Pearls have long whispered of elegance, but Wonder lets them speak. This modern pearl collection redefines what pearls stand for: quiet strength, intentional beauty, and enduring craftsmanship. Created in Ecksand’s Montreal atelier, Wonder pays tribute to the legacy of pearls while forging a new path forward.
The Wonder collection is a return to Ecksand’s roots, a place where pearl jewelry is not ornamental but essential. In this collection, pearls are deliberate. Each design holds space for nuance: softness and structure, stillness and motion.
Long before diamonds became the engagement ring default, pearls ruled the world of adornment. Cleopatra reportedly dissolved one in wine to prove a point about wealth. In ancient Rome, only the elite could wear them. In imperial China, they were gifted as tributes. For centuries, pearls were rare, difficult to harvest, and steeped in symbolism; from purity and wisdom to protection and status.
Today, their meaning evolves. In Wonder, pearls speak to personal strength, sustainability, and a new kind of luxury. One not defined by excess, but by intent.
A refined silhouette that merges softness with shine. The single Akoya pearl is elevated by a whisper of diamond brilliance; understated yet undeniably compelling.

Each piece is handcrafted using ethically sourced Akoya pearls and recycled gold, transforming classic silhouettes into modern heirlooms.
Akoya pearls are the gold standard of cultured pearls. Grown primarily in the cool waters of Japan, these pearls are renowned for their perfect roundness, high luster, and mirror-like finish. Their consistent quality and soft, iridescent glow make them ideal for fine jewelry with a timeless feel.
Ecksand sources Akoya pearls exclusively from responsible farms that prioritize environmental stewardship. Every pearl is matched by hand to ensure harmony of tone and shape, then set in recycled gold by Ecksand artisans in Montreal.
And unlike gemstones extracted from deep underground, pearls are grown with patience. They are the only gem formed within a living creature – an oyster – without cutting, mining, or drilling into the Earth. They are, quite literally, born from stillness.
Wonder is not trend-driven. It’s rooted. In tradition. In narrative. In the idea that jewelry can mean more when made with care. Every piece of Wonder is a quiet act of resistance: against throwaway culture, against waste, against adornment without purpose. These jewels are made to endure.
Pearls have been worn for millennia by royalty, rebels, and icons. Their organic origin and natural glow give them an elegance that transcends trends, making them perennially sought-after in jewelry design.
Akoya pearls are known for their near-perfect round shape, high luster, and subtle overtones. They are cultivated in saltwater, primarily in Japan, and are considered ideal for classic yet elevated jewelry designs.
Yes. Pearls are one of the most sustainable gems. They are created naturally by oysters and mussels only if the environmental conditions are right. Ecksand’s Akoya pearls are ethically farmed and paired with recycled gold.
You can, with care. Pearls are more delicate than diamonds or sapphires, but they are suitable for everyday wear if treated gently. Avoid harsh chemicals, and store them separately from harder jewelry to preserve their surface.
Pearls have symbolized everything from purity and wisdom to rebellion and renewal. In Wonder, they stand for strength in softness, the idea that power doesn’t have to shout; it can shimmer quietly.
