A piece in tribute to Marguerite Cloutier-Blouin

One of the first policewomen in Montreal, Marguerite Cloutier-Blouin patrolled the working-class and modest neighbourhood nicknamed the "faubourg à m'lasse" to help families in need. She had the courage to take on a traditionally male role and to use her position to help those less fortunate.

Lidia highlights the importance of the work of this woman, who came to the aid of her community. Her workshop is located in the famous faubourg à m'lasse that Ms. Cloutier-Blouin patrolled.

All the pieces in the new Inspirante collection bear the name of a woman who had a positive influence on her community.

Care of sterling silver jewellery

To keep your charm necklace looking beautiful for as long as possible, here are a few care tips:

• Keep it in an airtight plastic bag, in a dry place.
• Avoid leaving it in the bathroom, as humidity speeds up the appearance of oxidation.
• Gently rub it with a yellow polishing cloth, as needed. Careful, this is not recommended for gold-plated jewellery.
• Don't wear it to go to the beach, the pool and the spa.

Jewellery handmade in Montreal

Lidia handmakes each piece of sterling silver jewellery in her Montreal workshop, in Quebec. It's her way of helping women feel beautiful, radiant and invincible, every day.

A portion of the profits will be given back to the community

For this collection, Lidia decided to help a non-profit organization that she passes by every day on her way to her workshop.

For every piece from the Inspirante collection sold, Lidia will donate $5 to La Relance Jeunes et Familles.

This organization in Montreal's Centre-Sud neighbourhood has as its mission, among other things, to reduce social inequalities, to support perseverance and academic success, and to guide children and parents toward greater autonomy.
