~Serendipity~ I have been wearing my Serendipity Ring for close to 20yrs. This is my third time switching my gemstone. I began with a pink ruby and diamond. When I went through a massive life change I removed the diamond and switched the ruby for a red spinel. The spinel was too soft for me (hardness of 8.5) and I wore the facets down after 5 years. Now I have this juicy forest green sapphire that I adore!!! The hardness is a 9, which should be hard enough to play with me for decades!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s 4:00 and I’m heading home early....the snow is coming down in puffy little clouds blanketing the city...it’s a winter wonderland out there, Vancouver! I’ll let you know tomorrow if I’ll be opening....it will be Mother Nature’s call! 💞✨🍃
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Curious about my wax friends? Those little love bugs are my latest playmates....the one on the left will be a pendant with aquamarine and a diamond, the ring on the right a ruby, the wax in the background is what I start with...all I can say is my job rocks! 😉

This beauty just left my little love nest today. Gypsy Rose was custom created for the lovely Myra. She loved my original carving however wanted to modify and make the diamonds larger as well as the size of the whole pendant by 1mm all around. Oh, and set this stunner of a ruby!! (There are videos and close up photos in my stories today!) This version of Gypsy Rose is carved 18k yellow gold wrapping leafy tendrils around a .99c ruby flanked by two glitter-bomb diamonds 💫✨ Made...with....love!!! 💞

Wishing you all a very happy New Year!
This photo of my Artemis carving feels very fitting for the love message and wishes for all of you for the new year. May you realize your dreams, may you move forward into the year with kindness and compassion for yourself and others. You are a powerhouse, with so much joy and beauty to share.
Thank you to all of you for being part of my life and journey! 🥰
(Written with a swelling heart and a crocodile tear of joy gratitude up in my eye! )
🥰💫✨ Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt was born out of a vision and desire to capture a message from a self reflective moment in time. Representing change and looking the unknown in the eye , taking risks, and believing in yourself and life journey. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
