Hey, I’m Miriam.

A founder and writer based in Toronto, Canada. Most of my time is spent running my fine jewelry business called Simon & Gloria. I studied business, then worked in tech before entering the world of gold and gemology.

Now, I curate a collection of vintage pieces and help my customers’ jewelry dreams come true by sourcing unique stones and designing engagement rings.

You may also know me from my blog, 52 Friends. In October 2022, I set a goal to make one new friend or reconnect with an old one for 52 weeksall in the name of advocating for the prioritization of platonic love.

Now, I’m doing it again while working on my first book!
