    Best jewelry ever! Have a few things from here but this ring in particular has been through it all and still looks amazing! Has been worn in hot tubs, at the beach, in the lake. Literally haven’t taken it off since I got it on Mother’s Day and it’s still perfect. Highly recommended everything from there!

    They made a repeat customer out of me! I was gifted a pair of sweet lil charms last Christmas! Absolutely loved them as an addition to my necklace! It’s a great quality, hasn’t tarnished, nor looks aged despite wearing it everyday. 🫶🏼⛓️💥

    I had a wonderful experience at Armed! The associate was so patient and helped me narrow down my choices in what felt to be a really genuine manner, not like she just wanted to close the sale, which I really appreciate! This will definitely become my new go-to jewelry shop. Thanks again!

    Placed an order for a necklace piece, on arrival they helped me fit it to my desired length, I was in and out within 5 minutes! Very efficient! They were very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable and welcomed, nothing but pleasant people here!

    Incredible jewelry! I'm so thrilled with my purchases. After buying a few things for myself, I decided to add a necklace to order as a gift for my friend's birthday and she is completely obsessed with it. The owner of this shop is a wonderful woman who does a great job of running her business. So heartwarming to see this during such tough times. We love a girl boss!

    If I could describe ARMED in one word it would be: wow. Amazing little local business, with such charming jewelry, I could die. I discovered ARMED when someone gifted me a funky chain, with all kind of knots. I’m a man and I think it was really complimentary to my masculine character and presentation. This place isn’t just for girls, folks. It’s for everyone. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. Because it’s not only beautiful but also reasonably priced! (Unlike some of their notorious neighbours…) Also the customer service is fantastic. All the employees were super helpful in helping me find what I was looking for (a charm for my sister’s charm collecting boyfriend) and it fit all my needs within my budget. Super friendly gals! Love them!! Overall ARMED is a place you think only exists in dreams. But heaven is a place on earth, and that place is at Dundas and Manning and it’s a wonderful jewelry store. 5 stars.

    Needed to exchange a necklace (not because it wasn't GORGEOUS, just not the size for me) and the CEO was so helpful! Very professional and great customer service. Will shop with them again :)

    The most reliable jewelry store in Toronto!! I have all my jewelry from Armed and wear it everyday and have had 0 issues with tarnishing. I get tons of compliments on my necklace and rings everytime I wear them out. Would 10/10 recommend this store for anyone whether you’re looking for more trendy or staple pieces to add to your collection. The workers are also super friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have :)

    I came all the way from Brampton to your location. Been planning on it for months but had to schedule some time to make it there . Went on Sunday at about 3:30 PM. The jewellery was great, I was even at the register about to pay, but the attitude of the employee was disgusting and I hate using that word to describe people. I left $300 worth of merchandise at the register purely because of her terrible customer service. I even planned on getting more stuff but from the second we walked in, her vibe was terrible. I just kept pushing through because I had waited way too long to buy from you guys. But at the end I had enough. This review would be way too long if I could get into detail everything. If you’re the owner reading this, as someone who is in sales, please get someone else to take over the shop on Sundays. You can even contact me and I will personally tell you everything. I also noticed how she was never greeting anyone who came in. I can’t stress this enough, I may not be the first person to have had this issue with her, she could be the reason for your loss in sales. That was definitely the case with me. I was so set on getting particular pieces from you guys, and fell in love when I was there trying stuff on. It was solely because of how she mistreated me and my family that we walked out at the register.

    Love coming here when they have fun events and pop-ups!! It’s also the prettiest store inside and their inventory is so unique and always different whenever I go. Sales clerks are so nice and helpful when I can’t decide which pieces to get because there’s so many to pick from !

  • 3/5 Mackenzie M. 10 months ago on Google
    Shopping online: I sent a link to earrings I was wanting for my birthday to my mom, and only one earring came with the order. If you are ordering the Huggies earrings you will need to add 2 to your basket. While I know the product page says sold individually, the word “Huggies” is plural and the image shows a set. Most of their other earrings also come in sets. So a bit misleading in terms of how the product is being marketed. Product itself is fine, but when my mom who bought this as a gift reached out to clarify about only one earring being sent she was faced with really poor customer service. The lady was really unhelpful which is was disappointing as I had asked for earrings from this company specifically because they were local and I had been referred there by a friend. Sounds like service is great in store but maybe their online presence could be improved (chat help function seems to be very automated too).

    I walked in looking for a gift for my girlfriend. I don’t know the first thing about jewelry so i had lots of dumb questions. The customer service was super helpful and friendly. I even walked out with a cool little ring for myself. Thanks <3

    I am obsessed with all of my purchases from Armed! They are all beautifully designed and they don't tarnish. I also follow them on instagram and the owner often posts story sales and updates! She is super friendly and creates unique and elegant pieces. I love this store!

    I love the products that this female-owned business has - very chic!! My shopping experience has not been great with them though. I purchased an anklet during the pandemic and never got around to picking it up and was offered to have the item shipped to me. It has been months now since I was told that it had been shipped and still haven’t received it. I’ve heard a lot of great things from others about this company but this shopping experience has made me very weary about buying from ARMED again. I told customer service that I hadn’t received it and their response was “That’s so weird, I shipped it out…I can’t track it.”

    Absolutely exceptional service from the moment we stepped in! The associates were incredibly helpful right from the start, assisting us in selecting the perfect charms. We appreciate the personalized attention, and our early visit made the process smooth. A 5-star experience that left us delighted with our pre-picked jewelry. Highly recommend this charming store!

    Incredible experience today making our own necklaces! Desirée and the rest of the staff were knowledgeable about their products and were flexible with how we wanted our necklaces. Such a good experience. Highly recommend this business.

    Armed is one of my favourite local designer in Toronto - I've been a regular shopper since the owner opened up her first store on Dundas. Great statement one of a kind pieces and she also have some great vintage homeware selections. My new obsession is the new stainless ring collection from the Parkdale location. I've been wearing mine daily and I love that it's kept up its colour. Planning to go back for some holiday gifts this year :)

  • 1/5 Steph S. 7 months ago on Google
    Overall experience....meh. The staff are rude and seem bothered - I was not asking alot or being demanding or rude - clearly she did not want to be there. Jewelry is cute, but I bought a charm and the ring was not fully soldered and ended up falling off my chain.

  • 5/5 Amanda P. 3 years ago on Google
    Whenever I'm shopping in Parkdale, I make sure to stop by Armed for accessories. My favourite pieces are the necklaces and earrings — I actually wore a pair of Armed earrings for my wedding! The necklaces I've purchased at Armed are great too, especially if you're lazy like me and never take your jewelry off — there is a big collection of jewelry that doesn't tarnish and I always shop those because they're super affordable and last forever. Highly recommend stopping by this store!

    Where to start, Up and Armed has been my go to jewelry store since I discovered them some 7-8 years ago. From my first experience in store at their first location on Dundas St across from Trinity Bellwoods, to the flagship store on Queen St, I fell in love with the tarnish free products, the owner Des and the guaranty. Any time I’ve had any issues with a piece, Desire is always inviting me to come in and she’ll fix it on the spot. That’s something I’ve never had anywhere else. I litterally swear by this brand and I’ve gotten all my friends hooked! From rings to earrings to necklaces to bracelets to clothing to shades, my closet is full of Armed! You can always be sure to find a variety of styles and something for everyone! I even got my hubby a heavy duty necklace! Do yourself a favor and get Armed!

    Love this place !! I purchased the snake chain and it’s AMAZING. Been receiving so many compliments on it. Such great prices and quality !

  • 5/5 Austin R. 3 years ago on Google
    I can't stress enough how much I love Armed Jewelry. I have so many chains, rings, and necklaces from this store that are all of substantial quality. My most recent purchase was a total customize hand engraved 10K gold ring. It truly is a work of art. The owner of the store is incredibly accommodating, personable, and passionate about her product and customer base. She sells incredibly eclectic items from Megalodon shark teeth to beautiful sparkling diamonds. This shop has it all. I highly recommend. Do not look any further, this store has all of your jewelry needs! :)

  • 5/5 Ivan A. 8 months ago on Google
    Super nice jewelry and sunglasses. Everything’s at a good price and you got plenty of options for every budget. They also have a large selection of clothing for women with some very nice pieces.

    Just bought online and I want to visit here so badly! They have an amazing selection of high-quality jewelry at low costs :)

  • 5/5 Paulina G. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered a few pieces online and absolutely LOVE them! A big thank you to the ARMED team for their amazing customer service. One of the pieces I bought was sold out and they went above and beyond to accommodate. Thanks ARMED team!! :D

    Meghan is the best :) she was so personable and so helpful! Thank you for the amazing shopping experience. You are a perfect brand ambassador.

  • 5/5 Diana H. 1 year ago on Google
    So hard to leave empty handed. Tarnish-free jewelry has actually been untarnished after more than a year of consistent use!! Also highly recommend going to them for custom pieces!! 💎

  • 5/5 Maggie B. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful jewelry that is truly tarnish proof. I never take it off and looks as great as it did on day one.

  • 5/5 Megan W. 1 year ago on Google
    The service at Armed and quality of the product is unmatched and Desiree is a gem. Highly recommended for a gift or to treat yourself!

  • 5/5 Amanda M. 2 years ago on Google
    My absolute favourite jewelry store and the only one you’ll ever need to shop at again. Bought my snake chain a year ago and it still looks like the day I got it. Amazing jewelry that doesn’t tarnish at SUCH a good price point. In the store and online they also carry ARMEDfine which is all beautiful solid gold and sterling silver… better prices then Mejuri and the owner will make anything custom as well. I’m also absolutely obsessed with there ROVE line. They take vintage clothes and make them fun and beautiful with feathers and rhinestones! This store is a must see if your in Toronto. The owner is so passionate, driven and personable. I will be an ARMED customer forever.

  • 5/5 nikki 1 year ago on Google
    First of all let me start by saying that the owner of the shop is incredible she is absolutely talented at what she does in making such unique and personalized jewellery! I came here for the first time and I grabbed a bunch of things as I couldn’t resist the price was great and I found so many unique options that don’t tarnish underwater. The owner was so awesome!! one of my favourites which is the evil eyenecklace and a silver chunky necklace that are in the photo that I posted. I will definitely be coming back everything is reasonably priced and the quality is exceptional! I can’t wait to come back and get more goodies I am obsessed with ARMED Jewellery!

  • 5/5 Sheena J. 1 year ago on Google
    If I could give 10 stars I would. I wear pieces from ARMED every single day. Never tarnishes, never fades and the option to layer, add charms and swap out chains has me hooked for life. The price point is incredible, service is top notch and the vibe in the shop is always so welcoming. I also love the option to custom make fine jewellery as well!

  • 5/5 Vivian P. 4 years ago on Google
    ARMED is a shining star in Toronto's boutique scene. Unapologetic, unique and always first to the trend. The store offers an impressive (and affordable) range of jewelry and accessories that have established a cult following across the city. Full disclosure, I wear my Armed stacks literally every single day. The store itself has a super stylish yet completely unpretentious vibe - which can be attributed to an impeccable standard of customer experience that is maintained at both locations. There is never I time I leave ARMED not smiling. Everyone who works there is incredibly genuine and works to make every customer feel welcome. I've been to several ARMED events, from pop-ups to flea markets and there is an palpable sense of community that sets it apart from the rest. Would give higher than 5 stars if possible!

    I absolutely love ARMED and am besotted with their jewelry!!! It is truly tarnish-free and I have had a few pieces of their jewelry for several years now (necklaces) and have worn them in the shower, to the gym, and pretty much constantly; I have had no problems with them at all. They still look amazing with no tarnishing. 🥰 I have purchased many more items from ARMED in the last few months (rings, earrings, more necklaces and charms) and get many compliments on them. I had previously purchased tarnish-free jewelry at two other online stores (won’t mention their names) and they haven’t lived up to their claims; the pieces ended up being thrown out. I ONLY buy from ARMED now because I know they are of high quality. They cost slightly more than these other stores I purchased from…. but you get what you pay for, and still the pieces from ARMED are priced quite reasonably. They are super-chic and edgy, some more classy and traditional, so there’s something for every person’s style and budget. They have great sales as well, and the owner/designer is very kind and sweet as well as super-talented! I was so pleased when I asked for a necklace I had purchased to be extended a few extra inches and she did it for me on the spot. All employees I have met while shopping in-person have been very nice so I have nothing but great things to say about this little gem-of-a-place. I live in the suburbs of Toronto but really look forward to taking trips downtown to visit this awesome place. I’m addicted….😂

    I had the most amazing time creating a charm bracelet at Armed the other day. All of the charms were so creative and the charms were stunning. The service I received was so great, they gave me such great advice on how to style the bracelet and overall I just had a great conversation with the team at the boutique. I also was not expecting to see such an amazing selection of sunglasses and vintage clothing (some of which had been reworked in a very cool and chic way!). I am not from Toronto, but I sure wish I was because I would love to go to that boutique much more often! Thank goodness for their website! Thank you Armed for such a great customer experience (and for also making me look so cool when I recommend all my friends go there when visiting Toronto) <3

    I'm a huge fan of Armed and have been for a few years now! I have rings, charms, and bracelets in my collection that I wear in the shower and have had no issues with tarnishing on any of my pieces! My favourite part of shopping there has been all the compliments I get on the pieces, especially my martini glass charm! I also tend to be sensitive to certain metals and have had no sensitivity to any of Armed's jewelry. I couldn't recommend this place more, especially given the price point.
