“I walked into Kavia Fine Jewellers with a crude pencil sketch on a post-it note and a cluster of diamonds that had literally been hacked off the top of a 25-year old ring. Mahesh patiently explained the process that goes into making a custom piece, working with me every step of the way to create the stunning, absolutely gorgeous masterpiece of my dreams.
I am beyond thrilled with my new ring. My old diamonds sparkle like never before and I get so many compliments on how unique and exquisite their new setting is.
Thank you so much, Mahesh - you are amazing!”
“I posted on a local community Facebook page about the best place to get very sentimental and valuable family heirlooms repaired. Not only did about 20 people comment 'go to Rudi!' but several people actually DM'ed me long messages personally vouching for Rudi and his team. So easy choice, clearly!When I arrived at his studio I found a sweet little top floor studio with a reception area, display cabinets and working benches. Rudi's work is on display and his staff greeted me warmly.Not only did Rudi inspect my pieces with care, he repaired them within 48 hours and charged me a fraction of what other places would. Truly... a fraction. They fixed a solid 14k gold clasp and resized a watch, cleaning both meticulously without me asking.In a town where small businesses are being pushed out, this experience was so refreshing. I can't remember the last time I wasn't charged inflated prices for a service because, well, Canmore is simply unaffordable for both local business owners and residents alike. Rudi commented that he keeps services as affordable as he can to keep the spirit of jewelry and repair alive.I highly recommend this studio for all your jewelry needs! Not only are their repairs made with so much love, but their custom work is honestly to die for. Rudi is downright cool — his designs are nothing I've seen in the valley!Rudi Peet and his team aren't that active on social media, so if you do drop by and enjoy your experience, be sure to leave a review :-)”
“Beautiful, affordable and wonderfully wearable clothes. Great staff help me put together a fashionable wardrobe that works well for day to day, travel and special occasions. Highly recommend Charisma!”
“It was a very cute and charming store. I purchased a notebook inspired by First Nations art, and I really loved it.
I would be happy to see more products like this in the future”
“I was in Canmore staying with my son and his lovely wife, Janet, last week. Janet and I spent some awesome time looking and shopping in Alberta’s Own Marketplace and came home smiling. The girl who worked with us was so kind and friendly and that was just what I needed emotionally that day. We bought some sweet pottery and a ‘Lake Minnewanka cribbage board’ for my son who just happens to be the Mayor of your wonderful town. He was surprised and said he will always treasure it. The pottery has come home with me to Edmonton. Thank you for a really nice shopping experience.”
