Inside the Jewellery Houses: What We Look for When We Source
There is a particular kind of magic inside jewellery houses around the world. The quiet hum of craftsmanship. The rhythm of hands shaping metal. The soft glow of gold catching natural light. It is where artistry and intention meet, and where the heart of Linked by Brilla comes alive.
When we travel for sourcing, whether to Italy for Vicenzaoro or to connect with designers across Canada and Europe, we are not simply browsing collections. We are looking for pieces that carry meaning, honour tradition, and reflect the modern women we serve.
This is the part of the story most people never see. The conversations. The standards. The discernment behind every piece we bring home.
What We Look for in Every Designer
Choosing who earns a place in the Brilla collection is a thoughtful and layered process. We look beyond surface beauty and trends to understand the substance behind the work.
Here is what guides every sourcing decision:
Craftsmanship that speaks without words
Gold that feels alive. Stones set with intention. Details that reveal the hand and care behind the piece. True craftsmanship is felt, not explained.
A story worth carrying forward
We take time to understand the designer, their background, and what inspires their work. Jewellery without story is decoration. Jewellery with story becomes personal.
Integrity in how pieces are made
Where materials come from and how artisans are supported matters deeply to us. Responsible production and ethical practices shape the true value of jewellery.
Timelessness over trends
Trends pass quickly. We curate pieces designed to live beyond seasons and evolve with personal style over time.
These values guide every conversation, every question we ask, and every piece we choose.
Meeting Designers Where Their Work Comes to Life
While Italy holds a special place in our sourcing journey, it is only one chapter of a much broader global story. We connect with designers across Canada, Europe, and beyond, most often through in-person conversations at international tradeshows like Vicenzaoro.
These settings allow us to experience collections up close, understand design philosophies, and ask the questions that matter. The energy is unmistakable. Rooms filled with creativity, craftsmanship, and artists deeply connected to their work.
Over the years, we have also had the privilege of visiting select workshops. Whether in a studio or at a showcase, what we look for remains the same: integrity, intention, and artistry that translates beautifully into everyday life.
Our sourcing is not defined by geography. It is defined by connection.
Why This Matters for You
Most clients never see this side of the jewellery world, but it is the reason our pieces feel different.
When you choose jewellery from Linked by Brilla, you are choosing:
Craftsmanship over mass production
Connection over convenience
Meaning over marketing
Legacy over impulse
You are choosing pieces selected with care, discernment, and an understanding of how jewellery fits into real life.
A Curation Built Around You
Our sourcing process begins and ends with the women we serve.
We consider lifestyle, personal style, versatility, and the emotional role jewellery plays in your life. This is not retail. It is not transactional. It is thoughtful curation guided by experience and connection.
Every designer we work with and every piece we bring home is chosen with intention, so that when it reaches you, it already feels personal.
Discover Jewellery with Intention
The beauty of global craftsmanship lies not only in how a piece looks, but in how it feels when you wear it.
If you are ready to explore jewellery chosen with artistry, care, and purpose, we would love to guide you.
