Birks history can be traced back to over four centuries ago. The Birks tradition dates back to 16th century England, where Birks family members were master silversmiths in Sheffield, England. It is with this know-how, traditions and trade secrets, the Birks family emigrated to Canada in 1832. Though the Birks’ roots lie deep in English craftsmanship, it truly came to life when Henry Birks opened a first boutique in the heart of Montreal in 1879. His lifelong dream became a reality, and it grew into a magnificent fine jewellery legacy.

Royal Ties

In 1934, Birks received a Royal Warrant to supply British royalty. Two decades later during a royal tour, the future queen, then Princess Elizabeth, was gifted a gem-laden platinum Birks necklace and famously said: “I have never received a more beautiful gift.” During World War II, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother) toured Canada. The Queen was presented with a diamond-set maple leaf brooch made by Birks, and when the war began, she always wore it on her lapel when she visited Canadian servicemen stationed in London. Montreal also offered a Birks salver to her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1959 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the inauguration of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Many of the gifts presented to the royal family over the years, mostly on the occasion of their many visits to Canada, were entrusted to the Birks workshops. Today, members of the royal family continue to embrace the Birks brand.
