There is just something about a matching set.

Whether you are gifted matching earrings and a necklace, or you slowly put together a collection from a favourite artist, it’s just nice to accent an outfit or an event with pieces that go together.

At Jewel Envy, we have lines to mix and match, ready to go, or we can sit down with you and design the perfect arrangement of jewels to mark a special event.

I love blue! One of our members- Shafiq Sarwari-cuts and polishes his own lapis lazuli, and then sets it in lovely forms of jewellery. (As well as making other things, of course!). He currently has some stunning pieces that really make a statement, here for your viewing pleasure!

Trio of rings in sterling silver. I admit it, the flower is my favourite!

Two amazing necklaces, with slightly different looks, but I guarantee you’d get comments on them, if you were wearing them!

Best seen in person, if you’re in the area, wander into the blue house and have a look at the other pieces available- whether you’re looking to make a statement, or something fabulous for everyday!

Enjoy your Saturday!

No matter what type of art you love, we hope that you’ve had a healthy dose this weekend. For us, it’s been all about this year’s Toronto Outdoor Art Fair, especially with the appearance of fellow jewellers and our members like Alexis Kostiuk and Robin Cassady-Cain. Love Toronto Art!

Wow, so I think the sunny weather at least, is definitely here. It’s another sunny Saturday, and I’m inside (but this time I’m telling you about something outside!!).

As you may have noticed, things are starting to return to “normal” (whatever that is!), including in-person art and craft shows. This time next week, I’ll be sitting in my booth at the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair in Nathan Phillips square (Booth 292), along with my colleague Alexis Kostuk (Booth 229).

We’re always working on new and exciting work in the studio, but I always like to have a couple of new things that debut when I’m doing an exhibition or show, so I thought I’d share a few of them with you today :).

Sterling silver patterned Vessels and Cells triple necklace with seed pearls– hot off the bench, this is the next in a series of work with these units.

These sterling silver M pendants are super colourful with their torch fired enamels!

This sterling silver necklace is derived from my larger Defense of Life necklace, and has 3 blue topaz for that extra sparkle!

I’d love to see you, and answer all your questions about my work and inspiration (or, you know, you can read a bit more here). And don’t worry, if you can’t make the Toronto Outdoor, some of it will make an appearance in the studio bubbles after the show!

Enjoy your weekend!
