    Toronto based jewelry brand Ali Laure is making headway in the independent design world by keeping it simple. The line abides by a minimalist and architectural aesthetic—a welcome change from the ornate statement necklaces that have dominated the jewelry world for the past few seasons. The brand’s designer, Ali Clarke, derives inspiration from her everyday travels in Toronto: “I am constantly stalking people’s fingers and ears when in line at the bank or grabbing coffee in the morning,” she confesses. Clarke’s talent for scoping out the best trends from the street and distilling them into what she refers to as the brand’s classic feel is a challenge that she welcomes in her studio daily.
