Our 
Story

Sarah Clifford

Sarah Clifford

At the age of 28, our founder, Sarah Clifford, received jewellery-making supplies from a friend while she was undergoing treatment for melanoma. During her treatment, Sarah created one necklace each day. These necklaces were auctioned off, with the proceeds benefiting The Cancer Society and a portion allocated to launching CanBead. From small beginnings, great ideas can flourish.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
