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.
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.
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.
Every Ecksand piece is handcrafted in the heart of Montreal, blending age-old techniques with innovative craftsmanship. The brand’s commitment to French Canadian artisanship ensures each creation is not just a piece of jewelry, but a testament to the enduring skill of North American makers.
Ecksand is a trailblazer in ethical fine jewelry, placing responsibly sourced materials and fair practices at the center of its ethos. From conflict-free gems to 100% recycled gold, every piece embodies a commitment to environmental responsibility and transparency.
In a landscape dominated by global conglomerates, Ecksand stands proudly independent, a rarity in fine jewelry. This independence fuels its dedication to ethical production, ensuring that every jewel is locally crafted with purpose, precision, and unparalleled quality.
Under the creative direction of Erica Bianchini, Ecksand celebrates individuality, crafting pieces that serve as symbols of love, strength, and renewal. Whether a delicate ring or a bold statement necklace, every design is meant to be worn, cherished, and passed down for generations.
As Ecksand steps onto the world’s stage at NYFW, it carries with it more than just exquisite jewelry, it brings a movement. A movement toward responsible luxury, ethical sourcing, and sustainability without compromise.
With its upcoming U.S. expansion, Ecksand is not just opening a store; it is opening a new chapter, one where the future of fine jewelry is as beautiful in its values as it is in its design.
