Marty Halprin has been in the jewellery business for 32 years.. starting out small in the old downtown , when downtown was a down- town .... to buying his own building on Osborne and Gertrude to house Celia’s Jewellery. Celia’s looked after Winnipegers for all their jewellery needs... diamond rings for young couples…… anniversary rings for “old “ couples…… custom designs for those who couldn’t find what they wanted…… and jewellery repairs for those worn-out or damaged items. Celia’s Jewellery was known as the go-to store if nobody else could fix it…… the go-to store for the impossible-to-find matching stone in a ring or pendant. Marty would always find a way to fix the impossible-to-fix. He always found a way to make his customers and many friends happy. After 32 years you collect a lot of stuff - so, in the fall of 2010 Celia’s Jewellery had a closing-out sale to end all sales. There were line-ups to get into the store. Marty was going to try to retire and do something as silly as become a bike courier. Well, that didn’t happen. Instead , he downsized the store, got rid of all the “chazerai” in the sale, and rented out the other half. So , as the story goes ...... Marty is still in business ....on his own... and doing what he does best, now under the name “MARTY’S DIAMOND AND GOLD EXCHANGE”…… still with the same dedicated award-winning goldsmith, SOUK ... and Jack ( Jane?) of all trades, ANNE. Marty’s buys and sells estate jewellery, scrap gold, diamonds and coins. Marty’s still custom makes any precious item in gold or silver and, of course, provides expert jewellery repairs. Again, for all your diamond or gold jewellery needs ...... see Marty - but not on Tuesday or Wednesday mornings as he’s gone bike riding. Open 12 to 5:00, Mon. to Sat.
