Gaston Rivest and Maida Diver opened their family business shortly after their wedding in 1962. The Rivest family began creating wonderful enamel jewelry in Châteauguay, a suburb of Montreal in southwestern Quebec, Canada.
Handcrafted from gold or silver plated metal and enamel and marked with the words “Rivest Fait Au Quebec made in Canada” on the back, the jewelry is of high quality.
Made in the 1960s and 1970s, Rivest jewelry is rare on the vintage jewelry market and highly collectible.
It is noteworthy that Maida and Gaston founded another company GASTON & MAIDA RIVEST METIERS D’ART ENR in 1985, not related to the jewelry business.
