Jewellery & Accessories
Murdoch’s Gem Shop specializes in one of a kind and hand crafted jewellery using genuine Klondike gold nuggets mined here in the Yukon. All gold nuggets used in our Jewellery are left in their raw natural state.
Many nuggets are formed by cold welding of smaller particles and fragments in streams and rivers. Each nugget is truly unique in its shape and size. All of our nuggets are found by local placer miners here in the Klondike ranging in purity from 79% to 89%.
Jewellery & Accessories
Made from genuine, eco-conscious prehistoric Woolly Mammoth or Mastodon Ivories, the ivories used for our jewellery pieces are range in age from 10,000 to 200,000 years. The beautiful hues of tan, brown and blue are a result of thousands of years of mineralization.

Maple Leaf Diamonds™ are mined in the pristine wilds of northern Canada. They are ranked among the world’s most exquisite and valued gems. Maple Leaf Diamonds™ are guaranteed natural and untreated and have a distinct maple leaf insignia and tracking number laser inscribed on the girdle.
