Each piece is carefully crafted into wearable art in limited quantities in This Ilk Montreal studio. Sourcing rare fabrics, designing, hand dyeing, meticulously treating against fraying, stiffening, hand sewing, and assembling are all part of the process. The sheen and softness of the lace is preserved wherever possible. Due to the nature of the production method, each item may vary slightly. Most of the pieces are limited editions as they are created from vintage lace as well as other vintage or exotically sourced materials. There may be slight discolouration or scuffs due to this vintage nature. This is part of the jewelry’s uniqueness and story.

Tamara started collecting special, rare and inspiring lace as well as a few other vintage textile materials . This vintage lace was mostly made of Rayon threading which is an artificial silk made of tree cellulose. Today as the majority of American manufacturers have shut down due to overseas cheap labor, it also becomes more difficult to source high quality rayon lace. Polyester and Nylon are now the dominating fibers in the industry and is mainly produced in Asia. Tamara uses some of these new materials when the shapes were too compelling to ignore.

Most earring hooks are made from silver, gold or bronze plated brass, and certain ear posts are made of (surgical) stainless steel or silver. They are all nickel-free and hypoallergenic. However, the brand offer more hook options for specific needs including clip-ons, gold fill and sterling silver.

The chains are made from steel or plated brass and are nickel-free and hypoallergenic as well.

All earings are nickel-free and hypoallergenic.

Although every piece is made with love and as solid and durable as possible, lace and the occasional fringe remain delicate materials. It is preferable to store the jewelry flat or hanging depending on the design to help keep its shape. Should some of the lace become wrinkled, some options are available including placing under a heavy flat item (ie. book), using a flat iron for hair (specifically for the lack of moisture) on low setting to iron fringe and lace tips as well as Tide-to-go or Shout wipes to brighten whites.

If you have any questions about caring for your This Ilk jewelry please contact them, as different items may require different solutions.

It is highly recommended to wear the included backings behind the ears to avoid losing an earring. If you unfortunately do lose one, please contact us as we might be able to replace it depending on design.
