My Interview With Gem Breakfast

I am so excitetd about this one! I was recently interviewd by the oh so lovely Courtney MacDougall for Gem Breakfast and their ‘Meet the Maker’ series, and for anyone not familiar with GB they are a super awesome jewellery company based in San Fransisco and headed up by the one and only Catherine Cason! Their focus is solely on one-of-a-kind rings made with amazing materials and handmade by talented custom jewellery makers, mostly women;)

This extra-sparkly diamond alternative is a lab-grown, eco-conscious and increasingly popular choice that is tough and hard, making it excellent choice for everyday wear. I know it might seem like Moissanite has come out of nowhere, it's just that it's finally been perfected to rival that of a DEF colour diamond.

First and foremost treat your jewellery with care! Caring properly for your jewellery will keep it looking great and lasting a long time. As a rule, everything else should go on before your jewellery. Creams, make-up, hairspray, perfume and the like have chemicals that can leave a film on the jewellery as well as cause harm to the metals and gemstones that your jewellery is made with.

Now it gets exciting! If you are thinking that the time has come to create a custom engagement ring then I can surely help make it a reality for you. I am very good at my job and my job is telling your story though my jewellery.

It's the answer I give to a question I get every once in a while. I got en e-mail form a client recently in a slight panic after he saw some scratches and nicks on his brand spankin' new wedding ring.

Hanging with Pablo & Mike sorting through my stash of Rough Diamonds for their custom wedding rings! What makes my rough diamond ring so special is that the clients get to choose their own rough diamond, THE ONE that looks and feels right for their ring.

Hi Everyone, thanks for coming along on this journey with me! I really just wanted to share with you some of the awesomeness that crosses my path as goldsmith, jewellery designer, nature-lover and mom.
