- Admin History/Bio
- Jewell Schwartz was the daughter of Jack and Minnie Schwartz and Sylvia Schwartz's cousin.
- In 1955, Jewell opened an upscale craft retail store called Trade Winds at 150 Bloor Street West. In 1963, she relocated the store to 138 Cumberland Street in Yorkville due to the previous building being torn down. Trade Winds remained at this location until her retirement in 1984. Jewell was known to take courses in the construction of the wares she sold, such as jewelry and pottery, to have a better idea of the materials she was selling.
- Jewell has donated several works of Inuit art to the University of Toronto Art Centre's permanent collection.
