Meet Jess, Founder of Dainty Diamond
Hi, I’m Jess, founder of Dainty Diamond.
Jewelry has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My dad has worked in the industry for more than 30 years, and as a kid, I spent weekends visiting him at work. I’d put on a diamond necklace far too big for me, stand on a stool, and tell everyone who walked by that they “needed” it.
I took a different path at first, studying media and journalism and then working in the field. But when a friend asked me to help create a gold necklace for her mom’s birthday in 2020, something clicked. I loved finding out what would make the gift feel personal, then working with my dad’s connections to bring it to life.
One necklace led to another request, then another. What began alongside my full-time job grew into Dainty Diamond.
Today, we’re a Toronto-based, family-run jewelry brand creating custom engagement rings, wedding bands, and fine jewelry for life's most meaningful moments. We also bring people together through permanent jewelry and private events. The pieces and occasions may be different, but my favourite part is always the same: getting to know what matters to someone and helping them find a way to wear it.
I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, exploring ideas, and choosing what feels like you. Whether we’re designing a ring from the beginning or you’ve found a pair of earrings you can’t stop thinking about, it’s a privilege to be part of your story.
Thank you for being here.
xx Jess
