Our story

Art can build bridges.

"Stay Gold" is more than a slogan — it is a reminder to hold onto the things that make us shine. I'm Laura Gold, an artisan jewelry maker and former fashion designer from Vancouver, BC. In 2016, love brought me across the border to Bellingham, Washington.

After closing my long-running business, GoldZ Cleaning, in 2020, I returned to the creative work that first inspired me. Made By A Canadian was born from a simple idea: art can build bridges. Even when times feel divided, Canadians and Americans share communities, friendships, and stories. Every handcrafted piece I make celebrates those connections.

Stone studs

“At this point in my life, real adventure requires comfort with expression.”

For the one who chooses comfort over fashion. Wrapped natural stones, wood, and my handmade clay with stone features and earthy colors.

Every pair is made to order: choose your colors, or send me a photo of your stone and I’ll make a replica of it.

Custom orders

“Jewelry tells a story without even a single word — a non-verbal communication of style.”

Michael Rosey West

These blue pebble earrings were inspired by a trip to the Bahamas. They aren’t for sale. They’re an example of what I can make for you.

Tell me where you’ve been, or what you want to remember, and I’ll turn it into a one-of-a-kind pair.

Why it matters

Handmade means something

Handmade, not mass produced

Every piece is cut, baked and finished by hand in small batches.

One of one

Many pieces are the only one that will ever exist. When it’s gone, it’s gone.

Made to order welcome

Sold out doesn’t mean gone — most designs can still be made for you.
