Pride Jewellery (In the Name of Love)
Before I get to the nub of this post, Pride Jewellery, I want to tell you a little about the main event here in Vancouver this weekend. It’s hot and sunny in Vancouver as I write, isn’t it always like that around Pride (in the name of love) week? Vancouver’s Pride Parade is the 5th largest in the […]

WedLuxe and Weddingbells
When I was planning my wedding I bought a number of bridal magazines and was very impressed with two Canadian magazines: WedLuxe and Weddingbells and I am delighted to advertise in the upcoming editions of these beautiful publications. The beauty of these magazines is in their exquisite photography, superb ideas and 6 month long shelf […]
Canadian diamond
I recently assisted a lovely young man from half way around the world with a purchase of Canadian diamonds. I enjoy helping people and I always take great pleasure in sharing my knowledge of Canadian diamonds and their guarantee of origin. It’s a colossal process tracking rough diamonds through to polished diamonds and keeping standards up along the way, thankfully there are […]
Unique or ubiquitous?
Walking around the city at lunch time today I took note of whether most people I saw were unique or ubiquitous. As a woman who likes to march to the beat of her own drum I found it a little sad that my question unique or ubiquitous was overwhelmingly answered by the latter. The standard west coast, wet weather wear […]
Life and love
Spring is in the air, nature’s circle of life and love continues! “In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” Lord Alfred Tennyson wrote those words in 1835 in a poem about a soldier passing by the place where he spent his childhood. In reading the words of the poem, it still rings […]
Snowflake and diamond
What’s the similarity between a snowflake and diamond? Snowflakes and diamonds have the same unique attributes, no two are alike. Many years ago when I was on a skiing trip, snowflakes landed on my jacket and they were so perfectly formed in their shapes, they were just like the paper doily cutouts that we used to […]
Istanbul Inspiration
I admit, I’m a little later than normal with my post this month but I’ve been travelling and seeking inspiration in an exotic foreign land. When I was younger, so much younger than today… (showing my age there!) I saw a movie called Topkapi. I don’t really remember all that much about it but it […]
Engagement Ring Survey Says…
The wedding publication ‘The Knot’ conducts an annual survey about engagement ring shopping and as I am curious type I have done a bit of my own research to corroborate their findings. I have been speaking with lots of great young men (and not so young!) about what’s important to them when shopping for their […]
