About Us
Esther Winter, jewellery designer, draws inspiration for her designs from life experiences and from her surroundings in northern Canada.
Artist Background
Yukon jewellery designer, Esther Winter, uses Canadian symbolism as well as symbols that are close to the heart on her sterling silver jewellery. She enjoys telling the stories or meanings behind the creation of each symbol and especially loves to hear how the piece is meaningful to the person who eventually will be wearing it.
Esther and her young family have a life full of wonderful contrasts: much of the year living in Mayo, a small village located four hundred kilometres north of Whitehorse but they also make business trips to southern Canada to Christmas Craft Shows and to Trade Shows. They enjoy the balance of spending time in the "city" but as she comments: "In the end, we all love coming home to Mayo. There is a peacefulness here that comes from living in the middle of the Yukon wilderness with people who choose to go through life in an unhurried way."

Creative Process
Jewellery designer, Esther Winter draws each original Winterchild symbol by hand. The symbol is then forged into a hardened steel stamp. Next, the stamp is hammered into the sterling silver to create an imprint. Final touches include curving the silver and polishing.
