We are Gado: Canada's home for natural Colombian emeralds and fine jewelry crafted in solid 18K gold.

Behind the brand, you'll find Ashley and Pablo - partners in life and in business, based in Mississauga, Ontario.

Ashley's background is rooted in luxury: first as a brand ambassador and professional artist for Saint Laurent and Giorgio Armani, then as the founder of one of Toronto's leading luxury bridal and event service companies, built over fifteen years of destination and GTA bookings. That career was defined by one constant: being trusted with moments that matter, and delivering an experience that matches the significance of them.

Pablo's Colombian heritage runs through everything else we do. Colombian emeralds from the legendary Muzo and Chivor mines are world-renowned for their depth of colour, crystal clarity, and internal life: qualities that have made them the benchmark for emerald quality globally, and increasingly, an investment that outpaces traditional stones. Bringing that access to Canada, with the knowledge and care it deserves, is what Gado was built to do.

Gado was built on a simple but specific belief: that Colombian emeralds are among the most extraordinary gemstones in the world, and that Canadians deserve access to them - properly sourced, honestly presented, and set in gold worth keeping.

We work exclusively in solid 18K gold because fine jewelry should endure. It should outlast trends, survive daily wear, and be worth passing down. Every piece we offer is built with that in mind.

What we offer

Our collection includes ready-to-wear pieces that are available to purchase and ship now. Our made-to-order designs are crafted to your specifications upon order, with your choice of stone, metal colour, weight, and personalization. Our made-to-order pieces are typically completed within 7 to 14 days.

The Emerald Club

Gado members receive access to private pricing, first access to new releases, a birthday offer, and exclusive pieces not available to the public. Membership is currently open to all because we believe that if you're building a collection, you should be rewarded for it.

Our values are straightforward

Quality without compromise. Transparency about materials and sourcing. Service that treats every purchase, whether it's a $900 chain or a $15,000 emerald pendant, as the meaningful investment it is.

Fine jewelry is part of a story — we take that seriously.
