Engagement rings
Designed from scratch around the stone you bring, or one we source for you.
from $1,800 6 to 8 weeks
Every piece starts as a conversation at the bench.
Engagement rings, wedding bands and family jewellery made new again. We draw it, cast it and set it right here, in Saint-Roch.
How a commission works
Five steps, from the first sketch to the day you take it home. You see the piece progress at each one, and the price is settled before any work begins.
A visit to the workshop
Forty-five minutes to talk through what you have in mind, the budget and the timeline. Free, with nothing to sign.
Sketch and quote
Two or three hand-drawn proposals, with the metals and stones spelled out. Once you pick a sketch, the price is fixed.
Wax model
You try the piece in wax before a single ounce of gold is cast. This is the moment to adjust the shape or the size.
Casting and setting
Melting the metal, shaping it, then setting the stones by hand. You get photos at every stage.
Finishing and handover
Polishing, stone certificates and engraving if you want one. A cleaning and a prong check are on us every year.
What we make at the bench
The prices below are real starting points, not teasers. The final quote depends on the metal and the stones you choose.
Wedding bands
Matched pairs in yellow, white or rose gold. Inside engraving included.
from $950 4 weeks
Heirloom redesign
We melt down the jewellery you no longer wear and turn it into a piece you will.
from $900 6 weeks
Repair and restoration
Resoldering, resizing, prong replacement, bringing older pieces back to life.
from $85 estimate within 48 h
Recent pieces
Every piece is one of a kind, but these give a good sense of what's possible.
The workshop
Camille Brunissoir learned the trade at the École de joaillerie de Montréal, then spent twelve years at other jewellers' benches before opening her own in 2011.
The workshop is small on purpose: about a dozen custom commissions a year, which leaves time to do the work properly and to answer the phone in person.
The metals come from Canadian refineries and the stones from brokers who can name the mine. When a stone has a murky history, we don't work with it.
We showed up with my grandmother's ring and a vague idea. We left with something my partner wears every single day.
The wax model changes everything. I got to try the ring on three times before it actually existed.
Book a visit
Tell us what you have in mind. We answer within one business day with a few times that work.
Nothing is actually sent: this is a demonstration.
