Skanda – A unique jewelry store in Victoria, BC
Skanda Jewelry was established Victoria, BC, in 2001 and founded by designer and artist Mary Wakefield. For over two decades, Mary has traveled around the world and has created strong business relationships with gold and silversmiths as well as stonecutters and drillers of gemstones. It is this extensive network of gemhouses and craftsmen that allows Skanda to bring you the most unique and highest quality gemstones that the world has to offer.
For us, healthy working conditions of the cutters, drillers, goldsmiths and silversmiths are essential when choosing a merchant and rank as high in importance as the quality of the gemstones themselves.
Skanda employs our own in-house designers who are always looking ahead of current trends in fashion to bring clients the most up-to-date and unique jewelry pieces. Our talented designers are continually creating beautiful, exclusive handmade jewelry pieces, offered to our customers with love and care.

Skanda is proud to support and participate in many fundraising opportunities for charities locally and world-wide.
