THE HOUSE
THIRD EMPRESS
Third Empress is an independent jewellery house exploring the space between jewellery, sculpture and personal mythology.
Each piece begins as a study in form - sometimes architectural, sometimes celestial, sometimes organic, sometimes strange - and becomes something meant to be worn, lived in and made your own.
Designed on Gabriola Island, British Columbia.
SIX WORLDS. ONE HOUSE.
Six distinct worlds of form, colour and imagination.

DESIGNED TO BE COLLECTED
Third Empress isn't built around matching sets or seasonal trends.
Each collection is a world of its own, with pieces designed to work individually and together.
Start with a pair of studs. Add a ring. Find a pendant you can't stop thinking about.
Layer pieces from the same world - or move between them.
There is no right way to collect Third Empress.
MEET THE DESIGNER
TAYLOR HANCOCK
ARTIST + DESIGNER
Third Empress is the jewellery I've always wanted to make.
I'm an artist and designer working from Gabriola Island, BC. My practice spans illustration, jewellery, visual storytelling and design, with a particular fascination for symbolism, architecture, natural forms and the strange places where those things overlap.
After discovering silversmithing in 2023, I began translating the forms that had previously existing in drawings and imagination into something tangible. Third Empress grew from that process - an entire jewellery house built around the worlds I wanted to explore.
