When I was a wee lass in school at McGill I dated a french boy who was very sweet and spoke very…read morelittle English. Our relationship lasted into him becoming a completely fluent anglophone and I became more and more disenchanted with the Quebecoise way of life. Though our romance ended after a year or so, the beautiful little charms that he bought me at Freitag were less transient. His taste was not superb and while he meant well it wasn't long before I steered him to Freitag on St. Laurent and said very clearly: "If you want to buy me something, buy me something here." I knew it was basically a flawless plan since all the handmade baubles here were so charming that I would've been happy with anything in the store. Run by a cute little french lady and filled with small silver charms, a few delicate gems and a powder blue motorbike it was just as charming as the jewelry it held. After we broke up and I moved back to California we kept in touch briefly and that Christmas a surprise package arrived with a long letter professing his love with broken English verbs. Accompanying the note was a gaudy silver chain with plastic balls and silver hanging all over it. I was happy I didn't have to send back a necklace from Freitag.

I will be coming back here for all of my jewelery work in the future! THANK YOU for all the care and dedication you give to your clients and your work! It is so much appreciated! ------------- My necklace came with a chain that i thought was too thick, so I went to go buy a new silver chain from here. Sam (I think that's his name?) was SO helpful, and considerate. He showed me different chains he had and helped me swap my pendant over. He even helped decrease the size of the ring of the pendant (which was way too big to begin with). He didn't have an extenders in stock, so he was kind enough to take half of the extender of my other necklace and attach it to this necklace! Throughout the entire process, he was so patient while I took my time to make chain type and length decisions. He was always thoughtful to confirm what was the work to be done. Best of all, the entire process took less than an hour!
