Recycling can also be done with old jewellery. If you have jewellery that you use to love but don’t love it as much now, we can help!

Having started in Montreal in my family Jewellery Wholesale and Manufacturing business in my teens, I was involved in all levels of the Jewellery Trade in my career. I acted as a Sales Manager in all three levels –Manufacturing –Wholesale- Retail. I served in Appraising for taking in Consignments for Antique Jewellery dealers, and Retailers, As a Head Buyer for several Jewellery outfits in Vancouver, I made offers to purchase from the public. My career extends to Montreal, New York, and Paris. I wanted to become an expert since I was hands-on with Diamonds and Gemstones, so in the 80s, I studied at the Gemological Institute of America in New York City. I am a GIA Graduate Gemologist.
My passions include being in contact with objects that tie us to the past and to the history that came with these objects. It is also to create Jewellery for you. Many of my designs will have a Vintage feel to them, others will be completely unique like the person you may be. In order to design something that you will love to have, I take the time to get to know you and find out about your lifestyle, so that the jewellery you will wear will be an extension of your personality.
I specialized in Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands in the past, but I will create any piece you have in mind, and as conservative or as wild as you are…
My interest in Vintage Collectibles dates back to my late teen when I started collecting Art Glass and Antique Jeweller- mostly because of the beauty of the workmanship. I love to browse and participate in all kinds of flea markets, garage sales etc. finding treasures amongst junk is always exciting and here I have sifted carefully the treasures from the junk so you won’t have to.
