The visionary behind Quartz & Canary, a jewelry company established in 2015. With 18 years of experience in the jewelry industry, Andrea’s journey from a successful corporate professional to a dedicated jewelry designer was catalyzed by a transformative period following an unexpected job loss. This pivotal moment led Andrea to embrace her true mission of making a meaningful impact through her work. Quartz & Canary was born out of this new direction, and the brand has thrived over the past eight years of organic growth.
Throughout this time, Andrea’s passion for bespoke and custom jewelry has been a cornerstone of Quartz & Canary. She loves the personal connection she creates with clients, designing one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect their unique stories and milestones. Whether it’s an engagement ring, a gift for a loved one, or a custom design with a special message, Andrea thrives on translating personal significance into bespoke, meaningful designs. This personalized approach sets Quartz & Canary apart, allowing Andrea to offer jewelry that is not just beautiful, but deeply personal and impactful.
During its journey, Quartz & Canary has received significant celebrity exposure, press, and media coverage, reflecting the brand’s innovative approach and Andrea’s commitment to impactful design. The recent rebranding has sharpened the company’s focus on three key areas: the Yellow Backpack Project, jewelry with inspirational messages, and impactful community support.
A cornerstone of the rebrand is the Yellow Backpack Project. Each quarter, Quartz & Canary partners with a different charity to fill 25 yellow backpacks with essential items aligned with the charity's needs. These backpacks, symbolizing hope and community support, are donated to make a tangible difference in the lives of those served by the charity.
The rebranded collection also introduces jewelry designed with inspirational messages, drawing from Andrea’s personal experiences and her father’s wisdom. Her father’s struggle with Parkinson’s disease profoundly influenced her, leading to the creation of pieces that support and uplift individuals. These designs are intended to serve as symbols of strength and encouragement, reflecting Andrea’s commitment to making a positive human impact.
In this new phase, Quartz & Canary is placing a stronger emphasis on the "Canary" aspect of its name. The company is committed to "blowing the whistle" on important topics such as self-love, motivation, authenticity, mental health, and personal development.
By focusing on these critical areas, Quartz & Canary aims to spark conversations and inspire change, using its platform to advocate for meaningful issues and support personal growth.
Andrea’s advocacy for her brother Marco, who is on the autism spectrum, and the influence of strong female role models in her life have significantly shaped the company’s values. In addition to the Canary’s role in raising awareness, the name Quartz & Canary reflects a commitment to clarity and resilience, with a renewed focus on impactful, socially conscious initiatives.
As part of the rebrand, Quartz & Canary is also emphasizing the creation of high-quality, investment-worthy pieces. The company is dedicated to offering jewelry crafted from precious and semi-precious metals, such as solid silver and gold, ensuring that each piece provides lasting value to the client. This focus on quality reflects Andrea’s commitment to creating timeless designs that are both beautiful and enduring.
Guided by her belief that “without a passionate disposition for change, there is no progression,” Andrea continues to lead Quartz & Canary with a renewed vision. The company is committed to enhancing individuality and supporting personal growth, while proudly supporting local businesses and maintaining exceptional craftsmanship. Each piece—whether bespoke, custom, or part of the collection—is designed to contribute to the broader mission of positive human impact.
