Stornoway launches Quebec diamond sales with Birks

Stornoway Diamond Corporation announced the inaugural sale of Quebec-mined diamonds at a launch event hosted by Birks at their iconic Montreal flagship store. The launch event took place in the presence of Birks Group President and CEO, Mr. Jean-Christophe Bédos, and Matt Manson, President and CEO of Stornoway.

Invited guests had the opportunity to view a collection of polished diamonds up to 10 carats in size, mined during the initial ramp-up period of Stornoway’s Renard Mine in Northern Quebec and set in Birks’ signature designs.

Matt Manson, President and CEO, commented: “We are honoured to be able to partner with Birks in the presentation of Quebec’s first diamonds to the retail market. It is fitting that these first beautiful, Quebec diamonds derived from Quebec’s first diamond mine should premier for sale at Maison Birks, Quebec’s most storied diamond jeweler. Yesterday evening’s event marked another step in the long journey to bring the Renard Mine and Renard diamonds to the global market.”

Birks will be presenting the first Quebec diamonds for sale at their Montreal flagship store in Montreal, between May 25th – May 31st and in Ste. Foy, Quebec between June 5th to June 19th.
