All jewellery is handmade and shipped from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and therefore is exempt from tariffs for USA customers under CUSMA, the free-trade agreement. I always ship with a certificate of origin for customs.

Got it!

*Caveat on using the term “recycled gold”:

While I am very careful to source my precious metals only from SCS® certified suppliers (SCS® stands for Supply Chain Sustainability; they are the global leader in the field of sustainability standards and third-party certification). Most of my precious metals suppliers are also members of the Responsible Jewellery Council. However, I want to point out that ‘recycling gold' is not what is commonly understood by the term.

True recycling avoids things ending up in landfills. Gold, of course, wouldn’t.

Instead, gold is simply melted, refined and repurposed.

Although SCS® certified refineries must maintain auditable records of their suppliers, there are loopholes globally which make it very easy for gold from unregulated and/or illegal sources to enter their supply chain.

This makes even 'certified recycled' gold untraceable.

Ottawa Trunk Show Saturday Aug10 2-4pm!

Share on:

I found myself on a mad rush in the studio this past weekend, when it became apparent that I was going to be taking a surprise trip to Ottawa this week. I quickly connected with my representing gallery there, L.A. Pai, to see if they’d be up for doing a trunk show next weekend, and when they said ‘sure!’, I got into gear in the studio.

You may think ‘poor thing, had to work on this gorgeous sunny weekend’, but let me tell you: I found myself ecstatic with being able to do nothing but make jewellery for two full days. I love making jewellery! The business of being a goldsmith requires many other roles from me on a daily basis: bookkeeping, e-mailing, shipping, dealing with suppliers, et cetera. To be able to do nothing but make jewellery was a real treat.
