Here are a few of the things I’ve been working on in the last month. These seven went to Eclectic Gallery in Oak Bay.

A friend recently gave me a string of hematite to use in a new design for her. Here is the happy result:
Combined the hematite beads with some gold-coloured pearls. The necklace has a front-closure gold-fill toggle clasp and I reused the 18K clasp from the original piece in the bracelet. I’m really pleased with this colour combo.
The necklace much nicer around her neck than here; I think I got the length perfect.
I’m very excited that Eclectic Gallery, a lovely gallery on Oak Bay Avenue, is now carrying some of my necklaces and bracelets.

Some gift boxes and tags for the pieces at Eclectic.
One of 11 necklaces now available at Eclectic. They have many jewellery artisans represented.
This is another piece I’m fond of; fun summery colours with cheeky brass bells.
I was please they took this piece, one of my favourite recent designs.
I’ve been wanting to create better, more interesting shots of my jewellery. Here are a couple attempts of two new pieces.

These two new pieces began as a commission for my sister. She sent me the most gorgeous red pearls and asked me to make something from them. I really enjoyed this one, so I made two. She loved them so much, she took both and gave one away as a birthday gift.

We have just set up a new online shop through Big Cartel. We’ll be selling my jewellery and paintings; prints and postcards of GJ’s drawings and perhaps some originals; some collaborative pieces. There aren’t many items in the shop yet, but we’ll be adding a lot more over the next few days and weeks. Here’s what’s there now:
