An exploration and celebration of sexuality

Hi, I’m Nicola.

Growing up in a household with crafting & DIY, creativity was the norm. At the ripe age of 11 I was already slinging beaded jewelry at craft fairs with my mom.

Jewelry, and later clothing design, became a way to explore my identity, always trying to figure out how to reflect my personal style. At the same time offering what I felt was missing - androgyny, alt aesthetics, anything out of the norm.

As a prairie queer in Edmonton, Alberta, I was often frustrated with the very limited options. I’m guessing you’ve been there before too.

I wanted to design glamorous & edgy high quality jewelry that resonated with my invisible femme identity. But I was missing one thing: the perfect material to inspire sensual designs and reflect our desires for responsible luxury.

My discovery of brass was the game changer. I could finally make queer femme jewelry that I wanted to share with my community.

And that’s now my passion. Bringing you unconventional, timeless pieces. So you can feel sexy and confident with jewelry that’s an expression of you.

 

Jewelry for those who dare to disrupt, seduce, and be seen.

 

Lord Violet is a subversive yet femme jewelry line, influenced by alternative subculture. I meticulously handcraft these statement pieces in small batches out of my studio in Montreal. Dark, edgy, and luxurious, these brass statement pieces push boundaries and challenge the status quo.

Lord Violet acknowledges that we are on the traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk).  Tiotia:ke (the island called "Montréal"), is a historical gathering place for many Indigenous nations.  It continues to be home to a diverse population of Indigenous peoples and communities, which are vital to our prosperity.

This stolen Kanien’kehá:ka Nation territory was made available for settler use and ownership, and settlers continue to benefit from this theft.  

As a settler to this territory, it is my responsibility to acknowledge the original keepers of this land, and the current struggles they continue to face due to colonization.  Recognition is only a small part of cultivating relationships with First Nations peoples. We all must be engaged and invested in our collective future to move forward together towards reconciliation.  This includes self education and active resistance against colonialism.
