About Us

Our Philosophy

We at Drakestail Jewellery know that EVERYONE deserves to feel fabulous. It's important to us to be inclusive, and we promote body positivity for all people. We will happily work with clients of any gender, orientation, colour, or culture to help them feel fabulous in our jewellery. It is also important to us to give back to our community, and we regularly donate to charitable organizations. Please reach out to us for more information or to collaborate.

Drakestail Jewellery is a 100% women-owned Canadian business.

Our Story

When Roxanne and Robyn signed up for a jewellery-making class in 2006, we never imagined we'd be selling our work worldwide! However, in 2008, we did exactly that, launching Drakestail Jewellery at a small local fair. Following that success, we've participated in numerous local fairs and markets. In 2010 we launched our Etsy shop to reach a much wider audience.

Fast forward to 2015, Trisha joined the team as our third jewellery designer. We're thrilled to be a trio, and we love bringing our unique styles together into our shop.

Our Name

Drakestail is an old French folk tale (Bout-d’-Canard is the original title) about an undersized duck who becomes king through determination and smarts. When Roxanne and Robyn were deciding on a company name they came across this story and found it sweet, simple and also inspiring, how you can accomplish a great deal from humble beginnings. The lesson is quite simply to keep going after what you want, despite obstacles that may try to get in your way, be smart in your actions and you can accomplish even more than you set out to.

How we’re different

Our goal is to create quality jewellery that is fun, versatile, and feels fabulously YOU. We focus on using quality materials, and take great care in crafting pieces that will last. We don't chase trends or mimic big brands; instead, we create jewellery designs that speak to us, using materials that we love to work with. The result is jewellery that is unique, fun to wear, and stands the test of time.
