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.

Thank You Vancouver, Hello Halifax!

The CircleCraft Market in downtown Vancouver was once again a wonderful show this year, with tens of thousands of visitors. The quality of work represented there is simply outstanding – I have a tough time every year, trying not to surpass my luggage allowance. This year, I chose a piece by Margaret Forbes from Mountain Path Pottery bring home.

Thanks for all the love and appreciation I received from the Vancouver public – your positive words meant a lot! Many people had been eyeing my work for years, and finally took the plunge to buy a piece, which was delightful. It’s nice to start to be recognized “Oh, these are those rings!”

It was a busy market!

christmascraftshowI am back in my studio in Halifax, busily preparing for the next show, put on by the Nova Scotia Designer Crafts Council. This coming weekend, the Designer Craft Show will once again be held at the Cunard Centre at Halifax’s Pier 23 (next to the Cruise Ship docks).  I hope to see many of you there!
