Oz & Ella Design: Kelly Kan

Kelly Kan is, very literally, born to be in the jewellery business. A proud Hong Konger , she is a third generation pearler and second generation jewellery designer. Kelly is a Gemmologist (FCGmA) certified with The Canadian Gemmological Association and an Accredited Jewelery Professional (AJP) with the Gemmological Institute of America, with a specialization in Pearls.

Oz & Ella was founded in 2017 with the original intention of exploring what is possible in the realm of silicone- based designs. As Oz & Ella’s reputation grew as a company that produces pieces that are both fashion forward and infinitely wearable, the line expanded to include other alternative jewellery materials like cotton and fabric. By combining these materials with pearls and other minerals, Oz & Ella are truly creating works of art that are visually beautiful and wonderfully tactile.

The inspiration evolves from collection to collection. The current selection with the Gardiner Museum is an homage to Oz & Ella’s roots in the jewellery business – Pearls and Knots.
