Our story
About Ollijewelry
Hello, I'm Olga
Welcome to my world of handcrafted jewelry! My name is Olga, and I’m the heart and hands behind Ollijewelry. Originally from Ukraine, I made Montreal my home in 2012, bringing with me a deep appreciation for artistry and craftsmanship that has shaped everything I create today.
My Story
From my cozy studio in Montreal, I pour my passion into every piece of jewelry I create. What started as a personal love for beautiful, unique accessories has blossomed into Ollijewelry – a brand dedicated to bringing you handcrafted earrings that celebrate both elegance and comfort.
My journey from Ukraine to Canada has enriched my creative perspective, blending the traditional artisan values I grew up with and the vibrant, multicultural inspiration I find in Montreal. Each piece I create carries a bit of this story – a fusion of old-world craftsmanship and contemporary Canadian style.
The Art Behind the Jewelry
In my little Montreal studio, magic happens daily. I begin each creation by carefully selecting premium polymer clay in vibrant colors, shaping it into unique designs that speak to both timeless beauty and modern sensibility. Every earring is meticulously cured for lasting strength, then sanded and polished to perfection.
The details matter to me – whether it’s adding delicate embellishments like beads or metallic accents, or ensuring every piece uses hypoallergenic posts and hooks perfect for sensitive ears. This attention to detail isn’t just about quality; it’s about creating jewelry that becomes part of your story.
Through My Lens
As a passionate photographer, I see the world through a different perspective – one that deeply influences my jewelry design. Armed with my collection of professional lenses, particularly my beloved 100mm macro lens, I capture every intricate detail of my creations. This isn’t just for showcasing my work; photography has taught me to notice the subtle beauty in textures, the way light plays across surfaces, and how shadows can enhance a piece’s character.
My dual passion for photography and jewelry creation creates a unique synergy. The photographer in me ensures that every curve, every finish, and every detail of my jewelry is worthy of being captured and celebrated. It’s this photographic eye that helps me create pieces that are not just beautiful to wear, but beautiful to behold.
My Promise to You
Every Ollijewelry piece is proudly made in Canada with a commitment to quality that goes beyond the surface. I believe jewelry should bring joy to your everyday moments and add that special touch to your most memorable occasions. Whether you’re treating yourself or finding the perfect gift, each piece is crafted with the same care and attention I’d give to jewelry for my own loved ones.
When you choose Ollijewelry, you’re not just purchasing an accessory – you’re becoming part of a story that spans continents, cultures, and creative passions. You’re supporting a small Canadian business and an artisan who believes that beautiful, handcrafted jewelry should be accessible, comfortable, and uniquely yours.
From My Studio to Your Collection
Thank you for allowing me to share my passion with you. I invite you to explore my collections and find the pieces that speak to your personal style. Each earring that leaves my Montreal studio carries with it my commitment to quality, my artistic vision, and my hope that it will bring a little extra beauty to your world.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
With love from Montreal,
Olga
