About The McDaid Collective
Welcome to The McDaid Collective, where we believe in the power of nature-inspired luxury and the timeless stories each piece of jewelry can tell. Founded by Tyler McDaid, our collection embodies the very essence of sustainability, craftsmanship, and global responsibility—values that guide every decision we make, from sourcing conflict-free diamonds to forging meaningful connections with our customers.
A Founder With a Vision
Born with an innate curiosity and a keen eye for details, Tyler always sought beauty in simplicity. Growing up, he found himself captivated by the intricate patterns in nature—whether in the curl of a vine or the shimmer of the morning dew. This fascination drove him to dream of a collection where every gem would carry a story as pure and treasured as the environments they came from.
Over time, Tyler’s passion crystallized into a single mission: to curate and create pieces that respect the planet, honor the people who bring these jewels to life, and resonate with those who wear them. Armed with a commitment to sustainable sourcing and a love for fine craftsmanship, he launched The McDaid Collective to bridge the gap between elegance and eco-consciousness, proving that luxury can—and should—align with our responsibility to the Earth.
The McDaid Collective: Where Sustainability Meets Storytelling
What truly sets us apart is our unyielding dedication to conflict-free, ethically sourced diamonds and environmentally responsible materials. Each piece tells its own tale of origin and artistry, capturing moments of awe inspired by landscapes around the globe. From delicate florals reminiscent of dewy gardens to bold, modern designs reflecting the interplay of sun and shadow, our collections mirror the natural wonders that shaped them.
Here, you’ll find more than jewelry—you’ll discover an invitation to celebrate the brilliance of our planet, honor your personal journey, and make a conscious choice for a better tomorrow. Our collections aren’t just about looking good today; they’re about leaving a legacy for generations to come.
An Easter Egg Named Toffee
If you notice something playful woven into our site—perhaps a subtle nod to a beloved four-legged friend—you’ve stumbled upon one of our hidden Easter eggs. Toffee, Tyler’s spirited dog and loyal companion, has left her mark throughout our distinct collection titles. Much like the precious gems in our pieces, Toffee’s presence brings warmth, joy, and an unexpected delight to our corner of the online world. Keep an eye out for her name; once you see it, you’ll realize the heart and humor woven into all we do.
