Why Ecksand Says No to Middle‑Man Markups
Luxury, Stripped of Illusion
For too long, the jewelry world has masked its truth behind a cascade of markups. A stone passes hands, dealer to cutter, setter to showroom, and with every touch, the price climbs. But behind the smoke and mirrors lies a truth no one wants to name: most luxury jewelry is priced on exclusivity, not craftsmanship.
Ecksand dismantles that illusion. We’ve built a maison where luxury is measured not by markup, but by mastery. Each piece, conceived and crafted in our Montreal atelier, reflects what true value should be: raw, rare, and uninflated.
Montreal atelier
A Direct Line to Brilliance
Founder and CEO Yoan Gehant‑Vidoni understood the distortion of value from the inside out. Years in global wholesale made one thing clear: true worth gets lost in translation when passed through too many voices. So, we stopped passing.
At Ecksand, we source our diamonds and gemstones directly. Every stone is hand‑selected for its natural beauty, curated by expertise. This direct line ensures our pricing is rooted in integrity, not layers of middle‑man margins. It’s not just ethical, it’s radical transparency.
About Ecksand.
Montreal‑Made, Through Every Step
In an age of outsourcing, we chose the harder road: complete vertical integration. Every Ecksand piece is handcrafted in Montreal, cast, polished, and perfected under one roof by master artisans who live and breathe their craft.
Our atelier isn’t just where jewelry is made, it’s where it comes to life. Purpose‑built with sustainability at its core, this is where traditional savoir‑faire meets future‑forward design. And because we control every step, your investment goes into the piece itself, not into a production pipeline halfway around the world.
The Ecksand Difference.
The Canadian National Mark: A Stamp of Truth
In a world where “Made in Canada” is often more marketing than reality, Ecksand doesn’t just claim it, we prove it. We’re proud to have earned the Canadian Hallmark, a national distinction awarded by the Commissioner of Competition. It signifies more than origin. It certifies excellence.
Every Ecksand jewel will carry this prestigious mark, verifying that it’s not just designed here, but made here. From precious metal to final polish, each piece is born in our Montreal atelier. Ecksand’s Canadian craftsmanship speaks for itself: Loud. Clear. Undeniable.

Craftsmanship Over Cost. Always.
Creative Director Erica Bianchini leads with a singular belief: that high jewelry can be both ethical and elevated. Under her vision, Ecksand exists outside the echo chamber of seasonal trends and price inflation. What we create is not decoration, it’s legacy, sculpted with intention and priced with clarity.
We don’t whisper exclusivity. We speak quality, fluently. Our recycled gold shines without pretense. Our conflict‑free stones tell a story of responsibility. And our prices reflect a quiet revolution: one where jewelry is accessible, not compromised; honest, not hollow.
