Lord Violet

Lord Violet is a subversive yet femme jewelry line, influenced by alternative subculture. A consistent theme of black and gold creates a dark, provocative and edgy collection that pushes boundaries. Handcrafted by independent queer designer, Nicola Dawn, in her Montréal studio. For Nicola, subversive fashion seeks to overthrow the conservative politics she faced growing up queer on the Canadian prairies. Faced with limited options to express her invisible femme identity, Lord Violet was created to fill a niche for glamorous, yet alternative jewelry. An aesthetic driven by queer feminist politics, and a fascination and celebration of sexuality seeks to empower wearers through visibility, belonging and self expression.
