The Studio
Tucked away on a side street in one of Vancouver’s oldest buildings, you’ll find the vine-covered courtyard that leads to our studio and showroom. Our business is based in a sunny heritage studio at the heart of Gastown, surrounded by boutiques, restaurants, history, and an ever-growing creative community. Touches of exposed brick, large light-streaming windows, and a cozy fireplace are just a few studio details that encapsulate our homage to enduring design.
We believe in the spirit of collaboration and collective ideas, which is highlighted by our open work space that comprises every aspect of our business. If you were to drop by at any given time you would overhear a medley of brainstorming discussions, clicks of the camera, and the light taps of gold being hammered. Visitors often mention that glimpsing into our collection of rainbow-coloured gem drawers is a highlight. The Leah Alexandra Studio is 100% fuelled by smart, vivacious women who make our brand stronger each and every day. We welcome you to come visit our shop-able studio anytime during business hours!
Leah Alexandra Jewelry is made by hand in our Vancouver studio, as well as by our manufacturers in Jaipur and Italy. Our stones are responsibly sourced from all over the world, and are then all sent to Jaipur where the stones are cut, faceted and set. Our manufacturer/supplier in Jaipur is a certified member of the RJC (Responsible Jewellery Council) and are also SMETA audited — the most recognized "gold standard” of certifications which ensures the most ethical practices are used.
These practices include environment, business, labour, safety and transparency. The majority of of silver used in our jewelry is recycled. We remain dedicated to creating quality jewelry while embracing sustainability — both to set an example for others and to create a long-lasting positive impact on the lives of those affected and their greater community.
