Blue Ruby

I can’t say enough about the customer service I received from this Robson St. store today!
Absolutely 1^st Class!
I purchased a neckless from this store a few months ago and unfortunately it broke while i was drying off from exiting the shower. It was a very delicate chain with a diamond heart.
I was so sad… I thought I would just stop inn to see «where» they would recommend me fixing it at.
After speaking with Nicholas and a female associate they REPLACED my Necklace for me at no charge and no wait time.
I would definitely recommend this store to any one that wants to treat them selves to a cute item or purchase a gift for someone special. I will be a faithful customer from here on out! Thank you Blue Ruby!

Nice jewelry selection, and extremely knowledgable & helpful staff, highly recommended!

In general I appreciate the Blue Ruby chain as you can get something modern and somewhat elegant for under $ 120. It fits a reasonable price range. I don’t feel that the jewelry themselves is meant to last, however, good for the season fad. Also if you want to buy something really nice for someone but don’t want to spend a shitload of $$$ this is a reasonable place. You wouldn’t want to wear this jewelry in the shower.
Customer service here is better and they have a better selection.

Great little store for jewelry. We bought some earrings for our daughter and the service was excellent. Wilson even wrapped it.

I was bound and determined to find a good jewelry store while visiting Vancouver. I found several stores, but most either had very simple designs with less than quality gemstones or items that were a bit too artsy for my taste. I’m so glad one of our waitresses recommended Blue Ruby!
The jewelry here is organized by artisan and location. I could have bought the whole place! The designs are unique and beautiful; you can tell a lot of hard work and craftsmanship went in to each piece. The staff is friendly and not overbearing. Prices range and are appropriate to the quality. I liked Blue Ruby so much I made one more stop before I left down. I wish we had this place in the States!

I LOVE jewelry and I this store is a rare gem! They have alot of one-​of-​a-​kind jewelry from independent artist throughout the world. Gorgeous jewels! I purchased a long silver strand with a crystal pendant. Very simple but elegant. I can dress it up or down. I’m in love with it. There were so many other items I’d love to go back for. The service clerk was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

A small, pleasant jewelry shop with plenty of charm and character. The layout and design don’t really suggest anything unique – it’s just one display after another, with the most desirable pieces in the ringed case in the center of the floor. The usual sparkling charms abound, both in the cases as well as behind the counter. They seem to understand that clueless boyfriends are their best customers, and hire girls who can calm those frazzled nerves and guide those rudderless ships into harbor next to the nicest pieces in the store.
I came in with two friends, one who was shopping for herself, the other, realizing he didn’t have to shop for her, choosing to amuse himself people-​watching outside the store. Fortunately, since I had an errand of my own, as it turned out, I had the benefit of both a trusted friend and friendly salespeople on the case with me. In my case that extra hand-​holding is probably not a bad thing to have.
I had all kinds of questions about how to predict the taste of someone who you don’t yet know like the back of your hand, and found a piece that has both some individuality as well as some fundamental appeal to it. The salesgirl was very reassuring and matter of fact throughout, and I can’t thank my friend enough for being there. («Alright, Tom, say with me: ‘wom-​en love jew-​el-​ry’.» Got it.)
The emphasis here is on fairly limited pieces by independent artists, and you often get a business card in the box with your purchase. The pieces are all high quality, and range from very casual items to fairly formal and even flashy choices. The materials are all well chosen, and include many precious and semi-​precious stones and metals. There’s a great focus on vintage and highly detailed (not to say ornate) creations, though the aesthetics run the gamut from traditional to modern as you move throughout the store.
They even have a whole case of cuff links. It’s quite a nice place, and I have a feeling I’ll buy another gift, if not several, when I’m back in town.

A day trip to Vancouver wouldn’t be complete without a quick diversion to Blue Ruby. I’ve always loved that there is plenty of Canadian talent to choose from and there are plenty of original designs to browse from. It may be the location, but some of the items do seem a little too pricey when compared to the same designer’s work at other stores.

I enjoy perusing through Blue Ruby whenever I see one. They have some pieces that are very unique and simple, which is what I like. I love the nature-​inspired pieces that they had when I last went. And I bought a couple of their sterling silver pieces which were pounded to make a duller look. And I’m still satisfied with those purchases.
Definitely a fun little shop, and what’s not to like for girls that like jewelry…

This wee jewel box of a store is always a wonderful place to poke your head in and take in all the lovely, sparkly wares. Save for the bad taste in store music, this particular Blue Ruby has quite a large space to work with, allowing you more room to peruse the display windows for that perfect little trinket. As with Luisa, I have yet to purchase anything from here, mainly because I am über-​picky about my jewellery purchases and I choose to buy things that are one of a kind, instead of buying pieces that InStyle magazine told me Lindsay Lohan is wearing.
There are some beautifully creative pieces, and many that are affordable, so don’t shy away if you think your budget can’t handle it, they often have sales!

Ooh, pretty bright shiny objects! Yes, I am definitely one of those people that gets distracted by movement and, of course, things that fall into the aforementioned
«pretty bright shiny objects» category. I can’t walk by their window display without glancing back at least twice.
Despite this and the fact that I do love pretty things, Blue Ruby just doesn’t really do it for me. I always go in, admire the bejeweled headbands and delicate earrings but I have yet to actually make a purchase. Something about the general aesthetic there just doesn’t appeal to me enough to buy something. It reminds me too much of what my imagined sixteen-​year-​old self would have worn.
In addition to all the sparkly trinkets, they also carry a range of different kinds of accessories, like scarves, sunglasses, hats and belts.

Sparkles. Shiny. Pretty. Fancy. Silver. Gold. Stones.
You name it, they have got it! Just about anything you can think of — from sparkly headbands and nose rings to metallic necklaces and earrings.
Blue Ruby is the home of good quality, funky, fashionable jewelry that’s NOT going to break your bank. They carry labels from Mimi and Marge to Tashi — it’s a mecca for fashionistas!

In the summer of 1998, Blue Ruby opened and filled a long-​empty niche in Vancouver’s retail scene: Fun, funky, fashionable, and fabulous jewellery that DIDN’T cost (but definitely looked amazing on) an arm and a leg.
Eight years later, and with multiple locations around Vancouver, Blue Ruby’s still at it, offering a wide selection of mid-​price range jewellery that falls somewhere between costume jewellery and diamonds and pearls.
Whether you’re looking for those earrings Jen Aniston wore in In Style, a gift for the girl who’s got everything, or a sparkly bauble to complete an evening look, Blue Ruby’s a safe bet. Trend-​setting looks are available in just about any price range.
