Our story
At Kemmi, we've always believed in taking our time with beautiful things.
Our story began in 2016, after a trip to Bali where we discovered the incredible work of local silversmiths — the beauty of handmade jewelry, the attention to detail, and the time and skill behind every piece. What started as a fascination with this craftsmanship quickly grew into a passion for jewelry, design and the idea of creating something of our own back home in Montreal.
And so, Kemmi began.
In our early years, our jewelry collections found their way into selected boutiques across Canada and the United States. As Kemmi evolved, so did our style — exploring different influences, materials and designs while developing an identity that became distinctly our own.
In 2018 came a moment we'll never forget. Kemmi received both the Jury Prize and the Public Choice award at Montreal's MAD Festival — Mode & Design at the Quartier des spectacles. Six months later, in 2019, we opened our first Kemmi boutique on Saint-Laurent Boulevard. In 2021, our second home followed on Mont-Royal Avenue.
Over time, we chose to focus on our own boutiques and online store, allowing us to create not only the collections, but the entire Kemmi experience and a closer relationship with the people who wear them.
Today, our signature concept brings jewelry and lingerie together under one roof — two worlds connected by beauty, femininity, self-expression and that simple feeling of finding something that feels like you.
Every Kemmi jewelry piece is handmade, continuing the appreciation for craftsmanship that inspired the brand from the very beginning. From sterling silver and gold vermeil to high-quality stainless steel, we care deeply about the materials we work with, with particular attention to nickel-free jewelry.
Some of the messages that have touched us most over the years have come from customers with sensitive skin telling us they've finally found jewelry they can comfortably wear and love.
But Kemmi has never been only about the pieces.
It's about the person choosing them.
Whether you're discovering us for the first time, searching for the perfect gift, celebrating something meaningful or simply treating yourself, we want you to feel genuinely cared for. From our collections to the experience inside our boutiques, that connection matters to us.
Every kind message, every review, every recommendation to a friend and every familiar face that walks through our doors reminds us why we still love doing this.
A decade after that first spark of inspiration in Bali, Kemmi continues to grow and evolve from Montreal — proudly independent, with two boutiques, an online store and, most importantly, a community that has made this story possible.
Made by hand. Made with care. Made to be loved.
