Vintage jewellery in Toronto/the GTA ?

I’m looking for recommendations for stores in the Toronto area (general or downtown, or otherwise in Mississauga, Lakeshore or Etobicoke) that carry or specialize in vintage, vintage replica or costume jewelry. ***Nothing GENERIC***, ie, nothing you would find in a Peoples or a Costo jewelery case. Could be jewlery stores, or even cases in a clothing boutique, whatever… any ideas?

Additional info: I’m planning on buying a ring or some other piece of jewelery for my sister as a university graduation gift.
She is a designer so I really want to avoid anything generic and want to move towards something dramatic, art deco or even something sweet (like a gentle pearl string bracelet.. as long as it is not forgettable). I don’t want to go to an “expensive” store but I’m willing to spend up to a few hundred for a unique quality piece because it’s something I want her to have forever.

I would go to Kensington Market to look for something vintage. It’s fantastic – it is full of little vintage shops and independent designers. It is located just west of downtown Toronto, in the Spadina-Dundas-Bathurst-College area.
