Jewellers Scarborough families reach in one short drive
Scarborough's east end sits about 14 km from Lucio's Gold, a family-owned shop among the jewellers Scarborough couples reach by Kennedy, McCowan or Highway 404.
Three roads from Scarborough to Woodbine and Highway 7
From most of Scarborough you reach us by heading north. McCowan Road, Kennedy Road and Highway 404 each lead toward Highway 7 and Woodbine Avenue, and the shop at 7800 Woodbine Ave is about 14 km from the middle of the borough. Check live traffic, because Steeles can slow things at rush hour.
Kennedy Road and McCowan Road run north from Scarborough straight into Markham. They cross Steeles Avenue, which marks the Toronto boundary, and carry on toward Highway 7.
Highway 404 is the third option, and it is the fastest when the road is clear. The 407 toll highway runs east and west just north of Steeles if you prefer a direct crossing, but check the cost first.
Call (905) 475-1702 if you would like route advice from your own street.
- Kennedy Road north: through Agincourt toward Markham.
- McCowan Road north: a direct line from Scarborough Town Centre's side of the borough.
- Highway 404 north: from Highway 401, then to Highway 7.
- Finish at 7800 Woodbine Ave, Markham L3R 2N7.
Engagement rings Scarborough couples design with us
We make custom engagement rings for couples across Scarborough, from Agincourt and Malvern to Guildwood and the Bluffs. We hand-pick diamonds with the highest-quality cuts, discuss metals and settings, and take the time to explain quality versus cost. You can compare us with anyone, and we encourage it.
A proposal in Scarborough might happen at Bluffer's Park under the cliffs, or on the lawn at the Guild Inn in Guildwood. The setting changes the ring you picture, and we like to hear about that moment before we draw anything.
Start with our notes on engagement rings, then think about shape. A round brilliant, an oval or an emerald cut each handles light differently, and a bezel sits lower than a six-prong head.
If you can, bring a photo of the hand that will wear the ring. Finger shape and daily work decide more than people expect. Engagement rings Scarborough buyers ask about most often are solitaires, three-stone rings and halo settings, and we can explain how each one wears.
A circle of small diamonds around the centre stone is one of the most requested styles. Our page on halo engagement rings explains how it wears.
Wedding bands Scarborough families choose
Wedding bands Scarborough couples order from us come in gold, platinum and diamond-set styles, made to sit comfortably with an engagement ring. We talk through width, profile and how each metal wears. A plain band and a pave band behave very differently over decades, so we show them side by side.
Scarborough is home to some of the most varied communities in the GTA, and the weddings reflect it. Rings often need to suit more than one tradition, and sometimes more than one metal colour.
See our page on wedding bands for metals and styles, and try the 3D ring creator to test a profile before you visit. It never shows a price, and it sends a design brief we can discuss.
Matching sets and mixed pairs are both common. Ask us what lasts, and we will answer from experience, so the rings you wear for decades are ones you chose calmly.
Many couples order two different styles, and our guide to men's wedding bands shows what a broad, plain band looks like on the hand.
- Choose width by finger size and daily hand use.
- Think about stacking with an existing engagement ring.
- Consider yellow, white or rose gold, or platinum.
- Ask about engraving and finishes.
Whether it is a cliff-top proposal or a kitchen one, the ring should fit the life it joins.
Where in Scarborough our customers come from
Scarborough is large, and the drive varies. Agincourt and Malvern are the closest, while Guildwood, West Hill and the Bluffs need a longer run. Scarborough Town Centre sits in the middle and is a common starting point for directions. Knowing your corner helps us suggest the easiest route.
Agincourt, near Sheppard and Kennedy, is the shortest trip north. The Stouffville GO line also stops at Agincourt station, which is a handy fact if you prefer rail.
Malvern sits in the north-east corner. Many Malvern residents reach Markham along McCowan or Markham Road in a few turns.
Guildwood, West Hill and the Bluffs sit toward Lake Ontario and Highway 401. Those routes run north on Markham Road or Kennedy, then across to Highway 7.
Scarborough Town Centre, one of the larger malls in the borough, is a useful landmark. If you come from there, McCowan is the line to follow.
Proposal places and the rings they inspire
Scarborough has some of the most dramatic scenery in the GTA. The Bluffs rise up to about 90 metres above Lake Ontario, and Bluffer's Park, the Guild Inn grounds and the Rouge area all draw couples. A ring should be designed to be seen against that backdrop, in daylight and in photographs.
The Scarborough Bluffs are a long escarpment on the Lake Ontario shore, and the lookouts at Cathedral Bluffs and Scarborough Bluffs Park are popular for a quiet moment. Wind off the lake is real, so a secure setting matters.
The Guild Inn Estate in Guildwood has gardens, ruins and lawns that suit a more formal proposal. Wedding photography happens there often, so the ring is photographed as much as it is worn.
Choose a setting with a low profile if you are active outdoors. A bezel or a lower basket protects the stone, and we can show both.
- Cliff-top light is strong: ask how a stone looks outdoors.
- Windy waterfront: choose a secure setting for a ring you will wear daily.
- Photography: a polished band catches reflections, a matte finish does not.
- Guild Inn style: consider vintage-inspired detail.
Taking GO from Agincourt or Kennedy
The Stouffville GO line passes through Scarborough and into Markham. Kennedy and Agincourt are Scarborough stops, followed by Milliken, Unionville, Centennial and Markham. Trains give you a way to reach the area without driving, then a short bus or taxi ride covers the final distance to Woodbine. Check the current schedule.
GO trains do not run as often as the subway, and off-peak service is lighter. Look up the day's timetable before you set out, and confirm the return trip as well.
From Unionville or Centennial, York Region Transit routes serve Highway 7. A rideshare is the easiest way to finish the last stretch if the bus timing is awkward.
If you want a lift in your plans, call (905) 475-1702 and we will tell you what to expect on arrival.
Jewellers Scarborough shoppers can compare freely
A jewellery store Scarborough residents visit should let them compare. We are family-owned, we have served the GTA for more than 30 years, and we encourage you to shop around before you decide. Scarborough has plenty of jewellers, and we would rather you choose with confidence than in a hurry.
Compare the same stone on three counters. Ask how the cut is judged, what the colour grade means to the eye, and where a flaw sits in the diamond. Good answers do not change from one shop to the next.
Our guide to diamond 4Cs gives you the questions, and our page on loose diamonds shows how we choose stones.
We supply lab-grown and natural diamonds, so you can compare the two on the same counter.
Bring your notes from other counters. We will read them with you.
Jewelry repair Scarborough residents can drop off, and a word on watches
Jewelry repair Scarborough homes need often involves rings, necklaces and bracelets, and we handle those at the Markham shop. We also resize rings, repair watches and replace batteries. Bring the piece, and we examine it with you, explain what failed and describe the fix.
Typical repairs include tightening a loose stone, replacing a worn prong or rejoining a chain. We do not quote turnaround times before we have held the work in our hands.
Read about jewellery repair for an outline of what to ask.
A ring that has stretched or gone tight is a common visit. We resize rings in the shop, and our page on ring resizing explains what is involved.
Watch repair Scarborough owners ask about is usually a battery or a strap. We repair watches and replace batteries at 7800 Woodbine Ave. See watch repair for what to bring.
Heirlooms are worth a visit before problems grow. A loose prong is easy to fix, while a lost stone is hard to replace.
Before you drive north
A little preparation makes the trip worthwhile. Call ahead, decide roughly what you want to look at, and bring any piece you want to match or repair. If you can, bring a photo of the hand or a ring you already wear. We can then spend the visit on choices rather than introductions.
Write down your questions. How is the cut judged? Which metal suits daily wear? How do the options compare with other stores you have visited? We like it when people arrive with a list.
Bring the old ring, the broken chain or the heirloom you hope to reuse. A piece in hand tells us more than a description, and we can discuss what is possible.
Plan your route with a live map, decide if the 407 toll road is worth the cost, and leave margin around rush hour.
- Call (905) 475-1702 to confirm someone is free to talk.
- Choose your route: Kennedy, McCowan or Highway 404.
- Bring photos, old pieces and your list of questions.
- Allow time to compare stones without rushing.
Gold jewelry Scarborough families give at milestones
Gold jewelry Scarborough families give often marks a graduation, a new baby or an anniversary. Necklaces, bracelets and watches sit alongside rings, and we help match a piece to the person. Ask about gold chains, diamond pendants and sterling silver, and we will show you what is on the counter.
A gold chain is a classic gift because it works every day. Weight and link style determine how it hangs, and we take time to show you the difference. Shoppers who want gold jewelry Scarborough stores stock in many styles can compare here too.
Look at gold jewellery for chains and bracelets, and bring a photo of the style you like. Silver and pearl suit lighter pieces. Link styles and weights are covered in our guide to gold chains.
For something personal, ask about a custom piece. A drawing from a child or a grandparent's handwriting can become a pendant.
If you are between Scarborough and the next city
Scarborough borders Markham, Pickering and downtown Toronto, so many customers live close to a boundary. If your address is nearer Pickering or Ajax, read those pages. If you are closer to North York, start there. Each page lists a route from its own streets and a short list of local landmarks.
North York is about 14 km west by road. See jewellery in North York if that is nearer. Toronto covers the downtown and east-end routes.
Our Markham shop page describes the neighbourhoods around 7800 Woodbine Ave, which helps if you want to plan a day around your visit.
Call (905) 475-1702 or visit 7800 Woodbine Ave. Come and try a ring on, ask your questions, and take your time.

Yes. The Stouffville GO line stops at Kennedy and Agincourt in Scarborough, then Milliken, Unionville, Centennial and Markham. You will need a short bus or taxi ride to reach Woodbine and Highway 7. Check the current schedule, because service varies by day and time.
