Reimagining heirloom treasures into bespoke fine jewellery.

Awards & Recognition

Our Proudest Moments

Since we opened our doors on Granville Island, our greatest reward has been the look on a client’s face when they see their piece for the first time. Along the way, we’ve been honoured to have our work recognised by people we admire, here at home and further afield. Every one of these belongs as much to the clients who trusted us with their stories as it does to us.
