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.

WestVancouver – here I come!

Share on:

I have just returned from my annual meditation retreat in the gorgeous Nova Scotia countryside. Thus I am refreshed and renewed to pack my bags and head across the country for the annual Harmony Arts Festival.

Our ten-day retreat at Dorje Denma Ling was magical

I have been to this delightful festivals on the shores in West Vancouver several times, and always enjoy it tremendously. The setting of Ambleside Park is gorgeous, with a clear view of the Lion’s Gate bridge, Stanley Park, and Vancouver city across the water. There is live music on several stages all day long, and the offerings of the food vendors are always delicious. Not to mention the amazing artisans which I find myself amongst: the best art and fine craft from across the country can be found at Harmony Arts Festival – it is always an honour to be amongst them. 

I have been playing with new stones for my Onefooter rings; come early for the best selection!

Newest Onefooters include some delightful fancy shapes

The festival runs two weekends;  I am considering taking a break next year, so come on out to see me this year! The hours are as follows:

First Weekend

  • Friday, August 4 2–9 p.m.
  • Saturday, August 5 11 a.m.–9 p.m.
  • Sunday, August 6 11 a.m.–9 p.m.

  • Friday, August 11 2 –9 p.m.
  • Saturday, August 12 11 a.m.–9 p.m.
