Luxury with a conscience is making its mark in Toronto as Ecksand, the renowned French Canadian fine jewelry maison, expands into the heart of Yorkville. Since its founding in Montreal in 2009, Ecksand has redefined fine jewelry with its ethical craftsmanship, 100% recycled gold, and conflict-free gemstones; a commitment that continues with the grand opening of its Toronto boutique on February 1, 2025.
