About Sonia

“Architecture and nature”

Originally from Gaspésie, Sonia Imbeault founded her own company: a micro-manufacture of jewelry made by hand, from precious metals.

Sonia draws her inspiration mainly from nature. A walk in the forest, a stop at the beach: a new jewel is born. Over the course of her 15 years of work in jewelry, Sonia has developed different techniques to integrate the textures of marine and plant objects into her creations. Her jewelry, feminine and delicate, is intended to anchor nature, a source of comfort in our fast-paced society.

The jeweler also devotes herself to creating expressive pieces, which have been noticed in Quebec, but also internationally.

  • Man's desire to explore leads us to our own doom. Even if we are aware of it, even if we see the consequences soaking into our cups of tea, what are we doing? Money. 925, 14K yellow gold, 18K green gold, petrified palm wood, garnet, rutilated quartz, cubic zircons 2009 Photo credit: Michel Gauvin
  • The memory boxI am a box fanatic. Literally. I called this piece The Memory Box. It supports a pendant in which we can store a sample of our perfume (as smell is the sense closest to memory) and a small drawer to hide small souvenirs...Sterling silver, glass vial, aquamarines, blue topazes and laboratory sapphires 2015Photo credit:Hélène Langlais
