I last visited Stones Jewellery Store back in 1993, I then purchased a beautiful unique design pair of opal earrings. I recently had a big birthday coming up and had not been able to find that special piece of jewellery that I wanted in my home town. We decided to take a trip to Victoria Island and see if I could find another piece of jewellery, at this store again. I did, a lovely citrine and diamond ring. We dealt with a very knowledgeable manager called Brandon, we spent 2 hours with Brandon and nothing was too much trouble for him, he showed me lots of unique pieces, answered all our questions. Brandon is definitely an asset to your company. Thank you

I saw the store while driving by, and I just parked and went in. Waw! What assortment of great hats! From top hats to tucks in all materials, colours and shapes. They are top quality products and you pay for what you get, but I’m sure this cap will last me for many many winters to come.

Rogers' has a wide selection of Canadian-made chocolates. They make excellent small (or large) gifts. My best friend loves the ice wine truffles; my favorites are the sea-salt caramels.
