Montreal-based Claude Thibaudeau continues a jewellery business begun in 1872 by his forebear Ulric. It’s worth reading the company’s “about” page because so many generations of the family continued the design tradition (under different names and in different locations), which is uncommon and intriguing.

This one-of-a-kind ring features an 18k yellow gold and platinum setting, the star of which is a 16.5 carat opal accented with .21 carats of white diamonds. The site also features an array of bridal jewellery.
