Sustainability
How and where are your products made?
- All our products are designed and hand sketched by our founder - Aurélie, in Montreal, QC, Canada.
- The sketches are then sent to our production team, where a 3D model is created and once the 3D model is approved, samples are then created and sent back to our showroom in Montréal. Those samples are carefully reviewed, ensuring all details of the product meet our standards. Once the samples are approved, production is then a go for that new product. The whole process takes about 3 to 6 months.
- We work closely with our production manufactures, and pride ourselves on the materials used, the quality we provide and practices we follow.
- Our manufacturers are located in Asia.
- Our pieces are ethically sourced and handmade. We ensure that every accessory we sell is made following the highest standards. We search the world to find the most precious pearls and priceless cubic zirconia crystals to curate products you will treasure forever.
What differentiates your pricing and quality from other competitors ?
- We design timeless jewelry that doesn’t compromise quality. We continuously test the longevity and strength of our pieces to ensure they last a lifetime.
- Our plating is 3 times the industry average. We plate our products with a 3 microns plating that makes them durable and sustainable.
- Sustainable fashion is our priority at DRAE COLLECTION. Providing high quality products that last at an affordable price point is what differentiates us on the market.
- We aim to be a sustainable jewelry brand by providing our customers with high quality products that last, it aims to reduce the negative impact of the fashion industry on the environment and society.
- It is important for luxury fashion brands to provide sustainable products because they have a significant impact on the environment and society.

Additionally, sustainable products can be more appealing to consumers who are increasingly conscious of their environmental and social impact.
