Stanpro: Lighting Project Highlight – Hemsleys Jewellers, Montréal, QC
Established in 1870 by Richard Hemsley, Hemsleys Jewellers is the oldest jewellery store in Canada. A family-owned business established over 150 years ago. Hemsleys has been serving Montreal communities for generations. It is well known within the luxury gemstone industry that lighting plays an integral role in preserving the visual authenticity of precious stones and gems. This is why most jewelers pay very special attention to each type of lighting they include in their stores and displays. The wrong color spectrum can make some stones flash while muting the color intensity of others. Having the expert knowledge and the inventory to accommodate industry-specific needs, Stanpro was mandated for Hemsleys’ newest renovations. The scope of this project included redoing the ceilings and cabinet lights while making sure to include lighting fixtures that have large color spectrums that are customizable, easy to change, and reliable.
