Natural Stones, Exclusive Jewelry, and Stunning Pieces!

IN SHORT

For the past 33 years, Pierres D’Ailleurs has travelled to every corner of the globe to source the most beautiful natural stones, jewelry, and unique objects. From Madagascar to Nepal and India, the pieces they bring back are carefully selected, drawing on the work of local and international artists. At the heart of their approach is a spiritual shopping experience that resonates with their customers.

Nepal and India: Tradition Renewed Every Year!

Every year for the past 33 years, "We’ve been on a quest to discover natural stones, unique and exclusive jewelry, and distinctive, beautiful pieces across a variety of categories that are sure to appeal to customers looking for something new,"[1] say Katrine and Sylvain of Pierres D’Ailleurs.

Ever since their very first trip to Madagascar to select gemstones, their subsequent annual visits have allowed them to choose unique pieces of jewelry, ancient artifacts, and rare gemstones directly from the source—a practice they continue to this day. Each trip offers the opportunity to get up close with the raw materials, watch them being shaped right before our eyes, and explore the local wonders.

While Nepal is a country where people are extremely welcoming, it is also a favourite place for artisans. They devote a great deal of time to the details, and the quality of their finished products is unmatched. They work with meticulous care in their workshops, and each artisan gives free rein to their creativity.

The jewelry we bring back from Nepal is not only exclusive; it is also handpicked. Every piece we select is based on our deep understanding of the market we have been working in for so many years. We strive to please our customers because they are looking for pieces that are unique on the marketplace.

In Nepal, local artisans are all passionate about their craft. “They provide us with a unique experience and take the time to introduce us to their magnificent jewelry, year after year. A relationship of trust has existed between them and us for over a quarter of a century, and we know that nothing is left to chance. The products we bring back all have a story to tell.”

In neighbouring India, we immerse ourselves fully in the local culture, which allows us to source rare gemstones of exceptional quality and set them into jewelry in our signature styles.

This country, with its ancient traditions and raw materials, takes us on a spiritual shopping journey where we can reconnect with the essence of our daily activities and our core values.

A true source of renewal and purification, our annual trips enable us to bring back, in a sense, certain millennia-old practices through unique and magnificent pieces that we love to share with our clients. In this regard, over the past few years, we have been discovering Mexico with its wealth of gemstones and the distinctive design of its jewelry.

This is what sets Pierres D’Ailleurs apart and makes it stand out. Our relentless search for top-quality products from all corners of the globe makes our boutique an unrivalled destination for jewelry, natural stones, rare gemstones, and exceptional pieces.

On each of our trips, we take the time to interact with the local people and artisans, selecting our products one by one with an extraordinary eye for detail that appeals to everyone who walks into the store or enjoys shopping on our website.

Local Stone for a Wide Selection

While we enjoy travelling to the source each year to meet the artists who craft their works on-site in various sizes, Pierres D’Ailleurs also stocks local stones. These are harder to come by, as minerals are not easy to find in Quebec, but whenever the opportunity arises, we expand our selection and diversify our offerings. Furthermore, this helps support local artisans who have a genuine interest in natural stones.

This combination of local and international sources in our product supply creates commercial value and consistently sparks greater curiosity among our customers.

Natural Stones, Jewelry, and More

Our trips aren’t limited to bringing back the most beautiful gemstones and jewelry to Montreal; we also offer a wide selection of Tibetan singing bowls and incense with traditional scents, to name just two examples. These are handcrafted by local artisans in India and elsewhere in Southeast Asia.
