About LolaJewelleryDesign
Artisanal quality fine jewelry by designer and goldsmith, Laura Eustace-Lorimer.
My name is Laura Eustace-Lorimer. I grew up in Toronto, have lived all over the GTA/GGHA, spent my childhood summers in northern Ontario, and recently relocated to the North Glengarry area in Eastern Ontario.
Once upon a time I started my career in counselling and social services, but was later presented with an opportunity to train as a professional jeweller- so ofc I had to go for it! I graduated with honors from the Jewellery Methods program at George Brown College in 2015, and did subsequent training in gemmology at the Canadian Gemmological Association in 2016.
I initially launched LOLA a few years ago as a 'side hustle', and now I'm finally in a position where I have the time, space, and resources to devote myself to the business full time. I now work exclusively out of my home studio in Alexandria and I love being my own boss!
The inspiration for my pieces comes from my appreciation for precious and semi precious metals and gemstones. I still can't wrap my head around the earth's ability to create such stunning, colorful forms!! Some of my favorite stones include labradorite, moonstone, turquoise, lapis lazuli, tourmaline, amethyst, and pearls.
I also enjoy the art of off loom seed bead weaving. I find this practice to be a very soothing and meditative one, and I really enjoy creating these intricate mini tapestries and incorporating them into my jewellery designs.
My collection tends to run the gamut from completely hand-fabricated, one of a kind pieces, to simpler assembled pieces using beads and high quality findings. I try to keep my prices reasonable while at the same time reflecting the level of skill and time that goes into each piece.
In my spare time I like to read, spend time in nature, garden, watch horror flicks and reruns of 90s sitcoms, play board games, and spend time with my husband Dave and our doggos Pepper and Scully.
If you ever have a question or would like to set up a meeting to discuss a custom design, drop me an email at laura [!at] lolajewellery.com
All the best,
Laura

Sizing details
All sizing information will be stated in each individual listing. Please take a minute to read through all of the sizing/measurements regarding the piece you are interested in purchasing. If you have any questions or would like an item in an alternate size or length, please feel free to message me and I will do my best to accommodate you!
Jewellery Care- Stones
As all of my pieces are hand finished, they require good care to keep them looking great. I use many soft and porous stones throughout my collections (ie turquoise, lapis lazuli, ammolite) and as such I do not recommend the usage of liquid jewellery cleaning dips, as the stones may become damaged or discolored by these liquids. It is also recommended for the longevity of certain stones to avoid excessive contact with water, oils, lotions, makeup, chemicals, abrasives, and prolonged exposure to sunlight or extremely dry weather conditions. I also recommend separating jewellery pieces with softer stones away from jewellery that includes harder stones such as diamonds, sapphires etc.
Jewellery Care- Metal
Please also note that the patinas on all of my pieces are likely to change when they come in contact with your environment, lifestyle, and body chemistry. I recommend using an impregnated polishing cloth for cleaning and polishing your silver pieces. Contrary to popular belief, sterling silver DOES naturally tarnish, dues to its copper content interacting with oxygen. I also recommend keeping sterling silver jewellery in a small ziploc bag to prevent the piece from tarnishing as quickly. Use care when cleaning your jewelry and feel free to contact me for tips and tricks!
