New Studs
Spring Moods
Spring is in the air
Which means it’s a perfect time for nature themed jewellery. Aurora Simmons of Handmade Revolution has a wonderful selection of nature themed pieces like the studd earrings and tourmaline cabochon ring shown in this image. Stud earrings are perfect for every day wear to add a little something to every outfit and make a day feel special. Come visit us in store to see her work in person.
Best Art Jewellery Store in Toronto? (yes, that’s us!)
I don’t know if you caught our studio reel yesterday, but Gillian, the studio owner (organiser? one-woman motivating band?) announced that the shop has won an award for 2021/2022: Best Art Jewellery Store-Toronto.
As you may know, we really strive to build relationships with our community. As a group of goldsmiths, we bring an eclectic aesthetic to the retail area of the studio, as well as high standard of quality. With our dedication to our own unique work, our commitment to helping clients realise their own vision for custom pieces, and our never-tiring pursuit of renewing and repairing your jewellery that you just want to keep on loving, it’s really nice when that dedication is recognised.
Here it is, in it’s new home at the studio!
Of course, it wouldn’t be possible without the support of our community- clients, students and my fellow goldsmiths, so thank you all for helping to contribute to our success, we really do appreciate it, and, as always, we hope to see you around the studio soon.
Enjoy the sunny Saturday!

Beautiful Bead Settings!
Bead setting is a versatile style of setting which can be applied as an accent to a centre stone, or be the star of the show in its own right!

If you have old jewellery lying around, now is the perfect time to make it into something new!
Do you have some heirloom jewellery lying around in a box that perhaps has emotional significance but isn’t really your style? At Jewel Envy we can make your old pieces new again! If you have a piece with precious metal such as gold, we can use that to make something fresh for you, or if you have precious stones, we can use them to create a whole new design. Something you will want to wear all the time and will still bring back the fond memories attached to the piece. You might be surprised how many fun new things can be done with old pieces, so don’t leave them to languish in the box, bring them in so we can help you get inspired! Below you can see a unique pendant made from a quartz, provided by the client created by Aurora Simmons of Handmade Revolution.
It’s a blue day!
Okay, actually, it’s sort of a snowy day, but white has blue in it too :). Blue is my favourite colour, and it fits my mood this week, so here’s a curated collection of blue from the studio (all available for sale!).
Left, moving in a circle: Blue lapis rings (round and diamond) by Shafiq’s Jewelry, Blue acrylic flower earrings (with sterling hooks) by Edna Milevsky, Blue sapphire/sterling leaf ring by Handmade Revolution, Lapis bead T-bar pendant with needled felt by House of Cassady, Blue topaz flower bracelet by Frekkel Designs, Lapis seashell wrap ring by Glaciale Goldsmith.
Enjoy your Saturday, whatever you’re doing, and hope to see you soon!

Getting The Bands Back Together
A common theme for the studio in March is the march towards bridal adornment. One of the major players in that is the commitment band.
Whether you intend to have matching rings with your beloved, or individual expressions, plain, blinged-out, or signature styles, we can make your perfect expression of love and devotion.
Send your questions to info@jewelenvy.ca or drop by Tues-Sun to start playing with ideas.
