Our Family

01

Jim

Shop Owner & Designer

Jim has been a sales representative for over 30 years, working for numerous Italian luxury jewellery and watch brands. Jim wants to make the jewellery buying process an easy and informative experience, where the customer leaves San Marco knowing more than when they entered San Marco. He always has time for a conversation and a good cup of coffee!

Clara

In Loving Memory

Clara started watchmaking at 14 years old in Venice, Italy. She grew up learning how a timepiece works and throughout the years has found a great love for the art of jewellery. When Clara immigrated from Italy, she opened her own jewellery store in Vancouver, before reconnecting with San Marco’s founder Antonio Rancan. The world lost her in 2024 but we know she still watches over us.
