Lace & Grain

I started Lace (representing the epoxy side) and Grain (representing the wood side) back in 2019 after a year of making jewelry for family and friends and finally decided to turn my passion into a business.

I would love to design a custom piece just for you. If you have a preference of wood, shape, or colour, contact me today and I would be happy to provide you a customized quote.

FAQ

  1. Where does the name Lace & Grain come from? 

    • Lace and Grain came from wanting a word to describe the woodside and a word to describe the epoxy side. So the grain is the wood's more rough side and lace is the epoxy's more delicate side. For the necklaces, I wanted to use a very fine chain to keep it dainty. In addition, I am working on finding some leather for the certain pendents as well.

  2. When did Lace and Grain start? 

    • I started Lace and Grain after seeing a necklace my brother had made for his girlfriend when they visited me in Indonesia. After returning to Canada in July of 2019, I started making necklaces for friends and family and got really inspired so I decided to turn it into a company.

  3. What made you want to focus on the products you offer? 

    • I have always loved jewelry and thought I could be really creative with necklace pendants. I have seen some pretty incredible jewelry in my travels, especially in Asia, and wanted to put my own spin on it by incorporating some Canadian roughness (various woods) and create pieces that I think are unique. 

  4. Describe in your own words, the connection Lace and Grain has with BeardBrothers Woodworking and how the two companies support one another?

    • So BeardBrothers WoodWorking is my brother, Jordan Elias, who made the necklace for his girlfriend that inspired me but also the one who has shown me the ropes and all the little tips and tricks that goes into working with wood and epoxy. I get all my wood from him and he’s great for brainstorming when I get ideas of how Lace and Grain can grow. 

  5. Are there any future products you’re interested in branching out to? 

    • So far, I have really enjoyed creating earrings, necklaces, coasters, and hair clips. However, I am always thinking of new ideas and love all the possibilities there are. I would love to do trinket trays or serving trays. 

  6. Are there other fun facts about Lace & Grain you’d like to share? 

    • I really love how my friends and family have totally supported me. From helping me come up with the company name to suggestions on shapes and sharing posts online. Manitoba is so full of makers/creators who support one other and it inspires me to keep creating.
