Happy Jewelry

Isabel Désy launches Stella in 1999 and devotes herself to it completely in 2002. She creates a necklace which will be sold in stores for the Cirque du Soleil tour of Verakai. During this time, she receives a SAJE grant, participates in two Salon des Métiers d’art of Montreal and has been to The One of a Kind Show in Toronto since 2004. Stella is starting to shine in Québec and Ontario.

Color constellation
From seasons to collections, Stella Jewelry is inspired by everything that makes life beautiful: deco, fashion, artistic currents, music… And it sets the tone!

For clients and connoisseurs, Stella is about color and quality first and foremost.
These glass beads and semi-precious stones that unveil themselves, collide, complement and happily juxtapose pewter, wood, stainless steel and all kinds of material that attract her attention.

Stella signed pieces can be worn everyday, for work, to go out, or just for the fun of it. Many women see themselves in these sought after pieces of jewelry. Whether they be 20 or 50 years old, they love the style and the energy.

This shows Isabel Désy knows her stores and her clients. They remain loyal and spread the Stella work around them.

Stella’s jewelry are made by hand with rigor and precision in Montreal, in our Grover Building workshop.

Also, the team that surrounds Stella is also well rooted here : principal assistant, assembly and manufacturing collaborators, graphic designer, photographer, editors, suppliers and so many others (the list is long). Stella takes advantage of this opportunity to thank them all.

Frequently asked questions
Order pick up in Montreal

To save on shipping or to get your jewelry faster, you can pick up your order directly at my workshop, located in Longueuil, Qc. We can also meet at a metro station between Berri & Rosemont or Longueuil. Just convo me to set an appointment. Right after you pick up the order, I'll make the refund directly on Etsy unless you previously asked for the no shipping fee coupon code.

Material & maintenance

I use the following materials: Raw brass and antique brass plating, nickel and lead-free pewter (created exclusively by and for Stella Jewelry), semi-precious stones, glass beads. Chains, rings and other component are either in stainless steel, raw brass or different plating color over brass. Stainless steel earring rods and hooks or other hypoallergenic alloy.
It is advised not to store your jewelry in sunny places because some stones and other parts may become discolored over time.
PEWTER: Pewter does not tarnish, but it can sometimes react to the pH of the skin. If it loses its shine, simply wipe with a dry, soft cloth designed for silver.

RAW BRASS: Raw brass (an alloy of pink copper and grey zinc, lead free and nickel free) oxidizes naturally in contact with air and skin. This natural patina creates over time a darker finish with a vintage look. This look is intentional; it is not a manufacturing defect.
To prevent the premature oxidation of your raw brass jewel, keep it in a small hermetic bag. Also avoid going under the water with your jewel (shower, bathing).
To clean raw brass and restore its original luster, brush it with an old toothbrush and toothpaste or a metal polish such as Brasso. Then rinse, dry well and store in an airtight bag.

It is possible that the skin of some people, due to heat, dampness and skin acidity, reacts to direct and prolonged contact with raw brass, to create a grey-green tint on the skin. This chemical phenomenon is completely normal. To remove oxidation, clean the skin with a cloth and mild soap.

ANTIQUE BRASS : Note that only raw brass oxidizes. Any other antique brass plated components do not tarnish (a brass base with bronze-brown plating), such as some chains, rings, clasps and ear hooks.

Warranty and repair policy

All Stella jewelry is designed and created in my studio in Montreal, they are handmade with great care. They are guaranteed for 1 year. If a piece has a manufacturing defect, I will repair it free of charge, please contact me before sending it. If you lost an earring, I can create a new one.
* For 1 year warranty and manufacturing defects, proof of purchase is required.
I also offer a service out of warranty repair. Stella is not responsible for normal wear on jewelry or on metal that lost color due to skin pH.
