About the Designer

  • Meet the Designer

  • Sofia Ajram is the Canadian Arts and Fashion Award-winning Designer of Sofia Zakia jewelry. Her work has been featured in Vogue, Forbes, Grazia, and Bazaar Magazine, among others. She earned a BA in Gender, Sexuality, Feminist, and Social Justice Studies and East Asian Studies from McGill University. They are a moderator for the Horror and HorrorLit forums on Reddit and have given lectures on contemporary horror films at Monstrum Montreal.


    Growing up, she cultivated a strong interest in horror and sci-fi cinema and literature and applied those interests to the several facets of visual arts. In 2011 he began metalsmithing classes with a focus in wax carving. In 2016, they launched Sofia Zakia, a channel to combine her fascination with the art of goldsmithing and jewelry’s long and wonderful history of wearable objects with meaning. In 2021, we welcomed Sofia Zakia’s flagship store in the heart of Montreal.

  • Sofia strives to join the quiet intimacy and elegance of jewelry with the magic of storytelling: narratives that emerge from myths, cultures, and stories, both new and old; universal and personal.



    Each object holds beauty and strength over time while imbuing the atmosphere of unique and classic myths and histories. Each piece is designed with intention and wrought from refined gold and precious gemstones. All pieces feature our signature setting style and graceful silhouettes.
