Over the years, we’ve often spotted Mejuri pieces popping up in our Instagram feed. The Toronto-based company is known for its collection of fine jewellery without the retail markup of boutiques and department stores. They produce in small quantities, dropping new pieces weekly on their site.
Founded by Noura Sakkijha and Justine Lançon in 2015, direct-to-consumer brand Mejuri believes that luxury should be attainable and quality jewellery should be worn and enjoyed daily, not just on special occasions.

Mejuri’s manufacturers are located in Canada, South Korea, Italy, Thailand and India, each specializing in various aspects of the trade, from sterling silver and gemstones to gold chains. As we love a classic look, we reached out to Mejuri Canada to check out their 14-carat bold hoops as well as their best-selling grain leather travel case.
Bold Hoops
These dainty 12 mm hoops are simple in design so they’ll go with just about anything in your wardrobe. They have a nice clip closure that feels solid when putting on. They’ll also look great stacked with other earrings if you have multiple piercings.
Perfect for gifting, the hoops are packaged in a sturdy white box with foam insert and a tiny black drawstring storage/travel pouch.
14k gold will neither oxidize nor discolour, so you can wear them day in, day out. The care guide suggests scrubbing the hoops lightly with a toothbrush and warm water to maintain their lustre. They’re available in a white gold version too. CAD $195
Jewelry Case
Whether you’re planning a road trip or waiting for travel to become safe again to head abroad, this travel essential holds enough for a short vacay or to store your favourite pieces.
The compact, grain leather case measures 10 cm x 10 cm x 3.5 cm (4” x 4” x 1.4”) with a gold tone metal zipper closure and anti-tarnish microsuede interior lining.
It can hold four necklaces tangle-free, plus three pairs of earrings and several rings (the latter two sections snap securely in place).
You can also opt for three monogrammed gold-coloured letters free of charge (all uppercase, English only, no spaces or special characters allowed).
The case comes in black or beige grain leather with a drawstring storage pouch; CAD $110
While many of us are still shopping online, it pays to know that Mejuri offers complimentary 15-minute video chat appointments with a dedicated stylist, who can help you with sizing and advise on styles to match your vibe.
They’ll even help you pick out engagement rings and wedding bands for your special day. Once you’ve booked an appointment online, you can choose between a FaceTime or Google Hangout call. This adds a personalized touch to your shopping experience, especially during these challenging pandemic times.
And speaking of COVID-19 and community, the folks at Mejuri have helped to provide frontline doctors, nurses and healthcare workers with donations at both the Sinai Health Foundation in Toronto and the NYC Health + Hospitals in New York.
In addition to their online store, Mejuri boutiques are located in Toronto, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City and Austin.
