Every piece begins as a find from her travels, reworked by hand into jewelry meant to be mixed, layered and worn daily. Canadian-born designer Kristen Laborde’s jewellery reflects her clients desire for unique pieces that make a statement. Sophisticated, cheeky, refined, eclectic. Drawing inspiration from diverse ethnic backgrounds to shape her style, she mixes cultural styles with semi-precious stones, metals and beads sourced from all corners of the globe. Her pieces are inspired by her travels, surroundings and experiences. Laborde designs and hand crafts each piece with love for the individuals out there who dare to be different and who want to have a bit of cheeky fun. Her work has appeared in such publication as Flare, Strut, Canadian Living, Zoomer, Toronto Star, and National Post.
