Ok this took a very long time and if I tricked you *amazing* but just imagine just how much ink this would use? Is anyone else highly ink-aware? Just Rod?

Ties are about to be everywhere this autumn (👔) and the thrift gods bestowed this chocolate-covered polka dot one upon me just in time for our summer campaign shoot.

Is it giving Serena van der Woodsen or Avril Lavigne?

P.S. We’ve sent out a massive shipment of ring sizers this week - they should all be arriving soon!

Ok friends - which one do you prefer? Left or right??

The free ring sizers are officially a hit! We sent out about 200 of them today, with more heading out the door tomorrow.

Our goal with this marketing expense is to help bridge the gap between people wanting to adorn themselves with Zaleska *but* not having the information they need to be able to do that.

We have a special announcement next week and your ring sizers will come in handy… Send me a DM with your full name and mailing address if you want one! 💌

If we’ve never met before, hi! My name is Sylvia and I make jewelry. My pieces are handmade and designed thoughtfully to reflect my love of art deco design, juicy gemstones, and subtle odes to the cosmos. I’m an avid thrifter, design geek, sometimes curve model, but mostly a jewelry-obsessed human. This brand exists because I know how it feels to be left out from fashion, and my goal is for everyone to feel considered as a consumer when they shop at Zaleska Jewelry.

Thanks for being here! ♥️

So much gratitude for all the instasale love today!!! It’s still going and there’s just a handful of pieces left (including a very special price on the stunning Citrine Drop Earrings). Find them in stories for a few more hours. ✨

forgotten film from our summer shoot with 👑

THREE new Zaleska pieces just entered the collection and our hearts are racing! ⁠♥️🏁
⁠
I’ve added a gorgeous bracelet that can be custom-cut to your wrist size, the cutest pair of rose quartz earrings shaped like little sparkly locks, and my personal favourite, The Vista Ring. ⁠
⁠
The amount of sampling and carving that went into this ring design is slightly ridiculous, but we *love* to nail down the details just as much as we love a reminder to care for yourself.⁠ 🤗
⁠
As always, these beauties are produced in small-batches and entirely handmade. Limited quantities available now :)⁠
⁠
Which one catches your eye the most? I’d love to know!⁠

When I set out to design new jewelry, I always start with my personal style. As much as I’d like to say I don’t, because it seems a little selfish, the reality is that it’s a lot easier to sell pieces that I want to wear myself. I often know what a design will look like before my pencil hits the sketchbook, and it’s likely that I’ve already brainstormed an outfit (or multiple) to match. 💅🏼

Enter these beautiful drop earrings. They don’t have a name yet (helpppp) but you bet I’ve tested them out more than a few times. They’re incredibly easy to style! I’ve worn them to brunch, birthday parties, photoshoots, and grocery stores. Coming soon!👌🏽

My relationship with myself is an ever-evolving experiment. Zaleska, modelling, entrepreneurship - it’s all a practice of pushing fear away and choosing to bloom into the unknown. I’m no expert, but I know how to say yes scared. And more often than not, it changes my life for the better. ♥️

The Candlelight Necklace: it’s amazing how a little wick and a bit of wax can illicit a variety of emotional responses. Candlelight defines romance at a dinner table, ambient relaxation during a bubble bath, nostalgia when the power goes out, and hope when things feel dark. In our world, it’s the flicker that lights up an outfit. 🕯️💁🏻‍♀️

Well my friends, the first drop of Summer 2023 was officially our best launch of all time! I cannot thank you enough for showing up for this brand time and time again. Our hearts are bursting!! The Citrine Drop Earrings are sold out in both silver and gold but we will be getting more in - make sure to sign up for restock notifications (this will help us gauge interest). The Soleil Earrings are also sold out in gold, with just a few left in silver.

We love you!!! ♥️

The first drop of Summer 2023 is HERE! It’s a combination of designs you can wear to garden parties & rock shows, at home & while travelling, during chill times & fancy times…you name it! I’ve designed a variety of pieces that, most importantly, feel good to wear.

We’re extending further into my infatuation with sunstones, and adding pops of colour and depth with peridot and smoky quartz. Things are also getting real cute in the earring department. I’m thrilled with the variety that we’re now offering (hello, statement earrings). A celestial sprinkling of a zodiac-themed necklace and ring rounds out the 12 new designs.

Thank you all so much for joining me on this journey as I navigate how I show up in this world as an artist and size-inclusive brand owner. I’m very happy to announce that our 2023 ring sizing has now officially extended from 4-15 with these new designs, and we’ll continue to roll it out with our existing rings as we can.

I’m absolutely thrilled to present these little labours of love to you. Happy shopping!

One more sleep!!! I want to take a moment to thank the team that brought our campaign to life. You’ll see their beautiful work on the listings tomorrow and I’ll be posting the photos until the day I die so get comfy because I’m deliriously happy with how they turned out!

My fellow bravoholic is a gift to work with. I’m so grateful for her vision and her willingness to drive across town (probably in traffic with a matcha in one hand) to rent a fisheye so that we could make magic!!! THANK YOU. So much.

has walked alongside me with Zaleska for years and I truly believe she is the moment when it comes to personal styling. I adore her and I’m so excited about her career. Follow her on Tiktok. Also, I’m her biggest fan.

is about to move to Milan and my heart is breaking just thinking about it. She’s a skilled businesswoman, an obvious beauty, and most importantly one of the kindest people I know. There’s just *no one* like her and I already miss her (even though she’s still in town).

The fact that I was put on earth at the same time as makes me the lucky one. Her understanding of size-inclusive fashion is vast and our shared experience working as curve models in this industry is something I cherish. Here’s to many more candlelit wine nights talking about how we’re going to take over the world.

My friend and agent is one half of and the space is GORGEOUS. If you’re looking for natural light in Vancouver, it’s kept there. Thank you for all that you do for me!!

And a thank you to for sourcing and custom-ordering our gorgeous anthuriums for this shoot. A fellow opal strand lover!

The fact that this campaign even happened and that this launch is happening on summer solstice is a story I’ll share with you on our live tomorrow. Sweet dreams!!

Do you citrine or do you citrine? More sneak peeks coming next week! I’ll take you through all the new pieces and their pricing so you can plan for our launch on June 21st. If you want to shop them earlyyyyy in-person today, come by the !! 👀

As I eagerly watch our first delivery of the new collection travel across the world to us, I can’t help but wonder…

What comes before a launch? ☀️👀

How wonderful it is to crease, to soften, to exist. The amount of grace I’ve given myself lately could fill oceans. Placing this gorgeous image on my feed to remind us all that we are walking sculptures filled with stardust and each one of us deserves to feel incredibly beautiful.

I’m opening up my custom books once again! Here’s an example of a documents containing a series of designs sent to a client based on her specifications. This gorgeous citrine cluster ring is coming to life and I can’t wait to show you the final product :) Which layout would you choose? 🌞🐝

Today’s jewelry lesson is about CONTRAST. This structured white blazer is elevated instantly with an opposing playful accessory. Each strand is unique, glossy, and luxurious. It’s giving “I’m on vacation at the office” in the BEST way. Check out our instasale highlight if you’re ready to step into spring with a new necklace… There are still lots left AND they’re all one-of-a-kind!

Choosing to adorn oneself is an intimate act of self-expression and curation. As we wait for the new pieces to arrive, I want to highlight some of our most beloved designs that have found homes with you all over the world. Sometimes Rod and I will get an order and look at each other and say “how the heck did they find us??”

I often imagine golden threads connecting these pieces back to our home studio. It feels incredibly special to know that this community is connected by beautiful things!

P.S. I’ve been looking up photos of Where’s Waldo books… can you tell? 😂

Family gold, diamonds, and a very special centre stone… 💎

This absolutely mesmerizing 5.28 carat champagne sapphire is flanked by trapezoid and round diamonds on a thick band of gold. It was sourced from a local dealer whose family history is generations deep in the world of ethical and small-batch gemstone sourcing in Sri Lanka.

The production of this engagement ring defined the official start of my journey into the world of custom jewelry. Successfully finding this very specific request gave me the confidence to fully commit to creating fine pieces. As you can imagine, I was thrilled to get my hands on it again for a quick re-size and some photos!

My custom books are currently open. Send me a DM for contact info.

Come find us at our usual spot at the Vancouver Gem & Mineral Show this weekend! This is our last pop-up in Vancouver until May… 👀🌷

As we approach the launch of a new collection, I want to start sharing some imagery that I referenced in my design process. I love a curved line - waves, wiggles, scalloped edges - and I’m really looking forward to showing you a fresh perspective.

Hello and welcome to my current favourite combo - the Mirage & Hilma rings. ♥️

This wavy Hilma band is by far the most versatile piece in my collection. It stacks alongside almost every design I’ve ever made. The Mirage ring holds a gorgeous sunstone, and y’all have sold it out 3 times in a row. It’s currently fully stocked in sizes 4-13 and available on our site now :)
