Welcome to Planet Earthy

As we get into cooler temperatures and damp breezes, nature is turning to its protective coverings between the occasional dart out for food or social time during splashes of sun.

We have our fuzzy light jackets and sweaters.

We have our teas.

We have our favourite comforts that only work when the outdoor pools are packed up for the season.

We hold hands and hug during walks now.

We rub arms and shoulders when we walk under the shade.

We notice all of the lovely subdued hues, and we try to be there at just the right time.

Sometimes patiently waiting.

Sometimes suddenly stopped or swept into a complete swirl of senses.

We are watching nature, and we are part of nature.

Nature is protecting and preparing us.

Today, we are enjoying lots of Roncy visitors who are talking long walks through the neighbourhood with friends and loved ones. Please drop by and check out our studio, it’s been warm friendly vibes all day!

The Pink That Pops, Rocks.

July 18, 2026July 18, 2026Jewel EnvyGeneral

Coming into the Big Blue House today was a very welcome difference to the dreariness of the weather. I wasn’t the only one, as we had lots of new vistors today, looking to be cheered and inspired by something beautiful.

As I dusted the bubble cases holding our gems, I pledged to bring attention to the brightest, cheeriest pieces which caught my eye and would do there best to turn our weather’s frown upside down.

Of course, it was, once again, Eunice’s beautiful pink expressions of joy and hope to stop the rain…

There’s nothing finer than work from a great designer!

Here’s a little something for your weekend visual enjoyment. Earrings by Caroline Deacon that make me really happy, and that will make you really happy too. That’s just the amazing effect that beautiful things have on people like us:)

textured studs, save at $65 a pair

attention to detail: handmade backs!!!!

drops with opal cabochons. a bit of a splurge at $275 for the pair,

but come one! these are just the best

SAVE OR SPLURGE Y’ALL!

July 8, 2017August 7, 2019Jewel EnvyGeneral

Happy weekend everyone! It’s a beautiful sunny day, so I hope you are out and about and enjoying yourself! If you feel like treating yourself to the sunshine and some jewellery, I have a few suggestions😊 It’s save vs splurge saturday of course, so you can treat yourself a little, or you can treat yourself a lot.

These amaaaaazing druzy rings are by Alexis Kostuk of Glaciale Goldsmith. Druzy is a fine coating of crystals on the surface of a gemstone – in this case it’s quartz druzy.

First up is this little gem. Simple and classic, but with some sweet detail around the stone to complement that sparkle. Sterling silver with quartz druzy, $125+hst.

And for the splurge – nobody will miss this bad boy on your hand! It’s a showstopper for sure, with one gorgeous freeform centre stone, and square accent stones on either side. Sterling silver with quartz druzy, $590+hst.

And here they are side by side. The big stone on the left photographed quite dark, but it is much lighter in person – you really must come in to take a look yourself!

Enjoy the sun, but don’t forget the spf! xx

Special Event Sunday

June 25, 2017August 7, 2019Jewel EnvyGeneral

Time is running out to purchase work of Ivane Thiebaut’s Canadiana series, June’s featured work on the recently added Jewel Envy online shop. As a recent newcomer to Canada, Ivane fully embraces her new home’s landscapes, icons and culture and draws on them for inspiration in her design and jewelry work. Each piece in her collection acts as a glimpse into her relationship with her surroundings and are easily relatable to all who have visited this beautiful country, or are lucky enough to call it home.

Image includes: Postcard Bracelet, Antler Necklace and Canoe Cufflinks.
Take a closer look under the “shop” page.

Ivane’s pieces are both timeless and fashionable, and perfect to commemorate Canada’s 150th aniversery.

JEWELLERY, NATURALLY

June 18, 2017August 7, 2019Jewel EnvyGeneral

Hi all! Hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather these days – it sure took its sweet time getting here! If you’re anything like me, then you love getting outdoors this time of year. Enjoying nature without the confines of parkas and mitts and hats and scarves (etc…) is just the best. There is so much beauty to be found once the snow melts!

There is also so much inspiration to be found in nature, especially for designers like us. These pieces are just a few examples of the jewellery that use nature as their muse, and of course they are all available here at the studio:)

Perfect little sterling fish, standing guard over an oceanic turquoise.

Pendant by Glaciale by Alexis Kostuk $250

Sweet little golden hummingbirds, with blue diamond eyes.

Stud earrings by Pash by Gillian Batcher $775

If leaves can’t be green, let them be silver and gold!

Gold-filled drop-chain earrings $90 and sterling pendant $75, both by Ivane Thiebaut

Wear nature on your sleeve (or your lapel, collar, etc…)

Sterling silver leaf brooches by Jerell Reichert, $180 each
