Laura Eustace

"Craft has always been my lifelong passion. I started playing with beads as a kid, and eventually that grew into a full-on obsession with jewellery of all mediums. I completed training as a goldsmith at George Brown College in 2015, and did subsequent study in Gemmology at the Canadian Gemmological Association in 2016. After working for other jewellers for several years, I decided to branch out on my own. I launched LOLA Jewellery in 2019 and the business continues to expand every year! In 2021 I relocated from the GTA to Alexandria, and I now work exclusively out of my home studio there. I use traditional metalsmithing techniques to achieve striking pieces using sterling silver, copper, enamels and precious gemstones."
