愛丽 Jewelry is a Chinese-owned Montréal-based small business that specializes in Chinese knot jewelry made using locally sourced materials and up-cycled semi-precious stones. Each piece is handmade with durability in mind, to adorn you for years to come.
FAQ:
What does "locally sourced" mean exactly?
We source all materials from local, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) family-owned businesses or upcycled thrifted jewelry.
Do you make custom jewelry pieces?
Yes! Please see the "Customs" page in the navigation that contains detailed instructions on how to request custom jewelry from us.
How do I clean my Chinese knot jewelry?
Sometimes well-loved pieces can get a bit dirty - luckily it's super easy to clean! Gently wash the piece using mild soap and water, then either hang it to dry or place it on a dry towel. Wait till it's dry to start wearing it again.
Do you ever make duplicates of pieces that are currently unavailable?
That depends completely on the materials used! Please send us a message in the "Contact" page with information about which unavailable piece you're interested in.
I'm not Chinese. Is wearing Chinese knot jewelry considered cultural appropriation?
The short answer is no! The long answer is that we make our jewelry for everyone. By purchasing from us, you are participating in cultural appreciation, not cultural appropriation. When you purchase from 愛丽 Jewelry, you are directly supporting our small business and celebrating Chinese culture in an authentic, meaningful way. We are also very intentional about where we source our materials from - by supporting us, you are also supporting the small, BIPOC-owned businesses that we source from!
