I am glad you dropped by to check us out. My name is Nimet, and I have been in business for 30 odd years. I owned a few Belgian Chocolate stores before I dived into the jewellery business around 15 years ago. I am the owner of Elysee jewellers Montreal.
I was born in Tanzania, which is the home of THE beautiful Tanzanite. I lived the better part of my childhood in Arusha, near the Tanzanite mine. My love for gemstones and jewellery started when my husband gave me many beautiful coloured-stone jewellery items from his travels for which I was incapable of determining the origin of certain gems. I took courses in gemology, and I fell in love with gems and jewellery. I then sold my chocolate business and started a jewellery store that specialized in coloured stones and pearls ! I ran my own jewellery store for the past 15 years here in Montreal and am now transitioning into an online store.
I am a certified gemologist FCGmA (Fellow of the Gemmological Association of Canada) and a FGA (Fellow of the Gemmological Association of Great Britain). In addition, I am a member of the AGTA (American Gem Trade Association). I also continue to upgrade my education on a regular basis, so I can always provide my customers with the most knowledgeable service.
I travel extensively to gem and jewellery shows to find the best gems for my clients. My team creates unique designer jewelry from my acquisitions. We also do a lot of custom jewellery orders, so please do not hesitate to discuss your specific dream piece with us.
My wonder team consists of an in-house gemologist, a couple of goldsmiths, a jewellery appraiser and on-contract jewellery design specialists. We also appraise estates and do jewellery remodeling. If your jewellery ever needs repair, contact us. We would love to help.
Please feel free to scroll through my website and send me your questions and comments. I would love to hear from you. Kindly leave me your contact information so I can reply to you.
Since we have a lot of big plans to come, do bookmark our site so you can be the first to know of exciting new jewellery creations.
Luv ya
