00, six months ago at $4,500.00, or 30 days ago at $6,140.00 and it still would have been at an all time high. They also say “the trend is your friend” and the trend is definitely moving up and to the right. Please DO NOT take investment advice from your jeweller as we may be bias to the allure of all things gold, but it is our opinion that everyone should own a piece of financial insurance that is completely disconnected from paper debt notes.

Just back from The Gemological Institute of America. We are super excited to be show you this natural fancy colour diamond weighing over 6 carats! GIA described its colour simply as “Yellow-Brown”, but there is so much more to it than that. The subtleties of colour are hard to describe especially in a sparkling diamond.
Our amateur attempts at this YouTube video do not truly capture just how pretty this diamond is, in person this diamond showcases a much more orange/peach hue. You must see this one in person. A high refractive index and rainbow dispersion levels that are unique to diamonds modify the body colour by throwing in sparkling twinkles of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, and everything in between.
The soft earthy tone combined with the brilliance that only comes from a diamond results in an optical experience no ordinary coloured stone can compete with. The full August 8th, 2024 GIA can be seen online here.
The colour is by far the most important characteristic in this diamond . The carat weight came in at a robust 6.18. The I1 clarity reveals a crystal, a few feathers and several other minor inclusions. The grade setting inclusion looks a little like a crab if you use your imagination and squint a bit.
The cut grade is not commented on by GIA on colour diamond reports, but the depth of 62%, table of 62%, appropriate crown height/angle, and nice pavilion depth/angle would have it grading good to very good. The polish is very good, good symmetry, and faint fluorescence. While we hesitate to call this diamond a one of a kind, it certainly wouldn’t be replaceable. After scouring our database of over 500,000 diamonds and searching the internet, we couldn’t find a round diamond of similar size and colour anywhere. This vintage diamond is set in a classic platinum setting accented with 6 thin tapered baguette diamonds on the shoulders.
We estimate the baguettes weigh a combined 0.12 carats or slightly more of VS-H quality. The thin shank measures only 1.8mm wide, and the ring measures a finger size 8. This skinny shank design is right on point for modern tastes.
It’s flat edge will fit with almost any wedding band or anniversary ring. Placing an accurate value on a diamond ring like this is no simple task because comparables simply do not exist. The ring is accompanied by a 1998 appraisal from Ontario Gemological Service in London Ontario and another from D.C. Taylor Jewellers in Owen Sound Ontario from 2023.
We don’t know exactly how old this diamond and ring are, but the classic ring style has been around for more than 100 years. Based on the geometry on the colourful diamond we are guessing it dates from the around the 1960s. The hand made ring is in 100% original condition and shows only minor signs of use in the form of scuffs and scratches on the shank and claws. We decided to leave this ring showing its original patina. Our onsite goldsmiths can refinish it to like new in less than 10 minutes if you’d like it looking like new. There are no worn tips and the wire gallery displays no worn sections from rubbing against another wedding or anniversary ring.
For a diamond ring we think is at least 60 years old, it is in remarkable condition. The GIA report doesn’t document and nicks, chips, or scratches on the diamond surface. If you love the different and unusual, you must make some time to come and visit this spectacular natural diamond with natural fancy colour. Stock #101-00593.

Heart shaped jewellery isn’t for everyone one, but the theme has always been popular with designers and customers alike. Some of the oldest styles continue to be admired and always seem to sell through regularly. Sometimes a some very interesting heart shaped items pass through our estate department. This heart shaped dinner ring is a striking example of a unique piece that does a great job showcasing the fancy yellow natural diamond in the centre. The proportionally attractive yellow diamond measures 7.5mm x 7.0mm and looks much larger than its estimated weight of 0.91 carat.
The yellow gold bezel frame serves triple duty as it not only makes the stone look larger by adding a frame, it also protects the sharp point, and enhances the yellow hue of the SI1 clarity centre stone. A double row of SI1-HI bead set single cut diamond in white gold provide excellent contrast for the yellow diamond and yellow gold. This is a substantial ring measuring over 16mm at the widest point with a sturdy shank tapering to 4.8mm. It weighs in at just under 9 grams in a finger size 7.
One of our onsite goldsmiths can easily adjust this ring up or down a few sizes if needed. Natural yellow diamonds are scarce and finding an attractive example pushing 1 carat in a heart shape is quite rare. Of over 5,000 fancy colour natural diamonds on our data base, less than 200 are heart shaped, and just 7 are yellow of this weight or larger.

Every once in a while a ring arrives in our estate/vintage department that makes our entire team stop dead in their tracks and just stare. This is that once in a while ring. Pretty much the definition of less is more luxury. Just a simple double gallery platinum setting with 2 slender baguette cut diamonds. The shoulder diamonds draw your attention to the beautiful marquise brilliant cut secured in a six claw head. When this ring arrived we immediately sent the diamond to the Gemological Institute of America in New York City for a quality report. Unfortunately, Canada has no grading service that is internationally accepted like a GIA report. It costs a lot of money for this certificate ($205.00 USD plus 2-way shipping and insurance) but it’s worth the peace of mind knowing the world’s foremost authority on diamond grading has examined your diamond. While we are fortunate to have a GIA trained Graduate Gemologist and diamond graders on staff, there is no substitute for an actual GIA laboratories report. Every important diamond should come with a Gemological Institute of America report.
If you’re considering a significant diamond purchase, insist on a GIA report, there is no substitute. The full December 5 2019 report can be seen online here. In addition to a very high F colour, VS1 clarity and no fluorescence, it’s the lovely outline of this particular marquise with its length to width ratio of 1.73:1.00 plus a tiny table percentage of just 58 that makes it so pretty. These characteristics may seem trivial but collectively they make a huge visual impact that needs to be seen in person.
I can’t imagine a better setting than the pure luxury of platinum with the two accent baguettes running down the shoulders. The ring is in excellent condition and ready to wear in a finger size 5 1/2. If you’d like to use this diamond in a different setting we’d love to custom make whatever you have in mind.

It’s no wonder lab-grown diamond are so popular given the price advantage they have over natural diamonds. Depending the size and quality, lab-grown diamonds can cost 98% less than comparable natural earth mined diamonds. The ridiculous price discrepancy is something many stores promoting lab-grown fail to mention. If you’re considering a lab-grown diamond, do yourself a favor and shop around. This diamond ring set contains no lab-grown diamonds, they have not been heat treated to alter colour, and no clarity enhancement. They are 100% natural in every way.
The centre stone weighs 1.10 carats measuring 6.6mm in diameter. The clarity is SI1, with a warmish MN colour, and a very good with a tiny table facet encouraging more dispersion. The warm MN colour is controlled quite well in the all rose gold setting. This type of colour range is never seen in modern lab-grown diamonds. The rings are preowned but have never been worn, and are in perfect condition. Solid construction with thin shanks of just 1.6mm width for a modern delicate look. Running down both shoulders of the rings are 47 small round brilliant cut natural diamonds of SI-GH quality.
The rings measure a size 8 and can be adjust up or down as required. We’ve seen many examples of lab-grown diamond rings like these selling for similar prices. With this set you get 100% natural earth mined diamonds for the estate price of just $3,826.00 CAD. Stock #101-00626 & 121-00240.
One of the most popular styles of gold necklaces is the “paperclip” link. They’ve been around for a long time but the style really took off about 5 years ago. The basic paperclip design is nothing more than an elongated flat sided oval shaped link. Our latest estate necklace is a similar to a paperclip but this link has balls at opposite ends of every other link. The double balls are soldered together but allow a sliding movement between each link.
This modification takes the basic paperclip design to a whole new level. The fit and finish of this necklace is excellent. Made in Italy to the typical high quality standard we expect from luxury Italian manufacturers. It measures 10mm wide at the ball sections and 18 inches in overall length.
While it is of hollow construction the gauge is quite heavy. The necklace weighs 26.9 grams (0.86 troy ounce). It is secured by an oversized sturdy lobster clasp.
The price of gold has done nothing but go up over the past few years and the trend still appears to be going higher. This necklace is in excellent condition and looks unworn. Estate price of $5,040.00.00 CAD. Stock #431-00901.
We’ve seen this ring before but the versions we’ve had have been from the late 1800s. This example is a modern homage to a vintage staple and happens to partner a very on trend chevron shaped wedding ring. The set is from Ben Moss Jewellers and boasts a Canadian diamond at its heart. Weighing in at 0.51 carats of bright I1-H quality with an excellent cut. The centre diamond is protectively secured in a hexagonal frame with six claws. The integrated shoulders have been set with 16 graduated round brilliants of SI2-I1-GH quality, drawing the eye into the center.
The wedding ring is assembled with an additional 23 round brilliants of I1-I2-HI quality that bring the total weight of the 2 ring set to 0.91 carats. The 3.4 gram pair are made from bright 14 karat white gold and measure a petite finger size 5. The wedding ring is brand new but was never used. Both are accompanied by their original boxes and paperwork stating a sale price of $3,109.38 plus sales tax. The manufacturer’s supplied certificate of valuation states a replacement value for the engagement ring only of $4,150.00.
Our pre-owned price for the like new complete set is just $1,890.00 CAD. Stock number 101-00061 e12687.
You won’t hear us very often on the radio and you’ll definitely never see us on TV, we like to let our products speak for themselves when it comes to soft marketing. This custom made halo design ring is a great example of our specialty. We love estate, vintage, antique jewellery and the outstanding value it offers our customers. This time of year you’re going to be bombarded with offers and claims of huge discounts and the best pricing. We’d rather just rather softly showcase high quality pre-owned jewellery at truly unbeatable values. For the same (or less) than others are offering synthetic laboratory-grown diamonds, we can offer you an outstanding quality natural diamond in a beautiful hand made contemporary setting.
The centrepiece of this modern creation is a bezel set round brilliant cut natural diamond of SI1 clarity, FG colour, with an excellent cut. When viewed through polarized light, a round brilliant cut diamond with an outstanding cut will displays “Hearts & Arrows” through the table and pavilion. We discovered taking a photo of the 8 arrows in a mounted stone is a very difficult procedure. After many attempts we did a reasonable job capturing the arrows in this image.
The hearts on the bottom side of an excellent cut diamond can’t be viewed with a mounted stone.
We love the antique look of the discreet milgrain bezel setting, it’s a refreshing twist on the popular halos we usually see set with 4 claws. The centre diamond is surrounded by a cushion shaped frame containing tightly set brilliant cut diamonds of VS-SI-GH quality. The thin 2.2mm wide shank is also decorated with high quality small diamonds. The additional stones bring the total diamond weight to an estimated 1.25 carats. Measuring a size 7, this ring will comfortably fit a lady with an average sized finger.
It can be adjusted up or down a size or two by one of our onsite goldsmiths in just a few days. We are very confident our estate price is below the wholesale cost to replace this custom made ring. It comes with a 2017 Gem Scan Laboratories Certificate of Evaluation. The document suggests a replacement value of $12,500.00.
We feel this is a rather optimistic opinion, something more like $5,800.00 would be competitive and appropriate for insurance replacement value with new. As a like new estate item, we have it priced at only $3,480.00 CAD. Stock #101-00591.
My curiosity got the best of me today; with gold priced at $6,800.00 CAD per ounce (January 22, 2026), I had to know how much gold value was in this heavy Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow. The movement and antimagnetic steel cover weigh a combined 28.1 grams. I’d estimate the lab-grown sapphire crystal, crown, stem, chronograph pushers, a couple rubber gaskets and spring bars can’t weigh more than 7-10 grams all together. This leaves an approximate net weight of 190 grams in premium 18 karat rose gold. At today’s gold price this amounts $31,150.00 in just the gold value!!! Our estate price for this rare Speedmaster is less than 10% over just the gold content.
The following is our original post for this rare Speedmaster.
We have written and discussed previously the significance of the Omega Speedmaster. It was the watch selected over many other major watch brands (including Rolex) by NASA to be the watch “flight qualified” for all astronauts. From the Gemini 4 and of course, the Apollo 11 mission. It was the first watch worn on the moon. In fact, the old-school hand-wind Speedmaster Professional mechanical watches were standard issue well into the space shuttle program. The Omega Speedmaster Professional remains one of several wristwatches qualified by NASA for all manned spaceflight missions.
The history of the Omega Speedmasters begins in 1957 with the introduction of Omega’s very first Speedmaster reference CK2915. A chronograph designed to be robust, sturdy, and reliable. It originally was intended to be used as a timekeeper for racing or aviation when split seconds count. The Speedmaster has evolved over the last 7 decades adding more models, variations, and changes to the case shape and dial, but the original ’57 Speedmaster or pre-moon Speedmaster remained an admired and desired look. Our latest Speedmaster takes the basic concept into a more luxurious design, featuring solid 18-karat case and bracelet construction. The old hand wind 1861 movement found in the Moonwatch has been replaced in this model with Omega’s caliber 3303.
This 33-jewel movement adds automatic winding, superior accuracy standards, a lengthy 55-hour power reserve, and a useful 31-day calendar.
The luminous broad arrow hour and minute hands are reminiscent of the first Speedmasters, and the red 1957 is an obvious acknowledgment of the debut year for the model.

The watch is freshly serviced and shows evidence of use. There are a few tiny impact marks on the sapphire crystal edge, but the viewing area remains in excellent condition. The most significant area of wear is the edges on the tachymeter bezel from the 8:00 to 11:00 o’clock position. The wear looks much worse in the images than in person. 
These sharp and flat polished areas on the bezel are prone to impact dings and scratches on all Speedmasters, a little more so on the softer 18-karat luxury versions. We can always polish the edge a little bit to lessen or completely remove this wear, but the debossed printing may be slightly affected. The scale printing could also be completely removed leaving a simple polished bezel, which would actually look quite nice. We’ll leave that decision up to the new owner. Constructed from premium 18-karat rose gold this watch is a true heavyweight despite measuring 42mm in diameter. With the full complement of 21 links (7 are removable), this watch weighs over 227 grams! The bracelet with concealed clasp shows almost no sag and zero stretch.

We’ve opted to leave this watch in its original unpolished condition. It could be refinished and polished at the expense of leaving some gold on the polishing wheel and losing some of the subtle case/bracelet details.
This watch was purchased new at Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers when we were authorized Omega agents. It comes with the original wooden Omega box (the cuff is missing), chronometer hang tag, original navy blue dial, timing report, and vacuum testing result report. Our master watchmaker performed a full overhaul of the movement in March 2023. The freshly serviced mechanism is running well within chronometer accuracy standards.
We are happy to provide the new owner with a 1-year warranty. Stock #510-00125.

Buying previously owned high quality jewellery can be great value. This beautiful 18 karat gold necklace is for sale at just 39% more than the value of only its gold content.
Too bad you can’t buy a good used car for 39% more than its metal content. Once your car is totally worn out it is only worth $250.00 to $300.00 per ton!!! “The trend is your friend”, gold continues to escalate in value almost every day. If we could only go back in time 20 years and load up on gold when it was trading at $500.00 per ounce; today (Feb. 22, 2025) it is selling for $4,176.00 per ounce. It’s hard to describe this style of chain and I certainly don’t know its name. It consists of yellow gold double wedge shaped links turned 90 degrees on each other connected with white gold circular rings measuring 4mm diameter.
The complicated necklace measures 23 inches long and is secured with a large circular lobster clasp with a swivel base allowing the clasp to spin and twist. We know nothing about the “dinor” label located a few links from the clasp.
We couldn’t find any information about this manufacturer online. The clasp is stamped 750 (metric equivalent to 18 karat) along with a MK logo, we tested various sections of the chain to confirm gold content and are confident of the premium 18 karat white and yellow gold construction.
This mysterious chain may not be truly unique but we have certainly never seen anything quite the same. It is suitable to be worn with a pendant or by itself. The long 23 inch length can easily be worn by a lady or man. It is estate price at $8,400.00 CAD. Stock #431-01079.
Wholesale is the new retail, if you know where to shop. There are great opportunities to be had in our large selection of estate jewellery. Some of our gold jewellery is priced barely over its recyclable value and occasionally even under it. Our better quality natural diamonds with Gemological Institute of America reports are always priced better than the competition and often priced at or under wholesale replacement cost. Our latest estate natural diamond is a great illustration of that. We are very confident this is the best value oval diamond of this size/quality currently on the market. Oval brilliant cut diamonds are the most requested shape, and have been very popular alternatives to round diamonds for a while now. Our latest estate ring should prove to be very popular for someone looking for a high quality natural diamond engagement ring. The full February 2016 GIA report can be seen online here (original laminated report not available).
The 1.51 carat diamond is an eye clean SI1 clarity with a very good F colour, excellent polish, very good symmetry, and no fluorescence.
It exhibits a very attractive length to width ratio of 1.36:1. It has been secured in a custom made, four prong double gallery ring setting with 22 good sized natural accent diamonds running down the shoulders.
Each shoulder diamond has been expertly French set in 4 prong settings. The 3.4 gram ring has been crafted in premium 18 karat white gold. It measures a 7 and can be adjusted up or down a finger size or two. The ring remains in excellent lightly worn condition. A light polish and fresh rhodium plating would be all that is required to make it look like new. Its flat edge offer an endless selection of possible wedding or anniversary ring choices when the time comes.
No need to purchase an expensive custom made wedding ring to fit a specific contour, this one will fit and compliment almost anything. We encourage you to compare and shop around the value this ring offers. We are very confident you won’t find better. This ring is estate priced at $10,500.00 CAD.

The sapphires you’re likely to encounter at your the local jewellery store certainly don’t look like this, either in size, colour, or transparency. This is a very special ring that we are thrilled to showcase for you. We don’t see many 7 carat sapphires of even marginal quality normally.
We think this example comes from Ceylon (Sri Lanka). The bright, sightly violet blue is typical from this part of the world, but not the size. It’s cushion shaped dimensions of 11.8mm x 9.5mm x 6.4mm suggest it weighs somewhere around 7.15 carats.
Sapphires make a great alternative to diamonds when it comes to an engagement ring. They are second hardest of all gemstones, their colour is stable and doesn’t fade over time. They can also stand up to heat encountered when the ring is being sized or retipped. The most famous recipient of a sapphire engagement ring was the late Princess Diana who received her 12 carat oval Ceylon sapphire in 1981. From what we understand, Prince Charles purchased the ring as an off the shelf item from luxury jeweller Asprey in London for the equivalent of $60,000.00 USD back in 1981.
Today her original ring is being worn by Catherine the Princess of Wales as her engagement ring. The only regal connection we can make with our version is the “royal” blue hue. Styled in much the same fashion as Diana’s on a smaller scale, our ring is surrounded by 14 round brilliant cut diamonds (just like Diana’s). It is also crafted in premium 18 karat white gold as is Diana’s. The shoulders on our estate ring have been pave set with an additional 68 tiny brilliant cut diamonds. All of the natural diamonds are of SI-GH quality. A decorative filigree scroll pattern keeps the ring from being top heavy and adds some delicate elegance to the design.
This ring is in remarkable condition looking almost unworn. It still retains its original finish and has never been repolished or re-rhodium plated. There is zero wear on any of the claws securing the sapphire and diamonds. The ring measures a slightly larger 8 1/2 but can be made a few sizes smaller if necessary. This would be a very difficult ring to replace as Ceylon sapphires of this size and shaped are quite rare and very expensive. Engagement ring or dinner ring, this one of a kind sapphire would make the lady in your life feel like a princess for the rest of time. It is estate priced at $17,500.00 CAD. Stock #206-00518.
This Cartier ring has an amazing feeling on the finger. A soon as you feel it you know it is of high quality. It weighs well over two thirds of an ounce and it is premium 18 karat gold. At todays gold price of $5,775.00 Canadian (May. 21, 2025) this ring contains over $3,300.00 is simply the value of gold it contains! The compound curved top isn’t simply simply a square dome, but a gentle exercise in soft gentle creases at the corners disappearing in the centre.
The optical effect is difficult to describe and impossible to photograph. The large footprint is over 4.5 square centimeters but is easy the wear if you have a finger close to a French size 58 which is around 8 1/2 to 9.
The hollow back of this design allows it to fit a slightly larger finger than the size suggests. Cartier designers did it right with this ring the smooth edges and low profile make it surprisingly comfortable. The wide shoulders and thick 5.5mm shank bottom help to keep this ring from spinning on your finger. The finger size, gold purity, and markers marks are clearly stamped inside the ring.
The lightly engraved Cartier signature, and serial number are almost completely invisible but can mostly be seen under magnification but not seen in photographs. Our goldsmiths applied a perfect polish to the completely smooth surfaces leaving a perfect mirror finish to this statement ring.
This is the sort or ring that looks right at home on a middle or index finger. Looking like it just stepped off a Paris fashion runway, this rare Cartier estate ring is priced at $$3,600.00 CAD. Stock #401-00296.
Forgive our photography, this irradiated teal diamond is exactly the colour of a Montana sapphire in person. But, being a diamond, it is gifted with diamond high dispersion (sparkle) and fire (converting white light into coloured light). Which results in a brooding gem that dances between teal, bright green, and blue.
The rectangular princess cut weighs approximately 1.00 carat of an almost eye-clean I1 clarity thanks to its darker tones disguising the grade-setting inclusions. The shoulders and halo of the ring are studded with 72 petite round brilliant cut diamonds of nice VS-G quality. They bring the total diamond weight of the ring up to 1.40 carats.
The ring itself is solidly constructed from brightly rhodium plated 14 karat white gold and currently measures a finger size 6 1/2 with some room to adjust. The estate price for the like-new ring is $3,150.00 CAD. Stock #131-00146.

Forty years ago you walked into a jewellery store, saw a sparkly ring that appealed to you, and you bought it; simple. I suppose today that still happens from time to time, but our customers are interested in the quality, the pedigree, and most of all assurance they are receiving excellent value. The best way to determine value is to make sure the jewellery is described correctly and documented accurately. Accurate grading is the only way to comparison shop, and we welcome opportunity to demonstrate the excellent value of our estate diamonds and jewellery.
Our latest estate diamond ring has just been updated with our custom made platinum setting using two of the original tapered baguette diamonds. The original setting was decent but showed a little wear on the shank and somehow just didn’t showcase the centre diamond to it’s potential. After some consultation with an interested customer (thanks Nicola) we settled on this traditional platinum design. The freshly created ring is in keeping with the spirit of the original but is now ready for several generations of enjoyment. Here are a few before and after images showing the transformation.
The difference in colour between white gold and platinum is very apparent when viewed side by side. We sent the large centre diamond to The Gemological Institute of America for a full grading report in January 2024.
The full report can be seen online here. 1.19 carats in weight, SI1 clarity, I colour, fair cut, excellent polish, good symmetry, and strong blue fluorescence were GIA’s opinion of this diamond. While it was there we spent a little extra to have the report number laser etched in the diamonds girdle.
In case you lose the original laminated GIA report you can always look it up online and print off a copy. The cut is bright with lots of sparkle and brilliance, it could be brought up to excellent standards at the expense of around 10 to 12% loss in weight. That’s always the tradeoff when cutting natural diamonds; go for a perfect cut or try to retain some extra weight. If this diamond were to be recut, the diameter wouldn’t change, only the depth would be altered, so it really wouldn’t look any smaller in a setting.
The strong fluorescence is a unique characteristic that only some natural diamonds exhibit (lab-grown diamonds do not fluoresce like this). When exposed to invisible long wave ultraviolet light some natural diamonds glow an eerie chalky blue colour like this.
It’s a neat party trick that goes unnoticed until you’re getting your nails cured under UV light or you see the phenomena at glow in the dark bowling or somewhere like that. Set on the shoulders of the new custom platinum ring are two of the four original tapered baguettes. A pair of small round brilliant diamond are bead set after the baguettes and blend nicely into the low dome profile of the 2.2mm shank. The four high quality accent diamonds add an additional 0.20 carats of VS-GH sparkle. The 5.6 gram ring measures a finger size 8 and can be adjusted down as required. The classic design has an almost totally flat edge, making wedding ring selection very easy.
If you’d like a different style of ring or other piece of jewellery, this diamond can be purchased separately for $4,000.00.
The brand new never worn custom made setting without the centre diamond is also available separately for $1,250.00. The diamond or complete ring comes with the original January 2024 GIA report, and our traditional blue presentation box. This estate ring is estate priced at $5,250.00 CAD. Stock #101-00574.

When this diamond ring arrived it needed 4 new claws, as they had worn thin over more than 20 years of continuous use. We figured before making the necessary repairs, we might as well add some extra value by sending the diamond to The Gemological Institute of America for a grading report. The diamond ring already came with a DC Taylor appraisal conservatively grading the diamond an SI2 clarity with an H colour.
I’m happy to say the diamond actually graded a slightly better SI1-H from the GIA. The complete October 15th, 2021 report can be seen online here.
Be extremely careful buying fancy-shaped diamonds. There are no universally accepted standards for cut, geometry, and proportions for fancy shapes. Thankfully this diamond is nicely cut. The table facet of 74% is a little larger than optimum, but it is still good, all the other proportions are quite nice. The girdle edge is a pleasant medium to thick, many poorly manufactured princess cut diamonds have very thick to extremely thick girdles that add nothing but extra weight. Far too many princess cut diamonds are cut waaaaaay too deep. This example has a depth of 72.7% which is appropriate for a square/rectangular princess cut. The overall dimensions of 5.88mm x 5.32mm are much larger than many 1.00 carat princess cuts.
There are 1.00 carat princess cuts out there that measure as small as 5.0mm x 5.0mm. Make sure the jeweller you are considering buying a fancy shape diamond from can explain how the cut affects the price and sparkle of a diamond. This bright and brilliant diamond is set in a simple 4 prong solitaire with a flat shank. The premium quality 18 karat white gold setting weighs in at a substantial 5.7 grams in a finger petite size 4 1/4.
Fortunately, the high-quality, solidly constructed ring can be made up to 3 sizes larger if needed Our onsite goldsmiths can accomplish this task in only a few days. If you like this diamond but would prefer a different setting, bring us your ideas. We’d love to create a custom one of a kind piece of jewellery for you. The complete ring with 4 newly repaired claws (not completed yet) is estate priced at only $4,690.00. The diamond alone is priced at $4,060.00 CAD. Stock #101-00136 e14471.
They say diamonds are forever, and it is thought that natural diamonds are between 3 to 4 billion years old, but they are not indestructible. Diamonds have directions of grain, similar to wood. In certain directions it’s possible the cleave or split them along their grain as you would split a log. Before people learned to cut and polish diamonds with diamond dust, cleaving them was the only way they could be fashioned into something that sparkled. This antique ring was likely hand crafted 100 years ago during early Art Deco period.
During its long life perhaps it was exposed to a significant impact at just the right angle to cause the centre diamond to get badly chipped. This could have happening a month ago or maybe 80 years ago, we’ll never know but somehow the centre diamond became damaged. It is still secure in the setting and sparkles, but it does look a slightly dull compared to the others.
There is a good chance the original owner never even realized it was damaged. This ring was likely a cherished item that stayed with the same owner for a lifetime. By the shape of the inner contour of the decorative gallery we know this 18 karat white gold ring started off life as an average size 6 to 7.
At some point in the past it was made significantly larger to its current size 10 1/2. The original owner’s fingers likely got larger with age or perhaps they developed arthritis, so the ring was made larger to accommodate. Other than the chipped centre diamond, the ring is in very good condition, showing excellent detail and fine pierced filigree work.
As far as the damaged diamond goes, we will replace this diamond at no charge for the next owner. We likely have a genuine antique European cut diamond in stock of the same quality as the four others that are well a matched I1-HI quality. At the same time we hope to bring it back down in size to a more average 5 1/2 to 7 1/2. This would relieve stress on the filigree gallery and generally make the ring more structurally durable. With a new diamond and size adjustment there is no reason why this ring can’t last the rest of your life. These styles from the 1920-1930s are universally admired and are always steady sellers in our estate department. Including a new diamond and sizing down, this antique 18 karat dinner ring is estate priced at $1,200.00 CAD. Stock #131-00185.
Decent emeralds are far more rare than diamonds and finding a large one with a rich green colour and excellent transparency is next to impossible. The finest natural emeralds of this size can wholesale cost over $10,000.00 USD per carat! While this one isn’t a perfect 10, it does display excellent colour with reasonably good clarity and is nicely cut with dimensions of 9.0mm x 8.8mm. We’ve calculated it weighs approximately 2.62 carats.
It has been set in this 14 karat white gold pinwheel cluster design. The braided ribbon design features 36 round brilliant cut diamonds bead set in the six sections.
An additional 18 small diamonds accent the 2.1mm wide shoulders. The 54 diamonds are estimated to weigh 0.55 carats and are of very good VS-G quality. The ring doesn’t appear to have ever been sized before and remains in original condition. If you don’t have a size 7 finger, one of our onsite goldsmiths can adjust the fit from a 5 to a 9.
A square stone in a scalloped edge setting is not something often seen but the unusual combination works great. This ring is estate priced at $3,990.00 CAD. Stock #206-00561

This premium quality engagement/wedding ring set was crafted in Canada by award winning designer Noam Carver in Montreal. Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers is proud to be the exclusive agent for Noam Carver in the area. We sold this set to a long time customer of ours in 2018.
She recently decided to reset her diamond into a yellow gold setting for a new look. We accepted the original set (model B022) on trade toward a new yellow gold set.
Our large 2.10 carat estate old European cut antique diamond was looking for a home and just so happened to perfectly fit the Noam Caver original ring setting.
A full description of this 150 year old diamond can be seen on our website here. These 18 karat white gold rings are still available from Noam Carver and come with a retail price of close to $7,000.00 CAD. They are in excellent condition, the only wear they are showing is the super white rhodium finish has mostly worn away.
A fresh rhodium plating can easily be restored but we are waiting until the new owner confirms the size 6 set fits perfectly. Rhodium plating is this finishing touch for most white gold rings and is only done after alterations and adjustments have been completed. The rings contain 45 French set small round brilliant cut diamonds all secured using 4 tiny beads per stone for added security (no shared claws here). Each ring is individually serial numbered and comes with its lifetime warranty certificate.
The 1.7mm wide rings fit together with puzzle piece accuracy thanks to the contoured wedding ring edge.
They weigh 5.3 grams in a finger size 6 and can be adjusted up or down a little. You can buy the 2 ring set complete with the antique centre diamond for $10,075.00. If you have your own diamond we’d be happy to secure it into the rings for $3,075.00 CAD. Stock #141-00034 (2 piece set) and 191-00183 (2.10ct. diamond).

And now for something completely different. We’ve never been known for our selection of fine furniture, but this little coffee table definitely belongs among our vintage and estate treasures. This coffee table is more than worthy to be in our estate collection as it contains 136.35 troy ounces of sterling silver (over 9.3 pounds). This unusual curiosity was produced by the Franklin Mint from 1974 through 1976. The table stands a little over 2 feet tall by 22 inches wide. Contained in 2 pull-out drawers under the glass are the flags of the United Nations countries as they were in 1974.
This is a snapshot of world political history cast in high-quality 925 sterling silver ingots. A few of the 135 countries represented in this collection no longer exist today. According to the Franklin Mint website, each silver flag ingot cost $9.50 in 1974, the entire set cost $1,282.50 USD more than 50 years ago. These sets are quite rare as many of the 7731 produced were melted down just a few years later when the price of silver spiked from just a few dollars per ounce to almost $50.00 CAD in 1980.
Finding a complete set without missing components in excellent condition is almost impossible. The set comes with its original hardcover book outlining the symbolism and meanings of each country’s flag.
History collectors and those who recognize the value of silver may have an interest in this rare item. The average weight of each medallion is over one troy ounce and is 92.5% fine silver. At today’s silver price (January 26, 2026) the recyclable silver content alone in this set is over $19,000.00 CAD. The complete collection including the table and book is estate priced at $19,000.00 CAD. Stock #913-00064.
An intricate and thoughtful design from our Barrie neighbour Michael Smiley Fine Jewellery! The entire set takes its cue from the 0.98 carat princess cut diamond center. The halo’s corners have been cut off and patterned with keystone accents to help draw the eye in.
Those cut off corners were set with diamonds and between them a diamond shaped gallery medallion with yet another diamond at its center.
The beveled theme continues onto the shoulders and the fitted wedding band. Each ring of the soldered together set has been accented with three diamonds per shoulder; those on the engagement ring are thoughtfully graduated. All told the ring is hand set with 38 petite round brilliant cuts of VS1-H quality to match the brilliant center. To keep with Michael’s demand for high quality the set is made from 7.2 grams of 18 karat white gold. They currently measure a finger size 4 3/4 with some room to adjust. $7,150.00 CAD.

“1 carat has a nice ring to it”. It’s a great slogan that respected local jeweller D.C. Taylor has been using in recent marketing. This ring was supplied brand new by D.C. Taylor Jewellers in 2014. It contains 34 tiny round brilliant diamonds that total 0.27 carats of VS-GH quality. The centre diamond is calculated to weigh in a 0.73 carat resulting in that nice tidy figure of 1.00-carat total weight. The centre diamond measures 5.75mm diameter showing good finger presence; especially when framed in the rose gold diamond set halo. The very good cut centre gives lots of sparkle and twinkle; you’d never guess the clarity is an I1. Its grade setting crystal inclusion goes unnoticed except under extreme scrutiny and then only by those with super sharp close up vision. With lots of artificial magnification under darkfield illumination, this photomicrograph reveals the inclusion with relative ease.
As Gemologists and certified diamond graders, we love teaching clients how the various aspects of diamond quality affect pricing. We have the knowledge and the tools to show you all the characteristics that are important and the ones that make little difference in typical viewing conditions.

We’ll admit it, the market for natural diamonds is challenging right now but it’s far from dead. In the meantime, the race to the bottom for laboratory grown diamonds is getting ridiculous. We can sell you high quality (VVS2-F) 2.00 carat lab-diamonds for less than $500.00 USD; that’s only around 2% of what the natural equivalent costs.
At the same time, pricing for natural diamonds is definitely lower than a few years ago. We’re finding current wholesale prices for natural diamonds is quite firm with no discounts on well cut, desirable qualities, in decent sizes. That’s where our estate diamonds offer a compelling option. Most of our customers would prefer to buy natural diamonds as there is nothing special or remarkable about a mass produced lab-grown diamond. They are an interesting example of modern technology but leave us cold knowing they can easily be replaced of reproduced for pennies on the dollar. Our latest natural diamond ring is a classic 3 stone design made by Birks Canada.
The ring features a large round brilliant cut estimated to weigh 1.70 carts according to its 7.9mm diameter. Its high clarity grade of VS1 could be improved on if it was recut to an excellent grade. This would modestly improve its brilliance and dispersion by revising the geometry, but more importantly it would remove a tiny chip on an upper girdle facet.
Personally we wouldn’t spend the money recutting it because the chip can only be seen under magnification and doesn’t pose any durability risk. The colour of the centre diamond is conservatively estimated to be a K, displaying just a hint of warmth. The large centre stone is flanked by a pair of old European cut diamonds weighing an estimated 0.58 carats in total. They are of nice SI clarity with a fancy light brownish hue. The subtle colour goes almost unnoticed when 90% of the attention is on the large centre diamond.
The ring appears to be a Birks custom. To see shoulder diamonds set in crown settings while the centre is secured in a double gallery setting is an unusual combination. We speculate the two brown shoulder diamonds were once earring settings that someone reimagined for use in this ring.
The ring measures a finger size 6 with a flat edge 2.9mm wide shank. This type of style fits perfectly flush with any flat edge wedding or anniversary ring. It takes millions of years and just the right conditions for mother nature to create gem quality diamonds like this, not just a few weeks in some far away foreign factory. This natural miracle of nature diamond ring is estate priced at $8,000.00 CAD. Stock #101-00595.
Although we spend a lot of time and effort on luxury Swiss watches, they are just a part of what makes us tick😊. High quality affordable jewellery has been part of our DNA since the 1950s. Small jewellery items deserve a Vintage Spotlight from time to time. There always seems to be a pretty bracelet, necklace, or pair of earrings that catches our eye. This set of dangling drop earring is just such a piece. Expensive no, impactful yes. Bright-cut balls and rice shaped sections appear to be diamond set, but it is just an optical illusion.
Sharp faceted surfaces and tiny circular polished impressions are very convincing highlights looking like there is more going on here than just bright white gold. Leave it to to masters of creativity and craftsmanship to produce this sort of jewellery. No no one does it better than the Italians for efficiently made jewellery that stands up to regular everyday use. The earrings measure a little over 1 1/2 inches long (4cm) and weigh 1.15 grams.
They are light and easy to wear with secure fitting butterfly friction backs. Continuing high gold prices are forcing more and more manufactures to consider using 10 karat gold, as is it 25% less costly compared to 14 karat. Even on a small item like this the difference in price is significant. It is nice know this pair of beautiful drop earrings is crafted from upgraded 14 karat white gold. They sparkle and twinkle with slightest movement, the hollow sections are not only jointed but can infinitely spin and turn. Like new condition and have never been polished, the factory bright rhodium finish is completely intact. Estate priced at $240.00 CAD. Stock #426-00361.

Where do we begin describing a ring like this? It would take a post thousands of words long for us to adequately describe the attributes of this ring and the absolute value it represents. We’ll start with the facts. When it comes to our estate diamond rings and other jewellery, wholesale is the new retail at Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers. You’d think with all those inexpensive lab-grown synthetic diamonds flooding the market, natural diamonds would be seeing some pricing pressures. Such is not the case, in fact, the opposite is true; while lab-grown synthetics are falling in price every day, properly graded, natural diamonds have seen price increases over the last year. Did you know that synthetic diamonds have fallen in price to only around 10% of their natural counterparts? If you’re considering a synthetic, laboratory-grown diamond, make sure you are getting it at close to a 90% discount compared to the real thing. The diamond in this beautiful 18 karat white gold halo setting is 100% natural in every way. The only thing humans contributed to Mother Nature’s creation was the skill to transform the rough crystal into the excellent cut, finished round brilliant cut diamond.
What I love so much about this diamond is the 60/60 excellent cut (60% table and 60% depth). Almost no modern diamonds are cut like this anymore. Among accurately graded, excellent/ideal cut diamonds with reports from reliable labs, the average depth is more than 62% relative to the diameter. Two percent doesn’t sound like much, but it makes them appear noticeably smaller due to their compact diameter. Sorting through our 500,000 diamond database there are no stones of this quality anywhere near this price ($28,400.00 diamond without setting) with an average diameter of 8.45mm or larger. The other component of this 60/60 diamond is the 60% table percentage. This slightly larger table percentage contributes to the bigger look with a modest optical bias favoring brilliance over dispersion. A more brilliant diamond will display a touch more white/black flash, compared to a smaller table that shows more break up of white light into a rainbow of spectral colours known as dispersion. There is a little more to it than that, but rest assured this is a rare diamond with excellent cutting geometry compared to what is available in other excellent cut diamonds.
This type of geometry was more common in 1950s and 1960s. The full 2011 Gemological Institute of America report can be seen online here. Besides the flattering excellent cut, the rest of the diamond’s attributes are very nice without being exceptional, resulting in all around great value. Its VS2 clarity appears flawless to the naked eye, the H colour is virtually colourless without a noticeable tint, very good symmetry/polish and no fluorescence finish up this diamond’s quality characteristics.
The 18 karat white gold setting also makes this diamond appear larger than you’d expect for a stone weighing 2.20 carats. The ever popular “halo” design frames the centre with a string of tiny round brilliant cut diamonds, all expertly French set with a decorative beaded outline.
The diameter of the halo frame bumps the ring’s diameter to just shy of 12mm. The 6.1 gram premium white setting contains 130 full cut diamonds of minimum VS-H quality that bring the total diamond weight to an estimated 2.95 carats. The ring measures a slightly smaller size 5. Our onsite goldsmiths can adjust the ring up or down a full size or so. The setting alone represents outstanding value considering it is estate priced at just $1,600.00 (without the centre diamond). Decorated on three sides of both shoulders plus the vertical sides of the halo frame and even a surprise diamond under the setting. As a final touch to love and romance, the filigree gallery of the ring consists of 6 hearts that go almost unnoticed, lost in the ornate design.
The ring is in excellent condition, showing no worn areas. It comes with the original laminated GIA report from January 2011. The complete ring is estate priced at $30,000.00 CAD. Stock #101-00357.

Who doesn’t love the symmetry and simplicity of a three stone ring. The style has been around for over 100 years and is consistently been a best seller. We have a few three stone designs at Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers that haven’t changed at all in over 50 years. Even in a three stone design can be made unique though. This custom made ring contains three high quality radiant cut diamonds that weigh an estimated 1.23 carats in total. They average a very nice VS2 clarity with G/H colour and are all nicely cut. This modern interpretation combines a flattering double gallery four prong setting showcasing a 0.55 carat centre stone with low bezel set shoulder diamonds. The size 6 ring weighs 5.5 grams in a finger size 6. Comes complete with original certificate of appraisal from December 2008. Excellent condition showing no areas of wear or concern. This ring is a very attractive spin on a classic and popular design. A complimentary sizing by our onsite goldsmiths can be accomplished in just a day or two as needed. Estate priced at $3,465.00 CAD. Stock #101-00206 e9362.
Glacier Fire brand Canadian princess cut diamond of very good VS2-G quality and cut. We seldom see well cut fancy shaped diamonds since there are no widely accepted cutting standards for any shape besides the round brilliant cut. Many manufacturers simply cut to achieve a heavy stone without much consideration given to the optical efficiency of the finished diamond. What results with many princess cuts and other fancy shapes are things like thin crowns, huge tables, very thick girdles and overly deep stones. Details like this conserve lots of extra weight but contribute nothing to making a potentially beautiful diamond sparkle more. This 0.70 carat princess cut doesn’t suffer from any of those characteristics. It shows a nice tall crown, smaller than average table, medium girdle and not too deep. It’s also perfectly square only off 0.01mm! Measurements of 4.76mm x 4.77mm x 3.50mm are just about perfect dimensions for a 0.70 carat princess cut diamond.
The Canadian diamond is secured in a traditional 14 karat white gold 4 prong double gallery setting with a flat edge shank measuring 3.0mm wide. A traditional design like this is very versatile for easy wedding/anniversary ring selection. A unique registered laser engraved serial number has been applied to the girdle of the diamond as your guarantee of Canadian origin. Included with purchase is a complimentary sizing, Glacier Fire booklet/certificate along with an International Gemological Institute certificate and appraisal. Estate priced at $3,395.00. Stock #101-00207 e9191.
Lab grown diamonds have fallen in price so much that we know of ring manufacturers who are giving away 1.00 carat lab-grown diamond with every ring setting. Of course we realize the price of the diamond has obviously been built into the ring mount, but the point is clear, lab-grown diamonds are really cheap compared the their natural counterparts. If this beautiful lab-grown 4.03 carat VS1-F ideal cut was of natural origin it would cost over $150,000.00 CAD!
Lab-grown diamonds have impacted the cost of natural, but significant sized natural diamonds are still very expensive and rare. Our estate 4.03 carat lab-grown diamond is set in a traditional style four prong double gallery solitaire.
It is crafted from 4.2 grams (net weight) of 14 karat gold in a finger size 8 1/4. The well made, solid shoulder ring measures 2.3mm wide and is in hardly worn condition.
It is less than a year old and has never even been repolished since it was first purchased. Aside from some worn rhodium around the setting, it is still intact, even on the shank bottom. Accompanying to ring is an International Gemological Institute report documenting the characteristics and geometry of the diamond.
Lab-grown diamonds rarely come with Gemological Institute of America reports because of the extra cost of a GIA document would significantly increase the price. If you’re looking for a diamond ring that looks like it’s worth $175,000.00, here’s your opportunity for less than 1% of the cost. If you’re not a size 8 1/4, this ring can easily be made smaller or larger. Estate priced at $1,400.00 CAD. Stock #101-00659.

If you’re reading this post you are likely aware that silver prices have been making a parabolic move to the upside over the last few months. Since November 2025 the price for silver has practically doubled to date (January 14, 2026). Is this a trend, is this a bubble, is this a reflection of the geopolitical environment, is this the beginning of the end for the U.S. dollar and other paper backed currencies, or are precious metals (especially silver) finally waking up after doing very little for many years? There are plenty of theories out there for your consideration, just be prepared to hang on tight for the ride.

When you’ve been around as long as we have and deal extensively in antique jewellery, you tend to acquire many beautiful odds and ends. Sometimes the items that come in have been loved and used for generations. The precious stones they contain can be in perfect condition while the settings that hold them may be totally worn out. When restoration isn’t a viable option, the stones are removed and the metal work is recycled. Every component in this fabulous custom creation was rescued from a worn out piece of jewellery destined for recycling. The exceptional emerald and every single diamond are at least 150 years old, and 100% natural without any artificial enhancements. The step cut emerald measures 6.4mm x 7.0mm and weighs in at 1.10 carats. Unlike modern emeralds that are oiled to improve the apparent clarity, this antique example is 100% treatment free. It’s ultrasonic cleaner safe, the transparency will not be affected even by commercial grade cleaning solutions!
24 antique cushions and round mine cut diamond add 1.74 carats of vintage sparkle unique to this cutting style. The diamonds have all come from our inventory of antique loose stones.

Executed in bright white luxurious 18 karat white gold, the size 6 ring weighs in at a substantial 7.1 grams. Despite the beautiful filigree and fine milgrain details, we’re still able to adjust the size to suit your finger (up or down a size or two).
It’s a genuine privilege for Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers to be in a position to be able to offer and produce such an amazing example of our craft. The fact that it contains genuine period correct ingredients (except for the new white gold) is what makes it truly exceptional. Although not inexpensive this ring still represents outstanding value for the estate price of $9,800.00 CAD. Stock #206-00211 e10394.
This ring is not just digit-dominating, it’s hand-dominating! Not simply for its 11.2mm x 22.6mm footprint but the combination of lush green emerald, clean white diamonds, and bands of warm yellow gold. The ring’s crown is a natural emerald-cut emerald weighing approximately 3.20 carats, of intense emerald-green colour, showing the typical eye-visible Jardin you’d expect from the stone of springtime. The rows of high-quality VS-H baguette-cut diamonds turn to waterfalls as they tip down the steep shoulders of the ring.
The belt of flush set round brilliant cuts bring the total diamond weight to 1.28 carats. With all of these fantastic ingredients, you can probably guess that this ring was indeed custom-made.

The Tiffany brand is arguably the most influential in the jewellery industry. They have a reputation of premium quality with a price reflecting attention to every detail with uncompromising standards. They don’t rely on outside grading services like the Gemological Institute of America to confirm the quality of their diamonds. When it comes to diamond quality, Tiffany’s minimum quality standards are very good on paper and exceptional in person. When the GIA introduced a standardized diamond grading system, Tiffany was celebrating their 116th anniversary and doing quite well without GIA confirming what they already knew. Although Tiffany now uses GIA’s internationally accepted system for describing diamonds quality, their conservative reputation for excellence doesn’t require a fact check through outside independent report suppliers. Tiffany marches to the beat of their own drum, choosing to set the trends, rather than follow them. In fact, Tiffany’s laser inscription would actually be considered a blemish by the GIA as they engrave the unique registered number on a star facet instead of concealing a number on the girdle like everyone else.
Not to say that it is distracting, it is almost impossible to find with 10X magnification, and you can only read the serial number under 60X. Tiffany’s grading is certainly to the high standards or better of those established by the GIA, and their documents are just as thorough. The elegant Tiffany & Co. Diamond Certificate that accompanies this ring states 1.11 carat weight, VS2 clarity, H colour, faint fluorescence, excellent cut, excellent symmetry, excellent polish all illustrated along with the stone geometry.

You don’t need to spend a lot of money with expensive diamonds to get some sparkle and bling in your life. This pear shaped pendant/earring set have been bright cut with sharp reflective facet patterns throughout the design.

This wedding set contains a hidden detail for the wearer’s eye only, two tiny natural blue sapphires tucked into the base of the main setting, one on each side.
Sapphires were traditionally the gemstone for engagement as they symbolize faithfulness and constancy. Diamond on the other hand was considered an evening stone, wearing one during the day was considered garish. It wasn’t until the 1920s and 1930s that diamonds became the standard center for an engagement ring.
The diamond at the center of this engagement ring is a 0.70 carat I1-IJ quality round brilliant cut, showing almost eye-clean thanks to a collection of tiny inclusions instead of one large grade-setting inclusion.
The additional 119 diamonds add their estimated 2.00 carats total weight to the top and sides of both the engagement ring and wedding band, all of SI-I quality.
The rings are well-built from 8.8 grams of 14 karat white gold and currently measure a finger size 6 with some room to adjust. The set is accompanied by a September 2013 EGL USA certificate stating a fantastical replacement value of $11,050.00 CAD.

Shopping around and learning about value is more important today than it’s even been before. From groceries to jewellery. Understanding the difference between price and value has never been so crucial. You shouldn’t just buy the cheapest product on the shelf because of the price. You should purchase items that represents the best value. Basic jewellery items like this are very easy to determine what kind of value they offer. Our price of $2,000.00 may sound expensive until you learn the value it represents. This bracelet has been crafted from a generous 13 plus grams of upgraded 14 karat yellow gold. By weight alone this bracelet contains $1,572.00 in recyclable gold content plus around $20.00 in fine silver alloy, and a touch of rhodium to highlight the diamonds (as of Jan. 12, 2026). The nice quality (SI-HI) round brilliant cut natural diamonds have a wholesale cost of around $150.00.
So just in material cost alone this bracelet is worth around $1,742.00. Now you have to turn those raw commodities into the beautifully manufactured diamond bracelet you see here. Expect the manufacturing costs to add 50% to the cost of the parts, now add in some duty (if imported) and a reasonable retail markup so everyone can stay in business, pay taxes, rents, employee wages, credit card fees, packaging, commissions on sales for the mall landlord, and numerous other costs to run a business etc. It’s a wonder anyone can stay in business. Now that you understand the costs of making and selling something like this, it is easy to understand the amazing value $2,000.00 is. With the cost of precious metals continuing to rise, getting value should always be top of mind. We are always willing to demonstrate the value of everything and anything we sell, other stores should be willing to do the same in our opinion. We also reserve the right not to sell any item (although we seldom do), that is advertised for less than its scrap value. This bracelet is of sturdy construction and measures 3.3mm wide and is secured with an interference two phase clasp with an additional side safety.
It is in like new condition showing little to no wear and the hinge is quite tight. The inside circumference measures just a touch under 6 3/4 inches. Our estate price is $2,000.00 CAD. Stock #171-00116.

We’re always happy to showcase a Tacori piece, and have had the opportunity to do so several times, but this is the first time we’ve had one that was completely unworn; in fact, it came in with its out-of-the-showcase cubic zirconia center stone. We of course have hundreds of diamonds patiently awaiting their “forever home” so we popped out that CZ and replaced it with a diamond from an out-of-date mounting.
The 0.97 carat round brilliant cut is a lovely VS2-H quality and is accompanied by a Gemtech certificate detailing the ring that originally housed it.
Now it crowns a Tacori Ribbon model 2573 SM RD in all its glory. The ring is detailed with 34 tiny round brilliant cut diamonds of high VS-GH quality, equalling 0.12 carat together.
The 18 karat white gold ring retains its untouched chromy white rhodium plating and currently measures a finger size 6 1/2 with some room to adjust.

You’ve probably seen the paperclip/elongated link necklace everywhere this past year, if you can’t picture it just imagine this link but elongated and thinned out a little. We really don’t know where it came from but the trend has spread like wildfire. If you want to hop on the bandwagon but want to be subtle about it this heavy cable link bracelet is a nice nod. Even better, if you’re simply looking for a high-quality bracelet this is the one. It measures 7.5 inches long but manages to weigh in at a hefty 13.6 grams. The 4.9mm wide links have been beveled to add an extra bit of shine and the bracelet has been equipped with an oversized 10 karat spring-ring catch for easy fastening. The 14 karat yellow gold bracelet is in like-new condition for the estate price of $2,520.00 CAD. Stock #441-00154.
Without question, this is one of our favorite rings. The setting is Canadian made from 3.6 grams of 14 karat white gold. It’s a brand new creation inspired by those wonderful Art Deco designs of the 1920s and 30s. Geometric details with fine filigree and milgrain are distinctive features of the Art Deco style. This new construction setting has been here for a while just waiting to showcase the ideal centre diamond to turn up in our estate department.
Last month a beautiful 0.90 carat round brilliant diamond came in that fit the setting perfectly. It was already in a ring that had seen at least 50 years worth of wear and tear. As such the original shank was a little thinner than we were comfortable with and the gallery sides were worn from rubbing against another ring for many years.
There’s nothing we like better then taking old components and reinventing them into something brand new for our customers. Reusing larger diamonds like this saves our savvy customers a lot of money compared to purchasing new. You can also feel good knowing the gold from the original setting will be recycled, adding to the world’s supply without disturbing any new ground.
The freshly set diamond fits totally flush in the octagon shaped inner setting. 8 small protected claws secure the very good cut centre diamond means this ring should be maintenance free for decades to come.
The main 0.90 carat diamond measures 6.2mm x 3.7mm and is of solid SI1 clarity. The grade setting clarity characteristic is a small white feather located just the the right of the 12:00 o’clock position close to the edge.
As observed with our Gemological Institute of America master diamonds its colour was determined to be a very nice G. Two additional round brilliant cut diamonds of very good SI-H quality provide 0.27 carats of extra bling on the shoulders. If you love this setting as much as we do and already have a diamond, it’s available to hold your diamond for $1,600.00. We welcome your trades should if you’d like to upgrade to this or something else. This new/estate combination ring is priced complete at $5,600.00 CAD. Stock #101-00039 e12256.
A ladies ring pushing 10 grams is rather unusual, especially considering the current price of gold. This ruby and diamond dinner ring has not only been constructed with a generous amount of gold, it contains a very well matched pair of dark read rubies and 91 good quality hand set round brilliant cut diamonds averaging SI clarity and H colour. The 2 oval faceted ruby measure 7.1mm x 5.2mm and weigh approximately 1.65 carats in total.
They are each secured in four prong yellow gold settings. The yellow gold provides an extra detail and makes the construction a little more complicated. The heavy ring measures a finger size 7 and can be adjusted up or down a size or two. The underside of the shoulders and settings have been decorated with filigree details making for a more comfortable fit and easy cleaning of the diamonds and rubies.
If we had to guess we feel this ring was hand made, the shank has been engraved 750 (75% purity/18 karat) but has no visible makers mark. It is in excellent condition showing only some minor rhodium plating wear on the bottom of the shank.
The ring comes with August 2024 appraisal report from Harold Weinstein Ltd. Toronto.

Technically, diamonds are the only gem composed of just a single element, carbon. In theory this is true but the vast majority of natural diamonds form with trace amounts of other elements. Nitrogen contamination occurs naturally in at least 95% of all earth grown diamonds. Nitrogen contaminated diamonds can be near colourless to light yellow in hue. The purest diamonds are known by Gemologists as type IIa. These diamond contain no measurable amounts of nitrogen, they are usually colourless but they can also be gray, light brown, light yellow or light pink. Rare Type IIa diamonds make the best candidates for colour enhancement by the application of extremely high temperature and pressures similar to what a natural diamond could have experienced when forming in the earth’s mantle billions of years ago.
Only diamonds of high clarity are treaded to high pressure high temperature (HPHT) treatment, as lower clarity diamonds can be damaged during the process. Our latest estate diamond is one of these rare type IIa diamonds. It comes with a GIA report that identifies the diamond as being treated by a process to change its colour.
Because the treatment is similar to what a diamond could have experienced billions of years ago, it is 100% permanent. There is no need to treat it with special care and caution. Without the GIA report we’d be unable to confidently identify that this diamond has had its colour altered. Since HPHT diamonds sell for less, this is another reason to insist on a Gemological Institute of America report for any significant diamond you are considering purchasing. The GIA report described the clarity as VS1, G colour, excellent cut, excellent polish, excellent cut, with no fluorescence. Syntenic diamond screeners and testers CAN NOT detect high pressure high temperature treated diamonds. We run all our estate diamonds through equipment to determine natural or laboratory origin. We were somewhat surprised to identify 2 of the 25 small accent diamonds in the settings were of synthetic lab-grown origin. The original owner didn’t know there were lab-grown diamonds mixed among the naturals. They are flagged by the bright their bright red appearance on the display of the screening computer.
Few jewellers have lab-grown screening equipment onsite. Without the sophisticated machine it is quite possible a jeweller could unknowingly sell a lab-grown diamond as a natural. Simple diamond testers DO NOT separate lab-grown from natural, so buyer beware. The setting that holds this interesting combination of high quality, natural, natural colour enhanced, and lab-grown diamonds was made from premium 18 karat gold. The tiny size 4 1/2, ring can be adjusted larger by one of our onsite goldsmiths.
This sturdy, 4.5 gram, well made diamond ring (1.52ct. tw.) is in excellent condition and is estate priced at $5,400.00 CAD. Stock #101-00503.

Good things come in small dimensions. This is one of the more delicate pendants we have in stock. Simple and petite designs like this go a long way when making a less is more statement. The small bezel setting contains a natural round brilliant diamond that is estimated to weight 0.16 carats and is of a conservative SI2-I quality. The light 1.0mm rolo link chain can be worn at 16 or 18 inches for some extra versatility.
Soldered into the necklace with connections at 10:00 and 2:00 o’clock means the pendant has been designed not to flip upside down and has a low profile of just 2.2mm.
Both pendant and necklace have been made from upgraded 14 karat yellow gold with a total weight of 1.4 grams. It is in like new condition showing no wear of any kind. Tiffany do something almost the same in 18 karat with a diamond 70% smaller. This would make a great gift for an anniversary or perhaps a young girls first diamond jewellery piece.

When was the last time you saw a trillion cut natural diamond used as the central focal point in a ring? We’re thinking never. When we occasionally run into this uncommon shape they are usually used as small accent stones, not the centrepiece. It makes sense this example is set in a custom setting as there are not many off the shelf ring designs that will accommodate triangular diamonds. The centre trillion brilliant cut diamond measures 6.7mm in maximum height and 3.6mm in depth. It is difficult to be 100% accurate in weight estimation, but by mathematical formula we’ve estimated it weighs 0.80 carats. It is a nice “I” colour and a strong I1 clarity with a completely clean centre.
We’re not sure if this ring was originally designed as an engagement ring or a dinner ring. The style could serve purpose for almost any intention for use.
The shoulders and all sides are fully pavé set with 96 round brilliant cut diamonds calculated to weigh approximately 1.05 carats total weight. The accent diamonds are of SI-I-I quality (one chipped). Fine milgrain details outline the shoulder edges, sides, and gallery mimicking the look of even more diamonds set on the surface.
This is a well made custom ring weighing 6.9 grams in a finger size 5 3/4. One of our onsite goldsmiths can adjust the fit up or down one size if required. This unusual trillion cut natural diamond creation is estate priced at $3,100.00 CAD. Stock #131-00229.
Would you consider this ring new or estate? The diamond is pre-owned but the ring is brand new never worn. New or estate is a matter of perspective especially when you consider that most diamonds formed 4 billion years ago. So it really makes little difference if they have been worn before or not. The estate diamond is this ring by T&T design Toronto is one of the best diamonds in the store. Its VVS2 clarity and D colour combination are just about as good as it gets. An excellent cut really shows off the outstanding clarity and colour to its full potential. The halo design makes the 5.12mm diameter centre diamond look bigger than the 1/2 carat size suggests. 16 tiny full cut diamonds that comprise the cushion shape outline have been expertly bead set by Canadian craftsmen exclusively using Canadian gold. The 3.6 gram ring measures a size 6.5 and can be adjusted up or down as required. Rings of this design or any other make great candidates for an estate diamond of a bigger and better size than you might otherwise be able to afford. At Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers we have thousands of possibilities of estate diamonds with new settings. As shown this ring is priced at $3,490.00. Stock #100-00108 d16050.
Jewellery is one of the few mediums where you can reinvent the same piece over and over again without any real loss of material. Gold can be recast endlessly (occasionally needing a top-up of fresh casting grain), diamonds and gemstones can be unset and reset as often as you like. Even if they become scratched or chipped they can be recut and repolished. With only one document of this ring’s history, we can see that it’s undergone at least two transformations over the past 19 years. The Damiani Jewellers appraisal that comes with this ring pictures a traditional three-pear-shaped engagement ring and states the ring is custom-made.
But we have before us those same three pear-shaped diamonds in a swirling 11.9mm wide dinner ring. From its hefty 14.6 gram weight and solid construction, there’s no doubt that this ring was also custom-made. In fact, it was made by premium Canadian jewellery manufacturer Platinum Unlimited.
The clustered arrangement of the three bezel-set pear-shaped diamonds suggests their being caught in a gentle whirlwind or the mini whirlpool of a meandering creek. The wisping tails of graduated diamonds that swirl outward from that trio tell the same story as they draw you toward the ring’s center.
The largest of the diamonds in the ring is a 1.01 carat pear of I1-H quality, the other two pears equal 0.62 carats total weight of SI-IJ quality. The additional diamonds equal 0.20 carats total weight of SI- GH quality, pushing the total carat weight of the ring up to 1.83 carats. The estate price for this heavyweight 14.6 gram, like new, one-of-a-kind custom ring is $5,600.00 CAD. Stock #131-00165.
Very high quality 3 stone diamond ring made by local goldsmith designer Michael Smiley. Made to the typical excellent standard Michael is known for, beautiful finish, well assembled with a generous 8 plus grams of 18 karat white gold. It’s a three stone, but it’s a three stone with that little designer flair. A gentle and smoothly profiled three section ridged shank measures 5.8mm wide. The centre ridge rises up from the shoulders meeting the outside diamonds in the middle gallery. All three diamonds are nicely matched of minimum VS clarity, HI colour and good to very good cut. You just don’t see this kind of quality at your typical jewellery store. Seldom are mass produced rings made from 18 karat gold and almost never weigh more than 5 grams or so. If the three stone design has always appealed to you come have a look at this example. It’s a classic design with the designer touch. Estate price $4,340.00 CAD. Stock #101-00111 e8834.
This is an incredible example of a late Art Nouveau diamond ring dating from around 1910. It may be well over 100 years old but it looks almost like the day the finishing touch of engraving was applied to the intricate pierced filigree design.
Its longevity is partly due to the resilient platinum it was constructed from and it likely wasn’t worn every day. This style ring marks the transition period from the Art Nouveau design era to Art Deco. Art Nouveau often used styles found in natural forms and sinuous curves inspired by vines, plants, and flowers. These designs bring an impression of dynamic movement. Other characteristics of Art Nouveau are a sense of dynamism and movement, often illustrated by asymmetry and whiplash line forms.
Once the basic ring has been created a master engraver decorates the soft platinum with leafy patterns, bright cutting, and milgrain edging. The bezel setting still shows evidence of the delicate milgrain outline.
Secured within the smooth low bezel is a spectacular European cut diamond of very high clarity and colour. The setting makes it difficult to accurately measure the diameter but we estimate this diamond to have an average diameter of 8.1mm. The total depth of the diamond is easily measured at 4.8mm. Once a mathematical formula is applied to these dimensions we determined the weight of this diamond conservatively at 1.96 carats. There is a very good chance it weighs 2.00 carats or a touch more. Scattered throughout the 11.8mm wide dome filigree setting are an additional 12 old single cut diamonds of SI-G quality, contributing 0.25 carat of added sparkle.
The ring measures a finger size 5 1/2 and can be adjusted a size or two up or down. Original examples of Art Nouveau rings in excellent condition are rather rare as many have been remodeled to newer designs over the years. We are thrilled the temptation to take this ring apart was never acted upon. For a significant diamond with this sort of value we’d normally have set it to The Gemological Institute of America to obtain a formal grading report. This would require grinding away the bezel to remove the stone and we really didn’t want to harm the setting. Our senior Graduate Gemologist (trained in residence) with over 33 years experience is confident this diamond is of strong VS1 clarity with a G colour. The diamond also displays superior cut, symmetry, and polish, not normally seen on antique diamonds of this age. As an added bonus the large centre diamond displays no fluorescence, although some of the small accent diamonds glow brightly when exposed to long wave ultraviolet light.
Larger diamonds in the 2.00 carat size range are seen more often today, but 100 years ago a diamond of this size would have almost never been encountered in a store like ours. This special ring is ready to be enjoyed for many more generations for the estate price of $31,450.00 CAD. Stock #101-00533.

We understand the temptation of lab-grown diamonds. The attraction of the low price is undeniable. We can sell you an exceptional 5.00 carat lab-grown diamond of exceptional VS-F (or better quality) for well under $2,500.00!!!! So if you want to buy a diamond with as little skin in the game as possible, lab-grown is the way to go. If you want something natural, special, and unique, the miracle of a natural diamond should be your choice to mark a special occasion.
Our latest estate item is this never worn estate ring with all natural diamonds. It centre diamond is very well cut and was graded the The Gemological Institute of America. They are the foremost authority when it comes to respected opinions in all things diamonds and gem related. Their laminated report for this diamond dates from October 2020, the full report can be seen online here.
It is a very pretty stone and looks better than the SI2 suggests. A few translucent twinning wisps are about the only inclusions inside the 3-4 billion year old natural diamond.
The strong G colour means there is no visible yellow tint/hue to this diamond. The polish/symmetry are both excellent and the diamond exhibits no fluorescence. The delicate size 6 ring contains 20 tiny bead set accent diamonds running down the shoulders adding 0.22 carats of additional natural diamond sparkle. The ring is in perfect condition as it has no evidence of any use. It has never been refinished or polished since it was new. To duplicate a ring like this you’d could expect to pay at least $5,500.00.
As a never worn estate ring it has been priced below its wholesale replacement cost. If you need the ring adjusted up or down, one of our onsite goldsmiths can do this in just a few days. Including the original GIA diamond report, the ring is estate priced at $3,850.00 CAD. Stock #101-00667.
We’re up to our old tricks again, turning something old into something new. This excellent quality dark violet/blue Tanzanite came to us in a less than inspiring gents ring. The two shoulder diamonds were matched from our extensive inventory of loose estate stones. Over the past 60 years we’ve created countless custom designs, but the traditional trinity style is one of our favorites and most popular. Abstract and unusual are interesting for a while but a classic look stands the test of time. Our clients and customers must be of similar opinion because combinations like this always sell through. When made up from excellent quality estate components the outstanding value is obvious.
For this ring we’ve used over 3 grams of premium 18 karat white gold. The shoulder diamonds weigh a combined 0.96 carats and are of very good SI1 clarity, I colour with very good cut. A 6mm 1.01 carat round faceted natural Tanzanite is the centerpiece. This rare and exotic gem is only found in Tanzania Africa and the single source isn’t going to last forever. The finest Tanzanite colour approaches that of the best Burmese sapphire but at only one tenth the cost. We’ve made the ring in average size 6 1/2. One of our onsite goldsmiths can adjust the size up or down in as little as one day. Estate priced at $3,920.00. Stock #206-00256 e9282.

Each is 7mm wide by 1.75mm thick featuring a comfort fit interior for smooth wear despite the flat edged profile. Both feature a single 0.12 carat baguette cut diamond of high VS-G quality, buried just below the surface of the rings. The combination of calm step cut diamonds within high polished platinum creates a subtle impression that makes you look twice.
The platinum nature of the bands means that both will last for generations. One is currently a size 10 and weighs in at 14.8 grams, the other is size 11 1/2 and weighs 15.9 grams. The estate price for the size 10 band is $2,700.00 CAD. Stock number 116-00001.

We have a little introductory course we run through with people who are buying their first significant diamond. We try to keep it as simple as possible as there are so many interchangeable factors that effect diamond value. What we mostly aim for is an understanding of the normal minimum thresholds of diamond quality. For example G colour is usually where you lose any warmth detectable to the untrained eye. SI1 clarity is the point where you are almost guaranteed to not see any eye-visible inclusions. We use these benchmarks to help customers understand what they are looking at to give them a reference point of quality. These rules are flexible and all that really matters is what a diamond looks like in person. Some people can’t see warmth in a colour even as low as J. Others can’t find inclusions in diamonds graded I1. Sometimes we get a diamond that stumps even our well trained eyes, like this GIA certified I1-D. At first look without magnification the 1.25 carat round brilliant looked eye-clean. We couldn’t find the inclusions until we looked with magnification then looked again without.
Even then you can only see the feathers at a specific angle and only by looking closely for them. This is mostly due to their fantastic positioning within the facet pattern but also because of the added brilliance caused by the triple “Very Good” grade (very good cut, very good symmetry and very good polish). The stunning diamond is a fitting crown to the three piece wedding set that accompanies it.
The 14 karat white gold set is all geometric trellis work and milgrain accented diamonds. Combined, the round brilliant cuts and graduated princess cuts weight an estimated 2.05 carats for the set. The trio all measure a finger size 6 1/4 with some room to adjust. The main diamond is laser inscribed and comes with its original GIA Diamond Grading Report (May 2019) which you can see here.
As a finishing touch the diamond exhibits no trace of fluorescence when exposed to long wave ultraviolet light. Estate price for the set only $11,200.00 CAD. Stock #101-00286 e12282.
When you can’t find what you’re looking for, sometimes having it custom made is your only option, but bespoke comes at a premium. With the price of gold, the cost of high quality natural gems, plus the extra labor for designing and making a one off, custom made is much more expensive than production jewellery. Coloured gems are becoming a popular option when it comes to engagement rings.
Lab-grown diamonds are also very popular now but at only a few hundred dollars per carat for really nice ones, they do come off as a cheap and easy way out. This set was custom made for the original owner who loved blue sapphires but still wanted a traditional engagement/wedding ring look. 13 high quality bright cobalt blue sapphire were sourced as the starting point.
The 13 channel set matching princess cut sapphires are far nicer than those inky dark blue commercial grade sapphires you see at most jewellery stores. Theses measure 3mm x 3mm and are estimated to weigh 0.16 carat each. Set at the bottom of each shoulder is a princess cut diamond (4 in total) with an estimated weight of 0.15 carat each and are all of VS-FG quality.
The centre natural diamond measures 6.35mm diameter and is estimated to weigh exactly 1.00 carat of I1 clarity. It exhibits small dispersed crystal inclusions throughout the body that go unnoticed except under tight scrutiny or under magnification.
In our conservative opinion we feel the colour is an excellent EF, the supplied appraisal suggests it is a perfect D colour. We are in consensus that the cut is excellent. The diamond displays an excellent “Hearts & Arrows” pattern when viewed through polarized light. Both rings are well constructed of 14 karat white gold and weigh a combined 12.1 grams in a finger size 8. They can be adjusted up or down only around 1 size. The sapphires show some surface scratches, abrasions, and a few small chips associated with 10 years of wear. The channel settings show a little wear along with the 4 prong centre setting, but the ring is ready to wear for the next decade without any concern. Duplicating a ring like this would be a costly thing. Finding 13 matching high quality sapphires would be difficult and quite expensive. The ring comes with a July 2014 appraisal certificate suggesting a replacement value of $21,800.00.
We think we could duplicate this set for around half of the appraised value, but there is no way we could replicate the set for our estate price of only $6,000.00. If you like these high quality blue sapphires, the striking contrast against the white gold and diamonds, maybe this ring pair is for you. They are sold as a set only for the estate price of $6,000.00 CAD. Stock #101-00606.

This Spence Diamonds engagement ring comes with a mountain of paperwork neatly packaged in a sleek little folio. And it’s well worth all of that documentation being well-constructed from 6.2 grams of top-quality 19 karat white gold. The ring features three round brilliant cut diamonds set in high bar settings that offer a full view of the diamonds, top, and sides.
The main diamond weighs 0.90 carat of a pleasant SI2-G quality with a very good cut, flanked by a pair of equally lovely SI-I diamonds.
You’d need a bit of magnification to see what really makes this ring unique, but almost dead-center in the table of the main diamond is a one-dimensional black arrowhead inclusion, unlike anything we’ve ever encountered. The arrowhead is an open black frame instead of solid black, making it invisible without at least 10 times magnification, much higher magnification was used taking this photomicrograph. 

The accompanying Spence Diamond certificate accurately describes that diamond. It’s also accompanied by the original warranty, appraisal stating a replacement value of $7,614.00 CAD (August 2007), and receipt stating a sale price of the same value. Our estate price for this like new modern style 3 stone diamond ring is $4,550.00, CAD. Stock #101-00412.


Silver recently touched a new all-time high of $114.00 CAD per ounce today (January 6, 2026) and has since backed off to $106.00. Many feel there is much more upside to the price of silver and other precious metals, especially given the the current geopolitical climate in the world. Obtaining physical silver is very difficult right now because many refiners are no longer accepting scrap silver for refining because they are overwhelmed with current recycling commitments. We think this situation will sort itself out over time when market conditions become more normalized. Premiums for buying the physical metal are once again seeing significant increases. If you have some, holding on to it may be a good idea. We do not consider ourselves precious metal dealers but we do come across some interesting bullion from time to time. This 10-ounce Johnson Matthey 999 fine silver bar is very desirable to those who want to own and hold the actual metal. It is still factory sealed in the original plastic. If you’re interested in buying this one don’t wait, we expect this one will sell quickly. They are priced at just 10% over spot pricing. Collectable Johnson Matthey bars typically trade hands for larger premiums than generic bars and Royal Canadian Mint bars. Stock #912-00565.

Fancy shapes are back and frankly we can’t understand how they fell out of favor, especially the marquise. The diamond is one of the best for getting maximum footprint for minimum budget. It’s the diamond version of that tall thin glass vs. the short and wide glass. Even if both glasses hold the same volume of liquid, and even if you know that, the tall thin glass always looks like it has more. Marquise being the tallest (longest) and thinnest of fancy gem shapes always gives the impression of being larger than its carat weight. This 0.83 carat marquise measures an impressive 9.15 x 4.59mm of an eye-clean SI1-FG quality.
It’s been proudly perched on a heavy 18 karat yellow gold solitaire with shoulders that rise up to meet the diamond. The solid ring weighs 5.9 grams and is accompanied by a Gem Scan certificate stating an rosy Replacement Value of $11,200.00. We feel a realistic value is more like $4,900.00, and our estate price $3,430.00 CAD. Stock #101-00258 e13689.
It’s a difficult thing to access the value a prestigious brand name brings to a product. Especially a diamond ring or other piece of jewellery. Even when comparing two otherwise completely identical items, the premium brand product sells for more and deserves the extra value associated with the brand. A sterling silver chain from Tiffany for example sells for much more than a high quality silver chain purchased at your local home town jeweller even if the only difference is where it was bought and the box colour. The components that go into producing the item may be the same but where you buy them is a major contributor to the price you ultimately are going to be charged. This beautiful 18 karat white gold estate engagement ring was originally purchased at Royal de Versailles. They are considered one of the finest jewellers and carry all the exclusive luxury names. They operate a big beautiful store in a very exclusive and expensive area of downtown Toronto. When purchased new in 1993 RDV supplied an insurance document outlining the details of the engagement ring, suggesting insurance coverage of $20,500.00 CAD including tax.
25 years later as an excellent condition estate ring we have it priced at only $12,000.00 CAD (including a custom made matching wedding ring).
The centre diamond is a very pretty 1.26 carat VS1 clarity, “I” colour diamond that has been graded by The Gemological Institute of America. GIA certificate #8404049 reports the diamond has been manufactured with very good polish, good symmetry and strong blue fluorescence. This diamond is proportioned with a very flattering, slender 1.78:1 length to width ratio. Our quarter million strong diamond database shows less than 4% of all pear shaped diamonds have a ratio like this or thinner. Almost all diamond cutters choose to make their pears closer to 1:1.40 ratio. While this ratio is efficient for weight retention the resulting plump outline doesn’t look nearly as sophisticated. Securely set on each shoulder is an additional pear shaped diamond, each estimated to weight 0.20 carats of VS-SI clarity and H colour.
The rings fit together with puzzle piece precision and measure the average finger size of 6. One of our onsite goldsmiths can custom fit these up or down as required in just a day or 2. Included with the rings is the original black RDV box plus an independent Harold Weinstein appraisal from October 1998. Our estate price for the set is $12,000.00 CAD. Stock #101-00573 e11081.

Tacori is a brand that needs no introduction and one we’ve had the pleasure of showcasing several times. This complete wedding set is a personal favorite as it features an emerald cut center accompanied by GIA pedigree.
That document can be viewed here and describes the 1.01 carat emerald cut as VS2-G quality with very good polish, good symmetry, and no fluorescence. If you’ve ever shopped for an emerald cut diamond you’ll know they tend to show their inclusions more readily than other cuts. That is due to the calmer nature of their facet pattern; where brilliant cut diamonds can hide or disguise inclusions in a kaleidoscope of busy sparkle, step-cut diamonds (emerald, Asscher, baguette) act like a hall of mirrors reflecting and illuminating anything within their depths.
For this reason, diamond cutters have to be very mindful of where they’ll position an inclusion, a slight shift can cause the inclusion to be reflected and multiplied throughout the gem, reducing the clarity grade the diamond will receive. The tiny grade-setting feather in this diamond has been positioned perfectly!
It is still visible without magnification to the sharp-eyed, but it has remained one single small inclusion in an otherwise dazzling diamond. For anyone who has really done their research, this emerald cut also features a 59% table and a 60.1% depth. As only round diamonds receive a GIA Cut Grade, savvy consumers should arm themselves with an understanding of the ideal proportions for the diamond shape they are shopping for. Otherwise, you could unintentionally purchase a diamond with high clarity and colour but low light return and sparkle, and then you may as well not be buying a diamond at all since their intense sparkle is what they’re prized for! For emerald cuts, the ideal table percentage range is between 61-69% and the ideal depth is 61-67%; this diamond falls just short of excellent, landing in the very good range. The Tacori engagement ring model 2627EC that bears this exceptional diamond is made from top-quality 18 karat white gold and features VS-G quality accent round brilliant cut diamonds, of high cut grade despite their tiny size. The price of the “Dantela” engagement ring without the centre diamond or matching wedding ring has a price of $7,090.00 USD according to the Tacori website.
The contour wedding band partners with the engagement ring perfectly; with the addition of its diamonds, the total count for the set jumps to 109 equaling 0.61 carats total weight. The set currently measures a finger size 7 with some room to adjust.
It’s accompanied by its original box, a copy of the GIA certificate, and a CJEX appraisal from 2021 stating a replacement value of $23,700.00 CAD. We feel a competitive replacement value with new would be $18,650.00 and our estate price $13,988.00 CAD. Stock #101-00396.

Bright cutting and heavy textures were a key design feature for jewellery in the early 1980s and this retro cross pendant is a perfect illustration of that 80s style. This cross is three dimensional and completely reversable, identical on both sides. As a biproduct of the construction, the inner nugget textured surfaces display a rosy hue from years of natural oxidation. The blush hue contrasts very well with the outer bright-cut highly polished surfaces on both sides.
An extended cleaning in our high temperature ultrasonic machine will completely remove the oxidation, we feel it enhances and reenforces the vintage/retro look, but we’ll let you decide if you want it removed. The pendant is a decent size measuring 26.1mm x 17.2mm (not including bail).
It is in perfect condition showing no wear in the oval bail. Crafted from 1.75 grams of 10 karat yellow gold and estate priced at $225.00 CAD. Stock #436-00351.

There is a good chance you’ve never heard of the precious gem tsavorite but this lesser known garnet variety came very close to being included in the Tiffany & Co. marketing machine. The gemstone was originally discovered in Tanzania in 1967 but for almost a decade it was only of interest to mineralogists and rare gem collectors. In 1974 the VP for Tiffany began talks with mine owners to market the stone which he renamed from its original tsavolite. They never could come to an agreement so unlike other familiar stones that Tiffany took to market, such as morganite and tanzanite, tsavorite had to make its own way to consumers. It’s too bad it didn’t work out as part of Tiffany’s plan, as it’s taken the vibrant green gem a long time to attract the attention of jewellers and the general public.
The stone derives its name from the Tsavo National Park in Kenya Africa where some of the first specimens where found. The bezel set mixed cut example we are showcasing today measures approximately 7mm in length and is estimated to weigh approximately 2.00 carats. Fine tsavorite can approach a colour you’d normally associate only with extra fine quality emerald. This example is about as good as it gets and is the best we’ve ever encountered. It exhibits a deep saturated pure green hue with exceptional clarity.
It was expertly bezel set in this pierced Art Deco inspired dinner ring of contemporary construction. Made from premium quality 18 karat white gold. It measures a size 9 ring and contains 108 round brilliant cut diamonds bead set on the top and both vertical sides; additional hand engraved leaf/vine decorate the shoulders. The ring appears to be in unworn condition showing no wear of any kind. The bright white polished rhodium finish remains scratch free still covering the entire ring. It would be a difficult task to find another tsavorite garnet as nice as this one. This ring is estate priced at $4,760.00 CAD. Stock #206-00424.
Champagne dials are quite common on many dressy watches but I must say the combination on a sporty diver chronograph is a little more rare. The Breitling Chrono Cockpit is a more than capable watch that could be worn by almost anyone. At 39mm it is not so big that it couldn’t be worn by a woman looking for something a little more than just an over sized Michael Kors watch. The completely high polish finish in bright 18 karat yellow gold and shiny stainless steel is definitely hard not to notice. Furnished inside the 200 meter water resistant case is the very competent Valjoux 7750. This steadfast movement has been a benchmark for automatic chronographs since the 1970s. Breitling watchmakers have modified the base calibre to higher standards qualifying it to certified chronometer grade accuracy levels. A one way rotating timer bezel is very handy when split second timing isn’t required. A very small tachymeter scale on the chapter ring allows an extra unit per hour calculator function but only if you have extra sharp vision. Double locking buckle on an 18 karat/stainless steel 8″ pilot bracelet completes the very attractive look. The watch is running great keeping excellent time with all functions working as designed. Including a 1 year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty the watch is estate priced at $4,900.00 CAD. Stock #515-00011 e9610
We are always excited to showcase a diamond with a GIA pedigree, mostly because it makes our job easier! The 1.59-carat princess cut is ever-so-slightly rectangular measuring 6.47 x 6.36mm wide with an excellent depth percentage of 72.4% and a nice table percentage of 75%. The polish is also excellent, with very good symmetry, no fluorescence, and an eye-clean SI1 clarity, with an almost perfect E colour grade. All this to say that it’s a diamond we can be proud to call a very good cut and an excellent value! The full GIA certificate can be viewed here. The diamond not only features a laser-inscribed GIA serial number but also a tiny maple leaf symbol and the words Canada Pride, as proof of its Canadian origins.
The ring itself features an additional 10 round brilliant cut diamonds of SI-GH quality equalling 0.23 carats together.
The custom-made 14-karat white gold ring currently measures a finger size 5 1/2 with some room to adjust.

In many of our past posts, we’ve given out the pearl buying advice of judging a pearl’s quality by the mirror-like reflections on its surface; the sharper the reflections the higher the nacre quality/thickness. With South Sea pearls that isn’t quite the case and it’s due to the relatively extreme thickness of their nacre. Akoya pearls have an average nacre thickness ranging from 0.35mm to 0.70mm, South Sea pearls have an average of 2.00mm to 6.00mm. That thickness softens the surface luster of the pearls creating an appearance similar to the sheen of satin. You still want to be able to see yourself on the pearl’s surface but don’t expect to make out any features of your face.
This 15mm South Sea pearl is a fantastic example of what high quality looks like. The smokey grey-green body colour displays orient of soft purples and blues and is almost blemish-free showing only the slightest imperfections on its surface. The phenomenal 15mm pearl is shouldered by trios of pear and marquise brilliant cut diamonds of VS-J quality. They equal approximately 1.20 carats together and stand out against the broad high polished 18 karat white gold shoulders of the ring. The size 5 ring is accompanied by a 2009 Gem Review appraisal stating a replacement value of $8,010.00 CAD. We believe a more competitive replacement value would be $6,475.00 and our estate price is $4,533.00 CAD. Stock #131-00139.
18 karat yellow gold and platinum, for when only the best will do! The 6.0mm wide by 2.0mm thick band is about as well-made as they come and is in like-new unworn condition. The warm high polished yellow features both curved exterior edges and a comfort fit interior.
The brushed finish platinum adds heft to the ring, making the 12.6 grams ring feel much heavier than it looks. The band currently measures a stock finger size of 10 with room to adjust. The estate price for this brand-new band is $2,100.00 CAD. Stock #401-00199.
At 9.84mm wide this ring is certainly teetering into super halo territory! The ring’s crown is a 1.03 carat round brilliant cut of lovely VS2-H quality with an average to good cut grade, with a large footprint of 6.7mm diameter.
We removed the diamond to fully assess its quality and confirm the weight rather than estimate its quality while it was in the setting.
The square halo features decorative filigree accents and 20 hand set petite round brilliant cut diamonds. The 6.95mm wide shoulders are covered by an additional 42 round and princess cut diamonds, bead, and channel set halfway across the ring. Together they equal 1.50 carats of VS-H quality, perfectly matching their main diamond.
The 7.7 gram 14 karat white gold ring has been solidly constructed and features a wide bottom for durability. The ring currently measures a finger size of 6 3/4 with a bit of room to adjust.

Dinner rings are the best place for fancy coloured diamonds! The statement pieces are a blank canvas for a goldsmith’s wildest dreams and whoever designed this band was having a very good time! The yellow round brilliant cut diamonds are almost the exact tone of the rich 18 karat yellow gold that holds them. Allowing their winking fire to sparkle subtly against the bolder reddish brown and white diamond bands. All told the hand set diamonds equal a perfect 1.00 carat total estimated weight. They cover the top half of the 8.8 gram intertwining ring for maximum brilliance. The unique ring is estate priced for $3,290.00 CAD. Stock #131-00117 e12883.
Lab-grown diamonds are still a big deal in the jewellery business. Most people think they are new but the knowledge to create man made diamonds has been around since the 1950s. At the time General Electric was researching the concept and grew some poor quality stones. It took another 60 years for the technology to mature to the point where quality and economics allowed mass production possible. Today you can buy exceptional lab-grown diamonds for well under $300.00 per carat. Indeed the science of synthesizing gems has been around for well over 100 years. Lab-grown rubies and sapphires have been around since the late 1800s. The jewels in your great grandfather’s pocket watch are lab-grown rubies. The jewels in high quality watches are not for decorative purposes, they act as low friction bearings protecting components from wear and tear, but I’m getting off topic. True lab-grown gems are not imitations or fakes, they duplicate the same physical, chemical, and optical properties, as a natural jewel.
The distinguishing difference is lab-grown are produced in a controlled laboratory (factory), whereas naturals owe their existence to the randomness of mother natural providing all the ingredients, the environment, plus time, in a rare combinations producing some astonishing gems. Most people know that finding deep green natural emeralds with good clarity and no artificial enhancement is almost impossible, finding one that looks like this lab-grown 1.45 carat example could easily cost $20,000.00 (wholesale).
It’s pretty easy to make a case for and understand why lab-grown alternatives are popular options. Our latest estate ring features a classic emerald cut lab-grown emerald measuring 8mm x 6mm showcasing that deep green hue only the finest natural emerald posses. It is surrounded by 14 small single cut natural diamonds of SI-I quality adding some sparkle and contrast to the rectangular halo outline.
This ring was crafted from 14 karat yellow gold with white rhodium enhancement in a finger size 9. Having a thin 1.5mm shank we’d suggest leaving it in its current size or making it smaller to maintain strength. The ring is in very good condition and the emerald shows no scratches, chips, or nicks. This classic emerald and diamond dinner ring design is estate priced at $720.00 CAD. Stock #206-00648.

Estate jewellery by general definition is simply jewellery that is previously owned. We have 1000s of estate items in stock and the vast majority are not very old. Our contemporary estate jewellery is great and offers excellent value too; but it’s antique and vintage jewellery that really get us excited. When people have beautiful jewellery they usually wear it all the time, sometimes for the better part of a lifetime; quality endures but not forever.
It’s uncommon for us to showcase an original antique ring pushing 100 years old that’s still in very good condition. This ring is one of those uncommon exceptions. It has been hand crafted using the highest karat of white gold available; 19 karat white gold is close to 80% in purity and seldom seen.
The centre piece of the beautiful ring is modified French cut blue sapphire of excellent cornflower blue colour. The sapphire measures 6.0mm x 5.1mm and is estimated to weigh 0.76 carat. The intense blue colour is complimented by superb clarity and finish. There are only a few minor abrasions of a couple of facet junctions.
Sapphires are very tough but after decades of use we often see them with numerous scratches, chips, and worn facets, but that’s not the case with this one. The sapphire is surrounded by 12 round single cut diamonds of high quality (VS-G) all with excellent cut. The fine milgrain bezel and halo border still show excellent detail suggesting this ring was carefully worn throughout its life. The pierced gallery, and hand engraved flower blossom/leaf shoulders show very good relief and detail.
The ring shank measures 2mm (average width) in finger size 7.5. This ring can easily be made a size or two smaller by one of our onsite goldsmiths. You don’t need to be afraid to wear your jewellery, you just need to be conscious of what you’re doing when wearing it. With this in mind there is no reason a high quality ring like this can’t survive a lifetime of enjoyment. This beautiful ring is an great value and estate priced at $1,400.00 CAD. Stock #206-00626.

When the Formula 1 debuted in 1986 they were the extrovert model from the newly formed merger between the Heuer Watch Company and Luxembourg business group Techniques d’Avant-Garde (TAG).
To say the creation of these bright and colourful watches saved the then 125 year old Swiss brand from bankruptcy isn’t a stretch. They were widely popular, inexpensive and captured the feel of the 80s like nothing else other than maybe a disposable Swatch Watch.
Fast forward to 2025 and Tag Heuer have re-launched the Formula 1 in a style almost exactly the same as the first generation. I remember selling the originals for $295.00 with the composite case with a rubber strap.
The modern versions are of superior construction with far more capability and priced accordingly. The latest green/black Formula 1 SolarGraph with stainless steel bracelet retails at $3,000.00 CAD. Our latest Formula 1 is stainless steel on rubber strap with chronograph feature. The vivid green strap with green on black “panda” dial make for a watch that’s hard to miss. In addition to regular time keeping, this watch offers a 30 minute chronograph with 1/10th second display and lap time feature, a useful calendar at 4:00 o’clock, and bright luminous hands/hour markers.
Instead of a rotating timer bezel (redundant on any chronograph equipped watch), this bezel showcases an oversized easy to read Tachymetre scale. This handy device allows the rapid calculation of any repeating event in units per hour within a range 240-60. It sounds complicated but is quite easy in practise after you’ve been shown how to use it. This watch is in perfect condition showing no signs of use.
It was purchased directly from TagHeuer.com in June 2024 and comes complete with the huge box and travel pouch that are only available if ordered directly from the manufacturer.
It also comes with the instruction booklet, digital warranty card (not shown), certificate and folder . This bright green strap version is no longer shown online, but the same model in blue can be seen on the Tag-Heuer website for $2,750.00 CAD. Including our 1-year warranty, the watch is estate priced at $2,000.00 CAD. Stock #520-00180.

Certainly, an inventor has the right to name their invention after themselves but when the American goldsmith Thomas Belcher invented a new kind of diamond setting in the mid-1800s, could he not have thought of a more graceful name than the Belcher setting? Because it really is a thoughtful setting style, sinking the diamond or gemstone protectively into the ring top and digging out decorative high polished Us between the prong sets.
This cluster example takes its inspiration from that setting but mostly drops the decorative Us in favor of packing the 7 diamonds tightly together. The 12.3mm wide ring carries its approximate 1.00 carat total weight of round brilliant cut diamonds proudly, locking them in place with subtle white gold prongs. Being a high VS-H quality they are certainly worthy of their seat of honor!
For some added contrast the 14 karat yellow gold that makes up the body of the ring has been polished and satin-finished with a final touch of a blackening running down each shoulder.
The substantial 12.7 gram ring currently measures a finger size 12 1/2 with room to adjust. Estate price is $2,990.00 CAD. Stock #116-00060.

The 3 pointed star is a corporate logo that is easily recognized worldwide. The simple design has been symbol of Mercedes Benz since 1909 but it goes back quite a bit further. It was inspired by an 1872 postcard from the company founder to his family in which he identified their home with a three pointed star. The 3 points represents the companies intention for their engines to dominate the land, air, and sea environments. Mercedes Benz has seen success in marine and aircraft engines, it is their automobile production that they are most well know for.
This 14 karat yellow and white gold expression of the logo has been made to a standard worthy of the brand. Solid construction with a finished weight of 5.3 grams in upgraded 14 karat gold. The white gold background has been decorated with a reflective dimpled finish and 18 tiny single cut diamonds scattered throughout. Another 3 point star has been fashioned into a large hinged bail that can fit a chain of close to 6mm.
The pendant measures 21.5mm in diameter and is in excellent condition showing no wear on the bail or connecting ring. Estate priced at $1,200.00 CAD. Stock #161-00348.

Now that gold is priced over $6,000.00 (CAD) per ounce we hope people will be more careful when purchasing jewellery. A little knowledge about gold and weight will go a long way in determining good and bad value when it comes to buying jewellery. This time of year there are lots of big sales and promotions out there but keep in mind, price doesn’t tell you a thing about value. Very few stores share information about the gold weight of the jewellery they are selling either online or even in store. We are proud of our jewellery and confident knowing it offers excellent value and every price. Our latest gold necklace is a great example of beautiful design, high quality construction, like new condition, and the type of value few others will match.
This necklace weighs a substantial 21.8 grams (0.7 troy ounce) in 10 karat gold (41.66% purity). With these two pieces of information you can easily calculate the value of the gold in this necklace this this. Current gold price ($6,200.00 CAD. multiplied by the weight (0.7 ounces) multiplied by the purity (41.66%) equals $1,808.00. So even if this necklace has been run over by a train, it would still contain $1,808.00 in just gold value. Naturally it takes more than just raw gold to produce a finished piece of jewellery. It takes other precious metals to alloy, expensive machines to turn the raw metal into finished components, skilled craftsmen and women to assemble the parts, margins to make it worth while at the manufacturing end, duties if imported to Canada, and some retail margin at the point of purchase. All these costs easily double to triple to original gold cost. So this necklace priced at 57% over the scrap value represents very good value. The necklace measures 24 inches in length and 3.7mm wide.
The round cross section links resemble circular bathtub ball chain but with with some additional white rhodium and bright cutting for additional sparkle.
The chain is in like new condition showing new wear of any kind. It is secured by a large lobster clasp with soldered shut connecting ring. It is long enough to be worn even over a heavy sweater and can be used with or without a pendant. We always try to display the pertinent information in order to determine what type of value it represents. This fancy link necklace is estate priced at $2,820.00 CAD. Stock #431-01016.

Spring may be months away but this little bug will help pass the winter in style. This whimsical butterfly has been crafted with delicate pastel coloured wings made from natural citrine and peridot gems. Its body has been hand set with four small round single cut diamonds adding some sparkle. The ethereal wire frame construction is perfect given the subject matter. It has been designed in a way to be worn on a slight angle or straight depending where you decide to have a chain pass through.
It has a wing span of 16.9mm and a finished weight of 1.6 grams in durable 10 karat yellow gold.
The pendent does not come supplied with a chain but we have many new and estate necklaces in stock to choose from. The pendant shows as new, there isn’t the slightest scuff or scratch and on the natural gemstones; I really don’t think this pendant has even been worn or enjoyed before.

Another fine example of our favorite fancy cut diamond, the emerald cut! These meditative halls of light invite you into their depths the way no other diamond cut can. But our bias aside the 0.47 carat total weight trio is well-worth the praise with their eye-clean SI1 clarity and almost indistinguishable I colour. They have been accented with 0.28 carats total weight using 45 petite round brilliant cuts of matching quality; using their splintery sparkle to intensify the calm of the main trio.
The rings are appropriately made from high-quality 14 karat white gold and have been lovingly crafted, with every tiny detail as sharp and thoughtful as if it were the main feature of the set. Both the engagement ring and wedding band currently measure a finger size 6 with some room to adjust. The estate price for the two-piece set only $1,680.00 CAD. Stock #101-00343.
Yellow or white, the choice is yours. Hassle free Huggie style earrings are always popular and can be worn for extended periods of time. They hug the earlobe and don’t have a pointy post that can stab you when you’re asleep. They measure 5.7mm wide and 14.9mm in height. The earrings are of sturdy Italian construction weighing a substantial 4.5 grams in yellow gold and 4.8 grams in white.
The posts are equipped with a notch that locks with the hinged backs when shut. An audible click lets you know the are securely closed. Both pair are in like new condition, the highly polished surfaces reflect like tiny little convex mirrors.
Even the factory applied bright white rhodium plating on the white gold pair is in perfect condition. Gold has pushed well past $6,000.00 per ounce Canadian as of this posting (Dec. 22, 2025); don’t expect to see many manufacturers using such a generous amount of gold when making jewellery like this anymore.
As estate jewellery they are priced much less than their replacement value and represent excellent value. In precious metal content alone, these earring contain $1,069.00 worth of gold, not to mention the value of silver alloy used in their construction. Yellow, white, or both, the choice is yours. They are estate priced at $780.00 (yellow gold) and $840.00 (white gold). Stock #426-00365 & 426-00366.

We’ve described complex jewellery designs with intricate components as being built with puzzle piece precision; but this is the first bracelet we’ve seen with actual puzzle piece shaped links. The only thing holding each link to the next is the precision of the interlocking parts.
Leave it to the Italians to come up with such a complex manufacturing technique. I have no idea of the actual process used to produce something like this, but the results are beautiful. The bracelet even has an engineered bias to only flex in one direction to circle the wrist. A bespoke oversized lobster clasp secures this exotic bracelet.
It measures 7 1/2 inches in total length and 6.6mm x 4.9mm in oval cross section.
Crafted from premium 18 karat gold in rich yellow and bright white gold that has been treated to a sandblasted finish for maximum contrast.
The bracelet is in excellent condition, the only evidence of wear is a small portion on rhodium plating wearing thin on the end links by the clasp. This substantial bracelet weighs in at over 20 grams and feels great on the wrist as it conforms to every contour. This Italian masterpiece is estate priced at $4,500.00 CAD. 441-00434.
Sometimes I wish our photos weren’t quite so revealing. From a naked eye perspective this diamond pendant does what a diamond pendant should. It sparkles and twinkles great thanks to the very good cut, excellent colour, and generous 1.12 carat weight. The single gallery 14 karat white gold setting really sets the diamond off.
Despite being an I2 clarity it looks great. The grade setting feather inclusion can be seen without magnification under close scrutiny, but if they’re that close they deserve to be smacked. This is a natural diamond that took millions of years to form and its birthmarks are part of its history and character. The large hinged bail will accommodate a light to heavy weight chain or even a cord style necklace.
This is one of those jewellery items that needs to be seen in person to be properly appreciated. A bright, well cut diamond pendant of this size for under $3,300.00 represents excellent value. Beware of inexpensive diamonds that are hazy and dull. Many times diamonds like this I2-G look better in person than a stone with a higher clarity and colour. The simple 14 karat white gold Italian chain we have pictured with the pendant is available for $95.00 extra. This sparkling estate diamond pendant is priced at $3,290.00 CAD. Stock #161-00284.
If you’re like me, it’s hard to get excited about lab-grown diamonds. As a product of technology it’s hard not to appreciate them, but they fall short when it comes to emotion. They are made in massive off shore factories in only a few weeks; produced in almost unlimited numbers, in whatever size the next order calls for. Modern technology has progressed to the point where they are almost always ultra high clarity, DEF colour, with an excellent cut. The only thing exciting about lab-grown diamonds is the price. We regularly see high quality lab-grown diamonds with prices of less than $100.00 per carat USD! Searching around the internet shows tennis bracelets with lab-grown diamonds are mostly being made using cheap sterling silver these days. It’s too bad many manufacturers are producing the absolutely cheapest product possible. This estate bracelet is none of that.
It was crafted using mother nature grown natural diamonds that are believed to be at least 1 billion years old, and likely needed millions of years to grow deep within the earth’s crust. The bracelet is made from premium 18 karat white gold (and a generous amount of it) weighing close to half an ounce not including the diamonds. 57 hand set round brilliant cut diamonds each measuring around 2.8mm diameter are securely set in traditional four prong double gallery settings. The bracelet measures 3.2mm wide and 7.5 inches long overall. It is in excellent condition showing little to no wear.
We didn’t even bother to polish it, just a hot ultrasonic cleaning and it’s ready to be enjoyed by the next person who values earth grown diamonds and premium quality gold. The stones are well matched of SI average clarity, H colour, and good to very good cut. Made in Italy to the usual high standards associated with jewellery from this region, each link is tightly connected to the next with no play or wiggle in the joints. It is secured with a plunger type clasp with simple side safety clasp. This significant total diamond weight estate tennis bracelet is estate priced at $7,000.00 CAD. Stock 171-00121.

Yellow gold can be a lovely backdrop for coloured gems as it creates a subtle background that melts into many skin tones during wear. Its warmth can also exaggerate the colours of the gems it carries, as it does with these oval brilliant cut tanzanites. The 7.80-carat combined weight are well-matched bright indigo bracketed by pairs of round brilliant cut diamonds.
The diamonds weigh about 1.00 carat together of I1-JK quality. The 14-karat bangle does have a hollow interior but is by no means made on a budget, weighing in at 20.4 grams. The bracelet is hinged on one side and features a button-release box catch with an additional safety lock.

Elsa Peretti brought the concept of “diamonds by the yard” to the mainstream when she introduced a simple bezel set diamond soldered into a light chain for Tiffany’s in the mid 1970s. They have since become a classic piece of jewellery made at every price point. From sterling silver with cubic zirconia to platinum and 18 karat gold with natural diamonds, these wonderful necklaces are available the please everyone. This estate “diamonds by the yard” creation is a very high quality example crafted from 18 karat yellow gold with natural diamonds.
The extra long creation measures over 36 inches long, featuring 9 marquise cut and 10 round diamonds all hand set in decreet delicate bezel settings. The 19 brilliant cut diamonds weigh close to 2 carats as estimated by our calculations based on measurements and confirmed by the engraving found on the large lobster clasp.
At over 3 feet long this sparkling necklace will easily wrap around the neck twice in staggered lengths or two at 18 inches each. It can also been worn in dramatic fashion as a single necklace. It may look delicate but the 18 karat construction is deceptively hefty weighing close to 6 grams. The diamonds are well matched and of very good VS-HI quality. The necklace shows like new with no visible wear in any joint. Basic versions of these necklaces have been very popular, our extra long upgraded version will make a versatile addition for someone looking for a classic diamond necklace design.

Opal forms in a similar manner to stalactites, mineral-rich (in this case silica-rich); rainwater runs into cavities in rock, settles, and slowly evaporates, leaving its minerals behind. Over thousands of years, this process results in the empty cracks and crevices being filled up by opal. This unpredictable process results in veins of opal that are too thin to be cut but too high quality to ignore. So these veins get extracted with the rock that surrounds them and in many cases get cut and polished attached to that rock for stability. Finally, these thin slices of opal are capped by clear optical quartz to protect them from damage and allow them to be cut into domed cabochons for greater light access and increased play-of-colour. Such is the case with this trio of black opals, all of fine quality, showing a lot of red flash, the most valuable flash colour. They’ve been set into rope-edged bezels and the ring has a further trim of triple-link cable chain. The ring is digit-dominating at 24.7mm long and the earrings measure 12.7mm x 10.9mm. The ring is a finger size 7 with room to change and all three are made from 9 karat yellow gold. The estate price for the ring is $600.00 CAD Stock #206-00304 and for the earrings $245.00 CAD Stock #211-00086.

We know you love our estate earrings. Contemporary, retro, vintage, or antique, they are all popular with our customers. Our walk-in customers get to see almost everything we have in stock; unfortunately, our online clients only see what time allows us to post on our website. We’d love to post everything, but there simply isn’t enough time. Here’s our way of “killing 6 birds with one stone”. These six pair of 14 karat yellow gold earrings are simply being sold by their weight. This isn’t the most accurate or scientific way of pricing them but it isn’t too far off either. Some of these are set with genuine gems and diamonds that weren’t considered in the pricing formula, just the gross weight. Some are of a more complex construction that should reflect a higher cost, but not in this case. Just the weight and only the weight. A couple of pair are modern but most are fun funky retro designs.
They range in weight from 2.2 grams to 7.4 grams and are priced from $281.00 to $947.00 CAD. All are in excellent condition and come in our traditional Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers dark blue box (gift-wrapped if you wish). Stock #211-00083.
All sold except blue topaz.
Topaz make an excellent choice for jewellery. They are one of the hardest gems, they have a relatively high refractive index making them sparkle and disperse white light into spectral colours, and can be very inexpensive. Common colorless and blue topaz can be purchased for only a few dollars per carat, while an exceptional pink topaz can cost over $1,000.00 per carat for a really nice one. This pink topaz has the sought after bubble gum pink colour but adds under $100.00 worth of value to this pendant/necklace. It is a common white topaz than has been colour enhanced by adding a durable transparent pink coating to the pavilion (bottom) of the gem. This surface film is very difficult to seen unless you know what you are looking at. It is stable to common jewellery cleaning solutions and is also ultrasonic safe.
The topaz is surrounded by 30 tiny round brilliant cut diamonds of very nice SI-GH quality. Small in size but quite impactful as a sparkling halo frame to the bright pink topaz. The pendant is suspended by a hinged bail from an 18 inch 14 karat white gold Italian made curb link chain. Both the pendant and chain are in perfect condition showing no wear and tear. The pierced filigree gallery adds some additional detail when viewed from an angle and keeps the point of the low set topaz from poking you in the chest. The “sparkle” from this pink topaz falls somewhere between a top quality pink sapphire and diamond. The pendant and necklace look far more valuable than our estate price of $763.00 CAD would suggest. Stock #230-00108.
It’s not just their size that makes these hoops eye-catching, but their bright cut finish, adding flashes of bright light to their warm yellow gold. At 1 3/4 inches diameter hoops are a size that can transition nicely from daily wear to evening.
The earrings are constructed from 2mm hollow tubing weighing 2.55 grams. They are in perfect condition, showing no dents or signs of wear. Secured with easy to use hinged wire posts. Large hoop earrings are favorites with our customers looking at our estate collection. This pair is estate priced at $360.00 CAD. 426-00233.

Most “gold coins” are alloyed with other metals making them more durable and long lasting once they get into general circulation. That’s makes sense in principle but when was the last time you saw a gold coin in circulation with regular currency? Truth is, since the advent of paper money, gold coins never go into circulation for face value. With the price of gold around $5,800.00 CAD per ounce, the face value of gold coins can be 100 times less than than their actual gold content. Any gold coin alloyed with other metals making them less than 99.9% pure is subject to sales tax when purchased in Canada. 99.9% pure gold coins like this Chinese Panda are seldom encountered by us. They are usually traded among collectors and purchased as investments. Only a handful of countries produce coins of such purity and these coins never go into general circulation for their face value. Bullion coins like these can legally be purchased in Canada tax free, no sales tax is added to the price. The Canada revenue agency looks upon the sale of fine gold and other precious metals as a financial transaction therefor not subject to sales tax. This coin is offered for only the intrinsic value of the gold plus 5%. It has been handled and displays scuffs and scratches but still weighs 1.555 grams according to our scale. You can bang it more up and it will always be worth the weight in gold no matter the condition, as long as it weighs 1/20th of an ounce (1.555 grams). These don’t come in very often and never in significant quantities. At current gold pricing of approximately $5,800.00 per ounce Canadian this coin is selling for $305.00. It is very cute, with a depiction of the lovable panda on one side and a Pagoda on the other. For credit card purchases please add an additional 2% to cover the service fee. Estate priced at gold value only plus 5%. Stock #912-00824.

2025 is the year of the snake and this is the perfect accessory to celebrate the 6th animal sign of Chinese Zodiac. The year of the snake comes around every 12 years and symbolizes wisdom, renewal, and transformation. People born in the year of the snake are often seen as strategic thinkers, intelligent, and intuitive. Love them or hate them, you have to admire any animal that can survive without arms or legs. Millions of years of evolution have made them efficient successful predators despite their obvious challenges.
This simple representation custom crafted from resilient 10 karat yellow gold showcases the essence of the snake. It wraps around the wrist in an seamless one piece design. No hinges or clasps to deal with, just slip it over your hand and enjoy the response from people who admire snakes or find them terrifying and the stuff nightmares are made of. At well over half an ounce in weight, you can feel the quality and security of the solid construction. Two small lab-grown rubies provide the emotionless gaze you’d expect from a creature lacking eyelids or even the anatomy to smile.
If you can see the inside of a snake’s mouth, that’s not a smile, it’s more likely a sign you’re about to be bit. At current gold pricing (Jan. 22, 2025) this 17.1 gram 1o karat bangle contains over $1,500.00 in just recyclable gold content! This bracelet will fit a smaller to medium sized woman’s wrist. It can be bent and opened up a little to accommodate a slightly larger wrist if necessary. It is in excellent condition and estate priced at $1,900.00 CAD. Stock #441-00421.
A blue sapphire anniversary ring without contrasting white diamonds sounds like a pretty dull ring, unless the sapphires look like this. These princess cut sapphires aren’t the typical inky blue/black colour we usually encounter in estate jewellery, they are a beautiful vivid cobalt blue hue. These are lab-grown sapphires produced using the same ingredients as mother nature but grown the laboratory. Like lab-grown diamonds, lab-grown sapphires provide a low cost option without sacrificing quality. The square princess cut shape allows them to be set side by side so close that they look like an uninterrupted bright blue stripe. The are flush set in a protective channel setting. The 14 karat white gold measures 3.6mm wide in a finger size 7. This ring weighs over 3.6 grams and features a thick full shank with solid shoulders.
It was manufactured by Sophia Fiori Diamonds and is a current product (style #CSWP111339). According to the website the 15 sapphire weigh a combined 0.83 carat. Our calculations confirm this weight estimation. We have left the ring in original unpolished condition, showing scratches and scuffs on the shank sides and edges, but most of the factory applied rhodium finish is still intact. We will happily refinish the ring while you wait if you’d like it polished up to a mirror finish. This ring is pretty enough to be worn alone but will pair perfectly to any other ring with a flat edges shank. It is estate priced at $725.00 CAD. Stock #206-00422.
Breitling and Bentley Automobiles have a history dating back only around 20 years to 2002 when they first produced a limited edition watch to commemorate Bentley’s 24 Le Mans class victory at the legendary race. The following year the Bentley came back and won the race outright. The Mulliner name can be traced back to a family of carriers and saddlers from the later half of the 1500s. In the 1760 they were commissioned to build and maintain carriages for the Royal Mail in England. Around the turn of the 18th century they relocated in London to serve society’s elite with custom made horse drawn carriages with bespoke opulent interiors. When early motorcars debuted in the late 1800s, Mulliner applied their skills equipping bare automotive chassis’ with one off body designs and custom interiors. Mulliner Bentleys were the pinnacle of automotive hierarchy in the 1900s. The controlling interest in Mulliner was sold to Roles Royce in 1959, who have since been acquired by Volkswagen in 1998. Today, Mulliner operates as Bentley’s personal commissioning division.
This watch celebrates the Bentley/Mulliner relationship in a special limited edition of the B01 Premier chronograph. The watch showcases Breitling’s in house developed B01 chronometer chronograph that has been modified with a deleted calendar mechanism, and a unique dial. The silver and dial differs from the regular Premier Chrono models with its bold Arabic numbers and an inboard red minute track.
A dark navy blue crocodile leather strap really sets off the sporty dial and compliments the Mulliner name who only use the finest hides for their custom interiors.
A transparent display back allows viewing of the marvelous Bo1 column wheel mechanism.
This watch appears in new condition. It was only worn a few times and remains blemish free. All four lugs are still covered with the factory applied protective stickers, as does the tang style buckle. 
The pale tan backside of the strap also displays no signs of any use.
The watch was delivered to the original owner in April of 2023 and is covered by the Breitling 5-year international warranty.
It comes complete with all the original documents, packaging and plastic hang tag. This rare watch is working great and keeping excellent time. It is estate priced at $7,000.00 CAD. Stock #515-00096.

When the Tudor Black Bay series was released in 2012 it was obviously heavily inspired by the ever-popular Tudor Submariners of the 1950s, featuring the unique contrasting, luminous snowflake hour hand.
Initially only available in red and then blue, its design was so classic and perfectly executed it was honored by the jury of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie in Geneva in 2013. The highly anticipated Black Bay “Black” was released in the fall of 2015 and was available on either a leather strap or metal bracelet.
A few months after the release of the Black Bay Black, Tudor made an announcement at Baselworld 2016 that all Tudor Black Bay models would soon feature an in-house designed and manufactured movement. What is interesting and noteworthy, is that would make the Black Bay Black with Tudor 2824 caliber available for sale for less than a year. The Tudor 2824 caliber movement is based on an ETA 2824 movement used by nearly every luxury watch brand. It is a time-tested (pun intended), trusted movement known for its precision and reliability. However, Tudor’s watchmaking expertise improved upon the ETA incabloc shock protection and regulation system making the movement more specific to the Black Bay. The easiest way to tell the difference between the two is that the original Tudor Black Bay Black had the iconic Tudor Rose emblem on the dial, rose crown, and curved text on the dial.

The new generation Black Bays with the in-house calibre feature the Tudor Shield on the dial, crown, and straight horizontal text. All ETA2824 Black Bay models come with an accessory cloth NATO style strap in addition to a metal bracelet or leather strap (but not both). One of the great things about our Black Bay Black is that it comes with all three bracelet/strap options.
When it was initially purchased in March 2016, the watch came on a stainless-steel bracelet. The original owner decided to purchase the OEM distressed black leather strap with a matching Tudor deployment buckle to have the option to change up the look.
Metal, leather, and nylon bracelets are all in very good condition. That is three unique looks for one watch. The watch is in very good condition showing some scuffs and scratches but remains in its original unpolished condition.
Keeping with the theme of an homage to vintage dive watches Tudor chose to use a flat black dial with gold writing to be paired with rose gold snowflake hands and hour indices giving it a similar look to how early Submariners have aged. Heritage Black Bay Blacks were produced for less than one year making them far rarer than the red or blue bezel versions. Its short production run will surely lead to an increase in value over time and will solidify a place in the horological annals. Comes complete with inner/outer boxes (watch cuff missing), accessories, booklets, hang-tag, and a 1-year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty. The previous owner even kept the white cardboard sleeve showing the correct serial number on the outside sticker. You are not likely to find a more complete example than this one. Estate priced at $6,875.00 CAD. Stock #505-00131.

An attractive shape is hard to describe but you know it when you see it, and these earrings have “it”. I wish we could get more estate jewellery like this, but our vintage collection consists mostly of items we’ll never see again. Interesting hollow hoop earrings are one of our most popular estate items.
They sometimes sell before we even have a chance to post them online. If they make it to our website they are usually purchased within a week or so. I expect the same to happen with our latest pair. This pair of Italian-made hollow earrings each form a smooth 90-degree twist in different directions for each earring making a mirror image of each other.
The mirror image and hollow construction are what makes this sort of jewellery so tricky to manufacture. No one does it better than the Italians when it comes to high quality hollow construction. The set is in perfect condition and measures 1.5 inches and around 10mm wide.
They are lightweight but not so light they don’t offer decent durability. This 5.6 gram pair of estate earrings are in like-new condition and have been freshly polished to a mirror finish by our onsite goldsmiths. Estate priced at $1,190.00 CAD. Stock #426-00320.

People’s Celebration Grand is so named for what they claim to be a 14% increase in the diamonds spread or footprint compared to other diamonds. A quick check of the diamonds dimensions indicate that it has the 61% depth percentage, which is standard for a very good to excellent cut diamond. I suppose in comparing it to average and poorly cut diamonds it would have a 14% larger footprint, but not compared to diamonds cut to proper round brilliant standards. Many jewellery retailors neglect to touch on a diamonds cut grade, as consumers seldom ask about this mysterious 4th of the 4Cs. By focusing their sales pitch on clarity, colour and carat weight instead so they can save cost with average cut grades. Cut is just as important as any other characteristic and anyone shopping for a round brilliant diamond should spend equal energy educating themselves on that C as they do the other three. Slick marketing aside this is an excellent cut diamond and beautiful ring! It’s been cut to Hearts and Arrows standards and has had a Firetrace light analysis done to determine its level of brilliance, scintillation, and dispersion.
As proof of the power of a good cut, the 0.58 carat diamond hardly shows its I1-H quality. It shows much cleaner and whiter to the unaided eye thanks to all that brilliance! The diamond is also of Canadian origin with a laser inscription across its girdle as proof of pedigree. The centre diamond is accented by an additional 1.00 carat of I1-HI accent diamonds all set into a robust 5.9 gram, 14 karat white gold halo engagement ring.
The ring is equipped with a permanent ring guard that hugs the finger, preventing the top heavy ring from rolling over. Accompanying the ring is its original Peoples box and a 2014 Gem Scan Laboratories Firetrace report, diamond grading report, certificate of Canadian origin/authenticity, and an estimated retail replacement value of $5,300.00 (as of February 28, 2014). The ring is currently shown on Peoples Jewellers website for $5,800.00, on sale from their regular price of $7,499.00. Our estate price is only $3,500.00 CAD. Stock #101-00675 e10596

You should always be wary when purchasing sealed gold bars, regardless of the refiner, denomination, or size. Sealed bars are a favorite target for fraudsters. If you have the means of faking a decent gold bar you can certainly fake the packaging! For this reason, we never purchase bars without getting permission to cut them out of their sleeves and test them. We’ve seen sealed bars that turn out to be only gold plated once removed from their tamper-proof packaging.
So don’t be alarmed that the packaging on this bar has been cut open with a box cutter knife; it was for your protection and ours. This RCM 1 ounce bar has the coveted four 9 purity the Royal Canadian Mint is known for.
Purchasing bullion like this is considered a financial transaction, and therefore not subject to any form of sales tax. They are offered for just 2% on top of the current spot price, which can be found here. Act fast, these don’t usually last too long and they are often our of stock at many bullion dealers!

Without question the Rolex Submariner is the world’s most popular sports watch. For more than 70 years the Submariner has been the choice for those who want a watch than can operate with accuracy and reliably in almost any environment. For the first few decades of production the Submariner was only available in stainless steel.
In the late 70s, an all gold version debuted, a few year later a two-tone version became available. The gold and two-tone models where signs of changing times and a change of corporate direction for Rolex. They realized they needed to become a luxury lifestyle statement in addition to one of many other high quality watch manufacturers.
Their watches were not only being purchased by those who required the specific capabilities, but more and more by people wanted to be part of the Rolex story. Adding diamonds and sapphires to a watch that was originally developed as a simple time telling watertight tool contribute zero function. In fact the sparkling hour markers framed in 18 karat yellow gold bezels detract from the outright legibility, but they sure do look nice.
The champagne dial along with other gem set dials have come to be know as “serti” dials. Serti comes from the French word “sertir”, meaning “to set”, specifically in reference to gem setting. Rolex describe all of their watches set with gems faces as serti dials, but most Rolex fans refer mostly to the sports references with gem dials as serti models. The professional models have always been the most popular and we see our fair share of them but rarely do they turn up with these expensive optional dials.
I can only recall seeing around half a dozen or so of these serti Submariners pass through our estate department over the pass four decades. Our latest Submariner dates from 2001 according to the K882076 serial number. The original champagne dial is in excellent condition, no discolouration, moisture stains, or blemishes of any kind. The full length bracelet 93253 features (new for the era) solid end links and an 18 karat yellow gold stripe on the buckle.
The 18 karat and stainless steel bracelet shows only minor sag.
The rotating timer bezel turns counter clockwise with precision allowing a timer display of up to 60 minutes with 30 second intervals. The threaded triplock crown feels like new with a full turn and a half before popping out to the winding position.
The sharp edged lab-grown sapphire crystal is perfect, showing not even the slightest scuff, scratch, or nicked edge. The watch is running great with all functions operating as designed. Don’t let the pretty face fool you, this watch is still a Submariner and was warrantied watertight when new to a depth of 1000 feet. The watch still passed our vacuum test but we suggest you don’t wear this watch for deep dives. Although this watch dates from 2001, the tritium dial would suggest it is a few years earlier as they were phased out in 1999.
Since this watch is so fully documented we believe this is a case of Rolex using up some older dials on newer production. These valuable original tritium dials are no longer available and a replacement service dial from Rolex is going to cost over $3,000.00. Considering their rarity, serti dial Submarines don’t cost nearly as much as you’d expect. Looking at what’s available on the secondary market, there appears to be only around 1 serti dial for every 100 regular dial Submariners and it’s been this way for years. This is a one owner watch who bought it new from of friends at D.C. Taylor Jewellers in Collingwood Ontario in October 2002.
The previous owner had it factory serviced through D.C. Taylor in 2015 and again in 2023. The watch comes complete with both service documents and service warranty cards.
The original owner wisely declined the factory offer in 2023 to replace (with exchange only) the “tritium” dial with the newer style for $2,776.00 plus tax. There is documentation from Rolex supporting his choice to leave the tritium dial in place. The hands and bezel are luminova as one would expect from a 2001 model year Submariner.
The 2023 service warranty expired in May 2025, but we are happy to provide the new owner with a complimentary 1-year warranty. The watch comes with everything show in these images and more. It is estate priced at $20,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00428.
“Anniversary rings” are some of the most versatile designs around, and they don’t need to be reserved for a special anniversary. The flat edge allows them the fit flush with many different rings. They can be used in front or behind your existing wedding/engagement set, they look look great when stacked up against a plain wedding ring other flat edged design. We get a steady supply of anniversary style rings, most featuring a string of channel or prong set round diamond across the top and shoulders. Few anniversary rings have diamonds set around the entire circumference, fewer still feature anything other than round brilliant cut diamonds. Our latest anniversary ring is a full eternity design showcasing an endless row of square baguette step cut diamonds elegantly channel set in an uninterrupted string of high quality sparkle. The 32 diamonds are of VS-GH quality and measure 2mm x 2mm. The ring only measures 2.75mm in width, so pretty much all you see are the twinkling natural diamonds.
It measures a rather small finger size 5 1/4. The taller wall height of 2mm allows us to bore this ring out a bit to increase the size by a small amount if needed. Being made from durable platinum means this ring can be worn for decades without concern if worn responsibly. It’s hard to place a date on this classic design; it could be only a few years old but it could also be more than 100 years old. It has no metal content/purity stamp or maker mark but we have tested it to be premium quality platinum. The pierced frame design allows easy cleaning and extra strength as each diamond is nestled into its own square setting.
Of the 32 diamonds 5 have chipped corners that go unnoticed except under extreme scrutiny or magnification. Even with the minor chips the diamonds are quite secure and in no danger of coming out. This sort of eternity ring is very rare to encounter, it would be difficult and rather expensive to replace. Apart from the 5 diamonds that have chipped corners the ring is in very good condition, showing little wear to the channels that secure the diamonds in place. Estate priced at $1,750.00 CAD. Stock #121-00231.
As of this posting (Nov. 28th 2025), silver is trading at a fresh all time high of $79.00 CAD per ounce. Gold is also getting close to an all time high too; currently at $5,900.00 per ounce. The high cost of precious metals may sound like great news for jewellers, but the opposite is true. The sky high input costs makes producing high quality, decent weight, affordable jewellery almost impossible. The answer is to make jewellery light and flimsy from lower purity alloys that don’t last and have little value. Forget about seeing something like our latest pair of Huggie style estate cuff earrings at a store selling new jewellery.
Before you even start to manufacture a set of earrings like this you must buy the raw materials. In recyclable gold content these earrings contain 4.8 grams of pure gold worth over $900.00, add to that $9.00 of fine silver alloy, and $50.00 worth of tiny diamonds. Those are the ingredients, now you need to turn all that into what you see here. The cost of manufacturing can double the price of the raw materials and then a retail margin needs to be factored in on top of that. You can quickly see how high quality adds up when building nice jewellery like this.
That’s where the value of estate jewellery outshines everything else. You get high quality at a price that can’t be beat, resulting in outstanding value, but not necessarily low price. These huggie style earrings are in like new condition and have been freshly polished. They can be worn with the diamond stripe on the outside or the inside, they can even be reversed for a more casual look with just a highly polished flat surface showing.
The vertical string of hand set single cut diamonds have been rhodium enhanced for some extra sparkle. They each have tight hinges and very secure locking posts that disappear into the back (or front) of the hoop. This style can be worn 24/7 as there is no exposed post to poke you in the head. They only measure a little over half an inch in diameter and hug the earlobe like a cuff.
They are estate priced at $1,440.00 CAD. Stock #151-00314.
We’ve had a run of this style antique diamond rings lately, but don’t get used to it, these designs don’t show up very often around here. Seeing a 3 stone example in yellow gold is very rare indeed as white gold was the new and trendy metal of the era. Prior to World War 1, if you wanted a white metal ring your choice was either silver or platinum, white gold didn’t exist yet. Platinum was declared a strategic metal during The Great War and its use was reserved for military purposes only.
Metallurgists determined that by combining pure yellow gold with various other white metals like nickel, palladium, silver, along with copper, they could create “white gold”, an easy to work and less expensive alternative to platinum. Our latest Art-Deco filigree ring is mostly yellow gold with white gold settings and claws. Premium 18 karat white gold does a better job of showcasing the sparkle of a diamond, is harder and longer lasting than yellow gold.
This is a great example of a popular style from the 1920s. The delicate pierced filigree decoration of this one is in especially good condition, showing little wear to the fine milgrain details.
The 3 old European cut diamonds appear original to the ring and are estimated to weight 0.72 carats total weight with an average quality of I1-JK. It is a smaller finger size 5 but can be made larger if required.
There are few styles of rings that better define the early Art-Deco era than a ring like this. It is a lot of sparkle and sure to get noticed for the estate price of $1,680.00 CAD. 131-00186.

The pendant is in perfect shape, it doesn’t display even the slightest evidence of wear in the bail where the chain runs through. We are showing this pendant on a 14 karat yellow gold rolo style chain (sold separately). The white gold pendant pairs equally well with either yellow or white gold in any length.

Sauro Jewelry from Italy is unlike almost any other manufacturer in the jewellery business. There are many excellent manufactures producing high quality products but few with the technical precision of Sauro.
The gold chains, bracelets and rings they make are fabricated with the kind of engineered precision similar to what you’d expect from a luxury Swiss watch brand. Proprietary and patented clasps with complex interlocking links are trademarks of Sauro designs.
These necklaces and bracelets are for people who appreciate more than just precious metal and high quality, they are made for those who understand what it means to wear something that is truly special and unique.
You can buy a common curb, box, figaro, mariner or rope chain pretty much anywhere, but Sauro products are almost one of a kind. Most of what they produce is made to order.
When Sauro produce something new, it’s just that, something that has never been seen before. We have a good selection of necklaces and bracelets from this prestigious brand from Vicenza, Italy.
They are all priced waaaaaaay below their wholesale cost at only 20% over just the value of gold they contain! The replacement value of these necklaces and bracelets is close to three times their actual gold content.
Many of these like new estate chains and bracelets can be seen on the Sauro website with pricing in USD. Italian made jewellery of this quality is difficult to produce, time consuming, and can only be accomplished by the best craftsmen and women in the industry. It takes a combination of advanced casting and machining techniques plus the skills of highly trained master jewellers. At today’s gold price (Dec. 24, 2025) of $6,123.00 Canadian per ounce, every gram of 18 karat gold is worth over $147.00.

Not all earrings are easy to live with for more than your waking hours only. Long posts can poke you in the side of the head if worn to bed, long drops can get tangled in your hair etc. Compact lever back hoops like this look great for any occasion and can easily be worn for days on end without getting in the way or becoming uncomfortable. Not too small n0t too big, they are large enough to be noticed but small enough to be worn for an extended period of time.
Not only versatile but they are very secure due to the locking lever-back post and hinge. A small grove in the post, interferes with a slot in the hinge locking the back in place. To release the hinge, simple push up on the post and pull back the hinge. These are very well made, crafted from a generous 4.3 grams (net weight) of 14 karat yellow gold.
Channel set in each earring are 8 round brilliant cut diamonds, in total we estimate they weigh 0.50 carats of SI-I-J quality. They are in like new condition showing no wear in the hinge. Freshly polished, looking like new, and ready for 24/7 enjoyment. Estate priced at $900.00 CAD. Stock #151-00377.

Retro looks in a classic “tank” shaped case. If you only saw the silhouette of this watch you’d instantly know what you were looking at. Louis Cartier (grandson of the founder) was inspired by the shape of World War 1 military tanks and designed this style of watch in 1917 after seeing the war machines in the fields of Europe. The concept came into production a short time later and was considered a very masculine style and quite a departure from traditional round shaped watch cases.
The Great War also cemented the future of the wrist watch for men. Using a pocket watch during military maneuvers was awkward at best and potentially deadly. More than 100 years after its introduction the tank watch in various forms is the shape most associated with Cartier watches.
In the 1970s the “must de Cartier” was introduced in an attempt to leverage the buying power of a new middle class baby boomer generation who had disposable income for such luxuries. The line wasn’t the premium solid gold models but they shared a similar look and heritage. The must de Cartier was a huge success and introduced the French brand to millions of new customers and their friends. Sterling silver construction drastically reduced manufacturing costs, while the heavily gold plated case looked like the expensive 18 karat models at a fraction of the price. The hard gold plating was durable and long lasting, it could even survive a light hand polish every once in a while. Our latest Tank is this hand wind mechanical version with the very rare “Tri-Gold” dial. The mirrored face of rose, white, and yellow rectangles pairs perfectly with the shape that defines the brand.
According to the son of the original owner, the watch was worn in the 1980s for 5 to 10 years then parked in a drawer for the next 30. If it wasn’t for the patina/oxidation on the case sides this watch would look almost like new. The oxidation can be removed by hand with a few wipes of a polishing cloth in less than a minute.
Leaving it in place corroborates the history as we understand it. The case is in excellent condition, only the 1:00 o’clock lug is showing the thinnest sliver of sterling silver that wearing through on the inside lug edge.
Currently the watch is fitted with a generic lizard strap that will be replaced with a new one for the next owner. It’s nice the see the original buckle was transferred to the replacement strap.
The hand wind 17 jewel movement is working great and keeping time although it’s understandably very dry. We will include a complimentary overhaul and new strap with purchase for the next owner.
The calibre 78-1 is a basic movement that is reliable, familiar, easy to work on by most watchmakers. In Cartier form the base ETA calibre 2512-1 it is nicely finished and ready for the next half century of dependable service. 23.5mm in width makes for a very comfortable wearing experience.
If you wanted something similar today from the current Cartier line up, the least expensive model will set you back $19,900.00. The new model is 2mm wider, still operates using a traditional wind-up movement, but the case is solid 18 karat gold not gold plated over sterling silver. If your really want some gold, the $16,400.00 difference will buy close to 3 ounces of bullion at the current gold price (Nov. 20, 2025). Our 40 year old Cartier icon comes with some original documents, red folder, and warranty card (not been dated). Including our 1-year warranty, new strap, and complimentary first service, this retro classic is estate priced at $3,500.00 CAD. Stock #501-00404.
We never grow tired of showcasing these beautiful antique diamond engagement rings from the early part of the 20th century. They have an almost universal appeal to everyone. There is no denying the artistry of the jewellers who made these wonderful rings 100 years ago. They are becoming more scarce all the time as they are worn by successive generations adding wear and tear these rings weren’t designed for. Rings like these were considered exceptionally precious works of art, worn carefully and consciously. They were not intended to be worn while doing heavy physical activity. They are built durably but with limits.
The delicate shank on this example only measures just under 1mm wide, it wouldn’t have been any thicker than 1.5mm even when it was brand new. One trip to the gym today with this ring on would likely result in a bent or broken shank. Rings like this can be worn often but they must be treated cautiously. The fine pierced filigree galleries on this ring are practically perfect, they still feature fine milgrain and engraving that is still very crisp and sharp.
The diamond in this ring measures 4.50mm x 2.65mm and is estimated to weigh 0.33 carat. Compared to the monster 2.00 to 5.00 carat lab-grown monsters we’re selling these days it looks rather small, but this size of natural diamond was available to only those with significant means back then. Most young brides only wore a simple wedding band. Having a diamond (of any size) was uncommon, and this one is much larger than what we usually see in these styles. It is of very nice SI1 clarity with a GH colour. There is little chance this diamond came from anywhere other than South Africa as that was pretty much the only source for diamonds back then. This ring measures a larger than average size 10.
We can adjust it down 2 or 3 sizes if needed. There is no reason to believe this ring will not last many more decades if looked after and worn carefully. It is light at only 1.8 grams and a pleasure to wear. This style of ring always receives compliments from our customers and don’t last in our showcases very long. If you’ve always admired the Art-Deco design period, here is a great chance to get a classic example at the estate price of $1,020.00 CAD. Stock #101-00485.

FOPE has an almost century-long history of high-quality jewellery manufacturing behind its name. The brand began in 1929 as a small jewellery manufacturing shop with 20 employees. They expanded multiple times over the decades, and in the 1980s developed a specialized gold mesh that would become the iconic feature of their brand. The Novecento mesh is made from an interlocking connection of the individual links that make up the necklace and bracelet we are featuring today. The set is certainly interesting for more reasons than its links, the station-style pieces feature freely swinging diamond studded drops.
The 7.5-inch long bracelet spaces its 5 diamonds evenly across the wrist and the 16.5 inch long necklace focuses its 7 diamonds across the collarbone. The petite VS-FG round brilliant cut diamonds equal 0.15 carats together. Both the chain and bracelet are equipped with a stylized lobster clasp stamped proudly with its FOPE origins.
Being made by one of Italy’s most luxurious manufacturers pretty much ensures the pieces would be made from top-quality 18 karat white gold. Both pieces are in like-new condition, retaining their original chromy white rhodium finishes. They are accompanied by their original FOPE cloth lines box. The estate price for the set only is $6,000.00 CAD. Stock #161-00147

If you were married 100 years ago and you had a few extra dollars, you may have been able to afford a thin gold wedding band. The engagement ring was still a relatively new concept, diamonds were rare and expensive, a stone of 1 carat or more were almost never seen except in the big cities where a few wealthy people had them. Today we can sell you a 2 carat, perfectly cut lab-grown diamond of top quality (VVS2-F or better) for just $660.00 USD.
This antique estate diamond engagement ring is typical of what a fortunate bride might be wearing in the 1920-1930s. Light, delicate, with intricate details were the standard back then rather than the exception.
High quality with superb craftsman were what to expect even in a light weight ring like this. Many rings from this era survived the first and perhaps some of the second generation but seldom do they come to us in this sort of condition. The pierced filigree on the shoulders and gallery is in very good condition showing only minor wear. The fine milgrain detail is still quite sharp given it is 100 years old.
It’s quite light at just over 1.9 grams but premium 18 karat white gold alloys from this era are much more resilient than you’d expect. The size 9 ring has a thin shank but is safe to wear as long as you don’t do heavy physical work when it’s worn. Adjusting it down a size or two wouldn’t be problem and will increase the strength. The round transition brilliant cut diamond is a modest 0.065 carat of nice SI-GH quality.
It is secured by the original bead claws than don’t appear to have ever been rebuilt. These Art-Deco engagement ring are always well received by our customers, especially when they are original and in very good condition. This antique diamond ring is estate priced at $510.00 CAD. Stock #101-00489.
Earrings are a clean slate when it comes to jewellery design and personal expression. This pair of hollow twisting drops are what happens when you cross a large hoop earring with a tornado. The corkscrew drops measure close to 2 inches from top to bottom.
They are attached to 7.7mm button discs by connecting rings that allow the double helix spirals to swing freely with the slightest movement. They are in perfect condition showing no dents, dings, or scratches of any kind.
Secured with snug fitting butterfly backs on standard 0.8mm wire posts. Constructed from 2.5mm wide hollow tubing of heavy gauge contributing to a significant total weight of over 4.4 grams. These wonderful earrings are sure to get noticed and invite many compliments. Estate priced at $770.00 CAD. Stock #426-00354.

Despite their petite size of only 14mm in diameter by 6mm wide, these Huggies certainly use the space they’ve been given. Featuring five mirror-finished planes the geometric earrings are eye-catching but small enough for daily wear.
They’re equipped with recessed three-piece hinges and heavy locking posts that sink into a solid plate of gold, ensuring these earrings aren’t going anywhere. The 14 karat yellow gold hoops weigh in at 5.95 grams and are estate priced at $1,020.00 CAD. Stock #426-00122.


Our estate collection offers jewellery items that you’d never see at most jewellery stores. Unique items with truly remarkable value are what the estate selection at Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers is all about. This dramatic pearl necklace would cost a small fortune if you were to try to duplicate it today. Just consider the components; seven strands of high quality Japanese Akoya cultured pearls showing few blemishes with a thick coating of fine grain nacre.
Each strand containing around 121 individual pearls measuring 3.7 to 4.0mm diameter per strand. Even the process of drilling over 800 tiny pearls seems like a daunting task. It’s hard to decide whether the pearls or the clasp is the focal point of this necklace. The hand carved lapis lazuli and 14 karat yellow gold clasp can be worn as the highlight or hidden at the back of your neck.
The fluted barrel shaped lapis clasp measures 1 inch in length and is set with 18 round brilliant cut diamonds measuring approximately 1.2mm diameter of SI-HI quality (0.125ct.tw.). The easy to use plunger style clasp is secured with a fold over side safety.
At 17.5 inches in length the necklace should fit most women.
It can be worn as a twisted rope style or inline design with the clasp at the front to be seen or hidden at the back. The cold to the touch feel of cultured pears combined with a finished weight of 66.5 grams make for a wonderful experience when worn. The estate price of only $2,500.00 is far below the wholesale replacement cost for this spectacular pearl necklace. Stock #231-00406.
A gold Mexican two and a half Peso coin from the year World War II ended; incidentally, Mexico was very vocal in encouraging their southern neighbors to support the Allies after they joined the fighting in 1942. The coin has been framed with white gold and diamonds, setting off the rich warmth of its 90% gold content.
The 17.68mm x 17.71mm ring top features 0.20 carats total weight of I1-IJ round brilliant cut diamonds. The rest of the ring is understated 14 karat yellow gold in a finger size 7 with some room to adjust. As of Nov. 14th, the recyclable gold content of this ring was just shy of $1,500.00. We could easily recover most of that if we choose to recycle the ring, but we feel something so unique should be saved. That and we’re happy to hang on to it a while longer as it’s becoming more valuable all the time. Estate price is $1,700.00 CAD. Stock #116-00050.
We almost never see platinum in bullion form, and even in jewellery platinum it is scarce. Just how rare this precious metal is can be debated but it is thought to be around 20-30 times more rare than gold, at least in terms of actual platinum that has been mined and recovered. All the platinum mined throughout history would only make cube of only around 23 feet per side. From our own experience we can confidently say at least 100 ounces of gold compared to every ounce of platinum that comes through our estate department. Ten years after Canada introduced the world’s first 999 pure gold coin, the Royal Canadian Mint introduced its 9995 one ounce platinum coin in 1988. Canadian platinum coins are far more rare compared to the gold versions, these coins are minted in numbers lower than 20,000 per year compared to over 1,000,000 for the gold coins in high production years. No platinum coins were produced at all from 2000 to 2008. Platinum is far more rare than gold and silver, it’s also more dense. Compared to a 1 ounce pure silver coin the 1 ounce platinum coin occupies far less space.
Historically speaking platinum has been much more expensive than gold (sometimes double the price). For the last few years platinum has been trading for a big discount relative to gold. This coin is a true rarity for us, one we’re not likely to encounter again for some time. We recycle hundreds of ounces of silver and gold every year adding far more precious metal back into the system than we use in finished jewellery. In more than 7 decades of precious metal recycling we’ve only refined our scrap platinum bits and pieces twice. Only twice in over 70 years have we had enough of this rare grey/white metal to refine. We have many clients who like to purchase gold and silver bullion, but for the real precious metal connoisseur there is nothing like platinum. First come first serve for this one.

They say “dollar cost averaging” is the best way to invest for the long term. Doing such avoids buying at the highs and lows, avoiding the volatility makes sure you’ve never paid too much. Silver is taking a pause from some serious appreciation in 2025. It was over $76.00 in the middle of October and is now trading closer to $70.00 CAD (Nov. 10th, 2025). Getting a couple of ounces of one of the world’s most recognized bullion coins isn’t a huge financial commitment but it’s a great way to get into bullion investing or adding a bit more to your stack. Fine silver like this is sales tax exempt. To see the current price of silver in Canadian dollars click here. These two coins are being sold for the actual silver value they contain plus 10% for NON credit card purchases, add 2% in you want to pay by VISA or MasterCard.

Some of Tag Heuer’s AquaRacer models have evolved into very attractive “jewellery” watches over recent years. They were first introduced as a continuation of the very successful 2000 series in 2004. Every Aquaracer provides a rugged platform with serious sporting features. Don’t let the dramatic iridescent mother-of-pearl diamond dial fool you. This watch is still made with the right stuff, able to stand up to any task asked of it. Water resistant to 300 meters, synthetic sapphire crystal, threaded crown/case back, luminous hands, solid link stainless steel locking bracelet, and ratcheting timer bezel are the same features offered by the pure tool design AquaRacer models. The beautiful mother-of-pearl dial adds a sophisticated detail that is quite striking against the combination of brushed stainless steel and gold plated trim.
10 high quality round brilliant cut diamonds add some sparkle and a luxury touch. It displays some scratches and scuffs mostly visible on the buckle cover, the bracelet and case show only minor blemishes, nothing significant.
The heavy gold plating is fully intact on the bracelet, but bezels studs are beginning to show some stainless steel showing on the sharp edges.
The lab-grown sapphire crystal is perfect, offering flawless optics and viewing of the iridescent mother-of-pearl dial. At 32.5mm in case diameter, model WAF1320 is easy to read but not too big or bulky. Tag Heuer still makes a contemporary version of this watch for $5,300.00 which can be seen on their website. The previous owner had a smaller wrist; if you have a larger wrist we may need to order you an extra link or two.
This is a great looking watch ready for whatever you can throw at it. It does not come with any original packaging or documents. Including a complimentary 1-year warranty this estate Tag Heuer is priced at $1,800.00 CAD. Stock #520-00165.

4 digit model number Rolex watches from the 1950s do not show up very often, in fact, they almost never show up. The 1950s were a time when Rolex really began to establish itself as a high-quality do it all watch manufacturer that could stand up to the demands of the modern 20th century. The demographics of the 1950s presented Rolex with the perfect opportunity to take advantage of middle-class disposable income. Jobs and money were plentiful; this watch likely cost less than 2 weeks of wages at the time. Rolex was establishing a vast dealer network across North America looking to grab a piece of the action. This Rolex Oyster looks much more modern than the mid-50s thanks to its more modern service dial and hour/minute hands. The nifty blued steel seconds hand offers a clue to its true age.
This watch likely originally was delivered with an Explorer type dial. The original dial was likely exchanged for this more modern silver with a radial finish and classic 18 karat white gold stick hour markers. The watch is powered by what appears to be the original calibre A296-775 Rolex automatic winding mechanism that is running strong and keeping good time.
Semi bubble back case Rolex watches in 36mm sizes are much harder to come across than the common 34mm size. The original Oyster case is in excellent condition showing very little pitting as is common on early steel Rolex watches. The original engraved serial/style numbers are clearly visible after the American made Jubilee bracelet is removed.
Instead of reading REGISTERED DESIGN, this case says BREVET, derived from the french word for patent. It’s remarkable to us that a 66-year-old watch can look so contemporary, but such is the Rolex style. 6 months, 6 years, or 66 years old, a Rolex Oyster is always in style. The loose link Jubilee bracelet allows a super comfortable fit for a wrist size of up to 7 3/4 inches. The famous Rolex coronet buckle still displays good relief.
Looking at current Rolex watches, a similar 36mm model is still available although only with the more sporty Oyster style bracelet. The current version of this watch can be seen on the Rolex website for $7,200.00 CAD. Including a complimentary 1-year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty the watch is estate priced at $7,500.00 CAD. Stock #e11990.
Emeralds are by far the most difficult gems to find with an attractive colour and clarity without paying top dollar. Natural emeralds that do not have significant clarity altering inclusions are rare; the more pure and vivid/intense the green, the greater chance it displays poor clarity.
That’s the advantage of our estate jewellery, we often feature high quality, vintage jewellery that has been assembled from premium components, but priced less than the average quality you typically encounter. Our latest estate ring is a great example of excellent value estate jewellery. This emerald is a beautiful green colour with minor inclusions that have only a small impact on overall transparency.
It is a decent size measuring 7.0mm x 5.1mm and is estimated to weigh 0.58 carats. The surrounding 10 natural round brilliant cut diamonds are also better quality and larger than you’d typically see on a cluster ring. The diamonds are estimated to weigh a nice tidy 1/2 carat and of of easy SI1 clarity with an H or better colour. The average size 7 ring can be adjusted up or down as required.
Crafted from 14 karat white gold, the ring is showing almost no wear except the original rhodium finish is mostly gone as we polished the shank in preparation for sale. Bright green emeralds with good clarity are illusive, this is a very nice example of a classic design. Estate priced at $1,440.00 CAD. Stock #206-00633.

Silver recently touched $76.00 CAD per ounce and has fallen back to around $68.00 as of today (Nov. 3, 2025). Many feel there is much more upside to the price of silver and other precious metals. Obtaining physical silver is very difficult right now because many refiners are no longer accepting scrap silver for refining because they are overwhelmed with scrap silver. We think this situation will sort itself out over time when market conditions become more normalized.
Premiums for buying the physical metal are once again seeing significant increases. If you have some, holding on to it may be a good idea. We do not consider ourselves precious metal dealers but we do come across some interesting bullion from time to time. These 5 x 1 ounce Johnson Matthey 999 fine silver bars are very desirable to those who want to own and hold the actual metal. They are still factory sealed and show consecutive serial numbers. If you’re interested in buying them DO NOT WAIT, we expect these will sell very very quickly. They are priced at just 10% over spot pricing. Collectable JM bars typically trade hands for larger premiums than generic bars. Stock #912-00813.

From time to time a funky retro piece comes to our estate department that must be showcased. Many lesser quality, thin, light versions of these have been recycled for gold content over the last 30 years or so. It’s no secret that most herringbone necklaces got kinked because they were made very frail and did not stand up to regular wear. Yes, even when gold was only worth 1/10th of what it is today, manufactures were battling to make this sort of necklace as light as possible with disastrous results. This example is not light, frail, weak, or thin. This is how they all should have been made. It measures a showstopping 11.5mm in width, and weighs well over one troy ounce at 34.7 grams.
Constructed in Italy it displays the high level of craftsmanship that the Italians for known for, beautiful finish, heavy duty findings that are attached for perfect precision.
The overall length of 17 inches will fit the average to slim neck perfectly. It is wide and heavy but also extremely flexible, able to follow the subtle contour of the feminine neckline.
This herringbone is especially attractive, highlighted with thousands of tiny bright cut details that catch the light adding sparkle with the slightest movement.
This necklace shows zero wear in any of the joints and appears in like new condition. Retro is back and we are getting more requests for herringbone necklaces again. This extraordinary example is estate priced at $3,350.00 CAD. Stock #431-001001.

Tiffany designs are are often copied directly or are the inspiration for many styles that become mainstream at many jewellery stores. We’re not sure if this is a stylized four leaf clover or another floral interpretation but the balance and symmetry are captivating on a miniature scale. This is a small pendant measuring just 8.3mm in width.
What it lacks in outright dimension it makes up for in visual impact. The four inward facing bezel set pear shaped brilliant cut diamonds form the main “leaf” sections with four tiny round diamonds filling in the negative space between. The centre of the blossom features a slightly larger bezel set round diamond.
The nine diamonds are of standard Tiffany quality (minimum VS-GH). The pendant and 16 inch rolo style chain have been crafted from platinum. Platinum is the preferred choice for premium jewellery when a silver/white look is the goal. White gold isn’t as white and needs a coating of rhodium to cover up its natural warmer hue. Platinum is very dense, even 18 karat gold is noticeably lighter than platinum. On a small pendant such as this, a little extra weight doesn’t hurt and helps keep the pendant centred. The necklace is secured by a small but sturdy spring ring clasp.
This rare pendant is no longer shown on the Tiffany website and there are few examples we could find online. Calculating the diamond weight is a little more difficult with bezel settings as we can’t be 100% sure of the diamonds dimensions. With careful measuring and estimation by formula we estimate this pendant contains 0.19 carats of top quality natural diamonds. The pendant is in excellent condition, comes with its original signed Tiffany black box, and is estate priced at $2,100.00 CAD. Stock #161-00266.
If you’re familiar with the Bell & Ross brand, you likely picture an oversized square case watch that looks like an instrument you’d see on an aircraft cockpit dash. They also produce some interesting designs from their Vintage collection that are a little more traditionally styled. Our newest estate watch is one of their most basic looking but it still has the look of a military issued timepiece. For a high quality, function first watch, it would be pretty hard to beat the Bell & Ross BRV192.
At 38.5mm in diameter its a size that anyone can wear. The large dial and thin bezel make the watch wear a little larger than the size suggests. At only 11mm in total thickness it is easy to tuck away under a shirt.
The semi-gloss black dial is rather minute centric with large printed Arabic numbers printed inboard of the hour markers and a thin minute track on the outside dividing the seconds into fifths. Even the extra long minute hand reaches almost to the outer edge of the dial. All 12 hour markers and hour/minute hand have been treated to a luminous faux patina mimicking a vintage watch with radium or tritium luminous paint. Despite the tan hue they still glow effectively in the dark.
The triangle with two dots is a traditional feature found on many military watches to easily instantly distinguish the 12 o:clock index.
I’m not sure if by coincidence or design that the tail of the seconds hands appears to be the silhouette of a delta winged jet aircraft. As a final acknowledgement to the military design the MT in a red circle stands for Military Type. A small calendar between the 4 and 5 is a small concession given for a little utility.
The tiny cutout hardly interrupts the perfectly balanced dial and is very discreet with thin white print on a black background. The domed sapphire crystal is a vintage looking feature that also disperses reflections better than a flat surface. Powering the BRV192 is the Bell & Ross calibre 302 (Selitta base SW300) it is a robust performer with a more than 2 day power reserve.
The original strap and buckle have been replaced with a generic replacement. The 20mm lug width allows a large variety of choices for different straps. If comes complete with the original inner/outer boxes, endorsed warranty card and product tag showing a retail price of JP¥269,500 Japanese Yen ($2,400.00 CAD).
The Japanese Yen is currently very low compared to many international currencies. It has lost more 25% of its value compared to the CAD over the past 5 years. This watch is in very good condition showing little signs of use except on the generic strap. Bell & Ross still feature this model on their website where it is priced at $3,100.00 CAD. Including our 1-year complimentary warranty this watch is estate priced at $1,950.00 CAD. Stock #501-00347.
Estate earrings are great sellers and customer favorites. Our newest estate pair are these Huggie designs shaped like the letter J. They operate with an always lined up interference post that securely locks into the backside hinged section. No chance of losing a butterfly friction back with these, or losing the entire earrings. When you hear the audible click, you know they are secure and not going anywhere. These ones measure 18mm tall and 6.2mm wide with a little bit of a waist in the middle section.
They feature 6 small round diamonds (0.03 carats total weight SI-IJ) that have been bead set into mirror image corners with bright white rhoium plating for contrast against the yellow gold.
The earrings display a soft brushed finish that doesn’t show well in our pictures. This subtle finish can be enhanced in a few minutes or completely polished away by one of our onsite goldsmiths while you wait. We love the substantial feel of this pair weighing in at over 5.4 grams. They have been made with upgraded 14 karat yellow gold. With the high price of gold these days you don’t see Huggie style earrings too often and when you do they are hollowed out to keep the weight down.
This modern set is in excellent condition with a tight hinge and no signs of wear and tear. Shop them around; 14 karat cast huggie earrings, 5.4 grams, hand set with 6 small diamonds. They offer excellent value for the estate price of $1,020.00 CAD. Stock #151-00371.

Classic vintage good looks never grow old. This is a watch that looks like it came off the wrist of a rally car driver from the 1960s. At that time the Heuer Carrera was the watch to have. I’m sure much of this Hamilton Intra-Matic design was partially inspired from those marvellous Carreras.
The “panda” dial is especially handsome making the modern 40mm case size even more functional. Some of our favorite estate watches from many years ago featured panda dials. Talk about sellers remorse, I wish we still has these classic Pandas.
The black tachymeter scale has numbers large enough that even 40 to 50 years old eyes can interpret.
Modern manufacturing and materials make the Hamilton Intra-Matic a much more capable performer while maintaining the vintage appeal.
Fully automatic movement means no manual winding every day. A sapphire crystal can ward off almost any impact compared to the original plastic crystals from the 60s. The Hamilton also comes with a 10 bar (300 feet) water resistance rating thanks to its threaded crown and case back.
This watch was purchased in the summer of 2024 and was only lightly worn with almost all the wear limited the the signed buckle.
The watch remains original and unpolished. The parchment backside of the original black strap looks unworn. Included with the watch is the 5-year Hamilton warranty that expires in July of 2029. It was purchased at an Ontario authorized agent and comes complete with all documents, packaging, and even the original bill of sale. This watch is a current model that can be seen on the Hamilton website where it retails at $3,210.00 CAD. Our excellent condition estate example is priced at $2,100.00 CAD. Stock number 501-00393.

30 years ago the average sized diamond we’d sell as an engagement ring was somewhere between 0.33 to 0.50 carat. Today the average size 2.00 carats or larger, but 90% of those are inexpensive lab-grown diamonds. Most younger customers are opting for cheaper manufactured diamonds that cost only a few percent of what a natural does. Our newest estate showcased item is this delicate natural diamond ring that would have been considered large only 3 decades ago. The petite 14 karat white gold ring is the epitome of classic design. Just a simple shank measuring only 1.9mm wide.
Secured in a basic double gallery setting is a square modified brilliant cut diamond commonly referred to as a “princess cut”. This diamond is a high quality VS2-G with a very good cut. It is almost perfectly square with measurements of 4.83mm x 4.82mm and a depth of 3.50mm. It has a GIA report confirming the quality, dimensions, and natural origin. The flat edge ring measures a finger size 5 and can be adjusted up or down as required. This timeless solitaire design can be paired with almost any wedding or anniversary ring as long as it has a flat edge.

The futuristic appearance of the Tag Heuer Kirium is surely get noticed. This oddity was a bold design exercise for Tag Heuer and looks like nothing before of after. The conservative nature of the Swiss watchmaking industry is more about evolution than revolution. Many classic brands and models look the same today as they did decades ago.
The rounded bubble design concept of the Kirium extends into the bracelet with a subtle curved profile, a domed lab-grown sapphire crystal flows gently into the rounded bezel, the notches for grasping the one way timer are semi-circular cut outs. The luminous glowing hour markers are domed, and even the Arabic 12/6 o’clock markers have a curved profile to them.
A lot of thought was given to the aesthetic of these uncommon models. There isn’t a sharp edge or corner anywhere to be found. It pairs perfectly with our new circular shell travel cases.
When we were authorized agents for Tag Heuer in the 1990s and 2000s, the Kirium sold okay but were never really that popular. Today they are rarities and seldom show up in our estate department. This one is pushing 25 years old and has remained in original condition.
The circular details are easy to refinish on this model, but we’re happy to report the previous owner resisted the temptation to polish the scuffs and small scratches that accumulate over time. The solid link bracelet is very tight showing little wear and is secured with integrated flip lock clasp.
The 3 hand high precision quartz movement is functioning flawlessly and features a useful calendar. A thread crown and threaded case back provide a water resistance rating of 200 meters.
Funky looks but this is still a serious Tag Heuer watch that can handle anything asked of it. Included with purchase is the original packaging, documents and endorsed warranty card plus our complimentary 1 year warranty. Estate priced at $900.00 CAD. Stock #520-00160.

Natural diamonds aren’t going anywhere, they are among the oldest objects on earth dating back 3 to 4 billion years ago. Lab-grown diamonds have only been widely available for the last 10 years or so. The knowledge to produce them comes from the 1950s when General Electric was able to make some poor quality diamond crystals. 70 years ago the technology to produce lab-grown diamonds cost far more than mining natural diamonds. Technology always gets cheaper and more accessible over time. Today, high quality lab-grown diamonds can be found for only around 1%-2% of the cost of the natural equivalent. They are being grown in China in factories covering hundreds of thousands of square feet. Our database of lab-grown diamonds shows close to 800,000 are available with more on the way everyday. We can sell you a beautiful 2.00 carat round lab-grown diamond of exceptional VVS1-E quality for only $1,000.00 USD or less!
The same quality for an earth grown natural diamond is priced closer to $45,000.00 USD. Our latest estate ring is not a 2.00 carat VVS1-E, but it is a 100% natural diamond that is around 3 billion years old and weighs a significant 1.40 carats. Its clarity is a nice SI1 with a L colour.
The cut is very good and it displays medium blue fluorescence when exposed to long wave ultraviolet light.
You’d never see a modern lab-grown diamond that exhibits a slightly warmer colour, and no lab-grown diamond would glow like this under longwave ultraviolet light. Our natural diamond has been set in a classic 4 prong white gold setting with a 4mm wide “Tulip” shank.
The sturdy size 6 1/2 ring weighs 4.7 grams and can be adjusted up or down as required. It is in excellent condition and looks like new after a professional polishing and cleaning.
It is accompanied by a 2010 Appraisal Report from Gem Lab Toronto suggesting a retail replacement value (at the time) of $14,350.00 plus tax.
There is no denying the fact that lab-grown diamonds have brought the price of natural diamonds down. It is also true that natural diamonds have a cost that can’t drop below the cost to find, mine, and cut them. Who knows where the diamond business is heading but we believe there will always be a market for the miracle of natural diamonds when presented accurately. Our estate jewellery offers some great opportunities without compromising the tradition and desire for an earth grown diamond. This beautiful diamond is estate priced at only $3,250.00 CAD.

We tend to showcase classic styles, vintage, and antique jewellery, but we also have some modern contemporary designs in our estate department. This practically unworn, modern abstract garnet and diamond ring offers and attractive yet unconventional look. Low bezel and channel settings protect the stones and are in keeping with the flowing lines.
The six natural diamonds and estimated to weight 0.20 carat total weight and are a better than expected SI-I quality. The garnet displays the classic rich brownish red hue but is cut in an unusual triangular faceted shape. Crafted from 14 karat white gold in a size 8, the ring weighs in at a sturdy 5 grams.
It looks like new old stock, the bright white rhodium finish is in perfect shape, showing only some light scuffs on the shank bottom. Whether you have a birthday in January or simply appreciate the beautiful contrast of almandite garnet in white gold with bright diamonds, this ring offers a fun casual look for everyday wear. Estate priced at $1,000.00 CAD. Stock #206-00309.
When the Rolex Submariner debuted in 1953 it was regarded strictly as a highly functional “tool” type watch. Made to accomplish a few specific tasks under some very harsh conditions. It was the first watch waterproof to a depth of 100 meters, now they are rated to 300 meters.
The rotating bezel made it possible to quickly calculate elapsed time. It was never designed to win any beauty contests. A few decades later a calendar appeared on the watch adding an obvious and handy feature. Shortly after that a solid gold model became available. In 1984 the first steel and gold combination added a new more affordable “jewellery” version.
Model 11613 came out in the late 1980s and featured the then new Rolex caliber 3135 movement that powered submariners for the next 25 years. This movement is considered one of the most durable and reliable available. An almost 50 hour power reserve is longer than many automatic watches even today. Retired from production in 2009 has made the 16613 just a little more desirable. Replacement model 126613 has grown a touch to 41mm diameter but now comes with a ceramic bezel insert, updated case and bracelet but still has the familiar look that was established decades ago. A brand new 126613LN will also run you $22,250.00. This example dates from 1991 and includes the original box with endorsed warranty papers.
These are showing up less and less as collectors are beginning to take good examples off the market. A full technical revision was performed on the watch in 2016 including an replacing the factory crystal, crystal gasket, case gasket, bezel insert, vacuum and pressure testing. Overall condition is very good, the bracelet shows very little sag or stretch.
The watch has been carefully and respectfully polished, the four lugs are still thick and display a nice crisp beveled edge that often is missing on overly polished cases.
You would never guess looking at the condition that this watch was made 34 years ago.
Comes complete with original box and paperwork. Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers complimentary 1 year warranty is included for the estate price of $15,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00606.

This beautifully simple pendant came to us a few years ago in the form of an antique stickpin. It sat around in a box of future projects on my desk few several years. As a pretty as the antique stick pin was, it didn’t have much of a market or contemporary purpose. It was too attractive to recycle for parts, but not valuable enough to reset the parts into a new custom piece. So we simply cut off most of the wire pin, bent the remainder into a loop, soldered it closed and viola we have transformed it into a fantastic and stylish pendant. The pendant portion is at least 100 years old because the white sections holding the two natural diamonds are made from silver; white gold wasn’t invented until the early 1900s. The rest of the delicate yellow gold pendant was tested and found to be 18 karat.
We’re pretty sure the cornflower blue sapphire is an early lab-grown example as we can’t see any internal inclusions that look natural. Lab-grown diamonds are fairly new to the commercial market but lab-grown rubies and sapphires have been around for well over 100 years. Simple bezel settings with milgrain edges are a classic antique detail and it’s hard to go wrong with any three stone design. The two antique European cut diamonds measure around 2.4mm diameter, weigh around 0.05 carats each and are of SI-IJ quality.
A contemporary 16 inch 10 karat white gold chain easily slides through the newly created pendant bail without obstruction. Combining the old with new and repurposing is something we love to do at Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers. This isn’t an expensive item, but it will make a flattering statement for the next owner. This newly created antique pendant is ready to be proudly worn for the next 100 years and is estate priced at $350.00 CAD. Stock number 161-00379.

Omega are known for producing many limited edition watches; to the point that they sometimes don’t seem all that special. Here is a limited edition that came out with little fanfare but is notable none the less. Omega produced just 1948 of these limited edition Seamasters to mark the 70th anniversary of one of their most popular models.
The original Seamaster was itself a commemorative model marking the 100th anniversary of Omega. This watch stays quite true to the very first generation of Seamasters but is manufactured with modern materials and most evolved master chronometer movement in Omega’s line up. The only outwardly obvious difference is the case size is a more modern 38mm diameter compared to the originals that are closer to 34mm. The old style logo found on the dial, crown, and buckle is an accurate duplicate to the first generation as is the arrow shaped and Arabic 3,6,9,12 hour markers.

The tapered hands with luminous stripes always looked a little short in my opinion, still look a little short to me on the limited edition version. The domed crystal on the new version is made of optically perfect and super hard sapphire where the original was made from soft plastic. Omega even went to the trouble of etching the vintage logo in the centre of the sapphire crystal in the same manner as the plastic. The silver dial has a subtle turned down edge and discreet minute track as the original.
The movement inside is far more complicated and accurate compared to what Omega supplied in the late 1940s. The in-house manufactured 35 jewel calibre 8806 qualifies to master chronometer accuracy levels. Omega has thrown down the gauntlet with the introduction of the 35 jewel in-house developed calibre 8806 Master Chronometer movement. This automatic winding masterpiece is certified by the Swiss Federal Office of Metrology (METAS). The testing goes above and beyond the typical COSC chronometer standards. METAS requires all the movements to already be COSC certified but also be stable when exposed to magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss. The accuracy requirements are also tighter than COSC. A final test confirming the manufacturer’s water resistance rating (200 feet in this case) is conducted on the complete watch with movement. The beautiful automatic winding calibre is visible through a decorated sapphire display back window.
It has a long power reserve of 55 hours and the hairspring is made from completely non-magnetic silicon. Our example is number 199 out of only 1948 produced for the international market. It comes complete with 3 factory supplied straps and a tool to help swap them out.
The fully endorsed warranty from a Canadian Authorized Agent is dated June 19, 2019.
The fancy faux leather box serves as a display with a magnet stand (both embossed with the vintage Omega logo).
A limited edition certificate, instructions, foam liner, and outer box complete this package. The watch remains in 100% original condition. It displays some scuffs and scratches from a few years of occasional use.
We’ve opted to leave it in original condition. The highly polished lugs can easily be polished by one of our onsite goldsmiths while you wait, if you want it tidied up to look like new. Including our complimentary 1-year warranty, this rare Omega is estate priced at $7,500.00 CAD. Stock #510-00195.
When people ask us if we sell “fractional gold bullion”, I don’t think they mean this sort of thing. Fractional bullion typically refers to a smaller amount than the traditional 1 ounce weight. 1 gram, 10 gram, 1/10 ounce, 1/4 ounce etc. are considered fractional and usually sell for larger premiums than 1 0unce or larger gold coin or bars. With gold prices of over $5,900.00 Canadian right now, there is more demand for smaller more affordable portions of gold bullion. Our smaller gold bullion coins and bars often sell to our regular walk in customers before we have an opportunity to even post them on our website. Our latest “fractional” gold item is this 9999 Johnson Matthey bar that once weighted 1 troy ounce (31.1 grams). After it was bisected into not so even parts, this portion ended up weighing 13.568 grams or 0.436 troy ounces.
It came from a jewellery colleague who was retiring and no longer needed the remainder for manufacturing custom jewellery. It may not be a traditional weight anymore but that doesn’t change the fact that it contains exactly $2,578.30 CAD worth of pure gold at this moment in time (5:00pm Oct. 15, 2025). 20 years ago this amount of gold cost only $280.00 CAD. If only we had invested in gold back then. Who knows what the price of gold will be over the next 20 years, but chances are gold will still be a relevant place to store some wealth. For 1000s of years gold has a welcome means of payment for goods and services anywhere in the world that had any sort of economy. It can be used to pay off almost any debt or it can be stored as protection from inflation that decreases the buying power of paper currency. This is an unusual amount of gold for us to sell, so we’ve decided to let it go for only the value of gold it contains, no extra premiums of any kind. Credit card purchase will be charged a 2% fee to cover the fees charged to us from VISA or MasterCard. For an up to the minute price of gold click here. Stock number 912-00721.

Have you checked out the pricing lately of a good used Rolex Daytona or Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch? These watches have been appreciating faster than the recent real estate markets. Finding a classic Swiss chronograph without spending a fortune is getting more difficult all the time.
A weak Canadian dollar is adding to pricing pressures too. The Tag Heuer Carrera CV2011-0 is a watch that offers a classic, purposeful, sporting look without the sky high pricing. The Carrera was introduced in the mid 1960s and was arguably more popular than the benchmark Rolex Daytona of the period. It was standard equipment on many wrists of automotive sports participants, especially in rally car racing. Even today the Carrera looks the same as it did over half a century ago.
Instead of a manual winding 17 jewel movement, the modern Carrera chronograph is equipped with a 25 jewel automatic Swiss made mechanism with a 12 hour chronograph and calendar (something the original lacked). This example is old enough to feature an original Tag Heuer modified Valjoux 7750 movement, which is visible through the display case back.
It’s a reasonably sized watch with a case diameter of 41.5mm. The silver dial with silver chrono registers forms a classic sophisticated look, especially with the ghost grey tachymetre bezel. Our latest Carrera comes with the original solid stainless steel bracelet with a locking buckle.
If you ever decide you want to go all in for a Daytona or Moonwatch, Carreras like this are always welcomed back as trade-ins. Our example is in good condition. The previous owner wore most of the time and it is showing scratches on the case and bracelet. The bezel insert’s edge and bezel frame have some abrasions and impact marks around the circumference.
Showing some areas of wear and tear, but it’s the honest patina that comes from an enjoyable wearing experience by the previous owner. This watch was originally purchased in Canada and comes with the original packaging, documents, and endorsed (not dated) warranty card. Comes with a complimentary 1 year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty, the watch is estate priced at $2,400.00 CAD. Stock #520-00078.
Mabe pearls or blister pearls are the same as cultured pearls except the nucleus is a semi-circle mother of pearl half bead that is epoxied to the inside the shell of the mollusk. The mollusk instinctually begins to cover this foreign object with a protective nacre. When the pearl is harvested they can be cut in a perfect circular outline or in an abstract shape that incorporates more of the inner shell surface. The possible shapes are quite varied and make perfect canvas’ for the abstract artist/jeweller.
This double mabe pearl pendant showcases two excellent quality pearls that measure more than 14mm diameter. They both display top quality luster showing a rainbow dispersion of subtle pastel colours. The abstract concave oval pendant measures 48mm (without bail) x 23mm.
The expertly crafted bezel follows the outline and contour perfectly in a complicated frame that varies in height around the entire circumference. Six small single cut diamonds provide a small touch of sparkle against the rainbow background. A hinged bail at the top can be used on a variety of chain sizes. It is equipped with a hinge and safety clasp that also allow this one of a kind pendant to be worn on a pearl or other bead style necklace.
The pendant is in like new condition looking unworn. It weighs 14.4 grams and is estate priced at $1,400.00 CAD. Stock #231-00278.
Start your mini silver hoard with these Johnson Matthey bars. They remain sealed in plastic with 3 of the 5 showing consecutive serial numbers. Silver is on move along with gold but silver is only around 40% higher than its 1980 value, compared to gold at around 460% higher compared to where is was in 1980. The current gold to silver ration of around 80:1 which is very wide compared to historical averages, many believe this differential should be closer to 40, 30, or even 20:1 leaving lots of room for higher silver prices.

“If you don’t know jewellery, know your jeweller”. We are 100% confident the first owners of these rubies were unaware they were buying a “composite” ruby. Composite rubies are plentiful in the market and have been around since the mid 2000s.
Many jewellers and even Gemologists have failed to recognize these assembled stones as they trade hands over the years. Composite ruby are made from low quality natural corundum fused together with high lead content red glass to resemble good to fine quality natural ruby. Where a nice natural 2 carat ruby can easily cost many thousands of dollars per carat, these composite ruby can be had for only $10.00 to $20.00 per carat! The 2.44 carat faceted ruby comes with a 2004 appraisal suggesting a U.S.D. retail price of $3,000.00 for the stone alone!
When fully disclosed we have no problem with these gems as they offer a great look for very little cost. The problem arises when they are purchased without knowledge of this treatment and even worse when supported with appraisal documents, reports, or certificates that do not describe the ruby as altered, treated, or assembled with high lead content glass. They are pretty and look very convincing but hold next to no value.
Our two featured composite ruby rings are both traditional 3 stone designs with natural diamonds in 14 karat white gold and 18 karat yellow gold. We have priced these estate rings for their gold and diamond content plus manufacturing cost, but added zero for the composite ruby in each one. They are both well made and in excellent condition showing little to no wear; the bright rhodium plating is untouched on the white gold example. The yellow gold ring is made from 4.5 grams of premium 18 karat gold (5.5 grams gross weight) containing two natural 0.33 carat round brilliant cut diamonds of I1-LM quality.
They are both a size seven and can be adjusted up or down a few finger sizes if needed. Both come with accurate 2024 appraisals from Harold Weinstein Ltd. Toronto.
Please be an informed jewellery customer and shop only with jewellers who have knowledge of such gems and will stand behind their products. Stock numbers 206-00622 and 206-00551.
Where will the Canadian diamond industry be in the next few years? We can be proud of our ethically sourced Canadian diamonds. Canadian diamond mines have been producing some of the world’s finest for more than 25 years. With the higher costs involved with mining in the Canadian far north and pricing pressure from infinitely cheaper lab-grown diamond the days of Canadian diamond mines may be numbered.
This short YouTube video by Mel Moss from Canadian diamond wholesale company Regal Imports outlines the current challenges facing the Canadian diamond industry. Our latest estate ring features a beautiful 0.65 carat round brilliant cut Canadian diamond of sparkling SI2-I with a very good to excellent cut.
The centrepiece diamond is low and out of the way secured in a semi-bezel wrap around setting embellished with 61 small round brilliant cut diamonds. 61 tiny accent diamonds are expertly bead set down the shoulders of the engagement and wedding ring.
The small diamonds contribute to an estimated total diamond weight of 1.36 carat. This ring set has been crafted from blushing 14 karat rose gold with a touch of white rhodium enhancement for contrast. The set weighs a substantial 7.2 grams and has no hollowed out or thin sections. Canadian centre diamond has been laser engraved with the image of a maple leaf and a unique serial number identifying its Canadian origin.
It was originally purchased a Canadian jewellery store Ben Moss and looks as if it has never been worn. Measuring a 6 1/2 it can easily be made larger or smaller by up to 2 sizes. The set comes with an 2023 appraisal from Ontario Gemmological Service of London Ontario. It accurately describes the rings, diamonds and quality, although the price of gold has more than doubled since this report was printed in August of 2023. Our estate price for this like new engagement/wedding ring set is $3,180.00 CAD. Stock #101-00609.

From boutique manufacturer Ebel comes their most popular model, the Classic Sport Wave. It’s certainly not a Rolex, Breitling or Tag Heuer; this is a sophisticated design that is above all else comfortable and practical, with a unique luxury look. At 23.5mm diameter it’s made for a woman who isn’t looking for a large “statement” watch. The slim profile stainless steel case measures just 6.8mm thick.
The thin case is partially achieved because this watch doesn’t have a removable back. No caseback means no thick screwed on or snap closed hatch for movement installation and service requirements; instead the super accurate Swiss quartz movement is installed from the front. The bezel, crystal, dial and complete electronic mechanism come out through the front for maintenance.
This ingenious design not only makes the watch thin it also means one fewer rubber gasket to fail. The bezel and its 5 locking screws are all made from highly polished stainless steel while the rest of the watch case has been treated to a flat brushed finish. The Classic Wave in both men’s and woman’s styles are still being made today. The contemporary design of this watch looks practically the same but now is offered in a larger 33mm version that comes with a $4,526.00 price tag. The beautiful natural mother of pearl dial displays a pastel palette of rainbow colours as the watch is moved.
It is further embellished with 10 diamond hour markers and Roman numerals at 12 and 6. The flexible wave link bracelet is one of the defining features of the watch. The segmented design is soft and contours to every wrist shape with a curved and integrated bi-fold buckle.
The polished trim sections are below the surface, protected from becoming scuffed and scratched from use. Our example is in very good condition showing minor scuffs and scratches from wear.
It has been freshly serviced with a new high capacity silver oxide battery. It is running perfectly and comes with our one year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty. Estate priced at $1,000.00 CAD. Stock 501-00411.

A few simple stars. Amazing how the stylists at Tiffany’s can capture the feel of the 1980s with a three star outline brooch. If you are old enough to remember the 80s you will recognize this style as an iconic symbol of that era. This is a rare brooch that I didn’t know existed until some research revealed its history. The 18 karat yellow gold brooch measures 42mm long and weighs 6.5 grams. The back has been stamped Tiffany & Co. 1986. This piece comes with that special little blue box too.

The beauty of the mechanical watch is best displayed in its purest form of simple time keeping with perhaps a calendar display. This watch doesn’t scream exotic, expensive, and complicated but it’s all of those things in subtle stainless steel on a leather strap. Omega has been one of the world’s great watch manufactures since the mid-1800s. They’ve made many millions of watches since then and always with great attention to detail. They produce sophisticated mechanical movements with reliable technology like no other. While not inexpensive, the economy of scale allows Omega watches to compete with Switzerland’s finest at a price point many can afford. The 39 jewel masterpiece housed within the 41mm case is a competent as any from the most exclusive boutique Swiss brands.
A complicated double mainspring barrel setup allows a long 60-hour power reserve while maintaining accuracy levels well under chronometer tolerances. The movement ticks away at an unusual 25,200 cycles per hour, compared to 28,800 cycles for most of Omega’s movements and pretty much the entire watch industry. Independent testing of the Master Chronometer movements goes much further than the standard COSC testing requirements. In short, each movement is tested in various positions while exposed to magnetic fields of 15,000 gauss and subject to extreme temperature variations.
In order to achieve the title of Master Chronometer the movement must keep time within zero to plus 5 seconds per day. Under regular conditions, many owners report an accuracy level of only just a few seconds per week. The beautiful movement is visible through the clear display back. The luxury finishes extend beyond the polished and satin finish case to the soft alligator strap with a locking deployment buckle.
The brown dial has a radial finish centre section with a circular edge containing beautifully faceted Roman numerals. Simple white text with an applied Omega dial completes the understated dial.
This watch was originally purchased through a Canadian authorized Omega agent for Christmas of 2016. It was only occasionally used since then and looks practically unworn. Only a few tiny scuffs can be seen on the stainless steel case. The leather strap also appears practically unworn.
The watch comes complete with the original instruction booklet, 3 cards with a fully endorsed warranty, foam-lined white outer cardboard box, an original wooden inner box, and the plastic product tag showing the serial number and original price of $7,550.00 CAD.
This watch is still available from Omega and can be seen on the corporate website with a current price of $7,900.00 CAD. We are happy to provide the next owner with a complimentary 1-year warranty with purchase. This like-new De Ville Master Chronometer is estate priced at $5,900.00 CAD. Stock #e14603 510-00047.
The popularity of cheap lab-grown diamonds has helped offset skyrocketing gold prices keeping the cost of new jewellery under control. Our vintage estate collection offers far better pricing than anything new plus the benefit of featuring natural diamonds that are typically set into higher quality and heavier settings. This pair of fancy drop earrings are a perfect example of the great value estate jewellery can offer. High quality meets low price with these sparkling drop earrings.
It’s hard to exactly date this vintage design but we feel they are around 50 years old. They were certainly made at a time when gold was trading for 1/10th of what is is selling for today. The illusion navette shaped settings in the halo frame and top section each contain a large single cut diamond with a significant centre round brilliant cut diamond in the centre weighing just shy of 0.30 carats. All 28 natural diamonds used in this glamourous pair of earrings are of SI-H quality. All totaled, the earrings contain an estimated 1.57 carats of natural diamonds.
The multiple jointed sections in each earring allow the separate components to independently swing with the slightest movement resulting in a cascade of sparkling brilliance. Long post backs with upgraded, sturdy friction backs secure each earring. They are in like new condition showing no wear of any kind. Estate priced at $3,100.00 CAD. Stock #151-00337.
We see our fair share of high quality estate jewellery pass through the estate department on a regular basis. Sometimes we get a very special, premium quality item to feature in our vintage spotlight. This pair of 18 karat white gold ruby and diamond earrings certainly qualify as premium. In this era of $5,400.00 per ounce gold, seeing anything made from 75% pure gold 18 karat is quite uncommon. Seeing a pair of earrings crafted from 11 grams of 18 karat is almost unheard of these days.
The gold content alone in this pair is worth over $1,400.00. The plump oval natural rubies exhibit a rich red colour with a slight purplish hue. In person they appear more red than these pictures illustrate. I like to say, the finest ruby have a colour like red Jell-O or a red Lifesaver candy, and these are not too far from that. The are tightly set in three sections separated with four seams of bead set brilliant cut diamonds providing some contrast and sparkle.
The 80 tiny diamonds are estimated to weigh 0.40 carats and are of SI-HI quality. The half hoop design measures 3/4 of an inch in length. They are thankfully secured by spring loaded “Omega” backs that provide excellent security and distribute the weight across the earlobe better than a simple friction back/post combination.
They are in like new condition looking unworn, there is not even a corner or edge where the white rhodium finish is wearing thin. It isn’t a stretch to say that duplicating this set would cost more than $10,000.00 if you wanted to create something of the same quality. This spectacular pair of estate ruby and diamond earrings is estate priced at $4,000.00 CAD. Stock #211-00236.

We’re seeing plenty of “alternative” materials for use in wedding bands these days. The options for rings include, tungsten, cobalt, stainless steel, titanium, ceramic, various forms of carbon, and rubber; you can even have a wedding ring tattooed on your finger. Call us traditional but all these fill-ins leave us a little cold, there is a special feeling about a quality wedding ring made from high karat gold or platinum. Tungsten comes close in the “feel” of weighty gold and platinum but it can’t be sized and will never develop the soft grey/white patina of platinum and it will certainly never possess the rich yellow glow of 18 karat yellow gold.
Brands like Cartier and Tiffany have always offered plain wedding rings to those who cherish the classic looks of a rounded profile wedding ring.

When the Tudor North Flag debuted, it was a game changer for the brand that has always lived in the shadows of its parent company Rolex. I can’t believe it has been more than 10 years since the Tudor in-house developed MT5621 movement debuted in the North Flag. Perhaps it was by necessity that Tudor was forced to develop their our mechanisms. Rival company The Swatch Group had supplied movements for Tudor from their ETA movement division for decades.
There are obvious commercial disadvantages when the competition supplies the single most important component for your products. With the vast resources of parent company Rolex behind them, Tudor created a movement without rivals at this price point. This is the first certified chronometer from Tudor. The chronometer designation is the Swiss benchmark for accuracy, usually associated with much more expensive watches than what Tudor usually offers. When initially offered this watch had a Canadian retail price of only $3,980.00 CAD. For under $4,000.00 there isn’t another watch with this technology. The 28 jewel MT5621 mechanism offers a long 70-hour power reserve, a silicon hairspring that is unaffected by strong magnetic fields, a power reserve display, a 31-day calendar, and a beautiful pierced rotor that displays sandblasted plates and bridges.
The movement is both supremely functional and pretty to look at too. Tudor must clearly be proud of their achievement as they have also equipped the North Flag with a transparent display case-back, a feature you normally never see with Rolex/Tudor products. The threaded case-back and threaded crown allow a water resistance rating of 100 meters.
The 40mm case wears a little bigger than the size suggests, it lacks a thick bezel that makes the matt finish dial appear a little larger. The dial is nicely balanced with large luminous hour markers (Arabic 12/6), a date display in the 3:00 position, and the 70-hour power reserve display at 9:00.
This example is a very early model as it was delivered to the original owner in the fall of 2015. It comes fully documented with the original bill of sale, fully endorsed warranty card, instructions, document holder, inner/outer boxes, and a white cardboard sleeve. The watch comes with a high quality aftermarket TSS black leather strap with yellow stitching than blends well with the yellow accents on the dial.
This watch may be 10 old but looks like it’s only a year old. The previous owner was very careful wearing this was in rotation with others in his collection. It remains in its original condition, it has not been refinished or polished in any way. There are minor scuffs, scratches, and minor on the bracelet/buckle, but the case is in very good condition despite its sharp lug edges.
Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers is happy to include a complimentary 1-year warranty for the next owner. This watch is estate priced at $4,500.00 CAD. Stock #505-00266.
Another rare and interesting Tudor Oyster-Prince. Determining an accurate age for early Tudor watches is somewhat difficult. After researching this one we feel it could possibly be as early as 1952 and as late as 1955 according to the clearly visible serial number.
Rolex doesn’t release such information but we are confident this one is of early/mid 1950s construction. We like this one because of the rare engine turned/faceted bezel.
Most Tudor Oyster-Prince models came with just a simple smooth bezel. We also feel this one hasn’t been polished before as the edges are sharp and crisp, but the flat surfaces display numerous scratches from decades of wear.
Our master watchmaker performed a full overhaul to the 17 jewel automatic movement in October 2023 and has it running very well for a watch approaching 70 years of age.
Calibre 390 is the same movement found in some very expensive and collectable Tudor Submariners from the 1950s. We also love the 19mm tapered 12 link Rolex 7835-257 Oyster bracelet on this watch.
While the bracelet isn’t original to the watch, it is a genuine service replacement from Rolex. The buckle is dated from 1970 and still displays the Rolex coronet logo in very good relief.
These bracelets themselves are quite scarce and are usually priced over $1,000.00.
Someone out there has an old Tudor Submariner with a rusty mechanism who’d love to get their hands on a freshly serviced calibre 390.
Parted out the movement and bracelet alone are likely worth more than the entire watch to the right person. We are happy to supply the next owner with a complimentary 1-year warranty. This rare Tudor is estate price at $2,800.00 CAD. Stock #505-00465.
The fashion police may not agree but I like two-tone gold, especially when it has contrasting finishes. This 14 karat white and yellow gold flat band measures 5.5mm wide with a finger size of 6. It could be used as a funky wedding ring or just a cool ring to wear. The wave design is highly polished yellow gold on one side with flat brushed finish white gold on the other. Weighing 4.4 grams the ring is estate priced at $540.00. Stock #401-00105 e7625.

Is this the retro masterpiece you’ve been looking for or a remount candidate? We love its retro 90s looks just the way it is, but we’d be equally happy using any or all of these natural diamonds to create a modern piece of jewellery just for you. Fancy shaped diamonds like this marquise are back in demand just like they were in the 1990s. That giant marquise cut diamond Selena Gomez received as an engagement ring in December 2024 certainly didn’t hurt the interest in alternative diamond shapes.
There are more than enough diamonds in our latest estate ring to duplicate the Selena ring, albeit on a slightly more modest scale. The centrepiece of our ring is a slender marquise with a flattering length to width ratio of 2.1:1. The actual dimensions of this diamond are 10.9mm x 5.2mm making this slim diamond appear far larger than our estimated weight of 1.00 carat.
We have graded this natural diamond a very conservative I1 clarity with a H/I colour. The 18 tapered, graduated, channel set baguette cut diamonds add 0.36 carats with an additional 0.72 carats of round brilliant cut diamonds contributing to our estimated total weight of 2.08 carats. The small accent stones in this textbook example of 90s awesomeness are SI1 to I1 clarity with H/I colour. This is a ring that was made in a different era, a time when gold only cost around $500.00 per ounce. You don’t see many rings today that weigh anywhere near 11 grams and measure 16.3mm like this one.
In fact; just the scrap value of gold in this ring at todays gold price (Sept. 27, 2025) is over $1,100.00. Purchasing just the centre diamond and recycling/reusing the gold is an opportunity and a good buy, but keeping it intact and original represents an outstanding jewellery value.
It measures a finger size 7 and can be adjusted up or down as required. It is in excellent condition showing no wear on the white gold prongs or yellow gold channels. It is estate priced at only $3,250.00 CAD. Stock #101-00587.

Vintage looks are popular and when you’ve been around since 1860 there’s a lot of history to draw inspiration from. The Autavia CY2111 is a retro inspired watch that owes much of its style to a watch introduced by Heuer in the late 1960s. 55 years later what’s old is new again with this fitting tribute to the original. From the bracelet and case shape to the left hand crown this watch looks like it could have been on the wrist of a 1960s racing driver. Even the black white and orange dial colours, hands, and hour markers are properly period correct derived. As a concession to modern convenience and durability, new low profile square pusher chronograph controls aren’t as prone to damage as the original round pushers.
A synthetic sapphire crystal replaces the original easily scratched plastic version. Our latest estate example is in 100% original condition showing no signs of polishing or refinishing. There are some scratches on the bracelet and a few small impact marks on the sharper edges, but by and large, it presents very well.
At 43mm wide it is on the large size but it’s not cumbersome. The left hand crown combined with the gently rounded case makes for a surprisingly comfortable watch even for those who don’t have a large wrist. The flat black dial with highly polished, faceted hands and hour markers make for a very easy to read face with some sparkly bling.
The automatic winding movement is working like new after a full overhaul by our master watchmaker. It is keeping great time with the chronograph and calendar functioning as designed. The electronic timing report (Sept. 22, 2025) shows it is running better than expected for a non-chronometer rated movement. The watch also passed our vacuum and pressure testing, reports included.
Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers’ complimentary one-year warranty comes included in the estate price of $4,000.00 CAD. Stock #520-00018.

This posting is for a very good customer who is interested in early 20th century jewellery (especially bracelets). Antique bracelets don’t turn up around here very often, but when they do they always turn heads in our showcase. By modern description this one qualifies as a tennis bracelet but 100 years ago they were simple known as an inline bracelet. This example is quite unusual because if features lighter tone rhodolite garnets. This variety of garnet is less common than the typical dark brownish/red almandine garnets usually seen in modern jewellery. When you see rhodolite garnets they are most often a more saturated purple colour. These ones are a very attractive light pinkish purple.
They are nicely matched in hand made 14 karat white gold settings. It would have been quite a task coming up with 30 nicely matching pink garnets that are graduated in size from 8.0mm x 5.4mm to 4.9mm x 4.0mm. It is an almost impossible to be 100% correct estimating the total gem weight of these exotic garnets, but we’ve calculated it to be approximately 20 carats. Overall condition is very good, the bracelet shows very little wear in the hinged joints and the garnets are scratch free.
The optical properties of garnet make is more reflective than almost any other coloured stone, resulting in a sparkle better than sapphires, rubies, or emeralds. They are reasonably hard, will not fade, and are tough enough for ultrasonic cleaning. The specific gravity of garnet is quite high making this bracelet a little bit heavier than you’d expect, feeling great on the wrist. A plunger clasp is nicely integrated into setting and protected further with a thin safety chain that appears to be made of sterling silver.
This hand made bracelet is a one of a kind item that would be very difficult to duplicate at any price. Our estate price for this antique tennis bracelet is $2,000.00 CAD. Stock #241-00100.

If there is one design era that is almost universally admired it has to be the Art Deco period from the 1920s and 30s. More times than not when this style of Art Deco diamond ring comes to us, it has been worn by two or three generations and is too worn out for anyone else. Delicate filigree 18 karat construction of these rings is quite durable but doesn’t last forever.
Continuous wear against a wedding ring can undercut the thin wire galleries. Repeated size adjustments up and down can stress the thin shanks causing fine cracks to develop over the decades. While this ring shows some softening of the antique milgrain and filigree it retains much of its originality and intricate detail. It doesn’t appear to have ever been sized before, and there is no solder contamination from previous repairs.
It may already be over 100 years old, but this example has many more decades ahead of it if worn with some degree of consciousness. At just shy of 2.5 grams it isn’t very heavy but these old 18 karat white gold alloys are quite hard and stand up well over the years. Bead set at the centre of the design is the original old European cut diamond that has been calculated to weigh 0.28 carats of SI1-I quality.
Compared to the giant lab-grown diamonds we’re selling these days, this one is quite petite, but 100 years ago hardly anyone had a diamond of any size, likely only had a thin gold wedding ring. This would have been considered pretty significant. Over 100 later this antique ring looks perfectly proportioned and beautiful. For someone looking for something different or anyone who loves these old engagement rings, this is great example of classic Art Deco. It is estate priced at $1,020.00 CAD. Stock #131-00235.

It was bound to happen and here it is; our first example of a mixed natural diamond/lab-grown diamond ring. This was once an all natural diamond ring that contained a 2.02 carat internally flawless, D colour natural diamond with a GIA report.
We had a customer looking for such a diamond but they wanted a different style ring. We sold the centre diamond and made them a beautiful solitaire to showcase the exceptional natural oval diamond. This left us classic design, featuring tapered baguette shoulder natural diamonds of excellent VS-F quality, in a premium 18 karat white gold ring.

The 1930s saw the tail end of the Art Deco movement and the beginning of innovation in platinum. The invention of the oxyacetylene torch in 1903 with its impressive heat output, allowed jewellers to manipulate platinum in ways they’d never been able to before. Platinum being so much tougher than gold meant jewellers were able to make pieces that were unbelievably delicate and airy without compromising strength. Meaning of course that pieces could be made much larger without much additional cost, which came in handy during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Brooches like ours (measuring 59.0mm long x 20.4mm wide) became the height of fashion and were used to add form and adornment to the loose, flowing dresses of the decade. The feature of our 4.2 gram platinum and 14 karat white gold piece is a bright 0.10 carat old European cut diamond shouldered by top quality, custom cut sapphires.

The legend of the Fujistubo (barnacle) goes something like this. In 1977 an automatic Citizen Challenge diver’s watch was lost to the Pacific ocean in Australia, seven years later it was found on a beach covered in barnacles. After the arthropods were chipped away from the case it was discovered the watch was still functional. A saltwater ocean beach is very hostile environment for any metallic object to survive, let alone a mechanical watch containing many delicate ferrous metal parts. Even a small amount of saltwater inside a mechanical watch can completely destroy it within a few days. Just this week we saw a Rolex Datejust rusted solid from saltwater; the only option for repair was a completely new movement costing over $5,000.00.
Our latest estate watch is this 2025 Citizen Promaster Diver NB6021 made from Citizen “Super Titanium”. This watch was inspired by the Citizen diver models from the 1970s. Is is powered by Citizen calibre 9051 24 jewel automatic winding mechanism. It has a industry standard 42 hour power reserve with accuracy expectations of around 10 seconds per day. It is a rugged performer with shock protection and a fast 28,800 beat per hour frequency. The lightweight case with soft rubber strap makes for a very comfortable timepiece weighing just 70 grams!
Low on price but high on value, this watch comes with top of the line features found on much more expensive brands. The thick lab-grown sapphire crystal is ultra hard and made with an inner curve and bevelled edge providing excellent optics and an interesting visual effect of splitting the ends of hour markers (see the first picture and glowing image).
Of course it has the diver bezel one way bezel indexed for 60 minutes. A threaded crown and case back insure a water resistance rating of 200 meters. Bright luminous pigment on the hands and markers glow as well as anything on the market.

Gold pushed past $5,000.00 per ounce Canadian earlier this week on September 8th for the first time in history. This is just another new high for gold as it continues its revaluation process amidst a world in turmoil. The trend for higher gold and silver prices looks to have momentum and move higher still. Surging precious metal pricing doesn’t mean there isn’t opportunity for good value if you’re buying jewellery. Our latest estate chain isn’t cheap but it does demonstrate excellent value once you learn how to recognize it.
It is made from solid links of 10 karat yellow gold (41.6% purity) and weighs 28.5 grams.

A simple pearl earring is an all time classic jewellery item, going from sophisticated to casual with just an outfit change. This amazing pair of pearl earrings takes it to an entirely new level. I think this is the best pair of pearl earrings we’ve ever offered in our estate department. Large South Sea pearls over 10mm diameter are far more scarce than the typical Japanese salt water pearls often used in better quality necklaces and earrings. South Sea pearls can take up to 4 years to form, and only around a third of the harvest is considered round in shape.
There are limited areas suitable for this type of pearl farming and they are quite environmentally sensitive. South Sea pearls are rare and valuable in larger sizes of good quality, we don’t see them very often. This well matched set measures 11.8 and 11.9mm diameter, they have a silvery white luster and are virtually blemish free.
The pearls have been 1/2 drilled and glued to an 18 karat gold post on the white gold settings. The brown material on the back of the pearl is not dirt but epoxy that has yellowed over the decades since it was assembled.
While it’s difficult to say exactly how old this pair is, we think they date sometime from the 1970s. They are surrounded by 28 round brilliant cut diamonds measuring just under 3mm, and have an estimated total weight of over 2.50 carats. The natural diamonds are tightly set using shared claws with minimal stone coverage promoting maximum sparkle from the high quality VS-H stones. Only the best components were selected when crafting these showstopping earrings. A generous amount of 18 karat white gold contributes to a finished weight of 10.8 grams. Thankfully the manufacturer selected a spring loaded “Omega” lever back design to secure them. This pierced ear system distributes the weight better than a simple post with butterfly back. The earrings are in excellent condition showing no wear are tear. Estate priced at $6,000.00 CAD. Stock #211-00163.
The Tag Heuer 4000 series was built like no other Tag before or since. This is a model that is often overlooked but is worth considering if you ever see one. It was well ahead of its time when it debuted close to 35 years ago. Despite the low profile of just 8.6mm, this is one tough watch.
It has solid bracelet end pieces instead of hollow stamped sections.
The solid ends are secured by solid bushed rivets, not hollow spring bars like most watches. Its solid stainless steel links are secured by more rivets, not split pins as found on other Tag Heuer watches from the same period. Even the folding/locking buckle is made from heavier gauge steel while still offering a diver’s extension.
The full length 18 link bracelet shows almost no sag and zero stretch. The coloured Tag Heuer logo splits down its middle when the bezel timer is rotated, this quirky feature unique to the 4000 series.
The original tritium hands and hour makers are fully intact showing no patina or discolouration. The tritium pigment still offers a bit of luminous qualities but is pretty much worn out after more than 30 years of continuous glowing. This is a remarkable example of a seldom encountered model. It measures a modest 34mm diameter and is suitable for a gentleman with a slim wrist or a lady. This picture is showing its size compared the popular 36mm Rolex Datejust.
It is in very good to excellent condition and remains 100% original and unpolished. Even the original screw-down crown is in excellent condition requiring one and a half full turns before popping out.
The sandblasted finish is fully intact with no sections of gold plating wearing thin. The classy champagne dial is perfect and blemish free. A high precision Swiss quartz movement inside the 200 meter water-resistant case is running strong and keeping great time. The 7 jewel ETA calibre 955.412 is equipped with a 31 day calendar and a low battery voltage warning system.
Finding any decent condition Tag Heuer 4000 is difficult, finding one with original inner/outer boxes, instructions, fully endorsed warranty card, and the original bill of sale is practically unheard of. The watch was purchased in Toronto Oct. 31, 1995 at E.H. Penny’s Fine Jewellery for $1,260.00 plus sales tax. Including our 1-year complimentary warranty this rare watch is estate price is $1,200.00 CAD. Stock #520-00143.

Bright fuchsia rubellite (pink tourmaline) have been our most popular coloured gemstone in our estate department for a few years now. We find that surprising as blue sapphire are typically the most requested gem, following by ruby and emerald. Maybe it’s the fact that few gems come with this sort of saturation of colour for a price that many people can afford. Finding this sort of colour intensity with sapphires, rubies, and emeralds would cost exponentially more than the rainbow of hues available in tourmaline.
This stone is alive with brilliant flashes of pink and purple, courtesy of the checkerboard fancy cushion cut. It measures almost exactly 9mm x 7mm and is estimated to weigh a nice tidy 2.00 carats. The centre rubellite is surrounded by a five segment scalloped edge pinwheel design setting. The five channel set sections contain 43 tapered baguette cut diamonds weighing an estimated 0.50 carats. The high quality VS-GH diamonds are well matched, and expertly set in protective channels. The overlapping design adds a soft finish to the explosion of colour and contrast with the rest of the ring.
It has been hand crafted in premium 18 karat white gold. The 4.9 gram ring measures a finger size 7 and can be adjusted up or down as necessary. Included with purchase is a 2004 appraisal from Ricci Fine Jewellery Toronto.
The centre tourmaline shows some minor abrasions on the facet junctions of the checkerboard crown but they go unnoticed except under close scrutiny. The rest of the ring is in very good condition showing no areas of wear except the rhodium plating getting thin in sections. A quick rhodium plate will give the 18 karat white gold a brilliant chrome white finish if you wish. This is a lot of colourful sparkle for the estate price of $1,980.00 CAD. Stock #206-00590.
Despite the immense variety of watches available, the vast majority can be classified into three categories: either manual wind, automatic or quartz. Manual wind watches are the oldest technology dating back to the first pocket watches. With manual wind watches, every day or two you must physically wind the mainspring to store the required energy to power the mechanism. Automatic watches run on mechanical energy generated by the movement of the wearer’s wrist which winds the mainspring and then slowly, predictably releases power to the hands. Automatic watches never need a battery— only the occasional service. The exceptionally well-tuned, high end, fully adjusted, automatic watch can keep time accurate time to +/- a few seconds per day. Quartz watches instead rely on a quartz crystal to keep time, which vibrates when an electric current is passed through it.
In most quartz watches, the crystal will vibrate exactly 32,768 times per second, which the watch can use to keep time to an accuracy of better than +/- 1 second a day. The downside of quartz watches is that they need a battery to power the circuitry and move the hands. The Grand Seiko “Spring Drive” movement takes the best aspects of a traditional manual wind watch with the accuracy of the finest quartz movement but without the need for a battery, capacitor, or any other electric storage system. Seiko’s “Tri-Synchro Regulator” technology is like nothing else. Like a manual watch, its power comes entirely from power stored in the mainspring that is very slowly released. However, instead of powering a traditional balance wheel through a series of gears to the hands; mechanical energy is used to power a tiny generator producing a continuous electric current. This current first powers a quartz crystal, keeping time much more precisely than any mechanical balance wheel oscillating over 4000 times slower ever could. The watch then compares the frequency of the quartz crystal with that of the spring drive glide wheel and uses the remaining current to apply a frictionless electromagnetic brake on the wheel to regulate its speed.
The brake keeps the wheel perpetually spinning at a precise rate as determined by the quartz crystal. No battery to replace, and no rechargeable capacitor to fail as with every other quartz watch including solar-powered watches. You get the best of both worlds: the accuracy of quartz watches with the convenience/reliability of old fashion hand wind. There truly is no other watch in the world that even comes close to this level of ingenuity.
Keeping the dial of the watch free from anything other than the most basic 3 hand timekeeping duties, this watch features a power reserve gauge visible through the transparent display back.
Our newest estate watch comes from a Canadian authorized Grand Seiko agent purchased in June 2020. The watch is in hardly worn condition. It was stored unworn from the initial purchase in June 2020.
It was then occasionally worn from May 2022 until December 2022 before finding its way to Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers. The only evidence of use are insignificant scuffs on the case and buckle that are only revealed under extreme scrutiny. There is a small impact mark on the bezel at the 5 minute position that can be seen with the naked eye.
The watch remains in its original unpolished condition. This is one of the rarest Spring Drive Grand Seikos with only 700 produced commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Seiko Spring Drive technology.
Unless you were sharp out of the gate and pre-ordered one of these, they were likely sold out before you ever knew they existed. These watches carried a CAD MSRP of $10,300.00. On the secondary market, used versions are selling for significantly more than the original price. It comes complete with inner/outer boxes, documents, and endorsed warranty papers.
The previous owner lost the white cardboard box sleeve and tan travel pouch after these images were taken. The watch is running perfectly and keeping better time than certified chronometer requirements. It remains under the Seiko warranty until June of 2023. Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers will provide a 1-year warranty extension for the new owner. We are thrilled to showcase only our 2nd Seiko Spring Drive for the estate price of $12,500.00 CAD.

Tag-Heuer have enjoyed a comfortable presence in the midmarket luxury segment of Swiss watchmaking seemingly forever. They are one of the most recognizable brands with a strong identity and association with motorsports and sporting lifestyles in general. In 2022 they introduced solar powered technology to the popular Aquaracer line of sports watches. The “Solargraph” features a new quartz mechanism co-developed with La Joux-Perret Manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Hidden behind the semitranslucent dial is a solar collector that can efficiently store a days worth of energy with just one minute of light exposure.
A full charge is achieved after 40 hours of light exposure that lasts 10 months. The clever design also features a power save mode. When not in the light the movement enters into a power conservation mode, once exposed to light again it comes back to life after about 10 seconds.
Tag Heuer say rechargeable power cell should be good for 15 years before needing replacing. That means this watch needs zero maintenance until the year 2040! This watch was given as a workplace presentation gift earlier this year. The recipient isn’t a “watch person” and was never going to wear it. It came to us in perfect unworn condition, still sporting some of its protective delivery stickers on the buckle and bracelet.
It measures a popular ladies size of 34mm diameter. The iridescent mother of pearl dial is very pretty offering a subtle display of rainbow colours as the watch is moved. This watch offers all of the regular Aquaracer diver/sports features including a 60 minute one way bezel timer, locking buckle with folding length adjustment link, threaded crown with guard, luminous hands and calendar display.
The watch is covered by the Tag-Heuer 2-year warranty that should be able to be extended to 5-years through Tag Heuer’s online registration portal. This model is a current offering on the Tag Heuer website where is retails for $3,250.00 CAD. Our never worn estate example is price $1,000.00 less at $2,250.00 CAD. Stock #520-00173.
We have many diamond anniversary estate rings in stock, but this one comes with a lot of extra no cost value. This one has been crafted using matching Canadian sourced natural diamonds. If that wasn’t enough, each diamond has a unique serial number along with a maple leaf logo confirming its Canadian identity.
The microscopic serial numbers have been permanently laser etched on the edge of each diamond. Keep in mind these diamonds only measure 2.1mm in diameter and the edge (girdle) of these little stones is likely only around 0.1mm thick. It’s amazing we have modern laser technology that can engrave at such a minute scale.
Without a good microscope you’d never know these diamonds were Canadian. The ring comes with a credit card sized certificate displaying each serial number. The 14 white gold ring measures a finger size 7 and can be adjusted up or down as needed. The flat edge makes it versatile enough to be worn on its own or with pretty much any other ring with a flat edge. Excellent condition and estate priced at $770.00 CAD. Stock #121-00276.

An absolute classic gent’s ring design that hasn’t changed in well over 100 years. It still looks good today and is available as an empty 14 karat gold setting without a diamond at Stuller.com for around $1,600.00. By the time you add a diamond measuring around 6.5mm diameter you could easily add at least a few thousand dollars more. Attractive ring with a curious name. Within the jewellery trade, this style of ring is known as a “Belcher” setting. I always wondered why it had acquired this curious name. A quick Google search came up with this plausible explanation from EraGem.com “The buttercup setting is also known as the Belcher setting. Some jewelry references claim that the setting was named after an American jeweler named Thomas Belcher. I was unable to find any notable jewelers with this name. What I did discover is that the setting was likely named after a famous English boxing champion. You heard that correctly, a bare-knuckle fighter, James “Jem” Belcher, who held the championship title between 1800 and 1805. (source) During his brief reign, he distinguished himself not only as an excellent fighter, but also as an English dandy. The wealthy men who attended his fights often paraded him around to the highest society events of the day. (source) His distinctive style included a signature blue and white neckerchief, a style which took off. This type of men’s scarf, worn around the neck and often secured with a ring, came to be called a Belcher. The ring became known as a Belcher ring. (source) For reasons I have not been able to ascertain, this scarf ring became closely associated with this gorgeous Victorian ring setting. Incidentally, Jem had a brother name Tom, who was also a famous boxer. Perhaps this is where the rumors about an American jeweler named Thomas Belcher got started.”
Our Belcher ring looks like it has never been worn, there are no worn areas of any kind. It contains a good sized round brilliant cut diamond measuring approximately 6.2mm diameter and is estimated to weigh 0.86 carats. This natural diamond displays a significant inclusion that is visible without magnification.
The reflective yellow gold setting enhances the apparent colour of the diamond helping to appear much more white than our estimate of M colour. Measuring a finger size 9 with a thick shank, the ring can be adjusted up or down as needed. High quality construction made to last a lifetime, featuring solid full shoulders with an opening under stone to facilitate east cleaning.
It weighs well over 8 grams and looks like new. Including the 0.86 carat diamond this ring is priced less than the replacement value of just the empty setting. Estate priced at $1,500.00 CAD. Stock #116-00101.
Nice sized watch that could be worn by a man or a woman given its reasonable size of 35.5mm diameter. This is a good one, just the basics in clean classic Cartier style. Simple white dial with big Arabic numerals and hash marks, large blued steel luminous hands/markers allow easy time interpretation under all lighting conditions.
The continuously sweeping second hand and calendar with extra large display at 6:00 o’clock is a great feature for those of us with 40 plus year old eyes. An innovative canteen style crown guard adds an interesting style highlight as well as keeping the watch water resistant to 100 meters.
The Swiss made automatic winding movement is keeping great time with all functions working as designed. Our master watchmaker performed a full overall to the movement in April 2025. The electronic timing report shows better than expected performance considering this watch is not a certified chronometer.
Overall condition is very good. The stainless steel case and bracelet are showing some minor scuffs and scratches but the watch appears as if it was only occasionally used. Our onsite goldsmiths can easily polish away the minor scuffs and scratches on the bezel and bracelet while you wait should you want the watch to look practically like new.
Includes a one year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty covering all aspects of mechanical defects and failures except those caused by misuse or moisture. The bracelet has 13 links allowing the watch to fit wrist size of up to 7 1/2 inches, showing very little sag from wear and zero stretch.
Many Pashas on the market have had some of their adjustable links removed. If you need a replacement link or two keep in mind they are going to cost you at least $100.00 each. The bracelet on our Pasha is missing only the small half sized link. Our full length Pasha Big-Date is estate priced at $2,950.00 CAD. Stock #501-0382.
Fashion comes and goes, but style is forever. Made yesterday or a century ago the three stone design is an absolute classic and versatile design that is complimentary to almost anything. It’s hard to date this sort of ring but we think this one is likely from the 1980s. The 4mm flat shank with low cathedral shoulders is comfortable and provides extra support to the four prong “V” settings. The open design allows maximum light and is easy to clean.
The centre diamond in this trio measures 4.2mm diameter, is estimated to weight 0.29 carats and sits just a touch higher than the other two. The three round brilliant cut natural diamonds are very well matched and showcase very good clarity of VS, with a pleasing HI colour, and good cut. The 3.9 grams ring measures a size 7 and can easily be made larger or smaller by one of our onsite goldsmiths.
These rings make great engagement, anniversary, or dinner rings. They pair very well with anything that has a flat edge. It is in excellent condition showing minor wear on the prongs, but needing no attention or rebuilding. You could by a 3 carat lab-grown solitaire that no one is going to believe is real or something like this tasteful and sophisticated natural three-stone classic showcasing mother nature grown diamonds. Estate priced at $1,860.00 CAD. 101-00637.

Like new, 2021 Breitling Chronomat 42 with an extra Hirsch brown leather strap for 30% less than its replacement price. This watch was only worn a couple of times before it made its way to our estate department. Purchased at a Canadian authorized Breitling agent in the spring of 2021. The in-house manufactured 47 jewel B01 chronometer movement is a thing of beauty and something Breitling is very proud to show off through the transparent sapphire display back.
In addition to an easy to read (day or night) 3 hand time display, model IB0134101G1A1 features a 12-hour elapsed time chronograph, tachymeter scale, plus a convenient and discreetly located 31-day calendar.
The screw down crown and thread case back allows the watch a more than adequate water resistance rating of 200 meters. A touch of 18 karat rose gold trim on the polished 60-minute ratcheting bezel and controls gives this do it all watch an excuse to be used on your next dressy occasion.
The throwback bullet bracelet is a Breitling original that hasn’t been seen on one of their products in close to 2 decades, and I for one am happy to see it return.
This design is unique to Breitling and is a refreshing departure from the many “Rolex-looking” bracelets you see on other luxury brands. The few times the previous owner wore the watch it was only on the soft brown Hirsch leather strap, the extra long bracelet remains in unworn condition.
This watch is a current Breilting offering and can be seen on their website where it carries a price of $13,400.00 CAD. The next owner will benefit from Breitling’s 5-year international warranty until April 2026.
Including all of the original documents, packaging, plus the extra leather strap, this watch is estate priced at $7,500.00 CAD. Stock #515-00063.

This ring captures all the most popular themes in modern engagement ring style. I do not think this ring is any older than a couple years. Cushion shaped halos are one of our best sellers. The split shank design with milgrain detail, bead set shoulder diamonds running down the shank and hand engraved highlights in the gallery add sparkle and bling from every direction. The bezel set pink sapphires on each side of setting are a cheery playful highlight to this contemporary ring.
The ring comes with an April 2019 appraisal from Shelemay Jewellery Appraisals Ltd. It is a thorough document that describes in good detail the components and their quality that are contained in the ring. The ring is described to contain 1.50 carats total weight of pink sapphires and diamonds of SI2-HI quality. Our cautious and conservative opinion and appraisal approach calculates a total weight of closer to 1.30 carats.
The April 2019 Shelemay appraisal suggests a retail value of $7,600.00 plus sales tax. Our more competitive opinion of replacement value is quite a bit less. As a lightly used, previously enjoyed ring we have it priced at just $2,100.00 CAD. Stock #101-00636.

Feathers have been used as items of decoration pretty much as long as humans have been around. Aside from the fleeting beauty of a flower blossom, there are few natural objects more beautiful of a colourful feather. These custom made feather pendants expertly capture the spirit and accuracy of the real thing. The fine parallel texture is reminiscent of a Florentine finish mimicking the locking fibres of a bird feather, every once in while the pattern is broken with a space the same as you’d expect in a real feather.
Excellence of manufacture and high quality are showcased in premium 18 karat and ultra high end 22 karat gold with VS-GH single cut diamonds. The warm yellow gold has a slight blush hue likely attributed to a tiny amount of copper added into the 91.6% pure gold alloy. The 18 karat white gold section forms the tapering calamus running down almost to the tip of each feather. A little sparkle has been achieved by adding 25 graduated high quality (VS-GH) single cut diamonds to the bright white gold. They have been expertly bead set with perfectly formed bright cut diagonal accents and millgrain edging.
These pendants truly showcase the work of a master goldsmith. The two-tone design allows the pendants to be worn with either yellow or white gold chains. Large hidden bails in the back will accept a variety of chain styles and sizes. They can be worn separately or as a flattering set. We are selling them individually but we hope they stay together.
The small pendant measures 3.7cm long, weighs 2.4 grams, and contains 7 diamonds (0.05ct. tw.), the large feather is 6.3cm long, weighs 7.4 grams, with 20 diamonds (0.20ct. tw.).
The pictured chains are not included with purchase but give you an idea of how they hang. They are both in perfect condition and have not been restored, polished, or refinished in any way. Estate priced at $718.00 and $2,240.00 CAD. Stock #161-00342 & 161-00343.

Add a little colour to your life with this Gabriel & Company pink tourmaline and diamond ring. G & Co. are a very popular luxury jewellery brand who make beautiful engagement/wedding rings plus other jewellery items.
This dinner ring features a very saturated fuchsia rubellite (pink tourmaline). The faceted oval gem measures approximately 9mm x 7mm and is estimated to weigh 2.10 carats. Vivid colour and excellent clarity really make this one dance with brilliance. The major source of high quality Rubellite is Brazil, but it can also be found in Madagascar, Africa, and even the United States. The contemporary halo design contains 70 small round brilliant cut natural and pear shaped diamonds of very nice VS-GH quality.
The small diamonds add an estimated 0.55 carats of sparkle to this contemporary design. The low profile setting and three section shank make this a very comfortable ring. The inside of the back section has been decorated with a wire lattice adding an extra level of comfort, detail and easy cleaning.
We couldn’t find this exact ring on the Gabriel & Co. website, but we found a similar style in yellow gold that cost $6,700.00 CAD (without a centre stone). Our ring measures a rather smallish finger size 4 1/2 but it can be adjusted up a size or two if needed. It is in excellent condition showing almost no use.
Just some rhodium wear on the bottom of the shank is your only clue this ring has ever been worn. In our traditional blue presentation box this beautiful ring is estate priced at only $2,350.00 CAD. Stock #206-00614.

These almost went into our showcase without being showcased online, until we noticed the extra bright-cut engraving on the inside. There are many items that come and go with regularity but never get the online exposure they deserve. Sometimes only our local walk-in customers find the little hidden treasures in our estate department. These are hollow construction but heavy enough gauge to be engraved with the leaf/vine design. The engraving shows up very well against the brushed finish. Hollow yes but also sturdy, the seamless tubing earrings weigh a combined 2.28 grams. Heavy enough to provide good durability but light enough to be very comfortable. They measure approximately 1 inch in diameter, 4.6mm wide and are secured by riveted wire and friction lock.
Crafted from upgraded 14 karat. We love how the engraved pattern on the rounded outside profile is mirrored on the flat inner contour.
As obvious as this is, we almost never see the inside of a hoop earring decorated like this. They are in perfect condition and estate priced at $392.00 CAD. 426-00342.

Silver may be priced at an all time high right now, but that doesn’t mean it is expensive. Silver has seen significant price appreciation but is still 87 times less expensive than the equal weight in gold. With gold closing in on $5,000.00 CAD per ounce, the appeal of silver is becoming more tempting all the time. This selection of Johnson Matthey silver bars is a great way to get into the bullion market that also has a collectable angle too. In 2015 and 160 years of silver and gold refining Johnson Matthey sold its refining business to Asahi Holdings of Japan. Why Asahi decided to abandon the JM name is a mystery to those of us who remember how respected the Johnson Matthey brand was. These vintage silver bars are individually serial numbered and come with a purity of 99.9%, which is more than enough to be sold sales tax free in Canada. The Canadian Revenue Agency looks upon the sale of fine bullion like this as a financial transaction and therefor not subject to sales tax. These bars are on offer for only the value of silver they contain plus 5%. For an up to the minute price for silver billion click here. First come first serve and being sold as a set of six only.

Silver bullion is so close to an all time high but it still seems undervalued right now. 1 ounce of silver is around 87 times less expensive than 1 ounce of gold. The historic relationship of gold vs. silver price is more like 40 to 1 and gold is only around 17 times more rare than silver. There have only been a few times in history that I’m aware of when the gold/silver ratio has been much higher. This tells us that gold is overpriced or that silver is underpriced. With all the chaos in the world my personal opinion is both silver and gold are under valued but much more so in the case of silver. With silver pricing as low as it has been for the last few years we’ve slowly been acquiring silver but seldom do we sell any of it. For all those people who call us asking for silver bullion here’s your chance. This 100 ounce bar of 999.9 fine silver were made by The Royal Canadian Mint. The bars measure just 18.4cm x 8.1cm x 2.1cm but are surprisingly hefty when you hold them in you hand. They each weigh just a little under 7 pounds. RCM bars are about the most sought after brand in the business. The Royal Canadian Mint’s products are universally acknowledged as among the most pure in the world. Many silver bars are 99.9% pure; these RCM bars are 99.99% fine silver. We usually squirrel away these but at the moment it is taking up too much room. Who knows the next time we’ll sell off some of our silver hoard (don’t hold your breath). There is no sales tax on the sale of precious metals, as Revenue Canada looks upon these sales as financial transactions therefore not subject to any form of sales tax. Everyone should own some bullion as security against the effects inflation has on your cash. This is only 100 ounce bar we are selling at the moment. Estate priced at just the silver value it contains plus 4% (VISA & Mastercard purchases please add 2% to cover credit card fees). First come first serve. Contact us immediately if you’re interested.

Understated yet very exotic and unusual, this is a pair of well matched green sapphires. Yes, sapphires can come is colours other than blue. There is still blue component in their colour but the main hue is a lower tone green. It would have been a difficult task to locate a pair of matching green sapphires like these. The green colour can be attributed to the presence of trace amounts of iron in the gem.
Exposure to different elements when the crystal is forming can cause pure colourless white sapphires to change to almost any colour of the spectrum. These earrings are bright and lively, the images can’t capture to reflective sparkle of sapphire. The previous owner likely had this pair custom made as we’ve never seen a set like them before. The olive colour is paired very well with the rich yellow colour of the premium 18 karat yellow gold double gallery settings.
The settings are another clue that these aren’t an off the shelf item, as most earrings of this design are made from 14 karat gold. The basic double gallery settings are secured by surprisingly sturdy butterfly friction back that bite strongly on the 1mm posts. This pair of unusual stud earrings weigh a very comfortable 2.2 grams in total. They are in like new condition and estate priced at $1,200.00 CAD. Stock #211-00158.

If you are turning 40 this year or you know a special person who is, this would make an amazing gift to commemorate the milestone. Get some while you can. Gold is on a tear, who knows where it will end up. Since gold bullion like this is not terribly rare or too collectible the value is simply determined by the intrinsic gold value and not so much the condition. As a bonus this one is quite nice and comes with a protective plastic capsule (not pictured). Royal Canadian Mint gold and silver coins are world renowned for their high quality and purity. RCM was the first mint in the would to produce a coin of 99.9% purity in 1979. They did in again in 1983 producing a gold coin of even higher 99.99%. Today they even produce some special edition coins of a remarkable 99.999% purity. 999 and 9999 coins are an easy way for the average person to invest in some gold bullion. In January 1979 gold was trading for around $225.00 USD per ounce. By early 1980 it had shot up to $850.00 USD. Not a bad return if you timed the market correctly. If you bought gold a few months after the 1980 high at $500.00 USD it would have taken you around 25 years to get your money back when in 2005 it broke through the $500.00 barrier again. Now in 2025 gold is well over $3,300.00 USD. What does all this mean? There are plenty of theories out there and one thing is for sure, the world is a much more complicated place than it was the last time gold really spiked. There are billions of people around the world who have little faith or trust in paper money and the insurmountable debt it represents, but gold has been a way to store value. Inflation only makes gold more valuable while your cash becomes less valuable every day. It’s not a bad idea to hold some of this precious metal as an alternative to cash. Buying pure gold like this is tax free, there is no sales tax on precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum. This 1985 coin is priced at the current price of gold plus just 2%. You can check out the current price of gold in Canadian dollars here. Holding a little gold is a great way to protect yourself against inflation when it takes more and more paper money to buy what you need.

Garnets are the perfect choice when you’re looking for rich saturated colours in applications that don’t require a super hard gem. Due to their relative softness, garnets need to be worn with some degree of caution if they are being used in a ring, bracelet or other piece of jewellery that are more prone to impacts. Earrings and pendants are a more favorable choice for the wonderful palette of colours available with natural garnets. The more common hues are usually in the brownish/red to purple range but garnets can occur in almost any colour except blue.
This premium quality pendant is crafted from 18 karat white gold with very nice VS-H round brilliant cut diamonds. The diamonds are bead set in a square frame around the dark purplish red garnet and in the elongated bail. Measuring 6.9mm x 4.4mm we’ve calculated the round brilliant cut garnet to weigh 1.50 carats. The 38 small diamonds weigh a combined 0.50 carats. This pendant is surprisingly hefty at 0ver 5.1 grams. The fixed bail will accommodate a variety of chain sizes up to 2mm wide. This pendant does not come with a chain, we have many suitable options in both new and estate necklaces that would pair nicely with this pendant.
The 17-inch, 18 karat, 3.9 gram, foxtail chain we are showing it with would make a flattering pairing for $550.00. The pendant is in perfect condition. It doesn’t show even the slightest wear from where the chain slides through. Like new and estate priced at $1,800.00 CAD (pendant only, chain extra). Stock number #161-00366.
Just because it’s old doesn’t mean it’s genuine. Until massive deposits of amethyst were discovered in Africa and Brazil this regal purple stone was as valuable and ruby, emerald and even diamond. So it comes as no surprise to see antique jewellery with imitation amethyst. This antique pendant is around 100 years old and features an simulated amethyst made of glass. It has a small cavity on a crown facet that can be seen in this photo.
Today natural amethyst is considered to be a semi-precious gem, we believe the faceted purple glass is original to the pendant. The cost of a modern amethyst this size 12mm x 9mm (2.75 carats) would only be around $100.00. This early Art Deco pendant is around 100 years old and is in very good condition, featuring 24 tiny seed pearls that are graver set into a wreath style frame. Likely made in North America as there are not many other markets using this quality of gold jewellery. The pendant is suspended from a large triangular bail that will accommodate a variety of chain sizes. We have many different styles and lengths of new and estate gold chains to select from. This pendant does not come with the box link we have pictured. The antique pendant weighs just over 4 grams and is estate priced at $371.00 CAD. Stock #231-00241.

Mystic topaz was first introduced at the Hong Kong Jewellery Fair in 1998. Before it is crafted into the enchanted gemstone that it is, mystic topaz typically starts out as a natural colourless or very pale topaz. A modern technique called Chemical Vapor Disposition (CVD) is employed to apply a thin layer of titanium onto the surface of the gemstone’s pavilion, creating a unique rainbow-like dispersive effect.
Our captivating 10.50 carat sky blue mystic topaz glistens with vibrant flashes of iridescent colour. Flickers of dark blue, magenta, deep purple, light teal and gold dance throughout the 14mm stone as light passes through the dazzling facets of the modified brilliant cut gemstone.
Set in a decorative filigree 14-karat yellow gold setting with replacement 10-karat yellow gold shank, the ring currently measures a size 5.5 with room to adjust. A true visual delight, this alluring treasure is estate priced at $420.00 CAD. Stock #206-00275.

In real estate it’s location location location, when it comes to coloured gems it’s all about the colour. Other characteristics play a less important factor but by far colour is the most important detail, and you don’t need to be an expert to recognize great colour. Our latest sapphire and diamond ring has that illusive cobalt blue hue that only the best sapphires will exhibit. Clarity isn’t too important when valuing a sapphire or other coloured stone but a good transparency does help showcase a desirable colour. A reasonable cut makes the most of the unique optical properties of different types of coloured stones. The emerald cut shape is very unusual to see in sapphires.
Step cuts like this are only seen in around 10% of sapphires in the 1.00 to 2.00 carat size range. This one measures 5.7mm x 5.3mm x 4.2mm and has been calculated to weigh 1.27 carats. The two round brilliant cut natural diamonds on each shoulder weight a little over half in total and are conservatively graded SI1-HI. The setting has been crafted in 18 karat white gold for a finger size 6. The fit can be adjusted up or down a size or so. Fancy wire gallery settings are reminiscent of a tulip blossom and allow easy access for cleaning while providing a delicate look and excellent security.
All 12 claws securing the stones have been expertly rebuilt to a very high standard at some point. The shank bottom is showing some thinning from decades of wear, but vintage 18 karat white gold alloys are very hard and much more durable than modern nickel free blends of gold. We estimate this ring is around 70 years old. It was a cherished possession and worn day in day out for decades. As such the sapphire is showing some wear and tear on the facet intersections and a very thin scratch on the table surface.
These minor blemishes are difficult to see except under close scrutiny. A simple repolish by an experienced lapidary would easily bring it back to perfect condition. This is one of the best colour sapphires we have ever had the pleasure of showcasing.
All these images are not enhanced in any way and were taken with an old point a shoot Nikon Coolpix S9900 digital camera in fully automatic mode. It comes with a 2019 GemTech Toronto appraisal and our matching blue presentation box.
The colour is truly that good. This difficult to replace sapphire and diamond estate ring is estate priced at $2,800.00 CAD. Stock #206-00597.

Everyone needs a praying guardian angel to look out for them. This little guy has been embellished by the addition of 70 tiny diamonds set in his wings and the bail. We do mean tiny when we’re describing the diamonds. They are not chips but properly cut round diamonds, each one with 17 individual facets on the crown and pavilion. The 70 diamonds weight an estimated 0.125 carats in total. These diamonds a so small it would take over 500 of them to equal 1 carat in weight! The diamonds are light but the pendant is quite heavy weighing in just under 11 grams.
It is in like new condition showing no wear and tear. The large hinged bail allows almost any size chain or cord necklace to pass through. Chains up to 7mm should be able to be worn with it. The pendant could also be used as a fob on a key chain or bracelet as a good luck charm. It is of contemporary manufacture with a curious network of gold wires on the back.
These wires add some extra weight, but are not necessary for strength as this pendant weighs much more than you’d expect. Given the current price of gold at around $3,600.00 per ounce, you’d expect this pendant to weigh a lot less. It could have easily been made using half the gold and would still have been a quality piece of jewellery. This inspirational angel is estate priced at $980.00 CAD. Stock #161-00279.

There is so much white gold being sold now I thought it was time for a change. So here is a very traditional yellow gold solitaire engagement ring. 18 karat yellow gold offers a rich colour that is unique in the world of modern white/grey jewellery metals like silver, titanium, stainless steel, cobalt, and tungsten carbide. Besides the pinkish hue of copper, gold is only other coloured metal. The traditional beauty of the rare yellow metal is becoming popular again as people are rediscovering why it has been so cherished for thousands of years. This ring is very well made and weighs over 4 grams including the platinum head. The excellent cut 0.31 carat round diamond is a very good SI1 clarity with a little bit of a warmer “K” colour. The flat edge design is very easy to match with a wedding ring or anniversary ring. Measuring a size 8 this ring is a little larger than most but can easily be sized down in a day or so by our on-site goldsmiths. A new 18 karat/platinum ring like this could easily sell for over $200.00 per gram not including a diamond. Estate priced at $840.00 CAD. Stock #e8411.
Mokume-gane is as exotic as it sounds, originating in 17th-century Japan “wood-grain metal” or “wood-eye metal” was developed by master metalworker Denbei Shoami, for the creation of decorative sword sheaths and handles. With the banning of public displays of samurai status in the late 19th-century, mokume-gane artists redirected their skills to the creation of other decorative pieces. The process of creating mokume is comparable to the creation of Damascus steel. Sheets of precious and semi-precious metals are laminated in layers, creating a bilet.
The metals are sweat-soldered or fused together, compressed, cut in half, layered again until the metalsmith gets to the desired number of layers. The billet is then patterned by a process of engraving into the surface, then flattened out again, repeating this process multiple times to increase the grain of the metal. The real magic of mokume comes with time, as the finished piece consists of different metals with different hardnesses daily wear removes some materials faster than others, creating an undulating surface that gets more exaggerated over time; the same wear you see in real wood as it weathers. This unique quality of improving with time makes the metal a perfect metaphor when used in wedding bands.
The mokume-gane we present today is a matched wedding set, with the engagement ring and wedding band cut from the same billet of silver and 18 karat white gold. The matched set both feature channels of diamonds running their top thirds. The engagement ring is crowned with a 0.64 carat round brilliant cut diamond of bright I1-J quality. Paired with the 17 accents the set comes to an estimated 0.90 carats in total weight. The wedding band measures 4.2mm wide and the engagement ring 3.2mm wide, both currently measure a finger size 5 1/2 with some room to adjust, though it will disturb the pattern. Estate price for the set only $2,800.00 CAD. Stock #e14210.
We’ve been selling and servicing pre-owned and vintage Rolex watches since the late 1950s at Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers. Bill Le Boeuf was a certified watchmaker long before he opened his store here on Dunlop Street in DownTown Barrie in 1958. This is the type of Rolex he would have seen as a young man new to industry in the 1940s. Relatively simple, hand wind timekeeping technology like this was pretty much state of the art back then. No automatic winding, no shock protection, seldom a calendar display, or any other complication, and certainly no hardened lab-grown sapphire crystals, or high tech ceramic dials and bezels. A water-resistant stainless case with a threaded crown and case back was considered the latest technology in the 1940s. In the mid 1930s Rolex annual production was only around 20,000 Oyster case watches per year. The brand was quite popular with military personal during World War II. The water tight Oyster case was superior to others when it came to protecting the delicate mechanical internal components.
After WWII production started to ramp up as word spread of the durable Rolex Oyster. By the late 1940s production numbers quadrupled and it’s been steady growth ever since. When Rolex decided to make it difficult to track production with the introduction of scrambled serial numbers in 2010 they were manufacturing around 1 million watches per year! This vintage Oyster Everest Observatory dates from 1948 according to its 555,429 serial number. It is a rarely encountered model and showcases an unusual hour hand and with red seconds hand. At first we thought the hour hand was a mismatch to the more traditional minute hand but we found other examples online with the same hand set made from blued steel.
The dial features alternating Arabic and hash marks plotting out the hours, while a connected minute track frames the outline. An even parchment patina across the dial appears appropriate for the age, crisp and sharp text leads us to believe this watch is mostly original. Our watchmaker performed a full overhaul to the 17 jewell calibre 710 in July 2025 and has it running great and keeping good time.
One thing we couldn’t keep original was the threaded crown. The inner threads were worn out, so we had to replace it with a generic version.
The unusual cushion shaped case retains its sharp edges and is also thought to be original, although it does display scuffs and scratches picked up over the last 75 plus years.
The plastic crystal shows minor crazing but is still intact. A good quality 18mm Hirsch black leather strap has this watch in ready to wear condition. We are happy to provide the next owner of this watch a complimentary one-year warranty. Estate priced at $4,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00084.
Tiffany have a knack for producing silver jewellery with unique designs that stand the test of time.

A new Tiffany silver bracelets will cost you a minimum of $300.00, these versions have replacement values of much more that that. These bracelets came to us together from a previous owner who had a small wrist. The longest of the 3 only measures just 7 inches, the lady bug with 18 karat rose gold trim is just over 6 inches long.
We can always extend the length but these are ready to go for the thin wrist lady. Tiffany bracelets are very popular with our estate customers, often selling before we have a chance to post them. Each one comes with that distinct turquoise/blue travel pouch.

We’ve featured several Spence Diamond engagement rings in the past but this is the first fully custom creation we’ve had of theirs and we have no complaints! The ring is made to the high quality that you often find with one-of-a-kind pieces. It is about as solid as they come, with only the tiniest drill holes under each diamond to assist with cleaning. The 11.8mm wide band holds its width all the way around making it as sturdy along its bottom as it is across its top. That digit dominating width does require some special consideration when assessing the finger size.
Though it measures a 6 that width will make it fit much tighter on the finger, requiring as much as half a size or more of fit additional room depending on your finger shape. The ring’s top half features a criss-cross pattern of carved gold with four of the strands set with diamonds. Together there are 40 round brilliant cut diamonds equalling 0.416cts together of SI2-I quality. The 14.6 gram ring is accompanied by its original invoice stating a sale price of $2,994.00 CAD back in June 2015. Our estate price is $1,750.00 CAD. Stock #131-00153.

We’ve had rings inspired by Rolex designs before, but this is the first time we’ve ever seen high quality bracelets that look like the famous Rolex President bracelet. These premium quality 18 karat yellow gold bracelets are virtual clones to the original, right down to the removable links that are secured by finely machined screws.
The links are interchangeable with the originals from the watch should you need an extra link for your Rolex. The super secure folding buckles operate exactly the same as the one on a lady’s gold Datejust or gent’s Day-Date from the 1980s until around the turn of the millennium. 
Both buckles secure tightly shut with a satisfying click. Bracelets like this a very elaborate in construction unlike a simple curb or Cuban link design. As such they are much more expensive to manufacture, if your only criteria is the purchase price per gram.
They are both in like new condition, and have only been occasionally worn. They show only the slightest amount of sag with no stretch of any kind.
The narrow example measures 10.5mm wide, 18.5cm long (7 1/4″), and weighs 45.8 grams. The gents measures 16.2mm wide, 21.5cm long (8 1/2″). They make great accessories if you have a naked wrist that could use a little decoration. Estate priced at $14,500.00 CAD. Stock #441-00310.

Often with channel set anniversary bands there is a limited amount of room for changing the finger size, due to the diamonds sitting so close together. Sizing the ring up brings the diamond closer by reducing the curve they’re on potentially causing damage. Luckily we have such a variety of estate channel set anniversary bands we likely have one in the finger size you need, or close enough to adjust. This band in particular is a slightly larger size 9. Made from 3 grams of brightly rhodium enhanced 14 karat white gold. We have opted to leave it in its unpolished condition. We can do a complimentary full refinishing in about 5 minutes if you wish. The top half is set with 0.55 carats of well matched I1-HI round brilliant cut diamonds, 12 all together. The ring is accompanied by its original Gem Scan summary evaluation wallet card (April 2013).

We’ve been Simon G fans since we brought the California designers line to the Barrie area at least a dozen years ago, their offerings of bridal jewellery was a perfect fit for us. Most of their pieces take inspiration from the Art Deco period so you can imagine why we’re smitten. This more modern example shows its historic leaning with a delicate edge of millgrain. That almost matte finish really brings out the intense yellow tone of the 18 karat gold setting.
It creates a contrasting backdrop for the 24 round brilliant cut diamonds that cover 3/4 of the ring. The 0.27 carats total weight are of Simon G’s typical VS-FG quality, showing their high cut grade through intense fire despite their delicate size. The 0.52 carat centre diamond has been proudly set into a six prong white gold head. It is an eye-clean SI1-J and faces up whiter than you’d expect thanks to the warmth of the ring and its ideal cut.
This is a piece we originally put together in 2013 and it comes with all of its original paperwork. Normally semi mount MR 1546 comes in white gold and is currently available new (without a center stone) for $2,574.00 CAD. Our estate price including the center diamond is only $2,400.00 CAD. Stock #101-00155 e13215.
The advantage of having a tiny finger is that small hands can make a diamond like this one look much larger than it is. Not that this 0.64 carat I2-IJ round brilliant cut really needs the help as its been shouldered by a row of bead set diamonds edged in high polished white gold. The impression is a ring top covered over in diamonds that twinkle at the slightest movement. The intertwining undergallery has even been set with two petite diamonds. The engagement ring is accompanied by a matching wedding band that takes the total weight of the set to a perfect 1.00 carat. The 14 karat white gold 5.2 gram pair both measures an extra petite 4 1/2 with some room to adjust. Estate price $1,500.00 CAD. Stock #e13337.
A multi-stone cluster offers a combination of low price-point and large footprint, creating the look of a single larger diamond at a glance. This oval cluster spans 10.2mm long by 8.7mm wide and meets with diamond-encrusted twisting shoulders. All told the ring has been set with 68 round brilliant cut I1-I quality diamonds equalling approximately 0.33 carats total weight.

It can take decades of marketing for a brand to become synonymous with a look. In the automotive world, the Porsche 911 comes to mind. Whether it’s a 1973 or 2023 model year, the stylists are careful to retain certain elements of design that define the look. In the watch world, the Rolex Oyster is one such watch, for Omega it’s the Constellation.
For over 40 years the flagship Constellation has had a look with design components consistent with the original 1982 Manhattan model. The 4 claws at 3:00 and 9:00 o’clock, Roman numeral bezel, and integrated bracelet have always been used in one form or another.
This watch was purchased new from Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers October 22, 1999 when we were authorized agents for Omega.
All the original documentation for the watch including the fully endorsed warranty card and chronometer certificate are included. The watch shows scratches and scuffs on the 7 3/4″ bracelet, case and bezel from everyday use but it is 100% original. No polishing or refinishing has been done since it left the Geneva factory.
The Constellation has been the flagship model within the Omega family since they were introduced in 1952. The automatic winding movement inside the case is Omega’s 1120 chronometer.
It is running great and keeping excellent time after full service in the winter of 2023 (copy of our work order is included).
These are uncommon watches today and seldom show up in our estate department.
This more rounded design was first update of the original 1982 Manhattan design. Over 40 years later, Omega still makes a 36mm Constellation that looks very similar. Model 131.20.36.60.02.002 is the current version and comes with a retail price of $9,100.00.
Including our complimentary 1-year warranty this 2001 Omega Constellation is estate priced at $3,500.00 CAD. Stock #510-00188.

As a group, we’ve developed several theories around this truly one-of-a-kind talisman. The first is that it’s a Wiccan Athame, a ceremonial blade used to cast a circle and summon or banish spirits. This theory comes mostly from the lot of highly symbolic metaphysical pieces that this pendant came from. Each was deeply steeped in meaning and most leaned toward the Neopagan. The second is an Excaliber association which is mostly drawn from the dragon that decorates the hilt. Whatever the origins, this ceremonial dagger or wand was certainly built to be powerful! Measuring just over 5 inches long and consisting mostly of a clear rock crystal pillar (another powerful Neopagan/Wiccan implement).
The 14 karat yellow gold top features a twisting hilt and Sai-like prongs (an ancient Japanese dagger), partnered with a European-looking dragon.
The hilt is accented with diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and emeralds but the real show-stoppers are a large oval jelly-opal and a bezel-set rainbow moonstone.
Both gems play on the rainbow dispersion that flashes along the quartz crystal while it rotates. That pillar represents spiritual growth and enhancing psychic abilities, the rainbow moonstone strengthens intuition and psychic perception, jelly opal represents perseverance and stability.
All of this meaning is secured by an oversized bail that should fit over most chains. The piece is accompanied by a May 2018 Harold Weinstein LTD. appraisal stating an estimated value of $7,500.00 CAD. Our estate price for this weapon of spirituality is $2,100.00 CAD. Stock #231-00178.
A little Canadian number that Peoples Jewellers tags with; “Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, a wedding or simply the love you feel for her, express yourself with a ladylike ring that will make every day special.” We couldn’t say it any better (obviously) and what else is there to say with a staple piece like a channel set diamond band. The 0.51 carats cover the top half of the finger in icy Canadian brilliance of SI-I-G quality. The 10 diamonds are each laser inscribed and come with a certificate of authenticity.
The ring itself is made from 2.2 grams of 14 karat white gold that currently measures a finger size 4 3/4. The ring is currently listed on People’s website on sale at $1,159.20. Our price $890.00 CAD. Stock #e12530.

From the sublime to the ridiculous, we have a little bit of everything in our ever changing estate inventory. Here is another item from the “now I’ve seen everything file”. This custom made honey bee ring was manufactured on a large scale, at least 2 times its actual subject matter size. The cute honey bee perched atop the pierced nugget pattern ring measures around one inch long with a wing span to match.
Honey bees are essential pollinators for much of the world’s food supply. Their populations are a concern for scientists that have seen declines due to pesticide use, loss of habitat. The wild populations of honey bees are of particular concern as their numbers have become unstable. Some farms in California bring in commercial hives to help pollinate their crops in case the local wild bees are unable to. This ring contains 29 high quality sparkling VS-SI-GH single cut diamonds that are bead set in the body of the cute bee. It’s eyes are fine quality bezel set emeralds that each measure 1.7mm diameter.
This ring is a size 11 1/2 but could be adjusted down 3 or 4 sizes without too much trouble. Even though the top half of the shank in this is pierced in a random pattern the ring still weighs in at a substantial 15 grams.
This ring is both high quality jewellery and part whimsical artwork. Although the style and subject matter make dating the production of this ring difficult we feel this interesting creation was handmade sometime is the 1970s. It is estate priced at $3,000.00 CAD. Stock #206-00412.
The versatility of gold makes it the perfect material to express a jewellery designers creativity. It easily blends with other metals to display different hues, can be polished, hammered, drawn, sandblasted, or brushed to display multiple finishes on the same piece. It is also malleable enough to easily set any gemstone. These estate earrings display many of gold’s wonderful attributes.
The mirror image design has a mostly hammered texture that has been sandblasted to accentuate the white on yellow contrast. The borders of the overlapping design are highlighted with over 100 small round brilliant cut diamonds that were each hand-set one by one. The earrings are secured with spring loaded wire omega backs with long posts.
This style of closure is easy to use as there are no fussy little butterfly friction backs, they are also quite comfortable applying pressure across a larger area on the back of your ear. They are of sturdy construction with a finished weight of 6.7 grams. They are also in like new condition. Estate priced at $1,540.00 CAD. Stock #151-00340

A radiant cut is basically a square princess cut diamond with the corners cut off. This greatly reduces the chances of chipping one of the pointy corners, at the expense of a the extra weight that gets lost. This is one of the reasons a radiant cut costs a little bit more compared to a square princess cut. The truncated corners also allow for a much more discreet sized/shaped prong.
It’s a wonder we don’t see as many radiant cuts as we do princess cuts. This ring is the popular Lucida style setting with its trademark crossover gallery claws.
The example is notable because the shank is quite thin and delicate at 2.5mm in width. The European bottom is squared off to help keep the ring pointing up. There is a tiny surprise princess cut diamond Gypsy set into one of the bottom corners.
The centrepiece is of course the Canadian origin diamond with it’s unique laser etched serial number (ADURA IGI 30059583C). We don’t know much about the ADURA brand except this little snippet we found online “HRA Investments Ltd., has branded a multifaceted princess cut diamond brand called Adura. The Adura diamond, displaying a dazzling 85 facets is issued with a Certificate of Brilliance, illustrating the enhanced light return of every Adura diamond. Sun Gems International, will be the exclusive distributor of the Adura Brand that is marketed in Canada. Adura translates from Latin to “light on fire” which fits this diamond to a ‘T’.
Feel free to dive in that rabbit hole and let us know you found out about this specialty cut diamond. What we do know is it sparkles much better than most radiant cut diamonds as the cutting geometry is excellent, unlike most generic square cuts. The ring measures a size 6 1/2 and can easily be adjusted up or down. The diamond itself is calculated to weigh 0.76 carats of SI1 clarity with an H/I colour. This unique diamond solitaire is estate priced at $1,855.00 CAD. Stock #101-00526.
Simple design and high quality are always in style and never get old. Yes, this hinged bangle is hollow but don’t let that be a concern. The gauge of hollow tubing can vary from so thin it can’t even be polished for fear of putting a hole in it to several millimeters. The weight of this 14 karat yellow gold bangle is well over 1 ounce at more than 32 grams. If it was made completely solid, it would weigh close to 3 ounces and be almost too heavy to wear, and cost 3 times as much. The colour of this bracelet is not typical for North American or Italian 14 karat jewellery. It has a slightly greenish/yellow hue that is associated with a more silver rich alloy than those used domestically.
This alloy colour is often seen in Germany, there is a reasonable chance this item was manufactured in that part of Western Europe. Wherever it came from and whoever made it, they were very skilled at their craft. The hinge is very tight with no play, The plunger style clasp has been designed with 2 locking “clicks”. When the clasp is being closed you not only feel the locking tongue grooves, but you can easily hear them click with a loud auditory snap.
The sturdy clasp has been further augmented with a side safety clasp for an extra level of security. This bracelet only needed a light surface polishing and cleaning to prepare it for sale in our estate department. It remains in practically new condition. There are only a couple of very light dings on the sharp edges. The flat highly polished surface remains in dent-free condition. The bracelet measure 10.1 mm wide, 3.5mm thick, and just over 7 inches inside circumference. It is estate priced at $3,500.00 CAD. Stock #441-00203.

You’ve picked your partner (or maybe they picked you!) and now it’s time to pick the bands. If you’re looking for a classic pair of bands it’s harder to get more timeless than these. The 14 karat white gold pair are both 7mm wide with low dome profiles and very unique karat stamps; both display a European 585 instead of the North American 14 karat and their maker’s mark is a person seated in profile in some manner of prayer or meditation.
Both came in high polished but we opted for a bit of personality by satin finishing one, if you feel like changing the finish of either one of our in-house goldsmiths can accommodate most requests in a day or two. One band currently measures a finger size of 8 1/2 and weighs 6.5 grams, the other measures 7 1/2 and weighs 5.9 grams. Both sizes can be adjusted in-house!

This softly geometric solitaire is very well made with full shoulders and generous solid construction. It was originally sold in Canada by recently bankrupted now back in business Ben Moss Jewellers. One of the tell tale signs of mass production for the chain stores are hollow inside shoulders, thin shanks and generally light weight manufacturing. The hollowed out sections and light weight allow stores to cut costs and increase profits. This 3.4 gram 14 karat white gold engagement ring was left fully intact. Appropriately so as Ben Moss crowned the ring with a higher quality diamond than you’d normally encounter in the average mall store.
That 0.30 carat princess cut diamond is a bright and lively VS1-H quality of Canadian Maple Leaf origins. All Canadian diamonds have been laser engraved with a unique registered number and this example is no different. The elegant and understated solitaire is currently a finger size 5 1/2 with room to size up or down as needed. Estate price $980.00 CAD. Stock #e10623.
Platinum is an unusual metal for several reasons, the first (and one of its most sought-after features) is its heft, platinum is a denser metal than even gold, giving platinum an added bit of weight during wear. The second feature it’s prized for is its unique ability to stick to itself; when alloyed 10,14, and 18-karat gold gets scratched a tiny bit of gold is removed, but when platinum gets scratched the metal just gets pushed out of the way. This means that platinum can last many lifetimes whereas a similar item in gold will not.
Platinum also takes on a unique grey patina over time, we like to compare it to the timeless knight-in-shinning armor, once his metal is tested he proudly wears his dents and dings as proof of his valor. With wedding bands, platinum’s patina and propensity to hold its scars can be a lovely metaphor for the tests and challenges that make a marriage stronger. This pair of platinum bands are not a matched set and can certainly be sold separately, but we rarely get two in at one time so we are presenting them together. The smaller of the two is a low dome profile and spans 4.7mm wide, measuring a finger size 6 1/2. The larger is a two-tiered flat profile with comfort fit interior, spanning 7.4mm wide and measuring a finger size 9 3/4.
Both can be sized up or down as needed and changed from high polished to brushed, sandblasted, or any combination of finishes. They are being sold weight at a rate of $100 per gram. The smaller weighs 9.3 grams for $930.00 CAD and the larger weighs 18 grams for $1,800.00 CAD. Stock numbers 401-00215 and 401-00214.

Diamond bracelets have always been popular estate items. In fact, I wish we had more of them to offer but they don’t come in very often. So when one as pretty as this shows up it makes a welcome addition to our estate jewellery collection. The Art Deco design is very apparent with the geometric shapes found throughout. 17 old mine cut and European cut diamonds ranging in size from approximately 0.18 carats to over 0.30 carats are bead set along the entire length. With an average quality of SI2-I1-JK they sparkle with a unique combination of brilliance and dispersion only made possible by antique diamonds. Old mine cut and early European cut diamonds have very small table facets and tall crowns. This combination promotes the break up of light causing a more colourful display of sparkle when compared to a modern brilliant cut diamond. The 17.1 grams bracelet is of a standard 7-inch length. A tight fold-over clasp with a safety chain ensures the bracelet will stay on your arm. A December 2001 appraisal is included with purchase that describes the handmade bracelet estimating a total diamond weight of 5.75 carats. Our opinion of the total weight is a little more conservative at approximately 4.00 carats. Excellent condition showing no worn links or joints. Estate priced at $4,830.00 CAD. Stock #171-00025 e8921.
This ring looks like it’s come straight from the Tower of London thanks to its over-sized Mabe pearl center. The ring measures a head turning 20.3mm wide, taking over an entire digit during wear.
The high half dome pearl has almost a smoky body colour and displays a mostly blue and green orient with a bit of pink. The pearl has been collared with 26 SI-J quality round brilliant cut diamonds that equal about 0.50 carats in weight. The 9.7 gram ring is made from warm 14 karat yellow gold and currently measures a finger size 8 with room to adjust. Estate price $1,400.00 CAD. Stock #206-00224 e13332.
“Branding” is the new way jewellery and retail in general is being marketed to you the consumer public. Although we do carry some brand name items, we’ve always focused on the value of our offerings, not just promoting the latest trendy brand name. Educating clients and thoroughly explaining our products are details far more important to us than a slick marketing campaign or questionable sale promotions. Glacier Fire is the house brand for Canadian retail chain Charm Diamond Centres. This example is nothing but high quality as it was manufactured using premium 18 karat white gold and contains a very nice Canadian mined diamond.
The simple Lucida setting weighs 3.9 grams in its current finger size 5 3/4. It contains a beautiful 0.36 carat, SI1-G round brilliant cut diamond with an ideal cut, excellent symmetry and polish as described in the included International Gemological Institute report.
The diamond ring also comes with a lovely hinged wooden box containing an “ideal scope” loupe. This little tool allows a filtered magnified view of the “hearts and arrows” pattern all excellent cut round diamonds display. The November 2005 certificate of origin declares the diamond is a product of the Northwest Territories and entirely cut and polished in British Columbia Canada. A unique registered number appears on this certificate, the accompanying appraisal and has been permanently laser engraved on the girdle of the diamond.
The IGI’s idea of a replacement value as stated on the certificate of valuation is $3,250.00. The excellent condition ring looks great. All that is required to make it look like new is a fresh rhodium plating after it’s been sized (if necessary). We have the ring and all its accessories estate priced at only $1,400.00 CAD. Stock #e10754.
This swopping swirling decorative head is a graceful meditation in metal, drawing the eye towards the diamond that crowns the ring. Not that it needs much help, weighing in at an even 1.00 carat weight and a pleasant I1-I quality. The grade setting inclusions are only visible without magnification to the sharpest eye and under very close scrutiny.
For the normal-sighted, they will not be visible without magnification. The 14 additional diamonds that cascade down the ring’s shoulders are bright SI1-I quality and bump the ring’s total weight up to 1.50 carats.
The ring itself is in like-new condition, retaining its original rhodium finish over its 14 karat white gold. It currently measures a finger size 5 with a bit of room to adjust. The ring is accompanied by a GS Laboratories certificate stating an optimistic replacement value of $11,600.00 CAD.
We feel a realistic replacement value would be closer to $7,900.00 and our estate price $5,530.00 CAD. Stock #101-00407.
SOLD
This fashionable bracelet looks like it has never been worn before. There isn’t a scratch or scuff anywhere on the surface. The black rhodium accent plating around the chocolate brown diamonds is fully intact, even on the tips of the prongs. Perhaps the previous owner received this as a gift and the style wasn’t to their taste, or it might have been a spontaneous purchase while on holiday that is now a second thought. The 5.8mm wide overlapping braid style has been a popular with our customers in both white and yellow gold. It is quite striking in rose gold especially with the contrasting fancy brown and white diamonds.
The little bit of copper used in the gold alloy produces this flattering blush to what would normally be a typical 14 yellow gold. Rose gold may not be part of everyone’s fashion pallet, but many of us love the soft colour. As an added benefit, the small amount of copper blended with yellow gold results in a harder metal, perfectly suited for use in a hinged bracelet. Well made in 58.3% purity 14 karat gold, this sturdy bracelet weighs in at 11.7 grams including the 79 round brilliant cut diamonds of I1 clarity, HI colour (white diamonds) and fancy brown (chocolate diamonds).
All the diamonds have been hand set in four prong settings, that are much more secure than a shared prong set up. The bracelet is fastened by a white gold plunger clasp that provides better spring with more security than yellow gold. There are no witness marks on the white rhodium clasp tongue confirming that this bracelet has pretty much never or hardly been worn.
A side safety clasp supplies an extra level of insurance against accidental opening. The hinge is tight and the clasp snaps shut with a reassuring click. Like new and estate priced at $2,940.00 CAD. Stock #171-00110.
Our showcases sometimes resemble a jewellery museum, with pieces spanning from the 1800s to the modern day. Many of the oldest pieces are brooches simply because of the nature of their wear. Pined to hats, scarves, across collars, or the lapel of blouses a brooch undergoes the gentlest wear of any piece of jewellery. Making them perfect time capsules as they almost always come to us in like-new condition. The antique bar brooch we are showcasing today is the longest we’ve had, spanning 3.87 inches from pearl to pearl.
Now we know the oxy-acetylene torch wasn’t invented until 1903 and took about a decade to work its way into popular use in the jewellery industry. This invention is important in ageing jewellery because this super-hot torch was needed to cast and properly solder platinum. Prior to its invention platinum could only be used as a thin applique on top of gold. That this bar brooch is made from platinum indicates that it obviously can’t pre-date the popularization of the oxy-acetylene torch. The brooch is set with gently graduating old mine-cut diamonds, the precursor to the old European cut, which was the precursor to the modern round brilliant cut.
Of course, we all know new technology doesn’t spread evenly across the world (how many of you know someone who still has a VHS player?) so old mine-cuts and old European cuts co-existed in the jewellery world for decades, with old mine-cuts finally phasing out by the mid-1900s. Meaning the 4.50 carat total weight of SI-I1-G-J quality diamonds doesn’t really help us narrow down the age of this brooch. The three button pearls that bracket the 20 diamonds also don’t narrow things down as pearls have been a jewellery staple for centuries. Our best guess, looking at style and technique, is somewhere around 1910 to 1920, making this brooch at least 100 years old. Sleuthing aside the piece is stunning, throwing broad flashes of white and every-coloured light at the slightest movement! The brooch is equipped with a hinged pin secured by a C catch with an additional safety lock.
The piece is accompanied by a 2018 Harold Weinstein LTD. appraisal stating an estimated value of $16,000.00 CAD. Our estate price for this piece of jewellery history is $7,000.00 CAD. Stock #181-00026.
This style wedding set is a great way to get the look of a 1.25 carat centre stone for a fraction of the price. Almost every traditional jewellery store you visit will likely have a version of this design. The details vary from store to store, but the theme is the same. The sets are organized by the total diamond weight of both rings combined into 0.50-carat total weight, 1.00 carat, 1.50 carat, etc… They always feature channel-set accent diamonds and an oversized head comprised of four invisibly set diamonds. Our newest example is a tidy 1.00 carat total weight version.
All of the diamonds are well matched SI2-I1-J quality. The rings themselves are 14 karat white gold weighing in at 6.0 grams for the set. The 6mm x 6mm top section gives the appearance of a 1.25 carat solitaire in the most convincing way.
Only under extremely close inspection do you notice the top is actually four smaller stones. The engagement ring is undoubtedly showy, sitting 7.3mm of the finger at its head. The wedding band matches the 3.5mm width of the engagement ring, both rings currently measure a finger size 7 with room to adjust up or down a size or two. The rings are sold separately as a set only for the estate price of $1,610.00 CAD. Stock #101-00345.
Simple and modern looking solitaire diamond ring containing one bezel set round brilliant cut diamond weighing approximately 0.45 carat of I1-H and a good cut. The 18 karat setting is well made and weighs 4.9 grams. This ring comes with an appraisal dated November 2000 and suggests a rather high retail replacement value of $3,000.00. We feel its approximate replacement value would be closer to $1,725.00. We have it estate priced at $1,200.00 CAD. Stock #e6489.
We are honored to showcase for you one of the most spectacular antique estate items we’ve ever had. Any combination of the components in this pendant/brooch is worthy of our admiration but to have everything come together in such a significant way is truly remarkable. It dates from the early part of the 20th century and each and every old European cut diamond is original to the piece. They are all of very high VS1-G or better quality. The 51 diamonds are estimated to weigh a combined 3.40 carats. Antique old European cut diamonds are uncommon to see in such high colour grades like these as South Africa (the main source in the 1900s) produced mostly diamonds in the IJK….. range of colour.
The skill and craftsmanship executed are as good as it gets too. Beautiful and precise stone setting contouring to each and every individual diamond’s unique outline produce an endless frame of antique brilliance and dispersion. The scalloped edge, platinum milgrain frame is delicate and crisp showing no wear of any kind. The clever engineering of the bobble allows use as either a pendant or brooch. An integrated brooch back can be removed for use as an unobstructed pendant with the removal of a threaded screw.
The diamond set bail can quickly be disconnected for use as a statement making brooch on a jacket or blouse. Of course, the most amazing part of the item is the 11.25 carat Ceylon (Sri Lanka) sapphire. Big diamonds are beautiful, often quite valuable and are easily obtained if your budget allows, but just try to find another medium violet-blue sapphire of this size. Now factor in this stone is easily over 100 years old and original with an old cutting style.
Add to that the sapphire comes with the most respected gemological report in the world from the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) that describes this corundum (aka sapphire) as completely natural, lacking indications of heat treatment. The full report can be seen online here. Almost all sapphires have been artificially heated to clarify and intensify the colour to a more appealing hue. With that being said, most commercially available sapphires are dull, dark and overly saturated with an inky dark blue colour.
The GIA report goes on to say the origin of this stone is Sri-Lanka (formerly Ceylon), one of the most desirable locations know for producing exceptional sapphire specimens. The stone exhibits the classic signs gemologists look for in natural sapphires. Perfectly intersecting silky inclusions at 60 and 120 degrees and distinct colour zoning can easily be seen under darkfield magnification.
Excellent transparency, even colour distribution, very well cut and its striking medium violet-blue colour that is simply incredible.
Sapphires like this just don’t come around. This is an opportunity for a true connoisseur of fine antique jewellery or the rare gem collector. We’ve had this pendant for a couple of years squirrelled away. 2020 has been a difficult year for everyone. We thought we’d showcase this sapphire as inspiration for better times to come. When I look at it I can’t help but marvel at the beauty of nature and the high level of skill of the unknown jeweller that produced it. One can only imagine and wonder about the fabulous life of the previous owner(s) who were gifted its care. For anyone who wants to see a rare and exceptional sapphire, we invite you to come have a look. This irreplaceable 10 gram, platinum, pendant/brooch is accompanied by an October 2019 appraisal by respected Toronto appraisal service Harold Weinstein Ltd. and the original copy of the February 2019 GIA New York report.

Pear-shaped diamonds offer an affordable option compared to premium-priced round diamonds. They are at least 20% less expensive yet look larger because of their slender pointed shape. It’s pretty difficult to get a nice looking round diamond approaching 2/3 of a carat for anywhere near this sort of price. The simple 2.8 gram 14 karat yellow gold setting is a classic design that showcases the pear-shaped brilliant-cut with its tapering “tulip” shaped shoulders. It’s a less is more look in a refreshing shape that your friends won’t have. When the time comes for a wedding ring the flat-edged design will open up hundreds of possibilities for wedding rings. No need to pay a premium for a custom-made interlocking design. The estate price for this cautiously graded SI2-JK 0.65 carat pear-shaped diamond ring is only $1,575.00 CAD. Stock #101-00013.
The Masterpiece is a Rolex unlike any other. From the large 39mm case to the unique Pearlmaster bracelet, this rare Rolex makes no excuse for its jewellery bias. Where the basic 36mm Day-Date can be purchased without diamonds in gold or platinum, the Pearlmaster 39mm was only ever offered with at least a diamond dial and diamond bezel.
The solid link bracelet is a distinctive design that falls somewhere in look between the sporty Oyster style and the dressier Jubilee variety.
We’ve featured many estate Day-Date Rolex models over the years in various configurations, almost all have been 36mm in diameter with President bracelets. This is the first time we’ve ever been able to showcase the rare and illusive 39mm Masterpiece. This example dates from 2006 and is in excellent condition.
It still retains the green holographic case back sticker and clear protective sticker on the integrated buckle.
We were very tempted to give the polished case and bracelet a light refinishing but decided to leave it in its original condition. It has only occasionally been worn and shows zero wear in any of its 14 solid 18-karat links.
The bracelet retains its full complement of 5 adjustment links and the bracelet has never been removed from the case.
The bezel contains 40 of the finest quality natural diamonds available. The diamonds are much larger than what you’d find on any 36mm Day-Date from the factory. Each diamond has been expertly hand set in 4 bead settings.
Together the bezel diamonds weigh an estimated 2.40 carats. The uncommon silver dial has also been enhanced with 8 single-cut diamonds and 2 baguette-cut diamonds in 18-karat settings adding just a touch more sparkle. Some extra diameter and solid construction can easily be felt as this watch weighs in at a substantial 209 grams.
The high initial cost and short model run make seeing a 18948 Day-Date Masterpiece very rare. An old Rolex price list we have from 2004 shows the basic Masterpiece in tri-colour gold with a retail price of $56,900.00 compared to the entry-level $29,130.00 36mm Day-Date. At 39mm in size, these watches were mostly worn by gentlemen. As modern tastes shifted to larger watches, more and more ladies are now enjoying this size. With a short production run and limited numbers made the Masterpiece is a rare Rolex that we may never encounter again.
This watch was owned by a long-time customer of Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers who traded it in for something different. It does not come with any original documentation or packaging. It is running flawlessly and comes with our complimentary 1-year warranty. Stock #505-00426.
We don’t toss out the 3-star ***rare*** headline very often. Rolex Oyster Perpetual 5501 is quite rare but one with a white honeycomb dial is exceptionally rare. With collectible Rolex, the dial is practically everything. The dial on this one is very original and in very good condition.
These textured Explorer dials with gold markers are thought to have been exclusively produced for the Canadian market. Even so, we’ve never seen another example of this dial before and likely never will see one again. According to the previous owner the watch was used for about a decade and then left in a drawer for the next 40 plus years. The watch is running great despite being quite dry. If it is to be used regularly we suggest a full service to the original 25 jewel Rolex calibre 1530. This service will be performed at no charge to the new owner.
The long term storage story seems to make sense as the inside case back shows only one or two service records. When a watch is serviced the technician usually etches a code on the inside of the case. The inside shows the usual Rolex factory stamping with production date code (1st quarter of 1961) but almost no other etchings.
It’s nice to see an original watch movement that hasn’t been messed around with. The watch came to us in what we believe to be its original and equally rare burgundy red hinged Rolex box. As the legend goes this watch sat in the box unused since the late 1960s. The condition of the box is practically like new. The red velvet display card with the Rolex logo is crisp and sharp edged.
Submariner, Daytona, and GMT-Master are the Rolex watches that get all the headlines. The smaller size 34mm Explorer models have always been a watch for the hardcore collector. I’m sure there are more than a few collectors looking at this watch that never even knew something like this existed. The dressy Explorer dial with 14 karat gold fluted bezel (also in great condition) set it apart as one of the rarest models you’re likely to encounter.
We love the rare 7205 riveted bracelet with 57 end pieces. As was the Rolex practice during the 60s these bracelet links were assembled from flat and folded sections of sheet stainless steel riveted together. The hollow nature of the design made them somewhat fragile and prone to dents and wear of decades of use. As Rolex manufacturing techniques improved these original bracelets were replaced with solid link versions. Most vintage Rolex have had their original bracelets replaced with modern replacements over the years. The buckle on this bracelet is date stamped 1967. Its condition is quite good for 52 years old. Showing a small amount of stretch, a little sage, and not too much lateral movement.
Including a one year mechanical warranty, the watch is estate priced at $19,460.00 CAD. Stock #e11829.

The Rolex Air-King-Date was a favorite of thrifty Canadians since the model was introduced in the late 1950s until it was retired toward the end of the 1980s. It remains the only Air-King ever produced with an additional function to the simple 3 hand time display. From what we know, the Air-King-Date was only produced for the frugal commonwealth market.
It seems Canada and other commonwealth countries desired a date feature on our Rolex watches but didn’t want to pay up for a chronometer-rated mechanism that added extra cost. We see examples of these watches quite often around here but they are seldom encountered in major American and European markets.
This one is a local watch that was originally delivered in Toronto at an authorized Rolex in the summer of 1987. It remains in original, lightly worn condition. We don’t believe the watch has ever been refinished or polished. The sharp case and bracelet details are still crisp underneath the expected surface patina of light shallow scratches and scuffs associated with over 30 years of use.
The sturdy 13-link Oyster bracelet shows very little sag and no stretch.
The classic silver sunburst dial is absolutely perfect, there is not a blemish or stain to be seen. The no longer luminous tritium hour plots and 18-karat white gold hour markers are completely intact. The white gold hands appear original. The second hand shows some surface oxidation staining.
The threaded twinlock crown turns almost 2 full rotations before popping into the winding position.
The savvy Rolex collector will notice the vintage-look date ring with its “open” 6s and 9s. The bottom and top loops are not connected to the vertical component as you’d see on modern Rolex.
The buckle date code reads K9 which translates to an accepted 1986 production time. The 34mm case (34.4mm by actual measurement) is a versatile size suitable for men and women. This watch comes with its original endorsed warranty card, calendar card, and wallet.
The watch is running great and keeping very good time. Including a 1-year warranty (prorated 5 years), this uncommon Rolex is estate priced at $7,200.00 CAD. Stock #505-00379.
One of our favorite ring designs turned into a diamond bangle! The bypass style curls into a graceful wave crashing on to either side of the diamond trio. To keep that ellipse spirit the diamonds are sleekly two prong set. The trio equal 0.25 carats together of surprisingly high VS-H quality.
Keeping with that quality the bangle has been made from 11.2 grams of solid 14 karat yellow gold. It’s hinged on one side and oval in shape to ensure the bangle is always face up. The catch is an extra strong white gold tongue with additional safety lock for added security. Estate price $1,200.00 CAD. Stock #e12860 171-00010.

This is chain-making in extreme miniature! The basketweave of this 11.4mm wide band consists of 22 moving parts, each has been expertly hinged on three sides, allowing them to move up and down and side to side during wear. The yellow gold links and solid sizing section are highly polished, and the white gold links are brightly rhodium plated and feature a matte sandblasted finish.
The impressive ring weighs in at 10.6 grams of 14-karat gold and currently measures a finger size 7 1/2 with some room to adjust. The estate price for the like-new ring is $1,400.00 CAD. Stock #401-00198.

It’s amazing how many brand new never worn engagement rings come in to Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers for sale or trade. Adding insult to injury many of these rings were purchased at stores that would not refund the poor guys their money or even a portion of it. This brand new never worn example was made from 4.2 grams of 18 karat white gold in a finger size 6.5. Channel set in the shoulders are 6 tapered baguettes and 4 small round diamonds of VS-SI-HI quality totalling 0.28 carats. Secured in a six prong setting is a 0.38 carat round brilliant cut diamond of excellent cut and SI2-F quality. If you have a close look at the claw tips they appear a little yellowish. The slightly yellow colour is visible because when the centre diamond was set the claw tops were polished removing the rhodium plating. We will size and re-rhodium plate the entire ring at no charge for the purchaser. And yes if you don’t get the answer you’re hoping for a full refund will be given. Nobody does I DO like WE DO at Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers. Estate priced at $1,638.00 CAD. Stock #e8287.
I bet since 1958 we’ve sold close to 50,000 rings of every shape, size, and value. The most uncommon shaped of the traditional stone cuts is without doubt the heart. We’ve sold heart shaped diamonds from time to time, but we’ve never had one composed of three separate diamonds, custom cut to look like a heart when set touching each other.
The heart shaped halo frame of 20 small round diamonds convinces the viewer that the centre is grouping is just a single stone. The set comes ready to go with a complimentary wedding ring channel set with 15 diamonds of its own. Together the set contains 46 diamond estimated to weigh 0.75 carts in total of nice SI-I average quality.
They were crafted from 14 karat white gold, weigh 7 grams, in a finger size 7. One of our onsite goldsmiths can adjust the fit up or down a size or two. This set is of contemporary design and shows little to no wear. This unique ring is being offered as a matching set only. Estate priced at $1,100.00 CAD. You’d have a hard time finding an empty setting with no diamonds that weighed the same for just $1,100.00. Such is the great value offered by estate jewellery. Stock #101-00544.
Eaton’s was once Canada’s largest retailer, at one point the esteemed firm employed 70,000 and commanded 60% of all department store sales. They were a store that sold quality products for excellent no-haggle prices. You could buy everything from farm equipment to high-end jewellery from their very successful mailorder catalog.
You could even order small prefabricated houses from them; they would ship all the required components and plans right to your building site. Many of these homes are still standing today. For over 100 years Eaton’s defined the Canadian retail experience. Changing times and a changing economic environment led to the eventual bankruptcy of the iconic Canadian brand in 1999. Fond memories and the occasional consumer product are mostly all that’s left. Eaton was a great place to work and they rewarded their employees for long-term service. This rare 14-karat yellow gold Rolex Oyster was presented to a loyal employee for 25 years of service.
Earning one of these rare watches was a significant accomplishment for an Eaton employee and they were proudly worn as symbolic badges of honor. We’ve never encountered a single example that didn’t show patin acquired from years of use. Eatons had access to the finest jewellery workshops employing a wide range of expert craftsmen. They no doubt handled the beautiful hand engraving on the case back.
This 34mm model 5590 is powered by the 25 jewel Rolex calibre 1530.
This movement powered familiar Rolex watches like early Submariners and Air-King models.
Many watchmakers feel this old workhorse mechanism was one of the best ever created in terms of reliability, durability, and outright performance. When we received the watch, the movement only needed cleaning to get up and running with close to chronometer levels of accuracy.
The original crown and waterproof tube were worn and needed replacing. Rolex no longer supplies these parts for 60-plus-year-old models, but luckily there are aftermarket replacements that work and look the same except they are not signed with the Rolex TwinLock Logo.
The classic model is now running great and should be good for many more decades of reliable service. A brand new black, 19mm lizard strap has been fitted to the Oyster case and dresses up this presentation watch.
Other colours and styles are available if you’d like something a little more casual. Included with the purchase are the electronic timing report, original crown, waterproof tube, crystal, and an old tattered appraisal document for February 1995.
We are happy to supply the next owner with a complimentary 1-year warranty. This rare Rolex is estate priced at $5,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00414.

Many people only consider custom making a piece of jewellery when shopping for a unique engagement ring or wedding band, but custom work can be any number of pieces. Some of the most rewarding pieces we make start with a customer’s simple sketch on a scrap of paper. As our customers are not professionally trained jewellery illustrators the sketch rarely reflects the image they see in their heads. Our goldsmiths and designers work with them to flush out their design and the results are just as thrilling for us as they are for our customer. This 60.0mm long by 38.6mm wide Celtic inspired cross was a spare in a series we made and was subsequently traded back making it a brand new, never worn addition to our estate department. A welcome addition as the 7.6 gram 14 karat yellow gold cross is very well made (if we do say so ourselves), equipped with a substantial bale strong enough to last a lifetime of constant wear. Estate price $1,628.00 CAD. Stock #436-00021 e10040.

The Figaro link for chains and bracelets continues to be a popular choice in both new and estate. They offer a little more visual interest with smaller and large link patterns compared to a uniform size curb link style. This one also showcases a bright cut flat edge that catches the light. Solid construction in upgraded 14 karat yellow gold results in a finished weight of well over half an ounce (16.6 grams). As I’m typing this posting (Dec 18th 2024), gold is touching $3,762.00 CAD per ounce. At that price this bracelet contains over $1,171.00 in just its gold content. The bracelet measures 8 1/2 inches long, 6.5mm wide, and is quite thick at 2.0mm.
It is secured by an upgraded riveted lobster clasp, most are simply pinched together. We’ve seen the spring loaded sections of pinched clasps slide out occasionally; this type can’t slide out offering better security.
One of our goldsmiths can shorten in for the perfect custom fit. It is suitable for a man or woman. Estate priced at $1,680.00 CAD. Stock 441-00316.

Something for everyone has always been our goal and our estate offerings allow us the flexibility to realize that goal. Where else would you come across a diamond cross of this magnitude? At 8.0cm by 4.8cm it is one of the largest we’ve had and weighs in at an appropriately hefty 33.6 grams. The white gold cross is hand set with 128 round brilliant and round single cut diamonds all of I2-J quality. They come together to equal an estimated total diamond weight of 2.00 carat. They extend onto the flexible bail ready to fit over almost any chain as its opening measures 17.0mm by 8.7mm.

As of this update (Sept. 16th. 2025) the price of gold closed at a new record of $5,076.00 CAD per ounce. At that price, this item contains $2,270.00 in just the recyclable gold content not to mention the value of the diamonds. If no one realizes the incredible value of this diamond cross, we’ll end up recycling it very soon.

Not all hollow jewellery is equal, and weight is the easiest way to separate the good from the bad. This hollow rope chain has enough substance in its 18.4 grams to create a surprising heft when you pick it up. At 4.4mm wide and an extra-long 26 inches, it’s sure to be a head-turning accent. The chain is equipped with a heavy lobster clasp and sturdy jump ring ends. Estate price $3,120.00 CAD. Stock #431-00136 e14032.

We always strive to bring our customers strong value when it comes to our new and estate inventory. We include every necessary piece of information to determine and compare our prices to anything else online or in store. Many vendors omit key details that make it impossible to determine the value of their offerings, it is rare to actually see a weight of a gold chain or bracelet online. Sometimes international events can affect currencies and pricing that further enhance the value of commodity based products such as jewellery. Our latest estate bracelet is a great example of a jewellery item that is heavily influenced by the cost of gold. Manufacturing plays a roll and the need to make a profit and stay in business contribute to the ultimate price, but it’s the basic cost of gold that is the driving factor determining the price for something like this bracelet. This solid curb link bracelet is rather weighty at 47.7 grams. It measures 7 3/4 inches long, if you have a large wrist this one may be a little tight. It is 12.2mm wide and 2.5mm thick.
A clever fold over clasp incorporates into the link pattern with little disruption.
At today’s gold price (Aug. 16th, 2025) of $4,610.00 CAD per ounce, this bracelet contains a $4,124.00 in just gold content and around $20.00 of fine silver alloy. As a very good condition estate item we have it priced at $5,400.00. It displays some surface scratches and scuffs that can easily be removed while you wait, but you’ll loose a few tenths of a gram in weight to the polishing wheel. When it comes to retaining value on any gold item, it is best to retain as much weight as possible. Stock #441-00308.

Boasting over 60 years of experience in the jewelry industry combined, Gabriel Gelin and Sam Abaci founded the jewellery company Gelin Abaci in 1969. Renowned for their high-quality engineering and their unique tension setting technique, Gelin Abaci designs contemporary jewellery pieces where the stones are held in place by pressure.
Suitable for certain hard stones like diamonds, this technique involves holding the stones in place using compression rather than traditional prongs or bezels. This unique setting style, which applies approximately 65 to 95 pounds of pressure to the diamond, emphasizes its brilliance and creates the illusion of a “floating” diamond.
Our estate example features a striking, 0.60 carat heart-shaped diamond centre stone that is GIA-certified with SI1 clarity and F colour (GIA #6137286686).
For extra sparkle and elegance, the romantic heart-shaped centre stone is flanked by 2 high-quality round shoulder diamonds also of SI1 clarity and F/G colour (0.31 total carat weight) as well as an additional 6 round bead set accent diamonds (also 0.31 total carat weight) of VS/SI clarity and G/H colour.
At a substantial weight of 8.2 grams, the 14 karat white gold band ensures both durability and a luxurious feel. Currently size 5.5 with a possibility to size down only.
Comes with a 2013 Gem Lab Appraisal Report suggesting a retail value of $8,950.00.
Our estate price is $2,750.00 CAD. This exquisite designer ring is ideal for someone who values contemporary design, GIA-certified quality, and a symbolic heart-shape for an engagement or anniversary gift. Stock #101-00583.

We have dozens of new and estate anniversary rings like this. From small light 10 karat gold with 0.10 carats of diamonds to over 5.00 carats of total diamonds weight 18 karat gold versions. They come in a style and a budget to suit everyone. I selected this example because the 14 small diamonds are very high quality (VS-GH) and twinkle way more than the 0.17 carats total weight would suggest. The simple 2.6 gram 14 karat white gold setting measures 2.9mm wide in a finger size 5.5. Bead setting allows more light and more sparkle than the channel set alternative setting style. Perfect condition showing no measurable wear. It could also be used a wedding ring, it’s flat edge will fit many different engagement ring designs. Estate priced at $490.00 CAD. Stock #e8902.
An ever so slightly more decorative version of the traditional marine link, mixing things up with two bars per link instead of one. Yes, it’s a bold move but fashion is for the brave. If you’re feeling up to the challenge this 9.1mm wide by 8 1/2 inch long bracelet is quite the statement. Partially due to its white gold nature, a rarely encountered gold colour in heavy gents pieces. Too bad as the contemporary tone stands out more during wear. This piece is solidly constructed from 32.1 grams of 14-karat white gold that retains most of its original chromy rhodium finish. The clasp is a sleek hinged lobster clasp that locks into a sturdy stylized end cap. The estate price for this like new piece is $3,600.00, CAD. Stock #e13222 441-00056.

As of this updated posting, the price for an ounce of gold is over $5,570.00 CAD. While you may think that is great news for jewellers, the truth is the input costs alone for producing jewellery are getting out of reach for many consumers by the time merchandise reaches display showcases. Our latest bracelet is a great example of the dilemma we are facing. This premium quality 18 karat gold bracelet weighs nicely over an ounce and is made from 75% pure gold worth over $4,250.00 in just gold content. This means we could simply scrap it and walk away with well over $4,000.00. If you had to buy a new one from the manufacturer, the cost would be around $5,500.00 (at wholesale). By the time the retailer applied a reasonable markup, expect to see a price of at least $7,000.00 for it; and the market for a $7,000.00 gents gold bracelet is much smaller than you’d imagine. It is easy to scrap things like this and move on, but we feel that would be a shame because many beautiful items such as this would then be gone forever and not be enjoyed. This bracelet measures 7.9mm wide and just over 8 1/2 inches long.
It will easily fit most women’s wrists or a slimmer gentleman. We gave it only a light polish to preserve the original finish, and retain as much gold as possible too. Ever time you polish your jewellery you lose a little gold. Even if you only lost 0.1 gram of 18 karat gold every time you polished your jewellery, you’d be losing $13.00 in gold at today’s gold price! We’re hoping to find this bracelet a new owner and not just melt it down into a pretty puddle. With that in mind we are offering the bracelet for just 15% above its salvageable metal content. If you’ve always wanted a high quality, well made, heavy bracelet, this one is a great value at only $4,900.00 CAD. Stock #441-00394.

From the less is more playbook comes this super simple wedding ring by Tiffany. This is about as basic as it gets for a gentleman’s wedding ring. Understated but all quality from the second you feel it. Highly polished smooth finish and just 2.6mm in width but with a very tall profile of 2.5mm. It’s about the same gauge as round coat hanger wire but far more dense and white. Despite the width, this ring is deceptively hefty weighing over 7.3 grams. That’s one of the great features of platinum, its density. In Tiffany form of 95% purity with a touch of alloy to make it harder, this form of platinum is heavier that any karat of gold, even pure gold weighs less.
Sometimes we like to pick on Tiffany because it’s hard for us to get our heads around the price of some their jewellery, verses the actual value of precious metal it contains. Not so with this ring, at today’s platinum price (June 26th, 2025), this ring contains $435.00 in just recyclable metal content yet the Tiffany’s retail price for this ring is only $1,650.00. A less than 4 to 1 ratio of precious metal verses retail price is better value than many generic rings of this style you’d see at your local mall jewellery store. This ring measures a size 9 1/2 but can be sized up or down to fit practically anyone. The ring is in very good condition showing only minor signs of wear. We decided not to aggressively polish the inside and lower shank edge to in order maintain the crisp Tiffany signature and quality marking that is stamped inside the ring.
This is a current design (Product number: 72538749) available for purchase at your local Tiffany store for $1,800.00 CAD. Our estate example is priced at just $850.00 CAD. Stock #401-00300.

Custom made right here in Barrie by Jeff Walters Jewellers and now it’s looking for a new home. Both rings look perfect showing zero wear of any kind. The claws and channels should be good for several decades under normal use. Well made in a finger size 5.25 from 5.3 grams of 14 karat white gold the rings contain 23 nice quality round brilliant cut diamonds. The engagement ring holds a 0.38 carat diamond of I1-F quality with a very good cut. It’s the superior cut that really makes the centre sparkle. Channel set along the shoulders and in the wedding ring are an additional 22 diamonds of SI2-I1-GH quality.
Although these rings have been previously enjoyed you’d never know it. We have professionally cleaned and refinished them to a bright flawless polished finish. If you’re not a size 5.25 no problem, our onsite goldsmiths can adjust them up or down as required in just a day or so. As good as new and read go except at about half of the original price and this time they’ll come in a Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers box. Being sold as a set only for the estate price of $1,750.00 CAD. Stock #e9344.
A more modern version of a traditional solitaire. The 0.43 SI2-H pear-shaped brilliant cut diamond is secured by a channel and prong setting strengthened by the yellow gold bar running through the bottom of the head. It really looks good and is easily matched with a flat edge wedding ring. The ring weighs 4.2 grams and is estate priced at $1,180.00. Stock #101-00163.
It’s been a while since we posted a colourful opal, so we thought we’d do it in style with an excellent example of a boulder opal with a very good play of colour in the green/blue range of hues.
While not a true black opal, the appearance between black and boulder opal can over lap. Boulder opal are more valuable than common white opal and usually less expensive than a true black opal. Black opals are coloured by trace elements of iron and carbon causing the dark colour. Boulder opal can easily be spotted by a layer of solid dark brown ironstone that is intentionally left on the back of the stone to provide contrast to the body colour. The ironstone base of this opal is clearly through the back of the ring.
Don’t confuse and don’t be confused by someone representing an assembled opal doublet or triplet as a natural black or boulder opal. By the measurements of 14.5mm x 8.2mm x 3.8mm and formula, we estimate this opal weights 2.50 carats. It displays an almost complete colour shift from medium purplish blue to a bright slightly yellowish green as the ring is moved.
High quality opals have a life of their own and are captivating to observe. The swirling style ring is the perfect compliment for a colourful opal. The opal has been accented with a white gold crown setting on each shoulder containing what we believe are white quartz gems. 3.8mm natural diamonds would have provided more sparkle but would have added hundreds of dollars extra cost to the ring. We can add a couple of nice estate diamonds, leave the quartz in place, or remove them completely as this beautiful opal doesn’t need anything else to be the star of the show.
The ring is well made and in very good condition. The opal remains in excellent condition displaying very good polish with no scratches. One of our onsite goldsmiths can adjust the fit as required up or down a finger size or two. This artistic custom creation is estate priced at $1,999.00 CAD. Stock #206-00592.

A deep seated bias for baguette cut diamonds makes this unusual eternity ring an absolute favorite from our current estate collection. You’ll really have to see this band in person to understand. The sleek and subtle optics of the step cut diamonds work so well channel set end to end without any gaps. 17 extremely well matched baguettes light up in bright white and rainbow coloured flashes. The diamonds are made all the more striking between heavy channels of calm, understated 14 karat yellow gold. Part of what makes the 1.50 carat total diamond weight so striking is their high VS-GH quality. The diamonds show no colour or inclusions to the unaided eye. Currently the 3.1 gram ring measures a finger size 5 3/4 with limited room to adjust. The estate price for this glass slipper of a wedding/anniversary ring is $2,660.00 CAD. Stock #121-00110 e11349.
Here’s your chance to get a pretty Canadian diamond engagement ring, wedding ring and a matching anniversary ring all for less than the replacement value of the engagement ring alone. This style engagement ring has been a popular choice for a few years. The centre diamond weights 0.34 carat with an excellent cut that really shows off the nice H colour. A clarity grade of SI2 is based on a white crystal inclusion that falls just within the table border that is visible only with a little magnification. Two matching wedding rings have been soldered together on the bottom forming a sleeve that fits snuggly over the engagement ring completing the fully dressed looked. 16 additional channel set brilliant cut diamonds of SI2-I1-HI quality contribute to the 0.58 carats of estimated total weight. The centre diamond has been laser engraved with the image of a maple leaf and a unique serial number identifying its origin from the North West Territories in Canada. The 14 karat white gold set weighs 7.6 grams in a 5.5 finger size. Excellent overall condition. Only a quick polish and fresh rhodium plating will have it looking identical to new. Being sold as a set only for the estate price of $1,440.00. Stock #e9007.
They are more than just a diamond hoop or a simple drop earring, this pair does a great job at being glamorous in a modest and easy to wear size.
Diamond earrings continue to be one of our most popular estate jewellery categories. This pair is very clever, looking like a 1.00 carat single stone drop at the bottom of each hoop. The drop sections each actually contain 9 smaller diamonds that overlap each other leaving no empty spots to reveal the illusion. The four decorative claws further reenforce the mimicry and are nothing more than ornamental.
As a finishing touch all the gold areas around the diamonds have been rhodium plated to a brilliant white finish. The 34 round brilliant cut diamonds used in the 4 sections total an estimated weight of 0.75 carats. They are well matched and of better quality than typically seen in most multiple stone designs, SI clarity and HI colour. The earrings are secured by easy to use hinged locking posts, always lined up and no fussy friction backs to keep track of.
The decorative filigree gallery is a nice touch that doesn’t serve any purpose other than to look pretty.
These earrings are made from close to 3.5 grams of upgraded 14 karat gold. Excellent condition and estate priced at $1,320.00 CAD. Stock #151-00364.

Somebody went and put our favorite underdog diamond cut into a tennis necklace; baguettes! And they used them the way they were designed to be used, in undulating ribbons of diamonds, unlike anything the fabric industry has ever achieved. This glimmering ribbon is edged with delicate stitching of petite round brilliant cut diamonds.
The 366 round diamonds are all of SI-I1-GH quality, their kaleidoscope of sparkle creates the perfect contrast to the baguettes. Set tightly against each other the 147 tapered and graduated baguettes shimmer brightly in time to the wearer’s breath. They’ve been gifted with high VS-SI-FG quality to keep them free of eye-visible inclusions that would mar their intensity. The necklace measures 16 inches long and has been fabricated from 32.5 grams of brightly rhodium plated solid 18 karat white gold. Its back half was left plain, to focus its almost 10.00 carats total diamond weight across the throat. The necklace is secured with a hidden box catch and two additional safety locks for peace of mind during wear.
In like-new unworn condition, the necklace is accompanied by an AGL Appraisal stating an estimated retail replacement value of $29,200.00 CAD.
We feel a more competitive replacement value would be around 50% less at $14,575.00 CAD, and our estate price for this beautiful necklace is $10,200.00 CAD. Stock #161-00181.

Despite the vintage motif of this ring, it is in completely unworn condition, looking just as it would have in its original showcase. The 6 integrated prongs extend to the raised white gold ring top, burying the diamond under protective white gold. The precise machine finish on the shoulders is untouched, contrasting the brilliance of the diamond. Polished and brushed rhodium/white gold, and the luxurious warmth of the 10 karat yellow gold, much more yellow than you’d expect from a 10 karat alloy give the ring a much more expensive look.
The diamond itself weighs 0.13 carat of I1-K quality. The 6.6 gram ring is Canadian-made and currently measures a finger size 11 with room to adjust. Our estate price for the unworn gent’s ring is $720.00 CAD. Stock #118-00062.

There is no way to identify the name of this complex bracelet link design. Once again, leave it to the Italians to produce a complicated link shape like this. The yellow gold side sections are formed from an elongated curb link design that has been turned on its edge. They are connected by a solid ingot of white gold that has been precisely soldered in the centre. Viewing the bracelet from the top displays a yellow gold “landau bar” repeating pattern with reflective flashes from the polished white gold ingots. Each link section is tightly hinged with virtually no play in the joints.
Chain/bracelet making doesn’t get any better than this. The oversized lobster clasp features a white gold rivet that will resist wear from the steel spring hidden inside much better than yellow gold.
The bracelet looks to be in unworn condition. At 8 1/2 inches long and 8mm wide it was likely produced with a gentleman in mind.
We can remove a few links to fit a lady’s wrist. The bracelet weighs 1.2 troy ounces (37.5 grams) and has been expertly crafted from ungraded 14 karat gold. This unique piece of jewellery is estate priced at $3,850.00 CAD.

People often ask us how much do lab-grown diamonds cost. Well that really depends on where you buy them. Despite what online sources and retail stores are selling them for, the truth is they only cost around 2% of what an equivalent natural diamond does (at a wholesale level). Just to give you idea of just now cheap lab-grown diamond are, we just did a search for a lab-grown diamond the same as our estate natural and found 9 examples the same or bigger and better for under $183.00 USD!!! This is our regular retail price plus shipping.
They are so cheap they really have become a separate and distinct market from natural diamonds. It is thought that natural diamonds are between 1 to 3 billion years old and can take millions of years to form deep within the earth. The majority of modern lab-grown diamonds on the other hand are made in just a few days in factories in China and India. We are happy to show you both natural or lab-grown diamond options if you are thinking of buying, but our hearts will always hold a special place for the miracle of a natural diamond.
Our latest estate natural diamond is this very good quality 1.20 carat pear shaped brilliant cut of very nice VS2-F quality.
This ring is under a year old and is in like new condition. The GIA report was produced exactly one year ago to the day.
The American made setting is thin and delicate made in finger size 4 1/2. It has a very fashionable skinny shank measuring just 1.8mm wide and contains 18 tiny round brilliant cut natural diamonds of SI-GH quality weighing a combined 0.15 carat.
This ring can easily be sized up a few sizes if you have a more average sized finger. It will compliment any wedding/anniversary ring with a flat edge, no need to get an expensive custom made ring to match. While natural diamonds like this have seen pricing pressure in recent years they don’t appear to be going anywhere. Natural diamonds are very expensive to find and extract, new diamond mines are not coming on stream because of this. As long as there is demand for natural diamonds there are very good opportunities to purchase them for excellent values right now, especially if you consider an estate diamond. This high quality natural estate diamond ring is priced not much more than what many stores are selling lab-grown versions for. Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers always offers true value on everything we offer. This ring is a great example of that for the estate price of $5,970.00 CAD. Stock #101-00623.

Elevate your jewelry collection with these exquisite Italian-crafted dangle earrings. In many parts of the world, especially across Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Europe, gold is deeply ingrained in cultural, religious, and economic traditions. In these cultures, a high value is placed on gold purity and lower karat gold, such as 10-karat (which contains only 41.7% pure gold), is often considered costume jewellery or not “real” gold at all. This cultural preference for higher karat gold isn’t just aesthetic – it’s about value, status, and authenticity. Lower karat gold simply doesn’t hold the same prestige, resale value, or spiritual meaning, and may not even be accepted by local jewellers or gold buyers.
It is likely for these reasons that these Italian “fashion” earrings, featuring a graceful cascade of coloured glass stones from light purple, to light blue and then dark blue are crafted from luxurious Italian 18-karat yellow gold (75% pure gold content by weight) at 10.35 grams total weight including stones. They are secured by sturdy European backs with a large 5.7mm disc to distribute the spring pressure.
Designed to captivate, the delicate dangle movement adds a touch of charm and fluidity, making them perfect for both daytime and evening wear. If these are a little much at 8.2 cm in total length, we could easily remove the bottom section and buy the left over gold to lower the overall cost. A striking example of timeless Italian craftsmanship combined with contemporary flair. Estate priced at $410.00 CAD. Stock #211-00200.
