the newly announced HRH Princess

to support Canadian fine jewellery brand Birks for her official

Les Plaisirs de BirksTM
18K yellow gold earrings feature mesmerizing white opals, stones
known to stimulate creativity. The collection is inspired by the
everyday. Putting a spin on timeless, Canadian classics, Les
Plaisirs de Birks offer sleek pieces that highlight the
new, contemporary flare of the Birks brand. (Price: $995.00)
Heralded as one of Canada's
national treasures, the fine jewellery brand has a rich heritage,
which recently launched in the UK last month. Founded in
Montreal in 1879, it has become
one of Canada's leading retailers,
designers and manufacturers of high-end jewellery, watches and
gifts.
Uncompromisingly beautiful, inspired by its heritage and known
for its edgy take on classic styles, Birks speaks to the
self-accomplished woman who seeks to create her own sense of style.
With entry level products right through to red-carpet showstoppers,
this much loved and followed brand offers a cool and contemporary
collection of fine jewellery products that appeals to the modern
woman.
Fitting that the announcement comes out of the U.K., Birks
recently entered the market with five collections of varying price
ranges, to appeal and cater to a wide breadth of jewellery
customers and can be found at Mappin & Webb boutiques in
London.

Earrings are available in stores across Canada and online at

ABOUT BIRKS
The Birks story began four centuries ago
when members of the Birks family were silversmiths in Sheffield, England. But the Birks brand truly
came to life in 1879 when Henry
Birks opened a jewellery boutique in the heart of
Montreal, Canada. What began as
one man's dream became an iconic Canadian brand that is now
distributed internationally. As Canada's leading designer, manufacturer and
retailer of fine gold, diamond and silver jewellery as well as
timepieces and gifts, Birks and its iconic blue box have been part
of Canadians' love stories and special moments since 1879. Today,
as Canada celebrates its
150th anniversary, Birks is also celebrating its very
own love affair with the nation. Visit www.birks.com for more
