Behind the Scenes

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

✨❤️Created in honour of and inspired by Dr.

✨❤️Created in honour of and inspired by Dr. Bonnie Henry, BC’s Chief Medical Officer, who has gracefully and cautiously led us through the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
I’d like to introduce The Bonnie Bees! 💫🐝✨Bonnie Bee and Little Honey. Last month I reached out to Dr. Henry as a longtime client and expressed the desire to create a piece of tribute jewelry with proceeds going to a local charity. Together we chose @wishdropin Centre Society to provide relief to vulnerable women in this challenging time, especially those living and working in the Downtown Eastside.
Every bee purchased will help provide food, essential supplies such as clothing and toiletries, access to sanitation such as showers and toilets, educational programs, and essential support. 🐝💫The bee symbolizes life, community, and personal power. My hope is people will wear these bees in solidarity with one another as a representation of kindness and compassion for their neighbor and community. ❤️
As Dr. Bonnie says...Bee calm, bee kind, bee safe! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~The Bonnie Bee~Bonnie Bee’s wings are truly enchanting. An internal climbing vine filigree pattern laces throughout the wings. This beauty is anatomically correct with a carved underbelly and six little legs, like she’s perched on a petal. This beauty comes with your choice of pink sapphire eyes, diamonds, emeralds, or blue sapphire eyes. ~Little Honey~This darling honeybee may be tiny in size but she’s a fierce and mighty pollinator! Her wings are delicately detailed, and she’s carved front and back with six little legs. The angle of her wings make her look like she’s about to wrap a flower in her loving embrace 🍃🐝

The Tree of Life Ring is symbolic of community com

The Tree of Life Ring is symbolic of community coming together. Locking roots, sharing nutrients, communicating and deeply caring for one another. The three branches represent family...leafy shoots burst forth, misty raindrops settle, tendrils wrap, coil, and climb through rocky soil turning their face to the sun. 🍃✨
The carving of Tree of Life began back in March right when my city went into lockdown. This carving helped me make sense of our new today, to find meaning and beauty while being witness to a world in flux. Through the meditation of carving this beauty I felt deep purpose and in turn great joy. I think of all of you, and these branches wrapping around you in a motherly embrace. 💫🍃
I must share that Tree of Life is my most complicated carving yet...30 ish hours of watching the design grow, unfurl, and blossom before my eyes. I chose rose cut diamonds as they magnetically pull you into the design and into the heavenly starlight. I also sprinkled a couple brilliant cut diamonds for a little flashy ooh la la! 💫🍃 This original is available, DM me for the juicy deets! It will take a couple weeks before she’s up on my website. She may be customized in white, yellow, rose or palladium white gold. Diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, tanzanites...the world is your oyster 💞🥳

I love this version of the Artemis, Goddess of the Forest Ring. This beauty is living her best life in Edmonton....she was an Heirloom Redesign with my client’s diamonds. 🤩
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Artemis ring is like slipping into your warrior self...she’s an outspoken beauty that wraps her loving tendrils around you 🍃💫
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The design of Artemis came to me in a vision....I quickly put pencil to paper and sketched what I saw in my mind’s eye and in my heart. Drawing her was an outpouring of energy and emotion, inspired by a gorgeous day out in nature. The carving of this beauty was around 30 hours ...however it doesn’t end there. Once a design goes to casting and moulding it takes about one month to have the original moulded , photographed, loaded to my site, then available to you. The wait is always torturous...so I distract myself by....carving more designs! 🤣🤣🤣
I have written a blog about the full story and inspiration behind Artemis. She was created in a time of my life of massive change....my daughter was moving out of the house and over to a different island, I was closing my store in Victoria and moving to a new city. Closing doors and opening new ones...with courage and grace.
You’ll find the blog at MelissaCaron.Com ...on the blog page....as well as many other origin stories I’ve shared 🥰💫

Tomorrow night (Thursday) I’ll be going live at 7pm PST time on Instagram! The theme will be “Shades of Sapphires”. 🍃💫
For years and years I have gravitated towards sapphires as an alternative gemstone to a diamond. When choosing a gemstone that you’ll be wearing everyday, for a wedding, engagement, or anniversary ring, you want to be thinking about the hardness of a stone so it can endure day to day wear and tear. A diamond is the hardest stone (10) , and a sapphire and ruby is a close second at a 9.
I will always talk to people about gemstone hardness when they inquire about other gems. I ask about their lifestyle and most often steer them towards a sapphire if they’re wanting a splash of colour. I can find sapphires in a rainbow of colours and many different shapes to choose from. 😍Join me tomorrow night on Instagram Live where I’ll be showcasing all these juicy colours!! Not to worry if you miss it, you’ll be able to access it for 24hrs. 🧚🏻‍♀️
