She is really kind and helpful and I appreciate the mask wearing and sanitation as well to keep everyone safe. This is such a fantastic place- I just wish I'd known about it sooner! Lindsay

Looking in from the street, one could imagine that this is a high fashion jewellery store with some steep price tags. Surprisingly, everything in there is reasonably priced to fit anyone's budget. I myself am not someone who is big on wearing or buying jewellery, however after experiencing Raul's (the co-owner) passion towards hand-crafted jewellery from around the world, the stories behind each piece, the details & uniqueness... even I left this store with a couple sets of earrings for a lady friend. This jewellery store is bright, clean and laid out in a easy to browse manner so you don't miss any original pieces. I would highly recommend this jewellery store to anyone who likes buying items were they know they'd be one of the only person wearing it. And as a male who's not huge into jewellery, this is a place where you can make a purchase (as a gift) feeling confident that it'll be well received for the lucky someone you intended on giving it to. If you're a lady, you can expect to spend a significant amount of time in here deciding on which piece you really want! Better yet, just get both/all of them! They'll look fabulous on you ;-) There are even 2 games you can play with Raul in an attempt to get a percentage off of your purchase. Good luck; you'll need it!

For any Vancouverites out there, you will understand this reference: this store is very similar to…read morethe "Circle Craft" store in Granville Island, and a bit like the "Make It" store there, too. This is a higher-end boutique that showcases the handmade works of local artisans: jewelry, paper goods (greeting cards, stationery), lotions and potions, candles, soaps, gourmet foods, some textile goods (knitted works, scarves, etc.), prints, household gift ideas (ceramic trays, small pottery pieces), and more, much much more. I always loved shopping local and supporting local artisans, so stores like this really speak to me. I really liked how there were posted informational cards throughout the store, talking about all the artists who created the pieces. When you shop here, you know you aren't getting a mass-produced item. It feels more "personal" when you get something made by hand by an artist you know something about. As is usually the case, one pays a premium for hand-made artistic pieces. The prices here are high, as they always are for artisan works. But I think it's worth it.

This may be my favorite store in all of Victoria. For real…read more Whoever does the buying for this store needs some recognition. The selection of gift ideas and greeting cards and jewelry and kitchen gadgets and house accessories is bloody amazing. My friend who lives in Victoria visits this store regularly and when I visit, we come here and literally, we could spend hours here. There's so many unique and curated items, stuff I've not seen elsewhere, and the staff are super nice to boot. I personally love stationery stores, and I can attest, this store has a vast, vast selection of greeting cards - some traditional but many witty and/or twisted (which I appreciate!). There are fancy soaps and lotions, and gourmet chocolates, and jewelry made by local artisans, ands much more. I spent a ton of money on cards here (note: it's always a good sign when you hear people laughing aloud in the card aisles!), and I also got a few chocolate and fruit logs that were packaged to look exactly like salami (I thought these would be awesome on a dessert "charcuterie" board, and as a gift to a foodie friend too). I found colorful silicone twist ties and baggie clips, and some unique gifts for my kids (one who is a falconer and a "birder", the other who's into jewelry) and for some gourmand friends, too. Seriously, you'd be hard-pressed not to find something for everyone on your Christmas list, or as a hostess or birthday gift here. Oh, and their doormats are great, too. My friend found the perfect mat for her new home here.

This little charm put a huge smile on her face and it is one of the items I saw when I was at the store last month...(second of July 2019 that is.) This little charm completes the set I bought for her. I also saw the Canadian Maple Leaf in the store. I found myself wanting to wear one of them. This and one other item would complete a look that has come into my mind. In case your wondering, it's a ring, but it is not from the jade store. Nevertheless, it will be cool. This is the first item I have bought from The Jade Store, but it will not be the last. The one draw back that I have found ordering by smartphone is that the webpage is very slow. It took several trys to get to the pages I wanted, but found it. I will be ordering the medium size maple leaf this Friday. I look forwards to acquiring one soon. I can then carry around a small piece of Canada...Victoria Canada to be exact.

After checking with the hotel and places we'd been, I called the store, asked if the ring had possibly been turned in, and if not, was there another we could buy. Ali (sp?) the store manager said no it hadn't but told me she would mail a replacement out at no charge. Knowing that it being lost was most certainly my own fault, I said we would pay for it to which she replied no she wanted to send it no charge. So not only a really cool little store with great staff, their after sales customer care was outstanding. Where do you ever get that kind of service? Thank you again Whirled Arts in Fantan Alley and of Ali herself.
