Custom Bracelet Design in Toronto?

June 9, 2008 9:17 AM

Where in Toronto can I find someone who can make this custom bracelet?

I want to create a bracelet with a 6 word message, where each word is engraved on a separate disc/oval and the entire bracelet is connected together by links. Here is a good example of what I mean, but I'm looking for someone or somewhere that can make it a little bit more flashy and customized for a smaller wrist.

Does any one have any recommendations for someone around the Toronto area who can create a custom bracelet like this?

Try Metal & Stone, on Roncesvalles (I've never been a customer but have admired some of their designs), or just take a visit to the Distillery--lots of jewellers there.

Best answer: Etsy's my go-to place for custom jewelry (or at least it would be, if I bought custom jewelry)

You can use the Shop Local feature to find sellers in your area:
http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php?place=toronto

A quick glance finds some likely looking artisans:

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5531298

You might ask on the etsy forums for recommendations, too.

There is a Toronto Etsy Street Team, you could ask them.

Caveat, I don't know any of these sellers.

Good luck, it's a lovely bracelet.

Try 'Made you Look' on Queen West of Dufferin in Toronto. They have a number of accessory designers and artisans all under one roof and many do custom work. The studios and workshops are all on site - often you can speak to a designer on the spot. I've shopped there and enjoyed it. It's a very cool place. They have two stores that are across the street from each other - one does more wedding-type and classic pieces and the other does more fun, costume stuff. I can't remember which is which though. Good luck!

Response by poster: While I didn't find exactly what I was looking for from the Etsy links, I did some more searching on Etsy and found a supplier willing to make what I was looking for. Thanks!
