Since 2002, Argent Tonic has been a quiet force on Laurier Avenue, where Aaron Maya transforms silver and semi-precious stones into wearable works of art. Originally from Mexico, Maya brings an intuitive, hands-on approach to jewellery, pairing Montreal’s understated charm with bursts of Mexican warmth. Each piece—whether a hammered silver ring, a cascade of stone-set earrings, or a hand-molded pendant—tells a story rooted in craftsmanship and material discovery. Working alongside Teresa Gonzalez, founder of the TEGO brand, Maya continues to refine Argent Tonic’s signature style: exuberant yet grounded, original without ever feeling overworked. Beyond the ready-to-wear collection, the boutique also offers custom design and repairs, welcoming those who want something singular.
