Our Story
Behind MAË Body Jewelry are two passionate and skilled goldsmiths, Maëva and Gabriel. Their journey began when they couldn't find the right jewelry for Maëva's sister. Motivated by the need of the industry for more high end suppliers and the challenge that it represented, they embarked on a mission to create high-quality gold body jewelry themselves. The positive feedback they received from professional piercers and piercing enthusiasts further fueled their dedication.
Driven by their commitment to safety and innovation, Maëva and Gabriel developed a revolutionary technique that sets their body jewelry apart. They are proud to be the only ones offering solid gold jewelry with titanium pins, making them 100% biocompatible and virtually indestructible. This breakthrough technique ensures optimal comfort and durability, providing peace of mind to both piercers and clients.
We are proud to be the only Canadian manufacturer approved for Phase 2 of the Body Jewelry Verification Program (BJVP) by the Association of Professional Piercers (APP). This prestigious certification recognizes that our jewelry meets the industry’s highest standards for quality, ethics, and long-term wear. As part of our commitment to excellence, every batch of jewelry we cast undergoes rigorous testing, with detailed records maintained in compliance with APP requirements. This dedication ensures that each piece from MAË not only looks beautiful but is crafted to endure.
Our Gold
At MAË, ensuring quality and ethical sourcing of our raw materials is a core commitment. We work exclusively with 14k gold, meticulously testing each batch with a precise XRF machine, to ensure it meets the standards of karat and alloys. Our white gold is palladium-based, providing a hypoallergenic option that aligns with our commitment to safe biocompatible materials. Our workshop works solely with Cadmium Free gold solder.
We also partner exclusively with refiners who offer recycled and conflict-free gold, upholding responsible practices in every piece we create. This dedication to excellence ensures that our jewelry is not only beautiful but crafted beautifully, with care and integrity.
Our Gemstones
Gemstones are often the focal point of jewelry; this is why carefully choosing them is essential. All our CZ models are adorned with premium quality cubic zirconia (AAAAA CZ) that will showcase the best brilliance and offer added durability. The diamonds we use are sourced exclusively from legitimate suppliers who guarantee they are conflict-free, in full compliance with The United Nations Resolutions. Diamonds are tested for synthetics and selected for their good color and clarity.
In addition to diamonds and CZ, we offer a selection of stunning natural gemstones, including rainbow moonstone, amethyst, onyx, opal, turquoise, lapis, garnet, chrysoprase, topaz, sapphire and more. Each stone is carefully hand-set in-house by our skilled stone setter, trained in Antwerp, ensuring secure placement and optimized brilliance of the jewelry.
Quality & Craftsmanship
In concordance with selecting the best materials is our commitment to quality craftsmanship. Our jewelry has been recognized by many professional piercers for its finish, durability, and impressive details. MAË’s founders are professional goldsmiths with many years of experience in high-end jewelry manufacturing. With their extensive background, they developed a unique manufacturing process, making MAË the only manufacturer to offer solid gold body jewelry with embedded titanium pins. This fusion creates extremely durable pins that won’t break or weaken when bent, unlike traditional gold or stainless-steel pins.
Their attention to detail set a high standard of quality from the start. As the team grows, they are committed to training every new bench jeweler to meet this standard of excellence. For your peace of mind, all our standard jewelry comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Some of our pieces feature unique glow-in-the-dark enamel, while others are adorned with exquisite gemstones: from AAAAA Cubic Zirconium to Natural Diamonds or Natural Colored Gemstones, our collection has something for everyone! Attention to details and finishes is our motto and we thrive to make every piece as detailed as possible to add character to your piercings.
