Science meets jewellery

September 28, 2024October 22, 2024Jewel EnvyGeneral

My sister is a scientist! A lot of the time when talking to her about science things, I get confused and don’t know what she is talking about but I listen! This inspired me to write this post. Robin Cassady-Cain from House of Cassady is a goldsmith at Jewel Envy. A lot of her jewellery is inspired by science specifically immunology.

Immunology: Immunology is the branch of science dealing with the components of the immune system, immunity from disease, the immune response, and immunologic techniques of analysis¹

Robin starts off her designs with sketch ideas for inspiration.

Here is some of her work:

You can find some of her science inspired jewellery on her website at www.houseofcassady.ca , in store at jewel envy, DM through instagram https://www.instagram.com/hocassady_jewellery_and_kilts/ .

She also does custom orders too! Below is an science inspired star sapphire and lab grown diamond ring designed and made by her!

Have a great day!

It’s the Polish Festival!

It must be September, because there is music (weirdly no polka yet that I’ve heard, but it’s early), and Roncevalles is closed to cars between Howard Park Ave and Queen. That’s right, it’s the Polish Festival! We are still open at the Blue House, so if you’re wandering this way, stop in and say hi! (And see some fun jewellery!). And we have a new windows display on our Roncesvalles side for your viewing pleasure!

Snapped a quick pic of the polka stage! There are so many tents set up on Roncevalles!

New window display of Frekkeldesigns Love Bubble Collection – must see in person to properly appreciate them!

Here’s a bit of a closer picture of some of Jen’s Love Bubbles that you can see in the studio!

Enjoy the lovely September weather we’re having and hope to see you soon!

-Robin.

Big Blue Renovation

September 8, 2024September 8, 2024Jewel EnvyGeneral

Jewel Envy started with partnerships and cooperation. The family and collective has grown, so too does our studio space. In our continued tradition of “all hands on deck”, Gillian’s troops are working hard to prepare the space for more equipment, more expertise, and more possibilities. We’re almost there!
