About Pamela Lauz
Growing up in Peru, Pamela would walk along beaches in search of seashells and pebbles to turn into “wearable art” and use every last penny from her allowance for beads and jewellery supplies.
Pamela has a strong technical background. After completing her Engineering degree at the University of Waterloo, she started working in the software industry. Ten years later, Pamela took a leap of faith by moving to San Fransisco to complete the Goldsmithing Program at the Revere Academy of Jewellery Arts. During this time, she also completed the Goldsmithing Graduate Program at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in Carlsbad, California.
Since opening her Toronto studio in 2008, Pamela has been creating stunning jewellery for women and men across the globe.
Aside from her staple collection, Pamela also creates custom jewellery to fit your aesthetic and vision. Pamela wants to make jewellery that truly celebrates you. Whether you want to repurpose precious family jewels or want a loved one’s fingerprint etched into your jewellery, Pamela can make that happen.
“It gives me great joy to see my jewellery worn in celebration of life’s special milestones and as symbols of love and friendship.”

Inspired By Architecture
"My style is sculptural with an organic flair. I’m inspired by works of man (architecture) and mother nature alike."
Pamela is inspired by new and old architecture from all over the world. The intentional curves and flowing lines from these iconic landmarks can be seen in her jewellery. Some of her favourite architects include Richard Serra and Frank Gehry.
On her website, Pamela shares stories from her travels. From Toronto to Bejing, Pamela finds captivating shapes and lines in buildings and art. Whether it’s the Chicago skyline, the Guggenheim Museum, Milan’s cathedrals, or the Eiffel Tower, Pamela seeks beauty in all corners of the world.
