It’s Sunday. You’re a man. Look at some cufflinks why dont’cha?!

Ok, so maybe you’re not a man. But I’m willing to bet that you know a man… possibly a man who wears cufflinks. So here are some cufflinks for you to look at and admire. They are wonderful aren’t they! Luckily for you they are all available here at Jewel Envy. Come down for a closer look if you like, we’re open today until 6pm and then again on Tuesday 10 am to 6pm.

Top: Only for the studs! (Jewelust by Amanda Henderson)

Middle: Did you think it was a ring? Fooled you! It is actually a pair of very manly cufflinks.

Bottom: Lovely windmill symmetry (Hyewon Jang/H Jewellery)

All four of these lovely cufflinks are PASH Jewellery Design by Gillian Batcher. Which are your favourite? I love the horses – the eyes are jewels of course.

And finally these four are Archerade by Sasha Oda. The ones on the bottom right are my favourite. They are called The Stephen, named after a great friend’s husband.

Quite a variety of Very Manly Cufflinks to choose from. And if you don’t see exactly what you like, we offer custom design services as well. Something for every-manly-one!

Enjoy your Manly Sunday!!! xx

As you know, we had a fashion photoshoot here at the studio earlier this week. It inspired us to have our own fun photoshoot! Since Gillian had her hair and makeup professionally done for the magazine photos, she posed as our model for many pictures. Here she is wearing studded jewellery by Amanda Henderson.

Class it up!

Happy Saturday errbody!!

It is a beautiful day… to shop for jewellery! Jeez what a great idea. But here’s another thought for the adventurous: what if you could make an amazing piece of jewellery yourself?? We here at Jewel Envy love to make things for you with our creativity and our skilled/scarred hands, but we also love to show you how to do it yourselves.

I have taught a variety of classes recently, and each and every one was so rewarding. You don’t need to have any experience, just enthusiasm and a love for beautiful, shiny things.

New Class!

Upcoming Saturday August 10th, 2013 we will be offering for the first time our Name Plate One Day Class.
Sign up today to design and learn how to hand pierce with a jeweller’s saw a name plate which you can wear on a necklace or bracelet. Make one with your own or a special someone’s name or initials or maybe even just a random word!

I just found the coolest architectural ring on Pinterest. Check it out here. I especially love the small aquamarine that represents the swimming pool. While you’re there, follow us too!

CASTAWAY

July 20, 2013August 7, 2019Jewel EnvyGeneral

Good afternoon y’all. Now that the humidity has calmed down a bit, we can stop wiping our sweaty brows and concentrate on what’s really important – CASTING!!!! Next Saturday is the first day of a 2-day introductory casting workshop, and there is still space if you’re interested in joining us.

So come on down, and learn all about lost wax casting. You will leave feeling creatively rejuvenated, with a pretty new piece of jewellery to show off.

Here are some images of pieces that I have carved and cast:

If you can’t make it for this particular class never fear, we have a lot of different workshops coming up. Check out our website (www.jewelenvy.ca) for more detailed class and registration information. Or you can call us, or you can visit us, or you can… you get the idea. Hope to see you soon!

ENAMEL WORKSHOP

July 20, 2013August 7, 2019Jewel EnvyGeneral

Hello all! I am a little late posting, as this class happened last weekend. But better late than never, as I always say. I suppose you could argue better on time than late, but I never say that 🙂

Anyhow last weekend there was a one-day enameling workshop, and it was fantastic!

Here are some shots of the students in action

All in all it was a great day. Enamel is a great way to add colour and depth to any piece, and it is not an overly difficult skill to learn. If you are interested, come join us for another enamel workshop!

New show Reign. New jewels.

July 13, 2013August 7, 2019Jewel EnvyGeneral

Here at Jewel Envy, we are currently making jewellery for a t.v. show that is about to begin filming, Reign. We aren’t allowed to show any pictures until the show premieres this fall, but we can tell you about it. The story follows Mary, Queen of Scots’ rise to power- sounds interesting, doesn’t it?! We are making all kinds of jewellery, from necklaces to rosaries to rings, and even wax seal stamps. Needless to say, it has inspired new jewellery ideas! Stayed tuned for updates!

Read about the show and watch a trailer here.

Trades of a Different Colour

I’m subscribed to many channels on YouTube. Some of them are silly, some of them are informative. One channel I’m subscribed to, Soulpancake, keeps posting videos about subcultures. They’re not always about craft but this one was about woodworking. I can definitely appreciate the hand work that goes into these pieces.
