Vault is a sculptural narrative of wearable dreams and human memories in dialogue with art, form and metal.
Vault was born from a desire to rethink what jewelry can be—beyond decoration, beyond trend, beyond status. It emerged from a need for objects that carry weight, intention, and meaning; pieces that feel considered rather than ornamental.
In a culture defined by speed, excess, and constant replacement, Vault exists as a counterpoint. The studio creates jewelry as a lasting presence—objects designed to be lived with, kept, and understood over time. Vault speaks to those who seek depth, clarity, and authorship in what they choose to wear, and why.
We see the body, life, and personal style as an open canvas—shaped by time, experience, and choice. Each individual becomes both the artwork and the curator of their own museum. Vault exists to honor that authorship, treating adornment not as surface decoration, but as a personal and intentional act.

The Craft
Vault approaches jewelry as a material and spatial practice. Each piece is developed through a sculptural lens, where structure, narrative, and material logic guide the design process. Jewelry is treated as small-scale architecture—objects that exist in dialogue with the body.
Form is never arbitrary. It is shaped by balance, function, and the emotional relationship between object and wearer. Every piece begins with narrative and intention, evolving through a careful process of ideation, refinement, and making. The result is jewelry that feels grounded, precise, and enduring.
Materials are chosen for their integrity, durability, and how they age against the body—how they carry time, touch, and wear. Vault values restraint over excess, refinement over repetition, and clarity over noise.
All of our pieces are handcrafted and made to order in Toronto. Production is intentionally small-scale, allowing for close attention to detail and quality at every stage of creation. This approach ensures that each object is made with care, patience, and presence—rather than speed or volume.
Working locally allows Vault to remain deeply connected to its materials, processes, and standards. Each piece passes through the studio by hand, reinforcing a commitment to thoughtful making, ethical production, and long-term durability. These are objects shaped by human touch, not mass repetition.

Form is never arbitrary; it is shaped by function, balance, and the emotional relationship between object and wearer. Each piece begins with narrative and intention. Form follows function, balance, and the emotional relationship between object and wearer.
Our designs without gendered limitations, creating objects for all individuals and expressions. Sustainability, ethical production, and transparency are integral to the studio’s practice, informing every creative and operational decision.

Vault’s creative universe is shaped by four core principles: imagination as structure, intimacy as presence, continuity as practice, and individual expression as authorship.
Intimacy defines the relationship between object and body. Vault designs are meant to be experienced at close range—through weight, texture, and balance. Each piece engages the body not as a surface, but as a living site of movement, memory, and emotion.
Continuity shapes how Vault creates over time. The studio rejects seasonal urgency in favor of an evolving design language, where objects coexist across collections and moments. Forms develop slowly, allowing meaning to deepen and relevance to endure rather than expire.
Individual expression remains central to Vault’s universe. Pieces are created without prescribed identity, gender, or interpretation. They exist as open forms—meant to be inhabited, defined, and carried by the individual. In this space, adornment becomes an act of personal authorship rather than conformity.
Sustainability, ethical production, and transparency are integral to Vault’s practice—not as trends, but as daily decisions that inform every creative and operational choice.
