Where is our atelier located?
Our atelier is located in the heart of Montreal, Canada.
Where can you find our creations?
Belinclay works primarily in collaboration with carefully selected retail partners, currently located mainly throughout Montreal. These partnerships allow you to discover our creations in spaces that reflect the spirit and aesthetic of the brand.
Our ambition is now to gradually expand this network beyond Quebec by developing new collaborations across Canada, the United States, and Europe.
What metals and finishes do we use?
Our creations combine polymer clay with 316L stainless steel components, sometimes enhanced with an 18K gold-plated finish, as well as hypoallergenic stainless steel findings. Every material is thoughtfully selected to achieve a balance of durability, comfort, and elegance.
We favor materials recognized for their resistance to water, saline environments such as seawater, and the demands of everyday wear, so that our jewelry can accompany you for as long as possible. Belinclay’s philosophy is simple: to create pieces that are not only beautiful, but also thoughtfully designed to last.
Because not all metals age in the same way, we also want to share more about why certain fashion jewelry pieces may tarnish or deteriorate quickly, and how the choice of materials can make a meaningful difference.
More information will soon be available on our blog, currently in development.
What is polymer clay?
Polymer clay is a lightweight, flexible material that can be shaped much like a malleable clay before being hardened through baking, generally at around 130°C (270°F). This process gives the material strength and stability while preserving its remarkable lightness.
Polymer clay offers an extraordinary range of techniques and creative possibilities. It is precisely this versatility that first inspired us and continues to allow us to create an extensive variety of jewelry, from delicate and understated pieces to bold, colorful designs featuring distinctive patterns and carefully composed color combinations.
How should I care for my jewelry?
Polymer clay - Gently clean the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive or chemical products, as they may affect the texture or color of the piece.
18K gold-plated components - Use a soft, dry cloth to restore their shine. For a more thorough cleaning, gently polish with a cloth specifically designed for jewelry. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products, as these may gradually affect the finish over time.
Hypoallergenic stainless steel - Clean with a soft cloth or a small amount of mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly to prevent water marks.
With proper care, your Belinclay jewelry will retain its beauty and radiance for many years to come.
