Bond Boyd (Toronto, Canada)Founded in 1940 in Toronto, Ontario, Bond Boyd is highly regarded for creating elite-tier, manufacturing-house sterling silver jewelry with heavy botanical, leaf, and floral motifs. Their mid-century work is defined by high-grade 3D sculptural craftsmanship. Avon of Belleville (Belleville, Canada)Note for description accuracy: Collectors highly prize "Avon Sterling" because it does not originate from the famous American cosmetics brand. Instead, it represents Avon of Belleville, founded in 1945 by Abe Mazer in Belleville, Ontario. Famous legendary designer Marcel Boucher frequently designed for them. The company closed in 1971, making these authentic sterling pieces highly sought-after, rare items. Pickup category timeslot {A}
