About Sonja

 

SONJA PICARD

JEWELRY DESIGNER/ ARTIST/ TEACHER

I believe that jewelry and art is more than decoration. The symbolic pieces we choose to celebrate our life become an extension of ourselves - an expression and a witness to our inner secret language. These adornments inspire us to awaken our dreams and honor our life’s adventures, empowering our personal evolution. ~ Sonja Picard

Sonja Picard has been a professional multi-dimensional artist since 1990. Based in Vancouver, Canada, her creative process is deeply influenced by her extensive 35-year exploration of yogic philosophy, mysticism, spirituality, and the resilience of her clients. Often called a ‘bling therapist” and a modern-day alchemist, Sonja has an innate ability to find symbols that help lift her clients through transformation, celebrating their life journey with meaningful pieces. Sonja's jewelry and art reflect the power of symbolism, seeking to awaken the mind, restore balance, and facilitate physical and emotional well-being.

Sonja’s art career began in ceramics, where she created intricate sculptures, architectural ceramics, and giftware. Her unique designs and dedication to her craft led her to collaborate with a world-renowned giftware company, where her creations gained international recognition. Sonja also spent several years exploring glass sculpture, mastering kiln and sand-casting techniques.

Since 2000, Sonja has  become an acclaimed jewelry designer, creating several collections including BohoShakti, Lush Hippie, and her latest, Affirmation Love Notes. This new line is designed to inspire and awaken the transformative power of words. Sonja considers herself an ‘Affirmation Activist,’ utilizing the power of repeating positive words and mantras into her daily life for 40 years.  Her Affirmation Love Notes serve as daily tools to harness the transformative power of word. In a world where both harmful and uplifting words hold profound influence, Sonja’s creations seek to empower individuals to become agents of positive change, cultivating a ripple effect that has the potential to transform lives and foster a world where positivity, empathy and love prevail.

Sonja is an international teacher, artist and jewelry designer. Her work can be found in some of the most exquisite spas internationally and boutique stores. Her clients are visionaries, celebrities and those who seek connection and expression of their heart.


Company Values

“Thoughtful consumption and how we leave the Earth and its resources for future souls, is a mindful yogic principle of karmic consciousness – and this translates as ahimsa.”

Ahimsa is the ancient yogic view that all life is sacred. Therefore, no animal products are used in SPC. In addition, Sonja offers conflict-free Canadian diamonds, known to be acquired through high-standard mining practices sensitive to the environment. Careful attention is also applied to a concerted effort to reduce SPC’s carbon imprint.

Sonja works with local suppliers and artisans, creating lasting relationships within the community. This mandate supports Sonja’s vision to maintain the highest quality and excellence in each and every piece that bears her name.
