Journey with me into my magical world, from sketch to creation and all the inspiration in between…

I just came across this beauty in my photos. Created a few years ago as an Heirloom Redesign for my client and friend using her family jewelry. She presented her idea and together we embarked on designing this powerful neckpiece set with garnets and diamonds. 💫❤️
I’m at the shop today, 11-5. Message for an appointment or drop by! 2170 Fir Street in Kitsilano, Vancouver.

I have spent the last several days carving up Dream Weaver and infusing her with moon beams and starry nights. 💫🧝‍♀️She’ll have two suspended shooting stars above a juicy lavender/blue parti sapphire...as her first expression into this world. Below is her story....

💫🍃We all have the power to manifest and create the life we want to live. With so many distractions it’s easy to lose focus, get distracted, and to lose your way. Dream Weaver is an anchor and a compass to your dreams. A reminder to not only nurture others, but to nurture oneself. To plant the seeds of your dreams and enjoy the harvest. This is your time to shine, my loves. 💫🍃

🧝‍♀️💫The Enchanted Oak Branch Ring is a versatile little love bug. Today she’s expressed in 14k yellow gold and a .25c diamond. Crafted in your choice of gold colour, set with your choice of gemstone. This little darling plays well with a handful of the Forest Nymph rings!

Last week I discovered this beautiful little canyon with a shallow meandering stream running through. Rocks covered in feathery moss breathing in the condensation. Glacial water cleansing my thoughts and commanding presence.

Working on a golden Artemis Ring...I love how people connect to this carving. Once released to you your story gets woven and tumbled into the curves, the uncoiling of the leaves, the sweeping spirals. Becoming your personal talisman. 🧝‍♀️💫

Sapphires, the birthstone for September! I am alwa

Sapphires, the birthstone for September! I am always amazed to discover new shades of this durable gemstone. Silver, pastels, teal, lavender, peach, yellows, forest green and of course the deep blue we’re all familiar with.
When I started moving more into fine jewellery I always gravitated towards sapphires because I’m infatuated with colour. Sapphires satisfy my thirst on two levels, not only do I get to choose from a rainbow palette, but sapphire also has a hardness if 9. That means perfect for daily wear for a lifetime!
I can find all sorts of shapes and sizes to fit your budget! ❤️
Please take a look through my stories as I’m running a special on these for 24hrs....and make sure to set your alarm for my 6pm Trunk Show, tomorrow on Instagram! 💫

I’m currently working on a body of rings in my Forest Nymph style that all fit together. The ultimate forest stack! Leafy tiara rings, my version of “simple” single stone settings with one wispy leaf, and the bottom carving is a bit more elaborate. The beauty of these is individually and together they all tell a story.
Fun fact, this is what I was driven to do on my “days off”. When inspiration strikes i have learned that it doesn’t wait around. When magic is in the air I listen 💫💃🏻🍃 for the love of ART!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These babies will be ready in about 5 weeks. First they go to casting, then a rubber mould is made. At this point I’m able to reproduce them....which means a wax injection and back to casting....then finishing, cutting off sprues, sanding and perfecting shapes. The icing on the cake is the stone setting. 🤩

Each ring will be available in your choice of white, yellow or rose gold. You will have many gemstone options!
If you have something in mind I’m happy to create a custom carving for you....dream away!

💫When I was 28 I backpacked through India for five months. I was enamoured by the architecture and artistry. One of my stops was Agra to visit the Taj Mahal. The sheer magnificence of this palace is humbling. Inlays of carnelian, lapis and moonstone throughout. Little did I realize that twenty years later the imprint of what I’d seen and experienced would be voicing itself throughout my designs. 💫
This is the Mikayla Pendant, inspired by my travels and visiting the Taj Mahal. When I close my eyes I bring myself right back to sitting in a shadowy alcove, on a marbled ledge. Taking in my surroundings, feeling awestruck by the story and sheer feat and artistry that went into a lifetime of building this palace.

🍃Tendrils of leafy shoots bursting through gnarly slumbering branches, wrapping their life essence around you. Dewy drops of sunlit kissed condensation. The kiss of Mother Nature ever so slowly being carved and transformed into your golden talisman 💫🍃
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Artemis, Goddess of the Forest may be customized in your choice of white, yellow or rose gold. I have created many different versions of this beauty....setting diamonds and sapphires both embedded in the golden tail as well as filling the centre open space. I personally own one in white and one in yellow gold....wearing each depending on my mood. Artemis is like putting on armour to face the day, slipping into your personal expression. She is guaranteed to make you feel powerful, confident, sassy, creative, invincible, and a mirror for your beauty.
❤️ You are Divine. ❤️
