When Jim Pappas opened Danforth Jewellers in 2013, it was an easy choice – his father was a gem wholesaler so he'd been around jewellery all his life. “As a kid growing up, I loved the sparkly diamonds, and the intensity and vivid colours of sapphires, rubies and emeralds,” he confesses. “Once I saw the precious gems I fell in love with them.”

Later, Jim joined his parents John and Christina in running a watch and jewellery store a block west of where his store stands today. He learned a lot growing up in the family business. “My dad was always looking for cleaner, higher quality diamonds and better cuts,” says Jim. “He wasn’t the kind of person who would buy something just for the sake of profit. He wanted to sell better quality goods.”

Jim supplemented his apprenticeship in the family business with formal education, completing the gemology course at George Brown College in 2002. “It really brought up my knowledge of not only gems but also metallurgy and different alloys,” Jim explains. “I am like a university grad of gemstones.”

    I took my watch to place at 543 Danforth to have a new battery because Danforth Jewellers wasn't open yet. He couldn't get the battery in and was picking at it with various metal tools, which butchered my watch terribly. I should have taken it to Jim first because I've always had great service there. "When you repeat a mistake, it is not a mistake anymore...it is a decision" I'll never make that mistake again. Danforth Jewellers are the only place I would go in the future...they're great

    Jim is an excellent and honest businessman. He does great work, really cares about customer service, and is kind and helpful. Buy your jewellery from an independent store that really cares about you as a customer. Do yourself a favour and go here. I send everyone I know.

    Friendly staff and good service, got a nice 8gram 10k gold necklace for a fair price and the store owner polished one of my old rings for free. Would recommend.
