Henry Birks & Sons, a 125-year-old Canadian jewellery company has revealed it is to open its first US based manufacturing and product development centre.

The move is likely to create new job opportunities since the company plans to use Rhode Island's skilled jewellery workers as its workforce.

A former employee of Tiffany's is already group vice president of supply chain operations for Birks and mayors as part of the new move.

Gold product development will now be focused at the new facility along with silver and gemstones pieces.

The business offers fine jewellery and diamond rings and also designs and makes wristwatches, gifts and clocks.

Birks has 38 stores across Canada and Mayors Jewelers has 28 stores in operation in Florida and Georgia.
