Hot Shop: Palladio

Call it jewelry 2.0: Palladio recently opened its new showroom in a sparkling space on West Hastings Street in Vancouver.

The boutique boasts warm woods mixed with white and gold Calacatta marble, bronze metal accents featuring a repeating pattern of the Palladio "P" (reminiscent of links in a bracelet) and high-clarity display glass that optimizes the presentation of merchandise—you know, finely crafted timepieces (by masters of horology like Rolex, Parmigani Fleurier, H. Moser & Cie., Carl F. Bucherer, Raymond Weil and F.P. Journe) and priceless keepsakes, including stunning one-of-a-kind pieces for men and women, as well as fashion-forward collections from sought-after designers around the world.

Looking for something truly original? Palladio’s master goldsmiths and craftsmen can custom create something meaningful and extraordinary using the rarest gems, purest metals and finest diamonds—for Christmas, and beyond. —Noa Nichol
