Birks Dare to Dream

Gemstone Collection

In a dynamic celebration of colour, Birks Dare to Dream marries a kaleidoscope of gemstones with its signature motif, which draws inspiration from the geometric patterns of the very first Birks boutique, opened in Montréal in 1879. Its array of exquisite pendants, earrings, and rings includes turquoise, lapis lazuli, onyx, malachite, and mother-of-pearl.

Gemstones Steeped in Symbolism

Formed beneath the Earth’s surface, gemstones are born from nature — Birks’ true source of inspiration. Taking on different significations throughout history, gemstones are not only a vibrant addition to fine jewellery, but they also elevate pieces through meaningful symbolism.

Auspicious Lapis Lazuli

Said to have the ability to reveal inner truth, lapis lazuli distinguishes itself by encouraging self-awareness. The deep blue stone is also believed to provide a protective quality, staving off negative energy and preserving a peaceful environment.
