Volume 22 | NOVEMBER 2022
REMEMBERING THE GOOD 'OL DAYS!
One of my first outdoor shows in Nyack, New York ... Simple display and set up - I've come a long way since 1987!

Greetings!

It is COLD and WET out there, the best time to be in the studio and get ready for my November Shows ... Peanut is standing by for me to take him out for his walk, whenever the rain stops!

Hope everyone stays warm, dry and well ... See You Soon!
Fun at 2022 Vancouver Fashion Week
Thank you Kjaer of Kome Clothing for inviting me to take part in this special event.
It was an amazing experience to step out of the box to dress the models with my jewelry, which were inspired by your beautiful pieces!
A fun event to share with these talents at 2022 Vancouver Fashion Week.

November Birthstone
Citrine
Also known as ‘the Sun Stone’, Citrine gemstone derives its name from the Latin word ‘Citrina’ known for its pale yellow citrus color. Unlike Topaz which is available in shades of blue, green and purple, Citrine’s color chart is rather limited to shades of yellow, ranging between the golden to orangish scale.
Citrine is a yellow type of quartz; it attracts wealth, prosperity and success.
It imparts joy, wonder, delight and enthusiasm. Raises self-esteem and self-confidence, stimulates the brain, strengthening the intellect. Citrine promotes motivation, activates creativity and encourages self-expression.

Citrine’s Virtues
  * It gives us happiness    * It provides prosperity   * It induces generosity     
  * It provides protection   * It gives us strength   * It gives us stability
  * It gives us confidence    * It provides us with warmth
Joan Crawford's amazing citrine set from
M.S. Rau Antiques displayed
at NYC's Park Ave. Armory in October 2014
"A citrine necklace and bracelet set formerly in the collection of Joan Crawford garnered attention for its important provenance but also for the sheer size of the citrine stones in the suite. Crafted by renowned American jeweler Raymond Yard in 1940, the necklace features a citrine weighing a whopping 350 carats and its matching bracelet boasts a pair of citrines whose combined carat weight totals 130 carats."
M.S. Rau's asking price is $285,000.

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!
Lorna’s two family rings for her two boys and a diamond pendant just for fun!

Using the gold and stones from her original "family bracelets", now repurposed with some additional stones to create new wearable art rings to keep Lorna happy for many years!

Also a bit of bling for a special Wave diamond necklace for Lorna, because she can!
Repurposed Delights for Mary-Jo

When we started with Mary-Jo's repurposing project, we worked first in creating a new ring incorporating Mary-jo's traditional Chinese jade accent and diamonds. Then, what do we did we do with the extra diamonds and the pearl ring? We decided to transform them into a beautiful contemporary pearl and
diamond pendant!
