Melting local beeswax from the Farmer’s Market is the first step in preparing for making FLOW rings, which are always cast in the most ethically sourced Fairmined gold.

Beeswax from @blue.hive.bees purchased locally at @hfxbrewerymarket
This wax will be mixed with pine resin, then shaped in a meditative process, and finally cast in @fairminedofficial gold, an initiative of the Alliance for Responsible Mining @arm_global
This organization makes sure that artisanal miners and their communities are treated and compensated fairly. This supports communities and prevents dangerous activities and harm, respecting the environment and people.

I love how this process towards those ethical 18k gold rings flows from the beginnings of this golden local beeswax 🐝 🤩

Oh the Portuguese pine resin used to create the waxes for my FLOW Series is just sooooo yummy, especially in the sunshine.

You should smell the studio when I melt it with beeswax to make the ancient Japanese recipe that creates those incredible textures - smells amazing!

If you are in Vancouver or Calgary, come to @artmarketcraftsale and @circlecraftmarket to see those textures in person, cast in 18k Fairmined ECO gold. Yum!

While I prefer to source the best and most ethical diamonds for you, sometimes an heirloom is so meaningful that it needs to live in a new piece.

💎 Or an annoyingly tall engagement diamond needs to be re-set so it’s comfortable and easy to wear.

💎 Or a diamond needs to move to the right hand. Fire purifies 🔥

Whichever the case, I call that a ReBirth ring.

Here is the journey of one such ring.

Wedding season is just about over. The rings seem like such a small part on that big day, but they are what remains for the rest of your lives together.

After the guests and flowers are gone, your rings remain as a symbol of your love and commitment to each other.

✨I am honoured to hand craft such meaningful pieces! ...

If you are going to a wedding this weekend, make sure to check out the wedding rings.
It will never cease to amaze me how such small items can carry such huge meaning.

I make wedding bands in different widths and in 18k yellow or palladium white gold. They are always hand-textured, and the edges defined.

This engagement ring has a gloriously red spinel. I call my engagement rings ‘celebration’ … because that’s their function: to celebrate love.

Anatomy of a Ring, or I could call it the ingredient list: the basics for making a diamond ring.

This one is a 18k palladium white gold OneFooter ring with yellow gold bezel. What a fun custom project!
