You might want to skip award-winning jewelry designer Myles Mindham’s
Yorkville store if you can’t be content to just window shop. The
high-end custom jewelry line has gained a solid following amongst
Toronto’s affluent set for over 20 years, but has just recently become
a visible part of the city’s shopping scene when it moved to a ground
floor boutique in 2007. Mindham’s ultra-luxe fine jewelry offers up
intricate designs, punctuated with rare gemstones and Canadian
diamonds, and revealing hints of inspiration from nature, like the
white gold diamond choker whose twisted form conjures images of barren
fall tree branches. Look for chunky cocktail rings boasting
brilliant-hued stones, diamond-encrusted dangling earrings, and
flower-shaped brooches which give a vintage allure, in other words,
ample bling to drool over.
