Never a 51st State
Canadian made jewelry, designed and handmade in Montréal, Canada. Canadian pride, worn boldly. Real maple leaves and vintage freshwater pearls honor our flag, our sovereignty and our resolve. For those who want to wear what Canada means to them.
Real maple leaves, made to last
At the heart of two necklaces is a real maple leaf, hand-collected, carefully dried and electroplated to preserve its natural beauty: in bronze for Canada: It Runs in Our Veins, and in sterling silver for Our North, Strong and Free. Unapologetically Canadian pairs a delicately crafted maple leaf with vintage freshwater pearls and white metal beads. Each is a limited edition.
Inspired by sovereignty. Fuelled by hope. Rooted in Canada. I made this collection as a love letter to Canada's vast landscapes, cultural richness and quiet strength, because sometimes elegant activism says everything.
