About the Designer
Meet the Designer
Sofia Ajram is the Canadian Arts and Fashion Award-winning Designer of Sofia Zakia jewelry. She is also the author of the novella Coup de Grâce. Sofia lives in Montreal with her cat Isa. Growing up, she cultivated a strong interest in speculative cinema and literature and applied those interests to the several facets of visual arts. In 2011 she began metalsmithing classes with a focus in wax carving. In 2016, Sofia launched Sofia Zakia, a channel to combine her fascination with the art of goldsmithing and jewelry’s long and wonderful history of wearable objects with meaning. Sofia strives to join the quiet intimacy and elegance of jewelry into communion with the magic of poetry: heirloom objects that act as mirrors to love, pulling threads of inspiration from myth, literature, art, and memory, both new and old; universal and personal. Thoughtful Design & Sustainability
ETHOS ::
Our relationship to the design process begins with materials themselves, wrought from the enchanting poetry of our home planet. Our precious stones and metals are ethically sourced from Sri Lanka, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Tanzania, and the United States. We are proud to work with natural recycled diamonds and conflict-free metals to ensure our supply chains includes well-researched, transparent relationships which meet international labor standards and exclude destructive environmental practices. ORIGIN & LOW-IMPACT PRACTICES::
Every piece is handmade from start to finish by our Montreal studio to ensure quality heirloom pieces that can be passed down from generation to generation. We have an enduring commitment to environmental principles, from artisanal studio methods to non-toxic, low energy requirements for local production. We work with Canadian suppliers as well as artisanal and small-scale mining and cutting operations to find materials that support social and economic impacts at the source.
