It’s this commitment to true in-house creation that earned Ecksand the Canadian National Hallmark, a rare designation awarded to only 108 companies in its four decades of existence, affirming the authenticity, integrity, and artistry behind every jewel we’ve crafted since 2009.

For those who gravitate toward depth and warmth, 18k yellow gold engagement rings deliver a richer expression of classic elegance. With 75% pure gold, this alloy boasts a deeper hue than its 14k counterpart and offers a softer, more luxurious finish, ideal for those seeking a jewel that feels opulent and personal.
