This is the last one in my short series of delicate little charm bracelets, and for my last one I’ve chosen the beautiful city of Florence. The Ponte Vecchio at blue hour, that perfect sky colour and the Arno river so still and reflective inspired me to create this last bracelet – with a deep blue…

This one was a blast to make. As with the Venice bracelet it’s genuine Swarovski crystals and whimsical antique copper findings in a delicate, romantic little bracelet reminiscent of my time in beautiful Paris. It was October when I went and the trees in the jardin des tuileries were in full autumn mode. This show is…

Be prepared this week to see a lot of jewellery – I’m in full prep mode for Le Pop! this weekend and thinking, breathing and dreaming out new designs for my selection. Each piece will be part of my Inspira series – jewellery inspired by my photography and travels. I try to convert the feeling,…

In the tradition of my other Inspira pieces I’ve created a bracelet inspired by the Lake of Quidi Vidi in St. Johns, Newfoundland: Tito and I shot the lake during the blue hour. It was a very serene spot. I love the deep blues and the reflections in the water. The Quidi Vidi bracelet was…

I wanted to share a super easy technique for bead weaving that I used to create an adorable Swarovski crystal bracelet, at less than a tenth the price. I needed 32 large frosted Swarovski beads, 16 clear ones and 32 small copper beads – you might need more depending on what size you want to…

My mom is far more creative than I am. Here are her latest bracelets ;) White Swarovski crystals paired with ivory Swarovski pearls. Silver findings, a silver dragon charm and filigree toggle clasp top off this incredibly blingy bracelet. Each charm (there are 95 of them in total) is double wound at the base to…

Just a random smattering of what I’ve been up to lately – Enjoy! Following on the fun I had with my swirly mugs I tried to take the same technique to this vase. One thing I’m realizing is that the shellac doesn’t form a complete barrier against the underglaze, but I kind of like it…

Every Sunday for a few months now my mom and I have made a habit (quickly becoming a tradition) of getting together to design, make and photograph jewellery. Here are her latest! These adorable, bunchy little earrings were our main project. They’re made with 4 different sizes of Swarovski crystal, tiered to created these sparkly…

Gone forever… The dragonfly bracelet is lost =o( not 2 days after I finally made matching earrings, I decided to wear it out of the house for the first time. Witness, the absolute madness that is trying to board a train on the Yonge line during rush hour. I hate the TTC! I can’t wait…

This weekend mom made a very cute bracelet, with super glittery large Aurora Swarovski beads. She chose to offset the beads with large silver balls, they worked perfectly with the sterling silver rope-textured toggle clasp she chose: Large, single drop earrings on silver chain complete the set: The piece has incredible glitter-factor ;o) There is…
