Summer in Ottawa hits differently when you're juggling family time, backyard BBQs, and maybe (if you're lucky) a quiet coffee on the porch. When it’s hot out and the schedule is packed, the last thing you want is jewelry that gets in the way. That’s where my lightweight, low-maintenance pieces come in—designed to move with you and actually feel good on.
Here are four pieces I keep reaching for all summer long—handcrafted in my Ottawa studio, made to wear on repeat.
Round Initial Necklace - Your go-to for tees, tanks, and everything in between.
14k gold-filled and sterling silver chains—light enough to forget you’re wearing them.
Add more than one initial pendant if you’ve got more in the family.
Looks just as good with a linen button-down as it does with a splash pad outfit.
Inspired by early morning shimmer on the Rideau (before the kids wake up).
Huggie Textured Stud Earrings - No tug, no drama, just simple hoops that stay put.
Ultra-lightweight and low profile, so they won’t pull on your ears—even if you’re wearing them all day.
Available in gold-filled or silver—match your mood or your sunglasses.
Slip them on for a park playdate or a kid-free dinner (imagine that).
UNWAVERED Ring - Minimal but interesting—because you’ve got enough on your hands.
Statement enough to work solo or pair it with another ring.
Play with mixed metals.
Designed to be comfortable in the heat—no swelling, no sticking.
Hand-textured in my Ottawa studio that mimics water ripples on a quiet lake.
Minimalist Birthstone Necklace - Low-key but still makes a statement.
A simple shape on a short chain that sits just right.
Works with scoop necks, tanks, swimsuits—whatever summer throws at you.
Layer it or wear it solo—it’s made to be flexible.
Each one is hand-crafted right in my Ottawa studio.
Summer Jewelry That Fits Real Life
These pieces were designed for real-life summer moments—not just beach photos. They’re lightweight, comfy, and built to last through sunscreen, sticky fingers, and spontaneous road trips.
