An Unexpected Passion

About 10 years ago, I saw a necklace in a museum shop in Montreal. I really wanted it, but it was too expensive. When I came home from vacation, my best friend said to me “why don’t you make a similar one yourself? I’ll show you how to do it.”
This was a revelation to me and I’ve been making jewelry every since. I am self taught (my degrees are in all in Philosophy), but I love being creative in any which way.
I’ve always been a self-starter, and motivated to try new things. I like keeping busy, and my hobbies and my jobs tend to blend into one. This is a good thing, because you shouldn’t waste your life doing things that you don’t enjoy.

Gemstones are my passion, and I hope that my item descriptions and photos communicate this. I also love writing and educating my clients on the world of jewelry and gems. You can check out my blog on this website.
My shop grew together with my customers. Most of them are regular buyers who make suggestions, provide feedback, and tell me what works and what doesn’t. Being creative is a collaborative effort – you just have to be willing to work hard and have an open mind. My heartfelt thanks to all of you who have supported me over the years!
