Toronto-based fine jewelry brand Olaeda is joining forces with Bangladeshi trans creator Jamie Pandit on a new collection that celebrates Pride month. This 12-piece jewelry capsule includes necklaces, rings, earrings, and ear cuffs. It primarily features silhouettes made from 14K gold and diamonds. The designs bring together Jamie Pandit's affinity for feminine, delicate layering pieces with Olaeda's expertise in craftsmanship. Subtle design elements — like the colors of the trans flag — are sprinkled throughout the collection.
The inspiration for this range of jewelry stems from Jamie Pandit's personal motto, "always sparkle and shine from the inside, out," and her commitment to promoting love, light, and self-confidence. Reflecting this ethos, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to The 519, a Toronto-based organization dedicated to the well-being and inclusion of the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
