Our Story
Meet Carrie Lamb
Having studied design and marketing in England, with graduate training in the high-end fashion industry in London, Carrie launched her fine jewellery and lifestyle brand, FRIDA, 20 years ago in Nova Scotia.
In ancient Norse, the name FRIDA means beautiful and beloved. Dedicated to Carrie’s daughter, FRIDA symbolises strength, beauty and empowerment.
Jewellery is more than an adornment; it is our armour, our protection, a means of communication and transformation.
In the midst of my darkest time, it was imperative that I find a new path; a new reality that at some point would transform the fear, as a consequence of betrayal, into the freedom of a new beginning.
Fear can limit and inhibit vision; however, it guided me to reconnect with a passion from my past… creating jewellery on the playgrounds of my childhood.
Having the courage to follow one’s intuition is easier when there is little to lose; that said, the journey of reinvention began literally on my living room floor! Surrounded by gems, raw stones and pearls, I began to create pieces that became the foundation of my first collection, CARIBOU.
Creating beautiful jewellery is a journey. It begins with a vision; a vision through which we celebrate master craftsmanship, innovative design and every facet of the process. Each exquisite gem is set into treasures that transcend trends. Celebrate your journey… be your own brand.
As an independent brand, we are able to create our own path. Building jewellery by hand in Canada is enormously important to me as a designer. Our quality of workmanship is second to none.
One of my greatest pleasures lies in creating stunning jewels that speak to the individuality of my clientele. One should not be defined by a brand; rather, the brand should capture and speak to one’s unique aesthetic.
