Jewellery
Meet the Maker
Dana Sahian is a jeweller, speech-language pathologist, and someone whose work and life have been deeply shaped by both professional and personal experience.
Through decades of supporting people with disabilities, her own lived experience with chronic pain, and her role as a caregiver to children with invisible disabilities, Dana has developed a deep understanding of resilience, self-compassion, and the strength people carry in ways others may not always see.
My Collection brings these parts of her world together through meaningful, handcrafted jewellery designed to offer comfort, spark connection, raise awareness, and give back.
The Meaning Behind My Collection
My Collection is jewellery created with purpose and worn with intention. Each piece is designed to carry meaning — supporting causes, raising awareness, and giving back through every purchase.
Woven throughout the collection is a gently wrapped coil, symbolizing strength, resilience, and being supported with care. It reflects the ways we endure, adapt, and remain connected — wrapped in understanding, while still honouring space and independence.
Inspired by lived experience, self-care, and connection, these designs are meant to be worn daily as quiet reminders of strength, boundaries, and belonging — for those living with visible and invisible disabilities, and for those who stand beside them.

Create Your Piece in Four Simple Steps
Design a piece that reflects your story in just a few simple steps.
Simply choose your ribbon, chain, cause, and how your message will be worn.
Step 1: Choose Your Ribbon
Begin with the piece that reflects your experience — or the story you want to honour.
Each ribbon is thoughtfully designed as a symbol of space, energy, or connection — meant to be worn as a quiet reminder of what matters most.
Pricing is based on ribbon style and size.
My Space
My Space Ribbon - Little (length 1.1") $90 + chain
May Space Ribbon - Big (length 1.3") $140 + chain
My Space represents what isn’t always seen, setting boundaries, and holding space.
Designed as a gentle reminder to honour your limits, this piece also represents the parts of you that aren’t always visible — the inner experience, effort, and needs that are real even when they go unseen.
It can be worn as a personal cue or a subtle signal to others. My Space affirms the right to take up space quietly and intentionally, and to protect what matters — including the parts of yourself that don’t require explanation.
My Spoon
My Spoon Ribbon - Little (length 1") $90 + chain
May Spoon Ribbon - Big (length 1.5") $140 + chain
My Spoon represents energy, pacing, and self-awareness. Based on *spoon theory, this piece is designed as a gentle reminder to check in with yourself and move through the day with intention — conserving energy, respecting limits, and letting go of guilt.
It can be worn as a personal cue to pause, rest, or choose differently. My Spoon affirms that listening to your body and mind is an act of care, not compromise.
* Spoon theory is a way to understand how energy is used and conserved when living with chronic illness or disability, or when caring for someone with complex needs.
My Hug
My Hug Ribbon - one size (length 1.4") $140 + chain
My Hug represents comfort, reassurance, and quiet connection.
Designed as a gentle reminder of care and presence, this piece offers support without expectation — subtle, grounding, and meant to be worn on your own terms.
It can be worn for yourself or given to someone who appreciates thoughtful, non-intrusive expressions of care.
My Hug honours comfort that feels safe, chosen, and personal.
