  • Do you offer custom jewellery?
    Yes! We are proud to offer custom jewellery orders for those in the GTA and beyond. Please visit our Custom Jewellery page here.
  • What is the process of custom jewellery?
    The first step starts with an idea or inspiration. We invite you to gather some pictures or sketches of a design you are looking to create. After this, our designer will create a custom 3D style CAD rendering for you of your envisioned design. Once the rendering is approved by you, a wax model is printed to ensure everything fits and is perfect. The final step is the creation of the piece. Our goldsmith and gem setter will craft your piece and bring your creation to life!
  • What is the wait time for custom jewellery?
    The wait time for a custom piece of jewellery really depends on the complexity of the individual piece. Although our jewellers work as efficiently as possible, wait times vary. Our custom jewellery quotation will also include an approximate completion date for your order. However, the average custom jewellery completion time is usually 3-6+ weeks after the custom design is confirmed. We will do our best to keep you posted throughout production so you know which stage we are at.
  • How much will custom jewellery cost?
    Every custom piece of jewellery is entirely unique, and therefore prices vary. We try our best to accomodate everyone's budget. To receive a free custom jewellery quotation, please fill out our custom form here.
  • Do you repurpose old jewellery? Can I use my own gemstone?
    Absolutely! We have repurposed hundreds of pieces of jewellery to recreate something entirely unique. We are also happy to accommodate and use your own gemstone in a custom jewellery design, however some limitations may apply. If using your own gemstone(s), please know that while we take every precaution to handle it with the utmost care, even though the chance is very low, there may be a small risk of chipping/scratching/damage during the gemsetting stage depending on the stone's inclusions, fractures, hardness, etc. The chance of this happening is unlikely, but if it does happen we will not be responsible for it, so we like to keep our clients informed when bringing in their own stone. However, if the diamond and/or gemstone is purchased from us, we cover everything, so there's nothing to worry about in the off-chance something may occur.
  • What materials do you use in custom jewellery orders?
    Our artisan jewellers are highly skilled and able to work with a vast array of materials. We do our own casting, so we can offer rose/white/yellow gold, and anywhere from 10k-24k along with platinum or silver. For gemstones, we are able to offer any type you are looking for, including natural and lab-grown diamonds, coloured precious and semi-precious gemstones and more.
  • Do you offer gift cards?
    We are happy to offer e-gift cards which can be purchased via our e-Gift card page, located under Shop. Please note that at this time we do not currently offer physical gift cards and e-gift cards may only be applied to online orders, not including custom and/or engagement rings.
  • Are Mandia orders gift wrapped?
    Each Mandia creation is envisioned for the "unboxing" and "revealing" moment. Every order is handled with the utmost care and precisely placed inside our signature Mandia jewellery box. Every order also comes with a Mandia printed specialty gift bag (small size) as well as a custom Mandia jewellery cleaning cloth. Note that each item you order will receive our speciality box, gift bag and cleaning cloth per order, even if multiple items apply to one individual order. (Example: one order contains 2 rings and 1 necklace, you will then receive a total of 3 Mandia jewellery gift boxes, 3 Mandia gift bags and 3 Mandia cleaning cloths in one shipping package). (Additional shipping charges may apply for orders with more than 3 pieces total).
  • How can I apply my gift card to my order?
    After purchasing an e-gift card, please enter the code by clicking “Apply a gift card” during step 3 of checkout. The value of your gift card will be automatically deducted from the order. Should a balance be owed, you can use a credit card, PayPal or Apple Pay. Kindly note that you can only use (1) one gift card per transaction.
  • I am unsure of the size to purchase.
    If you are unsure of the ring size or chain length to choose, please visit our Sizing guide found here. If you are looking to gift a Mandia creation and you want to be discreet, please use the following tips: If they already own/wear a ring, measure the internal diameter. Then have a look at our sizing chart here and follow the steps to ensure you choose the best size. If they already own a necklace, measure the chain in inches to ensure it will fit nicely.
  • Do you offer engraving?
    At this time we only offer engraving on custom orders. To inquire about a custom order or engravings, please click here to contact us.
  • How do I care for my Mandia piece?
    Each Mandia piece is crafted with pure gold. To help keep their patina, lightly scrub with an extra soft-bristled toothbrush under warm water every so often, as needed. Be sure to rinse away excess residue after gently scrubbing. You can also use a gentle hand soap and warm water on the pieces. We suggest plugging a drain or doing this in a water-filled bowl to avoid any accidents. Earrings can be disinfected by dipping a cotton ball or cotton swab into a capful of rubbing alcohol and then applied to the front and back of the earlobes and the earring pin. We suggest doing this each time you wear your earrings for maximum hygiene. Every Mandia creation comes with our customized cleaning cloth, and as such we recommend using it to buff your jewellery before each wear, especially rings. If you're in the GTA (Canada) can also have your creation professionally cleaned and inspected every 6-12 months by us!
  • Jewellery Care Guide
    Fine jewellery is delicate and requires proper care to avoid damage. This means avoiding impact, pressure, chemicals, & extreme temperatures. Even gold, precious gemstones, and diamonds can be damaged by improper care. When putting on or taking off your ring, always grasp the band instead of the setting. If your ring feels tight, use soap and water to help it slide on/off. Use caution with necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc. It's important to remove your ring and/or jewellery during certain activities or situations, such as exercise, sports, walking a dog, washing dishes, gardening, cleaning, moving furniture, working, sleeping, bathing, swimming, hot tubs, art/craft projects, and any activity that could result in an impact to your jewellery, extreme temperatures or pressure, or exposure to chemicals or creams and lotions. Pavé and small accent diamond settings require extra care, as the delicate prongs holding each diamond can be damaged easily. All fine jewellery requires diligent care, as do gemstones, which can be scratched and damaged easily. Always be cautious with your jewellery to avoid any accidents. For regular cleaning, you can use mild dish soap (free from dyes/chemicals) and warm water. Place your jewellery in the solution for 10-15 minutes, gently brush with an extra soft-bristle toothbrush, rinse in warm water, and repeat if necessary. This can be done as often as needed. Please inquire about the appropriate cleaning method as some gemstones are more delicate than others. Be sure to bring your jewellery to us once or twice a year for inspections and professional cleaning (if applicable). Please contact us for any questions, concerns or further details.
  • Are your diamonds and gemstones ethically sourced?
    Yes, they are! All of Mandia Jewellery's natural diamonds and gemstones are acquired from local suppliers in Toronto, ON, Canada who follow the Canadian Export and Import of Rough Diamonds Act and adhere to The Kimberley Process, ensuring every gemstone utilized in a Mandia creation is conflict-free. For more information, please visit KP | KimberleyProcess
  • Is Mandia's gold ethical?
    Mandia prides itself as being as sustainable and ethical as possible. Ethical gold is gold that is sourced from artisanal and small-scale mining companies, and we are happy to only utilize such in every creation we craft. All of our gold comes from the most reputable Canadian casting houses located in downtown Toronto.
  • Where is Mandia's jewellery made?
    Each Mandia piece is handcrafted by our expert, artisan jewellers in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We are a Canadian company with all of our pieces made from start-to-finish in Toronto, Canada. As a Canadian company, we proudly serve countries around the world.
  • Will the gold fade/tarnish? Do you gold plate?
    No! Our pieces are never gold plated or vermeil (which is a thicker plating). Almost every one of our pieces are crafted in white/yellow/rose gold or platinum, so you can wear our jewellery day and night with peace of mind. Note that our white gold and/or silver often has a rhodium plating finish added, which is a common practice to make your piece look whiter and brighter. Over much time, and depending on your skin's composition, the rhodium will fade. Please inquire about this and a member of our time would be happy to guide and assist you!
  • Do you have a physical location?
    Yes! Our showroom is located downtown Toronto at 27 Queen St. E #804, Toronto, ON, M5C 2M6. We operate on an appointment-only basis. We love meeting our clients in-person (or virtually via Zoom meetings) to answer all of their questions, discuss jewellery and even try-on some pieces. To book an appointment, please click here.

    If you are looking to be an influencer for our brand or want to collab on a project, please feel free to email us at contact@mandia.ca Keep in mind that we do not offer any ambassador programs or incentives to customers at this time and are limited to partnering with influencers.
