OUR STORY

MEET THE MAKER

 

 

Williams Custom Jewellery (Williams Distinctive Gems) first opened its doors in 1981 in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Founded on the belief that jewellery has the power to create memories, increase confidence and enhance lifestyles, all of our inventory is personally selected by Graduate Gemologist Keith Williams. Keith studied in residence at the prestigious Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and is a member of the GIA Alumni Association. He began his gemological career as an apprentice at Canada's largest  diamond wholesaler in early 1982-1984 (Baumgolds), before going on to become Office Manager of Canada's largest diamond importer during the mid  1980's (Fabrikant). Keith continues to further his extensive knowledge of luxury design and industry trends through courses offered by the GIA and travels the world for inspiration.
