When you shop for fashion jewelry, which of those counter brands are actually Canadian-owned? Often, not the ones you know. Pandora is Danish-owned, Swarovski is Austrian-owned, and Kendra Scott is American-owned. Here are four that are ours. Sugar Blossom Jewelry has been woman-owned since Kelli Miller started it in Winnipeg in 2008, and it still designs its custom charm jewelry there. Melanie Auld founded her Vancouver label in 2013 and still owns it today. Leah Alexandra has been founder-owned since 2006, with every piece assembled in her Vancouver studio. Jenny Bird designs from its Toronto headquarters on King Street East. Canadian-owned. Canadian rooted. This is Canadian made.
