Founded in 2013 by Myriam Elie, MYEL offers high-end jewelry designed, imagined, and handmade in Montreal, Canada with responsibly sourced raw materials. Since 2018, we have been a member of the Ethical Metalsmith Association, an organization whose mission is to promote responsible social and environmental practices. Being as transparent as possible about the origin of the materials we use is our priority. That is why we only work with ethical stones of which we know the origin such as Brazilian emeralds, Australian and Montana sapphires, Anthill garnets, upcycled diamonds and well as lab-grown diamonds, as well as Fairmined gold from artisanal mines in Peru that supports the economic and social development of local communities. From polishing to setting, every artisan we work with is as detail-oriented as we are, and are always considered experts in their domain. With a focus on important details and the all-important finishing touch, our designs are built to last and age well in an ever-evolving world of style. We strive to create the new classics of modern jewelry — luxurious, but without pretension. For us, a jewel is timeless, a precious heirloom that will be cherished from generation to generation.
