Xander Jane founder created jewelry that\u0027s \u0027punk without the politics.\u0027

Surrounded by state-of-the-art equipment for modern jewelry-making tasks such as laser welding, 3D printing, computer numerical control machining and polishing, the workshop has all the trappings of a well-established fine jewelry operation where one might expect traditional engagement rings, tennis bracelets and other classic adornments to come to life.

“It’s kind of ironic,” Jane says of the contrast. “Punk is not supposed to be gold and diamonds. Punk is like steel and cheap metal and chain. As soon as you swap that and mix the two, you end up with something pretty sexy.” Harbouring a business background rather than a formal education or experience in jewelry making or design, Jane is fuelled by an interest in fashion — and a desire to create a jewelry line that uses the best materials to create something that’s unexpected.

“Because you’re not supposed to do it. And that what makes it good,” Jane says of the unconventional creations and mash-up of materials. “We’re kind of unplugged here.” Jane came up with the idea for the brand a few years ago, first trying to work with a local jewelry maker in order to bring his punk-inspired pieces to life. Not entirely happy with how the initial pieces turned out, he decided to take matters into his own hands, creating a workshop where the jewelry could be created from start-to-finish.
