Imagine stepping into a world where elegance, sophistication, and quality intertwine seamlessly. That's the essence captured in the phrase "Jewels of Elegance," adorning the paper foil tag of Sherman jewelry. Gustave Sherman stands as the pinnacle of Canadian costume jewelry.




From 1947 to 1981, in the heart of Montreal, Quebec, Sherman crafted a legacy of uniquely designed, high-quality jewelry, setting the standard for elegance in every piece. With a keen eye for subtle shades and a masterful balance of size and movement, Sherman's creations exuded unmatched allure.

Using only the finest Swarovski crystals, and later on, unique art glass stones, Sherman spared no effort in crafting designs that demanded attention, often embellishing his pieces with an abundance of stones and finishing them with double plating for lasting brilliance. What's more, Sherman's commitment to customer satisfaction knew no bounds, offering a "no questions asked" free repair service for all his jewelry. Stories exist of Sherman going above and beyond, from completely remaking bracelets to repairing competitors' broken pieces out of sheer goodwill.
