Suetables: Canadian fine jewelry as meaningful as your wedding day
Inspired by a hand-stamped butter knife while vacationing off the coast of Maine, we spoke with Suetables founder Sue Henderson – who turned this “basement hobby” into a successful Canadian owned and operated brand – about how the fine-jewelry brand helps engaged couples of all walks of life find high-quality pieces that perfectly express their individual wedding wear styles, and how jewelry can be used to tell their stories and celebrate life’s precious milestones.
Suetables was built to foster happiness, connection and support for self-expression within its community, with a focus on storytelling and setting intentions. How can couples bring this to their destination wedding style?
Suetables offers hand-stamping, engraving and the ability to create custom pieces. With seemingly endless personalization options, couples can mark their love story with engravings of meaningful words, personal handwriting, numbers, letters and even a bitmoji image that symbolize their destination wedding and everlasting connection.
The fine and demi-fine jewelry space has evolved to become more inclusive. Why was it important for Suetables to develop a unisex jewelry line?
Offering affordable, great-quality pieces for all our customers has always been very important to us. We want everyone to be able to express themselves and capture those special memories and moments through jewelry that will be cherished for years. While all our pieces can be worn by everyone, we have a specific unisex line of bold yet refined styles in our classic metals, stainless steel and tungsten. The industry isn’t only targeting women or men shopping for women anymore, so we aim to ensure all our items are gender inclusive.
Wedding couples are always looking for ways to personalize their own jewelry to mark the occasion or give thoughtful gifts to their wedding parties. Tell us about Suetables’ personalized offerings and collections!
Suetables was the first company in Canada to offer hand-stamping on the spot, in addition to more extensive engraving services available at our head office and on the spot at two of our locations. Whether you’re looking for matching rings with your wedding date engraved or the initials of your wedding party hand-stamped onto necklaces, Suetables has a number of pieces and offerings to perfectly capture one's special day.
For engaged individuals with little knowledge of how to style their destination wedding get-up, what services do you provide to ensure they're set up for success?
With Suetables’ timeless and classic styles, it’s hard to go wrong when choosing jewelry to commemorate a special occasion. Those looking for an extra hand can book a virtual, one-on-one styling appointment with a Suetables employee at any of our stores in Toronto and Montreal. We also offer an excellent personal shopping experience in-store, and our head office can work with couples directly to create a custom piece.
What metals are better suited for warmer climates and hold strong against the varying conditions of the tropics?
We recommend choosing jewelry made from sterling silver, solid gold, gold filled or gold vermeil for warmer climates as they’re able to withstand the humidity and heat. We do, however, suggest removing your jewelry before you exercise or swim – this is just best practice!
How would you suggest couples style their chosen wedding jewelry from Suetables for every occasion?
Our jewelry is very versatile and can be worn in numerous ways beyond your wedding day. You can dress down those statement pieces simply with jeans and a t-shirt, or if you went the simplistic approach on your big day, stacking or adding pieces to the existing item will certainly elevate your look for a date night out. Suetables is also unique – all our pieces are intended to mix and match and complement each other, so couples looking to build their collection with each romantic milestone or accomplishment can do so with ease. Adding new charms or pendants to previously purchased jewelry is a great start!
With a thriving e-commerce platform and brick and mortars in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, are there plans to grow Suetables’ store locations in other areas of the country?
Never say never. We just opened a new downtown Toronto location at The Well last December, however, we also ship worldwide so we can share our high-quality jewelry with as many people as possible!
