Meet Vicki Westgate

Discover the story, inspiration, and craftsmanship behind each handcrafted jewellery design.

I design and make finely crafted jewellery in my studio in Kingston, Ontario using sterling silver, precious metals, pearls, diamonds and natural gemstones. My goal is to create jewellery that feels personal, timeless and wearable—pieces that become part of everyday life while celebrating individuality and meaningful connection. 

My creative origin story started as a child exploring the outdoors: geological sites, playing in the prairie grasses ( and finding a few snakes and gophers! ), collecting interesting stones and fossils and other specimens of unknown origin and camping--lots of camping! These childhood experiences helped form my love of the natural world and it continues to inspire my work. I also like to bring a holistic approach to my creations by integrating my knowledge as a Reiki Practitioner into the production of each jewellery piece.

As a Goldsmith, I use traditional metal smithing techniques that use hammers, fire and hand held stone setting tools to create my jewellery.  Every piece I make is individually handcrafted with care and attention to detail from my ready-to-wear collection found online or in my studio to the one-of-a-kind engagement rings, bespoke wedding bands and commissions I create to celebrate for a special occasion for my clients.

You can further explore the collection of handcrafted rings, necklaces, and earrings created in my studio, or discover custom engagement rings and wedding bands.
