Aquamarine Earrings

Although still cloudy in vancouver...summer is coming, I can feel it; the aquamarine stone is a beautiful ocean blue accent for you (looks great on tan people or those with blue eyes)

Happy Mother's Day

Bangles

2008-04-24T19:25:00.000-07:00

What beautiful bangles...it's time to take off the winter gloves and sweaters, and slip into one of these light as a feather bangles.
There is a lot to say for simplicity.

Made of sterling silver, fresh water pearls,
(available in four sizes)

Off to Toronto

I'm always excited to go to Toronto, I really love the city, but more so
I love the crowd at the One of a Kind Show, they are really supportive art
enthusiasts.

People of Toronto, and greater Ontario, I hope to see you there.

The One of A Kind Spring Show:
March 20-24 (Easter Weekend)

My booth is in a slightly weird spot this year, A-55,
which is the last booth of the first row,

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Here's a picture of my assistant, Jenny, modeling, guesse what? The never-ending necklace. This collection received a great response in Philly. A contemporary spin on a classic pearl necklace, it’s fresh, wearable, and versatile.

Back to Work?

2008-01-13T16:29:00.001-08:00

It's not even the end of january, and I find myself having to get back into the swing of things again. Notice the picture behind me, taken when I was young and carefree....

Look at natalie with the two never-ending necklaces...how beautiful.

Dalmatian Comeback

2008-01-04T18:09:00.000-08:00

The most basic necklace- wearable, versatile, and impowering, it provides a simple, unified frame, while offering rich tones and interesting detail. My first "hit", it's proving to be beyond current trend and fashion.

Reflecting on a great Year!

2008-01-04T17:40:00.000-08:00

After a whirlwind tour this past holiday season, from vancouver, through to toronto and chicago, I finally have a moment to reflect on what an amazing year I've had. It was definitely one of the most creative years, and I was moved by the great response of my ladies to the whole spectrum of my work, from the more conservative pieces to the more unusual ones.
Thanks so much for your support.

No matter how wonderful the previous year was, every January I find myself filled with anxiety about the coming year. I decided to channel that energy into a new experiment, a blog.
