The Maker
Maxime Carrière · Barrie, Ontario · Since 2018
Maxime Carrière
Maxime Carrière is a first-generation jeweller — which means he earned his place at the bench without inherited shortcuts. He trained at the Alexandre Diamond Setting School in Belgium, one of the most technically demanding programmes in the discipline, and graduated from the Jewellery and Metals Programme at Georgian College in Canada. He founded M.C. Jeweller Originals in Barrie, Ontario in 2018.
Every piece is made entirely in-house. Maxime casts, forms, and finishes each commission himself — and sets every stone by hand. This is not a marketing position. It is how he works, every piece, every time. His clients range from first-time buyers to those who have owned jewellery from the world's major houses and wanted something genuinely different: a direct relationship with the person who made it, and a standard of attention that a boutique cannot replicate.
What goes into every piece
Diamonds
GIA Certified
Every diamond over 0.25 carats comes with a GIA grading report. We source D–I colour, IF–SI1 clarity, Excellent to Good cut — the range where quality and value genuinely meet. Every stone is conflict-free.
Metals
Hallmarked Always
We work in 10k, 14k, and 18k yellow, white, and rose gold, as well as platinum 950. Every piece is stamped with the M.C. logo — a hallmark of authenticity that travels with the piece forever.
