Ecksand: Montreal’s Ethical Fine Jewelry Maison

Montreal, Canada’s renowned ethical fine jewelry maison, Ecksand, is making its mark on one of fashion’s most exclusive stages: New York Fashion Week 2025. In a private unveiling, the celebrated brand will introduce the next evolution of its journey, marking a bold step into the U.S. market.

This highly anticipated showcase follows the February launch of Ecksand’s first Toronto boutique in Yorkville, a milestone that reinforced the maison’s presence in Canada’s luxury landscape. Now, as it sets its sights beyond the border, Ecksand prepares for the grand opening of its first-ever U.S. store, bringing its signature blend of French Canadian savoir-faire, sustainability, and timeless elegance to a new audience.

Canadian Ethical Luxury, Redefined

For over 16 years, Ecksand has redefined luxury jewelry through its unwavering commitment to sustainability and artisanal craftsmanship. Each piece is designed with intention, crafted from 100% recycled gold and adorned with conflict-free gemstones, reflecting the maison’s deep respect for ethical practices and environmental responsibility.

The Ecksand Story: Where Timeless Elegance Meets Purpose

Founded in 2009 by Erica Bianchini and her partner, Ecksand was born from a vision to harmonize sustainability with refined artistry. In an industry often associated with excess, the maison took a different path; one that champions transparency, mindful craftsmanship, and heirloom-quality design.
