Hi! I'm Kate (aka K8).

I’m so proud to introduce my new VIVE Bridal Collection of engagement rings and wedding bands— a celebration of love, individuality, and you.

This launch is no accident. The timing, the inspiration... every choice is intentional. Because I am fiercely Canadian.

Born and raised in Canada, I’ve lived, loved, and launched this brand between Montreal and New York. I’ve studied computer science, speak French, worked in advertising for two decades — but jewellery has always been my calling. And now, with my new bridal collection, I’m bringing that calling home.  Home to Montreal. Home to Canada.

You may not know that a lot of engagement rings and wedding bands sold in Canada are not actually made here, unless you are working directly with a jeweller dedicated to Canadian craftsmanship like we are at K8 Jewelry. More often than we care to know, Canadian jewellery stores order their rings from suppliers outside Canada... like the USA, Hong Kong, India, Thialand...  and have a local jeweller add the diamonds and finishing touches.

My Collection is different. Every facet (sorry for the pun) of your ring is made in Canada. You can even request a Canadian diamond. 

VIVE is about celebrating commitment and joy — not just in love, but in how we show up in the world.  It is for couples who are carving their own path and want symbols as meaningful as the promises they’re making.

Jewelry has always been my way of telling stories. This collection tells yours. Because we are committed to keeping Canadian love stories brialliantly Canadian.

My mission is to offer Canadian couples a truly 100% Canadian designer engagement ring and wedding band collection.
