A J.Lo and Meghan Markle fave, jewelry designer Dean Davidson opens his first boutique in Toronto

It was that, and more, at a recent shimmering shindig celebrating the opening of Dean Davidson, on Berkeley Street in Cabbagetown South. The 1,000-square-foot space – near Davidson’s home – is airy and modern, with windows all around, and once housed a men’s clothing store that Davidson himself used to frequent. “This inspired the gemstone I used in our recently launched Eterna collection, inspired by ancient Rome.”The original “Sex and the City” series is another eternal yardstick. “It aired right around the time I started with jewelry design.”Inspiration can come from anywhere, at any time, he says. Destinations that have inspired him include Kyoto, Bali, Marrakesh and the Lençóis Maranhenses park in northern Brazil.
