Commemorative artistry, grounded in service.
Pickering’s Legacy & Loom was founded by Teresa Pickering, a Royal Canadian Navy Veteran and Senior Public Servant, to preserve the honours and milestones that shape Canadian lives.
The studio
A practice born from purpose
A lifelong passion for traditional embroidery met a recognized need for more thoughtful ways to display and preserve the honours earned by Canadian service members.
Today, the studio brings meticulous handwork, symbolic detail, and an understanding of Canadian honours and protocol to every commission.
Our mission
Honour, held with accuracy and care.
We honour the dedicated service of Canadians through meticulous hand-embroidery and symbolic jewelry, creating high-end personalized commemorative artistry for military, academic, and public service milestones.
The collection
Heirlooms and ceremonial regalia
Bespoke Jewelry
Service-colour bracelets with symbolic knot-work, designed as intimate, wearable expressions of service and connection.
Specialized knowledge, personal meaning
Unlike mass-market alternatives, each embroidered crest and medal mount is guided by specialized knowledge of Canadian honours and protocol—so every detail is accurate, dignified, and made to endure.
