My name is Darija Radic and I am the newest member of Jewel Envy. 
I enjoy giving old jewellery a new life, my inspiration comes from earthy tones textures and shapes. Currently I am working on a new line to display in the shop, the jewellery will consist of up-cycling bullet casings and will be a bit different from my usual earthy feel. I can’t wait to display my new work but here’s a piece to look at for now. This piece has been up-cycled from a necklace that had oval beads along the chain. 
Thanks! 🙂

Today it is a sweaty -7C here in Toronto, Ont. Down to the negative single digits? I think that’s a pretty good sign! I took a little tour around the show room today and picked out a few pieces that were also giving me some hope.

Do you guys have Spring break planned yet? I noticed they’re starting to stock beach wear in some of the clothing stores. Hang in there!

feel there is never enough gift ideas to share when it comes to
choosing for someone special…

Ok friends, it’s your girl Lauren here. I feel I need to apologize for this weather. Once every month I pick a day to take care of this lovely studio here at Jewel Envy and pretty much every time I do disastrous weather ensues! It’s like the Hanham family camping curse: torrential downpour, without fail. On the bright side, it’s finally February and you know what that means! No, not two more months til spring. No, not Valentine’s day in two weeks. No, not…ok those are actually both true and very important but guess what else happens in two weeks?

I can’t even handle it. Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright rule the small screen in this adaptation of the BBC drama by the same name. If you haven’t met Frank and Claire Underwood, you should. On tv though, not in real life. They’re scarey good at manipulating those around them to get what they want. In this case for Frank, it’s the US presidency. If you haven’t seen the show, long story very short Francis “Frank” Underwood gets passed up for the position of Secretary of State and he is NONE too pleased about it.
So if Valentine’s day ain’t your thing, you’ve got something else to look forward to and you have 2 weeks to catch up on season 1 if you haven’t already seen it. I highly recommend it, just look up trailers on YouTube and you’ll be intrigued. Plus, I’ve got just the jewellery for the occasion:

So whatever you plan on doing this February 14th, we can find a piece of jewellery to suit your needs.
