Our story
About Daphne Lorna
Daphne Lorna is the collaboration of two sisters, Daphne Lorna Evans and Cindy Evans McCoy. We design jewelry that is simple, a little unexpected, and made to wear every day.
Two sisters, one line
We grew up in Montreal and have been making jewelry for as long as we can remember. Our mother was an avid bead collector, and with two more sisters in the house, design and style were always part of everyday life.
We’re both happiest outdoors, and that’s where most of our ideas begin: a day fishing on the river, a moose spotted along the trail, or a field of wildflowers in July. That same care goes into the little details of our jewelry—how each piece feels, fits, and moves with you, from a day on the trail to a night out.
Daphne lives in Montana and runs production at our studio in Milltown, just outside Missoula. Cindy lives in Atlanta and handles design, marketing and the business side of dL.
Inspired by the West
Our designs come from the places we love: rivers and trout, bison and bears, mountain ranges, Glacier and the Tetons, and the wildflowers that cover Montana every summer. Many of our customers wear a piece to remember a trip, a favorite river or a place they call home.
How we make it
Every piece begins in our Milltown studio as solid brass. Some designs are etched by us in the studio and others are laser engraved by a local partner in Missoula. Back in the studio, we add texture by hand with a hammer or bur. Then each piece goes to a professional plater for its final matte silver or antique brass finish.
Our jewelry is lead-free, nickel-free and cadmium-free, and our earwires are sterling silver or 14k gold filled, so they’re kind to sensitive ears. Learn more about our finishes.
The dL crew
Grace, Merryn, Lucy and Hanna help us make, finish and ship every order. You’ll also see them modeling our jewelry and behind the scenes on our social media.
Made just for you
We love custom work: names, dates, coordinates or a place that matters to you. See our custom pieces.
