Henry Birks & Company was established in Montreal in 1879 as a retail jeweler. . In 1897
Birks bought out Hendery & Leslie, their largest supplier of silverware, and began manufacturing their own products. Birks was by far the largest and most influential silverware manufacturer in Canada during the 20th century.

In 1934, Birks received a Royal Warrant to supply British royalty. Two decades later during a royal tour, the future queen, then Princess Elizabeth, was gifted a gem-laden platinum Birks necklace and famously said: “I have never received a more beautiful gift.” During World War II, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother) toured Canada. The Queen was presented with a diamond-set maple leaf brooch made by Birks, and when the war began, she always wore it on her lapel when she visited Canadian servicemen stationed in London.
