bstrd
Based out of Toronto, Canada, bstrd is a unique, handmade Canadian jewelry line, built on the following pillars: quality, affordability, responsibility and versatility.
bstrd is the creative child of Tianna and her husband Andre Bastien. They are proud designers and parents to 4 lil bstrds.
As parents, children are near and dear to their heart. So, $2 from each purchase is donated to the Children of Hope, a Canadian organization of volunteers which supports local and international charities in helping orphaned and destitute children around the world.
"bstrd" stands for "basteroid," which they jokingly call their kids - Bastien asteroids that have shot out into the universe. I quickly realized this could be shortened to "bstrd" and take on a much edgier look and we decided to use it as their brand name!
Tianna also co-own the brand The Curated Lobe with her best friend Sheira, which focuses on beautifully curated earscapes.
Their goal is simple - to create quality pieces that are on-trend, affordable, responsibly made and offer many unique styling possibilities.
bstrd uses recycled metals and responsibly mined gemstones.
