At Ma Folie, they design engagement rings for people who want something a little different. Founder, owner, and designer Cathy started the studio because she didn’t see herself—or her style—reflected in traditional jewelry stores. She wanted rings that felt personal, meaningful, and a little outside the box. Turns out, a lot of others did too.
If you're looking for a handmade engagement ring that feels like yours from the start, you're in the right place.
Ma Folie’s studio is located inside a heritage building in Vancouver with sweeping city views. It’s not a showroom—there are no glass cases or pressure to buy. Instead, clients are welcomed into a relaxed space with music, a comfortable sofa, and rings displayed openly on the coffee table.
Consultations are by appointment only and designed to be low-pressure and collaborative. Most people arrive with a general idea of what they want, and Cathy helps them shape it into something real—whether they’re shopping solo or with a partner.
Each ring is made from scratch, never from a template or mass-produced setting. After the initial consultation, Cathy works with the client to refine the design, select the right stones, and finalize the setting. Some clients need just one meeting, others come back for a second—especially if they want to view stones in person.
There’s a $150 sourcing fee for specific stone requests, which is applied toward the ring if the client decides to move forward. The full process typically takes 6 to 8 weeks from deposit to delivery, depending on the complexity.
Ma Folie’s handmade rings span a range of styles—from minimalist lab diamond solitaires to bold sapphires in unexpected colours. Cathy uses both lab-grown and natural diamonds, along with carefully sourced sapphires, rubies, and emeralds.
Each design is tailored to the client’s taste and values. Whether they’re after something modern, vintage-inspired, or entirely one-of-a-kind, the end result is a ring that feels like it could only belong to them.
