Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Ever since I can remember I have been impassioned by art, fashion, jewelry design & semi precious stones. Four years ago I decided to pursue my life long dream: to marry my passions into a sustainable business. This past year my designs officially launched as the “Feature Fashion Story” which aired 3 times on “Entertainment Spotlight” CTV/CFCF 12. My journey into jewelry design started with 3 years of Silver Smithing courses at the Visual Arts Center in Montreal. Via word of mouth and shows held throughout Canada I have successfully built a loyal client following. Realizing that my “hobby” had potentiality I traveled to Australia and Thailand broadening my knowledge in unique ethnic design. This trip became the defining moment in my career as a jewelry designer. I was enthralled and hugely inspired by antique silver pieces and eclectic stones from all over the world: Thailand, Afghanistan, India & China to name a few. Each of my creations is an exclusive design with it’s own name and unique story about it's source of inspiration, be it a trip, a person, a moment, a life event etc. Should you be interested in more info pls email me...ps I also do remakes thanks!!

"ODYSSEY"
$525.00 CDN

I created "Odyssey" using Grade A Labradorite semi precious stones and Hill Tribe Silver purchsed during my recent trip to Thailand. I spent a month this past year in Thailand travelling in search of semi precious beads and Hill Tribe Silver to use in my exclusive,

ccchoices, One of a Kind Creations.

Thailand proved to be an incredible experience not only from a purchasing perspective but also from a creative, inspirational and spiritual one. I first travelled to Bangkok where I purchased most of my semi precious beads in intense heat and humidity!!! I then journeyed north to Chiang Mai where I treked throught the Phu Ping Mountains visiting with the Hill Tribe peoples from whom I purchased hand crafted 9.25 silver pendants, beads and clasps. My journey proved to be eternally life altering and life affirming. You will see that my latest designs and creations are influenced by my overwhelming love, admiration and deep respect for Thailand, its' peoples, their culture and it's unparalleled beauty. Although Thailand had just been ravaged, months before, by a horrific natural disaster, the Sunami I never once saw nor felt despondance nor negativity amongst the Thai people in this remarkable third world country.....only hope, belief and a tremendously endearing love of family and life. A great life lesson for those of us that have!

"Odyssey" components:

LABRADORITE: Gem healers claim it elevates the wearer's consciousness and connection with the energies of the universe. Labradorite is used for is courage, clarity, and co-dependency to name a few. Some like to use this stone to heal mental confusion and indecision, it allows one to make decisions easily. This stone is also about transformation on all levels, it allows for easy changes to take place, especially good for those who fear change. It also allows for us to understand ourselves on a deeper level, lets us know who we really are in a bold and distinct way. Labradorite allows clarity to come into our lives, not only when we need it, but at all times of our lives. It is a solar plexus stone. Labradorite builds and strengthens the immune system. This is a very important stone to have in your healing kit.

SILVER: Invocation, love, psychism, dreams, peace, protection, travel, money.
Silver is the moon's metal. Because it is found in its pure form, it was one of the first metals to be used by humans. The metal's beauty and scarcity caused it to be fashioned into divine images and offering pieces.
