Our Story

Who are we?

Monette & Rivas is the meeting of two women, two worlds — one Venezuelan, the other Canadian — united by a shared passion for the ancestral art of metal embossing.

What began as a learning journey became something deeper — a connection shaped by trust, creativity, and the transmission of a rare craft. At its heart is the exceptional talent of Mrs. Hilda Rivas, master of embossing, whose artistry carries the memory of tradition. Mélanie Karina Monette brings an international vision and artistic direction that transforms this heritage into a contemporary and expressive universe.

Together, they have created more than a brand. They have created a world — where cultures, memory, and art come together through pieces that feel alive.

Monette & Rivas is for women who seek rare, one-of-a-kind pieces — and who appreciate beauty with presence. For women who do not blend in, but choose to stand out with confidence, elegance, and intention. More than jewelry, each piece is an expression of identity, strength, and presence — created to be worn as a reflection of self.

The Inspiration

Many worlds,
one vision.

The sub-collections — Saffron Touch, Kompa Vibes, Teranga Soul, Milagro Hearts, and Northern Glow — are shaped by the journeys behind Monette & Rivas, across countries, cultures, and lived experience.

Each piece carries the essence of a place, expressed through color, form, and memory. More than adornment, these are collectible art jewelry — statement pieces shaped by emotion, memory, and place.

"An ancestral art, reinterpreted through a contemporary form. Metal is shaped, sculpted, and transformed by hand."

What is Embossing?

Embossing is an ancestral art of shaping metal by hand into relief, depth, and texture. At Monette & Rivas, this heritage technique is reimagined through a contemporary language of form — elevated by sculptural composition, hand-painted details, layered materials, and refined finishes.

What begins as a simple sheet of metal becomes an expressive object of beauty: textured, luminous, and entirely unique.

Created with passion. Defined by detail.

Never ordinary.
