Gemstone jewelry in Canada is relatively common. There are many gemstones mined in Canada including beautiful stones like amethyst, aquamarine, and of course, jade. The fact that there are so many gemstones that are easily accessible in Canada, makes for some great gemstone jewelry.

At Alora, we particularly love Aquamarine, which can be found in BC, Yukon, and Ontario.

Just this summer I (Jameela) went to Ontario to mine Amethyst! I was shocked that there were so many gemstones that could be found easily. I got buckets full of Amethyst, and I plan on using some of the stones in a spring collection!
