Post Event - Summary

Jubilee Fine Jewellers

Classification: Jeweller

 

Since 1952, Jubilee Fine Jewellers has built its reputation on family values, exceptional service, and fine quality products.

 

As Ottawa's premier jeweller with three (3) designer boutiques, they are also the exclusive jeweller to the Ottawa Senators Hockey Club. They are proud to offer world class jewellery brands such as Mikimoto, Bvlgari, Chopard, Lazare Diamonds, Polar Ice Canadian Diamonds, Scott Kay Bridal collections, watches by Rolex, Cartier, Baume & Mercier, Gucci and Tag Heuer, writing instruments and fine gifts by Montblanc, Dunhill and Dupont.

 

At last week's onsite Mike Charania welcomed members and their guests to his home away from home, the St. Laurent location, then shared with them the rich history of Jubilee Fine Jewellers.

 

Jubilee Jewellers was started in the African country of Uganda. Eventually, all 5 Charania brothers came to work in the successful family business.  In the fall of 1972 due to political problems in Uganda, Mike and his family immigrated to Canada as refugees. In 1973, in a small, half storefront on Bank St. the family business of Jubilee Fine Jewellers began again. Since that time Jubilee has grown into one of the premium jewellers in Ottawa. They currently have 4 stores located in the major malls of the city: St. Laurent, Rideau Centre, Bayshore and Carlingwood. Although all of Mike's brothers have now retired (he has lost two of them), the family business is still thriving as his nephew begins taking over the reins as Mike looks towards retirement himself.

 

Jubilee Fine Jewellers takes pride in all that they do. Many of their dedicated staff have been employed with Jubilee for over 20 years and enjoy delivering quality service to their customers. Some of these services include repairs, appraisals, gemprints, warrantees and insurance replacements. 

 

Later in the meeting while dining on another wonderful meal provided by Manny, those in attendance were treated to the sounds of the holiday season by Mike's friend Grant who serenaded members with Christmas Songs.
