At Rock Paper Pretty, we believe jewelry should be more than something you wear — it should be a part of your story.

Our designs are modern romantic: timeless, feminine, and easy to style for every day. We handcraft each piece in Ontario, Canada using real gemstones and high-quality materials so they feel as good as they look.

Born from the belief that pretty should be practical, Rock Paper Pretty was created for women who want jewelry they can actually live in — pieces that are comfortable, stackable, and effortlessly beautiful. Whether it’s a dainty stacking bracelet, a minimalist necklace, or your new go-to pair of earrings, every piece is made to help you feel like you, on your best day.

To make styling even easier, we also offer a curated selection of jewelry that pairs perfectly with our handmade designs — so you can mix, match, and create a look that’s uniquely yours.

From school drop-offs to date nights, from busy workdays to weekends at the cottage — our jewelry moves with you. It’s meant to be layered, loved, and lived in. Because you deserve to feel put together without overthinking it.

Rock Paper Pretty — handmade gemstone jewelry for your everyday moments, big and small.

At Rock Paper Pretty, we believe you can be eco conscious and also have beautiful jewelry. We are constantly looking for ways to be a more sustainable business. We care about the environment and our impact on it. Our jewelry boxes are made with paper from sustainably managed forests (FSC certified) and non-toxic adhesive that is safe for our planet. Our jewelry bags are reusable and are the perfect way to store your jewelry when you're not wearing them.

At Rock Paper Pretty, our mission is to empower modern women to effortlessly express their individuality and elevate their everyday style with dainty and elegant gemstone jewelry. We are committed to crafting timeless pieces that blend sophistication with simplicity, using ethically sourced materials and sustainable practices. Through our dedication to quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design, we aim to inspire confidence and radiance in every woman, while leaving a positive impact on the planet we share.

Owner and maker here at Rock Paper Pretty. I’m also a wife, mom and registered nurse. And I love making jewelry! I have always been creative and appreciated anything handmade (Fun fact: the art award is the only award I won in school!)

Rock Paper Pretty started when I was looking for some new jewelry and couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for…. something beautifully designed, that was easy to wear with real gemstones. I love using gemstones in my pieces and it still amazes me how these “rocks” were naturally created by the earth.

As a working mom, you need jewelry that is simple and elegant that will easily take you from morning drop off to date night! I feel that jewelry is an extension of yourself and even in a pair of jeans and a plain t-shirt, it’s the only thing you put on that is truly “you”. Jewelry should be meaningful, personal, and make you feel beautiful when you wear it. And you should be able to wear it everyday! 

Thanks for being here.
