Craftsmanship And Allies
Each piece of The Bow Jewelry begins by hand.
The work is shaped in wax, cast in metal, finished with care, and carried forward by a small circle of trusted local allies in Montréal. Every piece passes through hands, tools, fire, stone, and time before it becomes jewelry made to hold power.
The Bow is rooted in hand-sculpted symbolic jewelry. The process holds the mark of the maker, the knowledge of craft, and the force of the symbols behind each collection.
The Design Process
Each collection begins with research.
A woman from history. An ancient symbol. A serpent form. A goddess figure. A stone. A story of power, protection, strategy, or transformation.
From there, the work moves into wax.
I heat my carving tools and shape each form by hand. Wax allows instinct to stay close to the material. It can be carved, built, softened, torn, pressed, and changed until the piece begins to carry the feeling I am reaching for.
The process is guided by history, but it is also physical. Every curve, surface, and texture comes from the hand.
This is where the piece begins to hold power.
Through wax, the story becomes form.
Lost Wax Casting
Once the wax model is complete, it moves into metal through the lost-wax casting process.
The wax pieces are placed into flasks and surrounded by investment. Heat melts the wax away, leaving an empty space where the form once was. Molten metal is poured into that space, transforming the original hand-shaped wax into silver, brass, bronze, or gold.
The wax disappears, but the hand remains.
The pressure remains.
The texture remains.
The first impulse becomes metal.
From there, the pieces are soldered, finished, set with stones when needed, and plated in 18k gold for selected designs. Many of our metals are left with a matte, antique finish, giving the work the feeling of something unearthed, powerful, and already carrying history.
Heroine Cards
Every order includes a card connected to the history, symbol, or woman behind the piece.
These cards are part of The Bow world. They offer a point of entry into the story carried by the jewelry, whether the piece is inspired by a serpent, a goddess, a warrior woman, a philosopher, a queen, or an ancient protective symbol.
The card is a reminder that the piece is not only worn.
It is understood.
It carries meaning.

She took this photo just before gifting it to her daughter.
