Oh hey guys! It’s been a while! How’s everybody been doing? Jk, I know, nobody is good and everything is terrifying. So I’ve retreated from this corner of Instagram a little bit. I’ve still been here - still creating custom pieces, still posting the occasional selfie with my son on my other account, but the past few months it hasn’t felt authentic to be here posting photos of gold and diamonds and acting all glossy. Because, honestly, nothing feels glossy anymore. But ...I’ve also had the absolute honour of creating ceremonial pieces for some of the most enchanting souls I’ve ever met during this wild year. I’ve seen love stories that would bring you to your knees. So I’m going to do my best to be back, at least more often than I have been, to bring a little sparkle back to my corner of this place and get back to speaking up here again instead of just on that other page where by two and a half year old reigns supreme.

I’ve been radio silent on this page for the past 2 weeks. Not because I haven’t been present in the digital space and engaging in the same narrative of change as all of you, but rather because as business naturally slowed due to the other pandemic humanity is faced with right now, my attention unintentionally shifted to my lifestyle page (@lifeoflaceyjanette). My eyes have been opened as I’ve consciously engaged in peeling back the layers of my own privilege and implicit b...ias. Like many of you, I’m sure, I’ve walked through my life believing that simply being a loving and progressive person, with a smattering of activist tendencies was enough. I truly believed in my privileged complacency that as long as I loved every human being as deeply as I do, that was plenty because I wasn’t making the problem worse. But this week I’ve learned the difference between not racist and anti-racist and I see how damn lazy that it’s fine, because I genuinely love everyone mentality was. So I’ve been spending my days turning inward, digging into my own unconscious bias and pushing myself hard to wake the hell up. I’ve made this great unlearning my full time job so that I can show up as an actively anti-racist human, mother, partner, friend, woman and business owner. All this to say that I will be slowly moving forward back into this business space - returning to creating beautiful things for you. But I will continue to actively engage in this dramatic learning curve - taking in all of the resources we are SO privileged to have access to in this digital space and in the forms of books, podcasts, film and simply human conversation. And I will be better at sharing resources that have challenged my status quo here rather than just in my lifestyle account. Honestly, I know that upon reflection I should have been sharing my learning and using my voice on this account too, but in the moment it hasn’t felt authentic to stretch my voice between two, since my voice is still my voice whether sharing jewelry or beach photos of my baby. But consider this a course correction to be better about using my voice to amplify what’s truly important and contribute to real, t See more
