Times Colonist Reader's Choice Award Winner - Artina's Jewellery

Great News!

Thanks to your continued support, we have recently been voted best jewellery store in Victoria. The Times Colonist Reader’s Choice Award allows readers to vote and rate all the best businesses in town from restaurants to furniture stores. Thanks to the hard work of our staff, artists, and to you, our loyal customers, we’ve had the honor of also receiving this award. 

We are constantly blown away by your support and friendship. Of course, none of this would be possible without our brilliantly creative artists. 

At Artina’s Jewellery, we pride ourselves on being one of the world’s largest selections of hand-crafted jewellery. We showcase hundreds of talented Canadian artists, including some of the country’s most notable indigenous jewelers. You can find pieces made of gold, silver, titanium, and other natural stones in-store and online. 

The techniques used to create and carve these masterpieces have been passed down through generations. Artina’s is proud to be a part of creating a space for our resident artists to create and tell their stories through art. 

Of course, we couldn’t do this without the help of our current owner, Lera Zakreski. Lera, originally from Ukraine, moved to Canada in 2010. In 2017, Lera became the proud owner of Artina’s Jewellery and made it her mission to continue to share the best hand-made Canadian jewellery as well as those artistic traditions. She believes that every woman who wears a piece from Artina’s brings it to life. 

Artina’s has been a family owned and operated business for over 30 years. We wouldn’t be where we are today without the passion and dedication of our amazing team, including staff and artists. We thank you all so much for all the support over the years, and can’t wait to show you what we have planned for 2022. Be sure to look out for our new website, newsletter, and so much more.

We truly appreciate all the support, and promise to continue offering the same exceptional service and one-of-a-kind products. 

From your friends at Artina’s Jewellery,

Thank you
