Real Weddings magazine did a nice feature on my jewellery designed with brides in mind.

They highlight something I’ve noticed about more and more brides: they’re looking for lasting mementos for their wedding.  As the story says, if you choose your jewellery carefully it can be the one part of your wedding outfit that you can wear forever.

My friend Nadine of Casa Home Decor and I are joining forces to do an open house featuring ‘Modern Accessories for Spring’ on April 9, at her shop in the Armoury District.

I’m showing new pieces designed to brighten up winter wardrobes while we’re waiting for spring to get serious.Image

And Nadine is showing felt home accessories from Daff, a fabulous line of felt products from Germany, made from high quality merino wool. They’re sleek and sophisticated and come in both cheery primary colours and soft earth tones that suggest wood and stone.

I’m a sucker for the bags, which are light and strong as well as stylish. A much nicer way to tote groceries than a ratty backpack.

Here are the details:

A privileged job

11 Tuesday Mar 2014

When I began designing jewellery I never expected that I would be given a privileged glimpse into people’s private lives. But that is what happens every time I get a new commission.

ImageWhether I’m creating a rope of pearls for a bride who is already planning to give the necklace to the daughter she hopes to have, or earrings for someone to wear to a job interview, I’m fascinated by how many people see jewellery as a talisman. Even for the most practical people I know jewellery is a kind of good luck charm. And it is often worn as something that reminds us of who we are as we go out into the world.

We all know that about wedding rings. We’re wearing our commitment in public and reminding ourselves of our partners. But I see people using necklaces, earrings, and bracelets as to remind themselves of family, friends, hopes, goals, and their happiest moments.

And here I thought I was just making something pretty to jazz up a little black dress.
