Get Your Glam On
Got the November blahs?
In a month with diminished daylight and nary a statutory holiday in sight, what you need is a little pick-me-up. Why not add sparkle to your day in the form of a new pendant, bracelet or set of earrings from one of Ottawa’s funkiest jewellery boutiques? You might even find something to check off your holiday gift list while you’re at it.
First, there’s our ongoing love affair with eclectic Magpie Jewellery (three locations in Ottawa), where you can find some truly unusual pieces from creative local and international designers in sterling silver, gold, platinum and stainless steel. The name of the game here is broad appeal’we can almost always find something new and fun to love, and the prices range widely.
If you’re a strictly silver girl, head straight to Wellington Village’s Bija Bijoux, which specializes in sterling silver jewellery created by top Canadian designers at affordable prices’a nearly irresistible combination. This boutique has some wonderfully unique pieces.
