Gisele Ashekian is a Montreal-based jewelry designer and antique/vintage jewelry curator. Her goal is to create pieces that feel empowering, unique and timeless to women. Each piece is a representation of her playfulness and curiosity. 

Growing up with a grandfather in the business, jewelry was always Gisele’s North Star. She always knew she’d follow in his footsteps. Gisele was able to witness firsthand the creativity behind making and designing fine jewelry, as well as curating antique pieces that tell a story… where modernity meets a classic bygone era.

Gisele’s aim is to empower women through her wearable designs that are unique yet timeless representations of her creativity. Always a lover of antiques and gems, she strives to create and sell wearable pieces of art that feel like empowering forms of self-expression. Eighthundred Studio was founded in 2015, featuring fine jewelry pieces that represent everyday wearable elegance - jewelry with a playful edge.
