A year in the making, 's breathtaking Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»boutique (only the second standalone in Canada for the Swiss jeweller) was worth the wait.
Set on West Georgia Street across from the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, the shop, according to the company's vice-president of global sales Philipp Ammann, occupies the "perfect space," boasting warm woods, golden tones and plenty of natural light (including a unique interior skylight above a gorgeous round glass display case).
The best part, though? The wares, of course, from a glittering range of grand high jewelry to the brand's signature, smile-inducing Happy Diamonds collection (see our personal gift pick in our golden guide, here). —Noa Nichol
