How does our jewellery work?
What Other People Couldn't Stop Turning
Best Sellers
The pieces people keep coming back for, ranked by what has sold most over the last two years, here and on Etsy, Jeff de Boer's signed originals included.
Quiet Enough for Work
I got it because I was fidgeting a lot at work. All of the other fidget necklaces seemed a bit too flashy to be wearing at my work place.
Etsy review
Niche Meets Fine
They step the line between "niche" jewellery and fine jewellery. The materials are excellent and the movement is so smooth and slick.
Etsy review
A Great Weight
It has a great weight and the cogs spin smoothly and feels very well made and sturdy.
Etsy review
Tight Tolerances
Pleased with fit and finish of the ring. Tolerances are tight, and gear spins with ease.
Etsy review
Thanks, Jeff
The colors that I custom ordered, gears and stone, look AWESOME! The gears turn flawlessly, very well made! Thanks Jeff!
Etsy review
Worn in Battle
This is a really clever, beautifully made pendant! I decided on the distressed brass armor because it looks like it's been worn in battle. Love it.

Lost in the Post, Sent Again
There was an issue as the first one was lost in the post but the customer service was brilliant and they kindly sent another. Highly recommend!

Ring Necklaces
One Piece, Worn Two Ways
A spinner ring that doubles as a necklace. Every ring necklace carries a gearing, brass gear spinners on a steel ring, turning between two plates. Lift it off to wear on your finger, then put it back and it's a necklace again. The rest of the piece is the same stainless steel and brass as all our jewellery, sometimes with anodized aluminum.
Pick a World
Each collection gathers the pieces drawn from one family of plates: Alberta's wild roses, Gaudí's Barcelona, prairie bees, fossil shells and more.
The Maker
From the Artist Who Armours Mice
Jeff de Boer has spent more than 40 years making museum-quality suits of armour for cats and mice: thousands of pieces since his first armoured mouse in 1986, featured by National Geographic and NPR. He is a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, and makes everything from jewellery to large public sculpture. Every Armét piece is assembled by hand in his Calgary studio.
See his work at jeffdeboer.com, or his signed originals here.
Coming Soon
Design Your Own, from the Plates Up
We're building a configurator where you choose the plates, the gears and the stones, and design a piece from nothing. Can't wait? Every piece already opens in 3D on its product page, where you can change nearly everything but the plates (the gears, their colours, the stones, even which way the plates face) and watch it update as you go.
