The young lady running the store that day told me that the owners, Hector and Melissa Aragon, along with recently opening another store, have just had a baby! Clearly, this ambitious couple knows what they are doing! The jewellery being sold at Taraxca hails mostly from Canadian and Mexican artists, with some designs beginning to come in from Asia, Africa, India and Europe. If I haven't talked about the jewellery itself yet, it is mostly because there is such a diverse selection and I love all of it! There are some truly exquisite pieces done entirely in sterling silver and others set with gemstones, pearls and abalone in intricate designs, along with red coral, amber, steel, West Coast Native and wood designs to put some sparkle in your eye. Simply gorgeous! I also haven't mentioned that the prices are totally reasonable leaving you with the opportunity to indulge in a beautiful piece for yourself or someone else!

Our Funderal Advisor recommended us to contact Permel Engraving to get some ideas about creating a Plaque for our loved ones to be placed in their Niche. Robin, the Designer/Technician at Permel is extremely helpful and friendly. He patiently explained to us about different materials, designs, and they way it will look etc. His professionalism towards the whole process, made us feel at ease at this difficult time. No only did they do a good job of the final product, they even accomplished the task in a shorter time then they had previously promised!! Thank you Robin and your team for such a great service! Also, with a lot of human touch!

No ever selling gold before, we had no idea what to expect! Hindsight is wonderful! Had we been educated in selling our gold pieces with diamonds, we certainly would have insisted the diamonds be taken out and given to us! So be forwarned---you will not be offered your diamonds!

We had 2 pieces of older gold men's jewelry that he was never going to wear but one piece was sentimental so he wanted to keep the diamonds out of it to use at a later date. We first negotiated the purchase of the gold from the 2 pieces and found their prices very fair (we had done some price shopping in advance). We then asked for the price to remove our diamonds to keep, and it was super affordable, and could be done on the spot. They were patient with my husbands many questions and his nervousness trusting them. The front door was locked and double gated so we felt safe throughout the whole process. Overall we left relieved and happy. I would highly recommend them for all of your gold and jewelry needs!
