History
Jack d'Esterre and Frank Kinnear founded their jewelery business in 1906 with a loan from their former employer, The P.W. Ellis Company of Toronto. They were eventually joined by their sons, John d'Esterre and Art Kinnear in the 1940s. James Ian McAskill (Jack d'Esterre's son-in-law) purchased Frank Kinnear's half of the business in the mid-1950s. McAskill and John d'Esterre took over joint management until the mid-1970s until their retirements, then transferring management responsibilities on to R. Ian McAskill. He was joined by his brother-on-law, David Bearse, in 1978, and the two would manage the business until the firm wound down operations in 2004.
