History

If someone had told me a few years ago that I would create my own jewelry House thousands of miles away from home, I probably wouldn’t have believed it. And yet, here I am.

It all started with a need to move, to see something else, to prove to myself that I was capable. In 2025, I packed my bags for Montreal. Leaving my family, my friends, and my little habits was terrifying. I was leaving without a safety net, far from everything I knew.

It was precisely in this moment of starting over that the idea for Maison Soleyah was born. When you start from scratch, you ask yourself what really matters. For me, it was creation.

I do not come from the world of jewelry. I learned everything—the web, the materials, the technique—because I did not want to delegate any decision that touched upon the high standards of the Maison.

I sought out the best materials, tested dozens of samples, adjusted, started over, until I achieved exactly what I had in mind.

Everything started with simple craftsmanship, beads, and weaving, which I patiently elevated, material after material, to stainless steel, resin, and acrylic. This same uncompromising standard guides every decision the Maison makes today.

I do not just want to sell you a piece of jewelry: I want to pass on to you the confidence I sought out, piece after piece.

For me, the sun is vital energy.

It is the first thing I look for as soon as I open my eyes in the morning. Without light, nothing begins.

It is this warmth and radiance that I want to put into every package I prepare. I want you to feel that little "boost" of joy when you open your Maison Soleyah box, that feeling that a beautiful day is beginning.

We all need that bright signal in our lives, especially on days when our spirits are a little low.

Life is too short to wait

If there is one thing this adventure has taught me, it is that life is short, too short for regrets.

Maison Soleyah is my heartfelt plea: dare. Take the plunge on that project you've been thinking about, change direction if you need to, start over if you must, but do what makes you deeply, truly yourself.

We are not here to follow a pre-determined path; we are here to build our own.

If you have chosen to be here, perhaps it is not by chance.

Maison Soleyah, it's for you, for every day, and forever.

Welcome to the House.
