Input & Inspiration
My process begins at the intersection of creative inputs and worldly inspirations. I am drawn to what most aren’t—the otherness of things. I also gravitate towards architecture, symbols of life and death, celestial elements, and fundamental geometric concepts. I’ll often seek out roads-and-places-less-travelled specifically to open myself to discovery, planting seeds of inspiration in my mind that might be watered later.

Contemplation & Creation
Once I’ve gathered a collection of ideas worthy of development, I begin sifting through them: only the ones that spark wonder remain. I focus on those and let them unfold through the lens of my influences and begin shaping the intangible.

Design & Definition
Finally, I cut through the noise and bring shape to something I love, infusing it with all the artistry and ability I can muster. I alchemize my unique worldview, experiences, and sensibilities into a single thing: a snapshot of my imagination, frozen in time. It becomes earthly but I do everything in my power to ensure it retains otherworldly qualities.
In 8th grade, a career quiz suggested I’d be a jeweller, and at the time, I couldn’t have been less interested, quickly shelving and forgetting this assignment. I envisioned a future as a world-famous, globe trotting fashion designer, and the quiz result felt more like a gut punch than a calling. But years later, in the throes of my third year studying Jewellery and Metalsmithing at OCAD University, I found myself pondering that moment, realizing how eerily accurate that early prediction had been. It taught me to trust in the unseen and dive into the aether headfirst.
Growing up in a strict South Asian family, I never expected to make it through art school without being pushed into something “practical.” Yet, in 2013, I graduated mostly unscathed and soon launched my own jewellery business, cutting my teeth selling my work at local craft shows and boutiques. By 2016, I joined Made You Look in Toronto’s West Queen West neighborhood, where I was able to fully cement my brand, collections, and learn from the best.
Now, as a seasoned jeweller, I’m grateful to craft pieces that are not only beautiful but also deeply personal, marrying practical wearability with mystical elements to create heirlooms that will be cherished for generations. Outside the studio, I enjoy simple pleasures, from horror movie marathons to long walks with my beloved rescued corgi-beagle-husky mix. Through every step of this journey, I am proud to live my passion and continue creating jewellery that speaks to the soul and beyond.
"Liane was such a pleasure to work with on my engagement ring. Starting this process, I had no idea what I wanted and Liane was incredibly patient and talked through several different designs with me and my partner until we landed on a custom design that was so unique and special. She accessed a few different stones for us to view before making our selection, and I couldn't be happier with the result. I get so many compliments on my ring and always recommend Liane to whoever will listen! Thank you, Liane, for your professionalism, expertise, and for being a joy to work with!"
"Liane designed my engagement ring that I was absolutely in love with! I worked with her to design my wedding band and she was very patient. She helped come up with options and was very transparent about pricing. To no surprise I was extremely happy with how it came out. I wear both rings daily and get many compliments."
"I’ll be a LV client for life! So far I’ve worked with Liane on a few projects and every time the development and production processes were flawless. I love Liane’s creativity and patience. On our custom ring collaboration, Liane went above and beyond to source a gem in a specific colour and then had it re-cut to the exact shape I was hoping for. The end result was a family treasure ring, exactly as I had envisioned <3 I highly recommend LV for custom pieces."
"Liane really went above and beyond creating a custom engagement ring. She was great to communicate with and talked me through multiple designs, styles, stones, and metal options before we settled on a gorgeous gold ring. I would 100% recommend Liane as a designer to anyone looking for a truly unique piece of jewelry. "
"Liane made a beautiful engagement ring that my fiancee absolutely loves. She was very communicative and easy to work with through the whole process, and the ring was delivered on time. I don't order a lot of jewelry so I appreciated how easy and convenient the custom design process was."
"Liane designed the wedding bands for me and my partner for our wedding in October 2021. My partner had a lot of ideas about what she wanted her engagement ring to be like and Liane helped her hone her ideas into the perfect ring for her. When it came time to get wedding rings later, we knew we would use her as well because she was super easy to work with and because the engagement ring turned out so well. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good quality, hand-made ring, and to anyone who wants to support local artisans."
"Liane is a consummate professional. When you peel back the layers of timeliness, efficiency, attention to detail, and effective communication, you’re left with a wonderful person who cares deeply about capturing the effervescent and intimate details of your identity in a single piece of jewellery. Absolutely unmatched."
"Liane is so so so talented and amazing to work with! She is so nice and just done to earth, normal and easy to talk too. I would definitely recommend her!"
"When I contacted Liane about a ring, she was super patient, providing lots of different suggestions until I finally made a decision. She totally listened to my preferences and the ring is perfect for my style (and is worn every day!). I really enjoyed working with Liane on this and will definitely be coming back to her whenever I need some new pieces!"
"Liane was such a dream to work with - our ring turned out exactly as we had hoped. All communication was prompt and professional, and she worked within our schedule (delivering right on time despite a pandemic). Would absolutely recommend and work with Liane again."
"Liane did an absolutely incredible job with my engagement ring and was a complete pleasure to work with every step of the way! I could not be more thrilled with how my ring turned out and will definitely be back for a wedding band in the future. =) Thank you so much Liane, you're fantastic!!"
"Liane perfectly understood our vision, helped guide us in our decision process and created a unique piece that was timeless and amazing. Really great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend."
"Patient and talented.Liane was amazing! All of my emails were responded to promptly, and the ring she made is simple and elegant yet detailed. I am very happy! I hope to never need another engagement ring but if I do she's who I would go to."
"Liane recently created three gorgeous rings for my partner and me (an engagement ring and two wedding bands), and not only are we over the moon with the final products, but she made the entire process a breeze. Liane was so helpful and open throughout, I could not recommend her more to anyone looking for unique and well-crafted jewelry!"
"Liane made my beautiful engagement ring. Liane was so helpful and patient with all our questions. We were able to decide on a beautiful end product, and when time came for the discussion to be moved just between her and my fiance, it was handled really great! I didn't know when it was going to happen and when I saw it in person, it was beyond what I thought it would be. I've had many people say that the ring is perfect for me and I couldn't agree more. There was also engraving on the inside and it's done really nicely! Would highly recommend and I can't wait to continue commissioning Liane's services for years to come :)"
