Buying jewellery is a way to tell someone you care and celebrate life’s special moments, but it’s also an investment. Unlike most investments, however, when you walk into a jeweller you run the risk of buying from someone that might not have the training and expertise to help you make a purchase that holds up over time. Fortunately, we have Lugaro Jewellers in West Vancouver’s Park Royal Shopping Centre. Founded 30 years ago as a jewellery wholesaler and distributor, Lugaro has grown into a com pletely vertically integrated full service jeweller with their own world class design and manufac turing facility, gemologists, designers and gold smiths and three retail locations. North Shore owned and operated, Lugaro’s his tory as a wholesaler gives them unparalleled knowledge of the latest trends and designs as well as an understanding of which pieces will stand the test of time. From their manufacturing facility in Burnaby, Lugaro also has the ability to create custom pieces just for you that make your jewellery purchases even more personal. “As we have the models and moulds for the pieces we sell, you can always reorder a piece or get the matching wedding band of an engagement ring,” says Lugaro’s Steve Agopian. “Having over 5000 of our own models gives you the opportunity to have something unique created without paying a ‘custom jewellery’ price.” It’s a formula that has allowed them to grow. From their irst retail location at North Vancouver’s Capilano Mall, Lugaro has expanded
to locations in Burnaby and Victoria and recently moved their North Shore location to a larger loca tion at Park Royal.
Pourfar, is one of only three fully trained and quali ied Omega watch ambassadors in North America.
As the business grew, Lugaro moved their manu facturing operation from North Vancouver to a larger location in Burnaby and added a distribu tion centre in Hong Kong.
While Lugaro has grown, they never forget where they came from. Their philosophy of integration applies to the communities in which they work and live. “We’re still a North Shore company,” says Steve, “and we believe in giving back.”
The irst design group to embrace diamonds from the Canadian arctic, today Lugaro is the largest manufacturer of Canadian diamond jewellery. “Ultimately Lugaro can control its own destiny,” says Agopian, “by economically creating and man ufacturing world class jewellery without relying on outside suppliers. Basically we are our own supplier.” With their design and manufacturing business going strong, they still wholesale their products to other jewellers across Canada and the United States. “This places us as close to the industry supply chain as possible. You bene it from the most current styles we produce and get them at manufacturer's direct prices. As we purchase entire productions of Canadian diamonds, this also drives us to create diamond jewellery in wide ranges of styles and prices in order to get the most out of our purchase. It’s like buying a large acreage of land and making sure you use it in the most pro itable, aesthetically pleasing and environmentally bene icial manner.” The extra room at their Park Royal location has allowed them to augment their product range with carefully selected high end products. They are currently home to the largest Rolex boutique corner in Canada and their watch buyer, Sassan
Recent bene iciaries include the North Shore Women’s Shelter, the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Foundation and the North Shore Persian community as well as North Shore schools and arts groups. In the end, it all means satisfaction for you. “Our clients tell us that they won’t hesitate to send anyone to us. They come because their family shops here and we always look after them. Even with our success at a number of different levels, we are still your family jeweller.”
