There isn't much they don't make themselves here at Le Forgeron D'or. The watches and some of the…read morediamond. But what they do make will make you swoon if you have a love of unique jewelry. Let me just say this isn't your cookie cutter jewelry you're going to find in a regular shop. This is big, this is bold, this is original. The shop owner was absolutely lovely even after I told her I couldn't afford a thing she was selling. The story may have been different at the height of tourist season but hell, it was November. She let me try on two rings that ran over $600 each. Then she asked me if I wanted to try on a $15,000 ring. I said hell no! But my friend did and I think she swooned a little. So I have decided that one day when (if) I grow up, I am buying myself a ring here. Just because.

This place is amazing! My kids were entranced by the exquisite gems and fossils -- it is like a…read moremuseum. There were also small, affordable stones the kids could buy, as well as some very reasonably priced, elegant jewelry made from a wide variety of gems.

This is an amazing shop for anyone interested in fossils, stones, gemstones and minerals. I was…read moreentralled and my youngsters, ages 7 and 9, could not leave. They had jewelry as well. It's one of three sort-of affiliated shops in Place-Royale. The salespeople were really great and tolerated an endless tirade of questions from my kids. You will not leave without buying something.

The price is very decent considering its original art work and all hand crafted. There are souvenir stores down the road charging almost the same $$ for much lesser quality accessories that are clearly not handmade. The store is very clean and brightly lit and I particularly enjoy that each artist has a section with some cards you can take that have their information on it. If you are traveling into the city, be sure to support the local artists!!

Found in the Quartier du Petit Champlain shopping district in famed "old Québec" City, you'll find…read morea store that has carved out quite a nice -- and unique -- niche, in an area with stores trying to find one amongst the throngs of international shoppers. Artnika is no gift shop: it's here to sell and support the creations of artists and artisans both local and international. Artnika is relatively new, having being established by Yolanda Santos and her daughter Gisel Campos Santos in 2013. It is definitely a lovely place. There are so many items, I can't do it justice here. But, I'll give you a few of their offerings that caught my eye. They have handcrafted jewelry .... if you're into originality and hues that POP, you've come to the right place. If you're into purses, you'll be hard-pressed to leave without one, as their offerings provide a rainbow of colors. I was particularly drawn to some of their wood items, especially their watches made of wood. Yes, you heard that right, watches made of wood! (Don't worry, you won't get splinters as the watchbands are made of leather!) Then, the art! There are tons of framed paintings. While "a little bit of everything" would be an apt description, I would say there is somewhat of a focus on cities and cityscapes. Still, you'll find children, animals, nature, etc., in several depictions Artnika is selling. There's also a strong focus on the Québécois artists. For one, I was drawn to both the beauty and humor of long-time local ceramist Pauline Pelletier's clay sculptures of cats, birds, and other animals. She seems to love color, shape, and shimmer (many of the faces are masked in a gold-like substance). The focus is quality at Artnika, so don't expect a ton of bargains. For example, they sell 3-Dimensional cards by Swing Cards. They move, they pop, they are amongst the most intricate cards I've ever seen. And they are $10 a pop. Pricey, but totally worth it, especially for your kids. You may not be looking for art in Québec City. Or, better said, you didn't know you were looking for art ... until to stopped at Artnika!

Emailed the store and they said I could ship it back to them, they would repair the damage that they claimed was probably my fault and they would charge me and ship it back, all at my expense. Not even remotely worth my while. I'll take it to my local silversmith and see if he can fix it. Do not recommend, especially if you are from out of Province.

They were very friendly and unpretentious, like everyone else I met in Canada. What caught my eye is a 1939 Kalamazoo guitar, made by Gibson. It's in great condition for it's age. He was asking a lot for it, but it's a time capsule. 1930's Gibsons and Martins are the holy grail. These often need expensive restoration, but this is a nice one, no cracks, etc. Someone like me, but much wealthier, is going to love it.
