Remember September with Sapphire!

Make it a

September

to Remember

Greetings!

The summer brought us into a new COVID phase and some promising new beginnings. The lovely warm sunny days were welcomingly interrupted by the long-awaited sprinkle of rain to help dampen the dry timber around us.

I finally resumed attending outdoor art and craft fairs at the Harmony Arts Festival, It sure was nice to be out seeing customers and showing off all my new creations that had been hidden in my Studio for the past year!

Thank you so much to everyone who came by at

the Harmony Arts Festival and for making this first in-person market a real success! The rain did not dampen our spirits, as I had so many friendly faces visiting my booth and supporting me and the Festival!

Waiting for the day I can set up at the

Granville Island Public Market again!

Missing all my Market family and friends.

For now I can only take walks around the Island

with my family.

I'm missing my Granville Island Market Family of fellow artists. Meeting up with some of them at the Harmony Arts Festival was like being back in the good old days! It was nice to catch up and see all their beautiful creations.

Above is one of my favorite morning coffee mugs from my friend Matthew.

just like my little Peanut!

September Birthstone

Blue Sapphire

The sapphire is the birthstone for the month of September. The name sapphire is derived from the Latin word ““saphirus” and the Greek word “sapheiros,” both meaning blue. Some believe that the name sapphire is derived from its association with the planet Saturn. The name can be roughly be translated to mean “dear to the planet Saturn” in many different languages.

The sapphire has for a long time, been identified with chastity, piety, and repentance. It brings wisdom and truth, increases perception and the understanding of justice. It helps find peace of mind and serenity and promotes a life of sincerity, helping preserve one’s innocence while learning life’s truths. Sapphires also are associated with romantic love, representing fidelity and romantic devotion. I it also used for a quest to increase one’s faith, hope and joy and to keep thoughts pure and heavenly.

Famous Sapphire

The Museum of Natural History in New York is home to the one of the most notorious sapphires in the world, the “Star of India” a sapphire of 563 carats!

From Chi's Bench ... Re-purposed Delights

Let me help you tell your stories!

I delight in giving new life to tired jewelry with my "re-purposed" designs.

Creating new expressions from family legacy pieces are so heart-warming

when I can be part of their journey ...

An engagement ring, family ring or necklaces - they all combine wonderful memories, bringing happiness to both me and everyone involved!

Madison's Sapphire Upgrade Ring

Mom wanted to make Madison a special ring that she can wear and cherish using these sapphires and diamonds from Mom and gold from Grandma's ring!

Repurposed into my large silver stacker with channel set sapphire baguette and pave diamonds on yellow gold.

Gwen's Legacy Transformed & Redesigned

Gwen had these old family treasures that were either missing this stone or that. She wanted to redesign them into a series of "Chi's" stacking rings to "Mix, Stack & Match"!

The sapphires and diamonds were transformed into a total of three rings - the very popular tri-blossom ring, a skinny sapphire ring and a diamond pave wave medium stacker!
