While collaborating to create our "Initial Necklace" we had the pleasure of spending time with Paula of The Pirate & The Gypsy, and she is a treasure! We just couldn't keep her and her talents to ourselves.

Paula creates beautiful, consciously made, affordable jewelry in limited runs of ready to wear pieces, but also specializes in custom design. She has made many women's engagement ring dreams come to life, and also matched a lot of husband/wife ring fingers. And yes she also offers jewelry repairs for even your most precious pieces (like Samantha's family heirloom ring).

It's hard to imagine that The Pirate & The Gypsy was born out of personal need. Paula who is always perfectly adorned with her own custom designs, was for years not wearing any jewelry at all due to severe metal allergies. Tired of being caught in the constant struggle of searching for unique quality pieces that she was able to wear, and also fit her style and bank account she began designing pieces for herself and there-in a talent and genuine love for her craft was discovered.

All of The Pirate & The Gypsy pieces are hand crafted by Paula in the custom home studio in New Westminster, BC, built by her (also creative) husband Joel.

This woman is truly her brand. Paula's free spiritedness and boho whimsy can be seen in her constant use of new stones, gems, and techniques in all The Pirate & The Gypsy pieces.

Paula along with her husband Joel hand pick all the materials. Using only quality hypoallergenic metals and ethically sourced natural stones, the diamonds (YES!) are conflict free red box diamonds and guaranteed for 1 year.

Paula's craft, and passion for designing and creating unique quality pieces (for even the most sensitive skin types) is evident in all her creations.

The Moon Stoned Necklace

This piece is another one of our personal favorites from The Pirate & The Gypsy ready to wear collection. The Moon Stoned necklace is a perfect example of the unique details, creativity and craftsmanship found in Paula's pieces.

This delicate sterling silver crescent moon necklace has a serrated setting to give the center stone the look of a starburst. Available with a Blue Topaz, Pink Tourmaline or Peridot stone. Wear it in its own or layer it with longer necklaces. It's a must have for those who love a touch of the bohemian look.

The Pirate & The Gypsy is truly a variety of unique and hand crafted pieces inspired by Paula's love of the ocean, design, and discovery.
