Celeste
MYEL
“A few years ago I started a jewelry brand knowing that for
me responsible sourcing was of the utmost importance. While I
was pregnant of my first child named Celeste, who inspired this
collection, I became a Fairmined licensee. This collection is the
embodiment of my biggest achievements to date and that is why
this contest means so much to me.”
Myriam Élie
The Celeste collection was designed by Myriam Élie, Founder and Designer of Myel, in her jewelry store on Laurier Street in Montreal.
Inspired by constellations and planets that gravitate and sparkle in the universe, the creations of the Celeste collection are unique pieces made from responsibly sourced materials and handcrafted by jewelers based in downtown Montreal.
Available for sale from August 2022, the Celeste collection consists of 5 different pieces:
– ring
– pair of earrings
– necklace
– chain pendant
– pearl necklace
Each Celeste jewel is handmade with 14K Fairmined solid yellow
gold from Peru.
Celeste is the second collection that the Montreal-based jewelry
brand has exclusively produced with this ethical gold.
Myel’s first Fairmined collection was launched in 2021 with a series of delicate, modern and eco-friendly love rings.
Myel is the only jewelry store in Quebec to proudly work with
Fairmined gold.
