Volume 16 | APRIL 2022

Greetings!


According to the calendar, we’ve officially made it through winter and into spring! From here on out, the days will start getting longer, the grass will start getting greener — and you can be sure that garden centres will start to get a lot busier and full of the beautiful flowers and greenery.

April is a month of rebirth
and new beginnings!

Exciting news, after two years away from the Granville Island Public Market, I hope to be back this May... I'm counting down!


Can't wait to see you all in Granville Public
Market beginning in May 2022
Fingers Crossed!

For me,
Jewelry is a way
of keeping
loving memories
alive
Love seeing the new Spring blooms and Cherry Blossoms all around town
Happy Spring & a scrumptious weekend roast sharing with family and friends.

APRIL Birthstone

Diamonds

"A diamond is a chunk of coal that is made good under pressure.”
– Henry Kissinger

Happy Birthday to those who are lucky enough to be born in April! If it is you, your birthstone is the diamond. Diamonds symbolize so much: beauty, strength, resilience, purity, and a whole lot of sparkle. Read on to learn more. 

A Symbol Of Innocence…Though diamonds are revered among mineral stones for their superior strength and durability... they also are associated with innocence. The diamond’s super-hard structure makes it virtually incorruptible. Its dual strength and purity make it the perfect adornment when worn as jewelry. 

Natural vs Lab-Grown Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds are created using advanced technology, which replicate the natural method of diamond formation under extreme pressure over millions of years. The result is that lab-grown diamonds have the same physical characteristics and properties as natural ones, both in strength of material and sparkle.

From Chi's Bench ...  Repurposed 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!
KP Loves Her New Updated Diamond Solitaire and Wedding Band

Less is more as many of you will agree! Especially when one possesses a beautiful diamond and we can minimally modernize the design with background accents of white & yellow gold.

KP and her husband really cherish her old ring which have survived the many years of their marriage. The updated design promises endurance for many more years to come!
Lisa and her Updated Solitaire Ring


Lisa and her husband loves the design of her original Engagement ring. But after all these years, the ring shank was beginning to wear out. So, I mounted her original ring on top of a square ring. Maintaining its original design essence and making it wearable for many more more years.
