Who we are

Founded in Montreal in 2013, Gio Jewels is the destination for exclusive and hand crafted jewelry inspired by Mediterranean artistry. We’re dedicated to thoughtful design, fine craftsmanship, and genuine customer care which are reasons why people love us. Each Gio piece is made with care and creativity, blending timeless Mediterranean influences with a modern touch. Whether you’re drawn to bold statement pieces or something more delicate for everyday wear, our collections are designed to complement every style and occasion.

At the heart of Gio Jewels are Mirna and Andrea, the duo behind the brand’s creative vision and boutique experience. Mirna was born and raised in Istanbul and comes from a Greek and Armenian family of jewelers. Her grandfather helped shape the city’s jewelry scene as one of the first to open a shop in the historic Grand Bazaar. Though she began her career in engineering, her true passion revealed itself after moving to Canada, where she found joy in helping clients discover jewelry that speaks to them. That passion led her to follow her family’s legacy and open her own store. Andrea later joined Mirna, bringing her own eye for detail and a shared dedication to creating an inviting and personalized experience for every client. Together, they’ve built Gio Jewels into a brand it is today.

What are our materials?

We created Gio Jewels with one simple idea: luxury should be attainable. Each piece is crafted with quality materials and thoughtful design, so you never have to choose between beauty and value. Our jewelry is made to stand the test of time and to be part of your story for years ahead. Our 925 Sterling Silver meets the industry standard of 92.5% pure silver, crafted with consistency across our entire collection. Chosen for its radiant shine, quality, and affordability, silver offers exceptional value without compromising on elegance.

We love gold at Gio for its warm and Mediterranean vibe, but we know the higher price tag isn’t always ideal so our happy compromise is gold vermeil. Gold vermeil is a premium gold toned material made by plating a thick layer of real gold over sterling silver. Pieces are either available in our base 0.5 micron or ultra 1 micron of gold for a longer lasting shine. The plating process fuses the gold to the silver, creating pieces that look luxurious while staying more accessible. Keep in mind gold vermeil is delicate, so a little care goes a long way but that also keeps it affordable and wearable.

Our beloved armcandy bracelets are made from goldfilled jewelry, crafted by bonding a thick layer of real gold (about 5% of the piece’s weight) to a strong, long lasting metal base. This unique construction gives each piece a beautiful, enduring gold tone that can handle everyday life wear and even a splash of water, without the high price of solid gold. Durable, wearable, and luxurious looking, goldfilled is the perfect everyday gold you can actually enjoy.

When it comes to a piece you’ll treasure for a lifetime, real gold is always a top pick. It’s durable, holds its color beautifully, and can even be worn every day without losing its shine. Beyond that, gold is an investment so its value tends to grow over time. We use 10K and 14K gold to make our jewelry accessible without compromising quality. 10K gold has 41.7% pure gold and is more affordable for its weight while 14K gold has 58.5% giving it a richer and warmer color. Both are designed to last and to be loved for years to come.
