All of our pieces are entirely hand crafted in our Toronto studio by our small, talented team. Laurie hand-carves every design; they are not 3D modelled on a computer and 3D printed— this includes our bespoke pieces. Each one is carved from wax, polished and stone-set by hand.
Every piece is highly considered at every angle and carved from wax to perfectly compliment the stones that will be set. We don’t use pre-fabricated, mass-produced settings made for fitting various stones and solder them on. Every setting is carved in-studio, in our signature style with special attention paid to how it will frame the stone and overall design, and how it will wear. Every small detail, down to our claw-shaped prongs, are shaped meticulously by hand.
- Gold: our collection is made with recycled Canadian gold.

- Stones: All of the stones in our collection are ethically-sourced and conflict-free. They are natural, mined stones.
- Diamonds: Along with being ethically-sourced and conflict-free, we work with recycled diamonds whenever we can for the least environmental impact.
