Lidia Raymond

Episode 4: LIDIA by Lidia Raymond

For the fourth episode of my podcast “Jewelry Stories”, I am pleased to welcome Lidia Raymond, a Quebec jeweler based in Montreal. With over 13 years of experience, Lydia tells us about her fascinating journey, from her beginnings making Brazilian bracelets to the creation of her own sterling silver and gold-plated silver jewelry company.

In this episode, Lidia shares her meticulous creative process and her evolution toward a minimalist, delicate style often described by her fans. She shares touching anecdotes about her first sales, her studies in theater, and her chance discovery of the jewelry program that changed her life. We also explore her inspirations for her customizable collections of family jewelry, an idea born from her graduation project.

In speaking with Lidia, I discovered the challenges and joys she encountered in setting up her workshop, the importance of listening to her customers, and the crucial steps from design to production of her unique creations. You will hear how she juggles between craft markets, trade shows and her online store, all while helping to manage the Empreinte coopérative in Old Montreal.

Dive with me into the exciting world of Lidia Raymond and be inspired by her story of perseverance and creativity. Listen to this episode for an immersion into the world of Quebec jewelry and an artist's quest to perfect her art. Don't miss this enriching and inspiring discussion on "Histoires de bijoux".

Since the mission of Bijouterie Lepage is to be an accomplice in people's happiness, I wanted to integrate into my podcast project the possibility of doing useful work. Lidia was kind enough to offer one of her creations that will be auctioned off, with 100% of the proceeds going to the organization "Les Demoiselles de l'Est" which helps women with cancer in Eastern Quebec. (the date and location of the auction will be announced via our social media). Thank you for your great generosity!
