There is something unforgettable about a gift that was made by hand. The detail, the intention, the story behind it. At Made You Look, every piece in our Toronto studio carries that kind of meaning. It's more than jewellery. It's a reminder of how connection, creativity, and craftsmanship can turn a moment into something lasting.
This season, we invite you to give differently. To skip the mass-produced, and choose the made-for-someone pieces designed by local artists whose hands, hearts, and imagination bring every design to life.
Handmade in Toronto
Our studio has always been about community and collaboration. We represent over 100 Canadian jewellery artists, each with their own voice, aesthetic, and process. When you shop here, you're not just choosing a piece of jewellery, you're supporting independent creators who put purpose behind every polish and curve.
Toronto has a long history of creative craftsmanship, and we're proud to keep that tradition alive in the heart of Queen West. Whether you're visiting us in-store or browsing online, you'll find work that celebrates individuality in every form.
Engagement Rings That Tell Your Story
An engagement ring is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give. It should reflect the person, the story, and the moment it represents.
Our Engagement Rings Collection includes designs ranging from traditional solitaires to contemporary shapes set with salt and pepper diamonds, sapphires, or one-of-a-kind gemstones.
We also collaborate directly with clients who want something completely unique. Whether you're designing from scratch or reimagining an heirloom, our artists guide you through each stage — from concept to casting. Because no two love stories are the same, and neither should two rings be.
The Subtle Beauty of Salt and Pepper Diamonds
Perfectly imperfect. That's how we describe our Salt & Pepper Diamond Collection. These stones, speckled with natural inclusions, are an alternative to traditional white diamonds: moody, modern, and full of character.
They remind us that beauty doesn't have to be flawless. Each salt and pepper diamond has its own constellation of inclusions, making every ring or pendant completely distinct.
Our artists often use them in custom engagement pieces, where their individuality mirrors the uniqueness of the relationship they represent.
The Return of the Brooch
There's a reason brooches are having a moment again. They're bold, versatile, and brimming with personality.
Our Brooches and Pins Collection showcases everything from sculptural silver pieces to whimsical enamel accents, jewellery that adds conversation and texture to any outfit.
They're also one of the most sustainable ways to accessorize. A single handcrafted brooch can transform a coat, sweater, or scarf, season after season.
The Quiet Confidence of Purple Sapphire
Purple sapphire isn't just beautiful, it's symbolic. Associated with wisdom, creativity, and transformation, it's one of our favourite gemstones to work with.
Our Purple Sapphire Collection captures the stone's subtle range of tones, from soft lilac to deep violet. Many of our artists use ethical sourcing and alternative metals to enhance the natural colour and clarity of each gem.
For those who prefer understated luxury, purple sapphire offers depth and meaning without the need for extravagance.
Jewellery as Storytelling
Every piece of handmade jewellery carries the fingerprint of its maker. It's a quiet collaboration between artist and wearer, one that becomes more personal over time.
We believe jewellery is a form of storytelling. A locket passed between generations, a ring inscribed with a date, or a bracelet clasped during a milestone moment. These details are what give meaning to metal and stone.
You can see this connection in our artists' work, and even more so in the stories our clients share when they find “the one” piece that feels like theirs.
Personal Touches That Last
A name. A phrase. A date that means everything.
We offer engraving services so you can personalize any piece with words that matter most. Whether it's inside a ring, on a pendant, or hidden along the edge of a cuff, these small details create lifelong keepsakes.
Our full list of jewellery services and repairs includes cleaning, resizing, and restoration, so your favourite pieces can evolve with you through the years.
The Modern Symbol of Connection
For something truly unique, our Permanent Bracelet Service offers a lasting reminder of connection. These delicate, custom-fitted chains are welded seamlessly around the wrist, no clasp, no break, just a simple and elegant symbol of permanence.
They make beautiful friendship bracelets, anniversary gifts, or tokens of self-love. Every piece is custom-sized in-studio by our trained jewellers, ensuring both comfort and precision.
The Rise of Cufflinks
Jewellery isn't just for adornment; it's an expression of identity. Our Cufflinks Collection brings artistry to classic menswear. From sterling silver to mixed metals and creative motifs, each design adds personality to formal attire.
They also make thoughtful gifts, personal, practical, and timeless.
The Power of Gemstones and Their Meaning
We love working with stones that tell stories. Each gem carries history, energy, and meaning that connects deeply with its wearer.

We believe understanding your gemstone makes wearing it that much more powerful. Every colour, every facet, every choice becomes intentional.
Ring Sizing
Few things are more personal than a ring. That's why fit matters just as much as design. Our Ring Sizing in Toronto service ensures every ring feels just right, comfortable, secure, and crafted to last.
We handle everything in-house, whether it's a new design or a beloved heirloom being resized for a new chapter.
Keeping Handmade Jewellery at Its Best
Caring for handcrafted jewellery is simple but important. Keep pieces stored separately to prevent scratches, avoid harsh cleaning agents, and bring them in periodically for professional care.
Our studio offers Jewellery Repairs and Cleaning year-round. A quick polish or repair can breathe new life into a piece you already love and make it shine for decades to come.
Why Handmade Means More
In an age of fast everything, handmade remains personal. It carries intention. It supports artisans who see jewellery not as a trend, but as craft.
This season, give meaning. Choose gifts that tell stories and pieces that outlast the wrapping paper. Whether it's a salt and pepper diamond ring, a permanent bracelet, or a simple engraved pendant, it's not just jewellery. It's art meant to be worn.
