About Us

What's in a name?
The name Shiny Monkey comes from a childhood nickname. My mother affectionately called me her shiny monkey because I was always drawn to shiny things during our shopping trips. That playful, curious spirit is at the heart of Shiny Monkey—it celebrates joyful moments and the simple wonder of everyday beauty.

Meet the Designer & Maker
I'm Gabby Wilson, the designer and maker behind Shiny Monkey. For over 20 years, I've immersed myself in art, jewellery, glass, and design. My journey includes studies at George Brown College, Sheridan College, and the University of Guelph, along with countless workshops and hands-on experiences that have shaped my craft.

Shiny Monkey is proudly Canadian; every piece is handmade using fine materials such as crystal glass and sterling silver. My designs are inspired by the playfulness of life, the elegance of simplicity, and a deep appreciation for the beauty found in the natural world.

Thank you for visiting Shiny Monkey and supporting this small business. I hope my work brings a little joy and sparkle into your life.
