About

Old-world craft, modern tools

Zimochod Jewellers was founded in 1988 and has grown, piece by piece, on Walter’s dedication and his passion for jewellery.

Walter Zimochod

For more than three decades, Walter has made elegant, hand-crafted pieces in gold and platinum. His passion for gemstones and his attention to detail have earned him clients in Guelph and around the world, and award-winning designs.

He has kept learning, too. His work joins state-of-the-art equipment with old-world craftsmanship: the precision of modern tools, and the judgement of a jeweller who has spent a career at the bench.

Personal attention is given to every part of the process, from the first conversation to the final polish, so that the relationship lasts as long as the jewellery.

What you can count on

The way we work

  • Made on the premises

    Design, production, repairs and appraisals all happen in our own workshop.

  • Every metal, many stones

    Gold, platinum and silver, with precious and semi-precious stones, from sapphires to South Sea pearls.

  • Confidential

    Consultations take place in a private office, never across a busy counter.

  • For a lifetime

    Through commitment, experience and expertise, we build relationships with customers that last a lifetime.
