About Suetables
So, you like to get personal. So do we.
We’re a company of people who like to forge our own path and create and sell personalized products with style and substance. We were the first to hand stamp on jewelry in Canada on the spot. We led the movement of 'demi-fine' jewelry at a reasonable price in Canada, made from real metals. And we are inspired to bring meaning and quality in all that we do. From a basement hobby business to four stores (soon to be five) and an online web site that ships world wide, our brand stands for storytelling and innovation. For more than 12 years, we’ve made our own retail rules - employing all women and supporting mental health along the way.
Our shops are curated to house both Suetables-branded original jewelry designs, product collaborations with like-minded creators and soulful brands with whom we share a similar philosophy. We will have both an engraving machine and hand stamping at this location.
