What an adventure my journey with D'Orlan has been! My first encounter with this incredible Canadian jewellery brand felt like discovering a hidden treasure buried in plain sight. Known for its impeccable craftsmanship and vibrant designs, D'Orlan quickly stole my heart—and has kept it ever since.
It all started with a chance connection to the owner’s son, whose family had taken over the D'Orlan factory. From there, our professional relationship blossomed into a friendship that’s lasted nearly two decades. I’ve made countless trips to Canada to see him and his family—each visit featuring endless cups of tea, far too many slices of cake (purely for research, of course), and no shortage of laughter. Every trip became a treasure hunt, with him digging through decades of D'Orlan stock to handpick pieces he knew I’d adore. Let’s just say leaving Canada without a suitcase full of jewels quickly became… unlikely!
What makes D'Orlan jewellery so unique?
D'Orlan jewellery is renowned for its exceptional quality, with each piece featuring 22ct triple gold or rhodium plating - ensuring a brilliance that lasts through the years. The brand’s signature bold, colourful designs are a testament to the artistry and skill that define D'Orlan’s unique place in Canadian jewellery.
And just when I thought the connection couldn’t get any closer, fate surprised me with one more twist: He had originally lived around the corner from my sister, and I was upset to hear he was moving. But then I discovered that he was moving just around the corner from my sister’s partner! With these little moments of serendipity, I can’t help but believe that some connections are simply meant to be. Clearly, the stars (or perhaps the postal codes) had aligned.
Today, I’m thrilled to share these vibrant D'Orlan pieces in our collection. Each item brings a story of artistry, friendship, and maybe even a sprinkle of fate. Dive in—you might just find your own hidden treasure!
