At Queenstown Goldsmiths, we specialize in crafting exceptional wedding and engagement rings tailored to your unique love story. Our commitment to quality, uniqueness, and craftsmanship shines through every piece we create, and we take pride in incorporating responsible practices by upcycling your old gold into new, exquisite designs that are made exclusively for you.
During your initial consultation, we engage in conversations about your ideas, inspirations, and the story behind your love. From there, we create multiple sketches, collaborating with you to refine the design that truly reflects your vision. Every element of your ring is meticulously handcrafted from scratch, ensuring that each piece is one-of-a-kind and brimming with meaning.
Our studio is located in New Brunswick, but we happily serve clients across Canada. Whether you're seeking a wedding ring, an engagement ring, or jewellery to commemorate a special occasion, we are happy to collaborate with you in bringing your vision to life.
We love working with you and creating a treasured symbol that celebrates your unique love, and journey.

More about the artists…
Aidan and Erica Stanley are artists, goldsmiths, educators, entrepreneurs, and arts advocate living along the beautiful Wolastoq River, in New Brunswick. The Stanley’s got engaged while living in Nunavut, teaching jewellery making and goldsmithing at the Nunavut Arctic College and Inuksuk High School. They were outdoors on the land at every chance, and just adored the wide open tundra. The Wolastoq River kept calling them home, and they returned to start homesteading on a beautiful plot of land near the river.
These two began building their house, by hand, one 2x6 at a time. This monumental build would be the largest thing in scale they create together, but their best work by far is their beautiful son, born at home amongst their gardens and forest. These homesteaders grow a lot of their own food in their garden, raise animals, and build things from the materials in the forest and on the property. The couple works with the land, enjoys slow-food, and makes art in their home, studio, and forest.
Much of their inspiration for wedding, engagement and anniversary rings comes from their clients very directly. They also have artistic practices, which is quite creatively informative and fuelling to the work they create at Queenstown Goldsmiths.
Aidan Stanley considers himself a maker more than anything else. It is a compulsion at this point as he is always making something: jewellery, wooden boxes, a house and all the cabinets, counters, trim and flooring that go inside. Aidan is an award winning artist, with many artsnb grants under his belt; he is currently designing artwork to be installed in Fundy National Park, alongside 19 other CraftNB makers, with thanks to the Beneath the Surface Artist Residency. Erica also has work in this show in Fundy Park: large copper forms protectively housing brass North Atlantic Right Whale sculptures.
Erica’s artistic practice serves as a means of experiencing, understanding, and honouring the natural world around her. She creates fine jewellery, metal sculptures, as well as large-scale painting and jewellery installations, and has shown in various galleries including the Beaverbrook Art Gallery. She has taught goldsmithing at the Nunavut Arctic College, and currently is a Studio Head of Entrepreneurship at the NB College of Craft and Design (NBCCD), as well as a Jewellery Instructor.
Aidan and Erica’s complimentary skill-sets, and design sensibilities make for a well-rounded team at Queenstown Goldsmiths. Message us today to book a free consultation! info@queenstowngoldsmiths.com
