Gabriela and Costin Lazar - As a team with a background in architecture and visual arts, we have reinvented SILVERBRIDGE and since February 1989, with gusto and determination, have immersed ourselves into the most exciting endeavour generated by designing, producing and retailing a dream creation: wearable art.
We have relied on our ability to offer a large collection of modern jewellery consisting of pieces that set us apart, jewellery that is a vehicle of artistic expression, a cultural exhibit with a common language, treasured for its intrinsic value as well.
Costin, a sculptor and goldsmith, trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bucharest, and OCAD in Toronto, established himself as an independent designer in 1979 in Toronto.
Years later, Gabriela, trained in Germany as an architect, joined the company and became the face and driving force of all business aspects at SILVERBRIDGE.
The collaboration between the sculptor and the architect leading to the innovative jewellery collection, established SILVERBRIDGE as a prime destination for Quality and Style.
Ready made pieces in sterling silver and eighteen karat gold, with the addition of precious and semi-precious gemstones and superb diamonds, sit side by side with custom designs and one-of-a-kind pieces.
While displaying sensuous sculptural shapes with a pronounced architectural easy to wear ergonomic sensibility, the collection instantly came to be recognized as a SILVERBRIDGE trademark. The high degree of intuitive simplicity, partner to a faultless quality of execution true to form and concept, generates the visual and the tactile attraction.
Our shop on Cumberland Street in Yorkville had a full twenty-five year run of successful operation, followed by six more years working out of our home studio in the Annex. In 2020 we took the big decision of relocating to Ottawa, the beautiful Capital City, enjoying the proximity of family. This is where the entire operation continues to function from our newly built Studio.
Without the advantage of a physical store with easy street access, we are happy to welcome our treasured Toronto customers as well as the local patrons, indeed everybody from around the world to visit in person or online.
