About Us

Some passions begin in childhood and never let go. For Queenie Cao, founder of CAO JEWELRY, that passion was pearls.

Growing up with a deep love for the quiet elegance of pearls and the artistry of handcrafted jewelry, Queenie carried that passion with her when she made Canada her new home. She saw an opportunity — and a calling — to bring something rare and meaningful to the Canadian market: genuine, high-quality pearls sourced directly from the world's finest farms, crafted by hand into pieces that last a lifetime.

Directly from the Source

At CAO JEWELRY, we believe that quality begins at the origin. That's why every pearl we use is sourced directly from trusted farms in Japan, France, and Indonesia — three of the world's most celebrated pearl-producing regions. From the lustrous Akoya pearls of Japan to the golden South Sea pearls of Indonesia and the rare Tahitian pearls of French Polynesia, each gem is carefully selected for its exceptional quality, luster, and beauty.

Handcrafted with Love

Every piece at CAO JEWELRY is handcrafted by Queenie herself. No mass production. No shortcuts. Each necklace, ring, earring, and set is made with patience, precision, and a genuine love for the craft. When you wear a CAO JEWELRY piece, you're wearing something truly one-of-a-kind.

Certified Quality

We stand behind every piece we create. That's why our fine jewelry comes with an IGL (International Gemological Laboratories) appraisal certificate — giving you complete confidence in the authenticity and value of your purchase.

At CAO JEWELRY, we don't just sell jewelry — we create heirlooms. Pieces that tell a story, mark a milestone, and grow more meaningful with time. Whether you're treating yourself or finding the perfect gift for someone special, we're here to help you find a piece that speaks to your heart.
