Stephanie of Calithien
THE ARTIST
“I absolutely love what I do. Even with all the challenges it presents (or possibly because of them), I wouldn’t change it for the world. I firmly believe that although your jewellery fits in a box, you shouldn’t have to!”
Stephanie creates her stock designs in sterling silver and gemstones. She also cuts her own gemstones to inlay. Her designs incorporate many different advanced jewellery techniques. She makes every piece herself, by hand. Design inspiration comes from many places—the natural world, classic design, history, even from stories. She always develops new pieces, and many of her designs are one of a kind.
HER STORY
She always wants to learn new things and to challenge herself, so the usual options in life for her weren’t enough. She wanted to imagine and design her own unique jewellery, using advanced techniques. For that, she needed knowledge and training.
In 2016, she enrolled in Georgian College’s Jewellery & Metals program, where she graduated at the top of her class. She then followed it with a post-graduate Goldsmith program, and then worked for a jeweller while she refined her skills.
HER BRAND
Calithien believes jewellery should be personal. They design and make all their jewellery, one piece at a time, using precious metals and gemstones. They aim for jewellery that is comfortable to wear and fits neatly into a woman’s life, while also reflecting her personality and individuality.
Their pieces are made for women who are trend-setters. Who love jewellery that has an artisan flair, with fine craftsmanship, and quality materials. For women who love jewellery that helps to express their beautiful and authentic selves.
