Handmade Revolution

In these difficult days, we all need to have the lion of courage inside our heart. Sterling silver lion rampant pendant for anyone who needs a little courage boost

Feast your eyes on this magnificent vintage Bvlgari ring. Set with blue iolite and green peridot in rich 18 karat gold. Currently a size 5 but can be sized up or down as needed. A really gorgeous piece.

I hate to admit it, but if you are hoping to support indie businesses this year, it is a good time to start thinking about holiday gifts. The sooner you order the better so I can get your pieces made and in the mail! (or arrange local, no contact pick up in Toronto) It's been a hard your for small businesses and we won't be doing the craft shows etc that we normally would. So support the ones you can, and spread the . Dainty, leaf stud earrings shown in sterling silver, also available plated gold or rose gold or in solid gold.

I am very excited to announce the launch of a new section of my website. I have partnered with a friend to bring you some exquisite vintage and estate rings. This project had help from a bunch of amazing people including @pearlzpokedex Sarah Tokar and @eabt001. I hope you'll take a browse through our new pieces on the website and let yourself be dazzled!

This was an especially cool project. The top is a signet ring design based on an early 15th century original, but with the initials of the client. He is a tailor so the shears are absolutely perfect. We used a side motif similar to a late 14th century ring and I enameled it red. A lot of medieval rings have deeply engraved sides that would have been enameled, but the enamel breaks out over time so they are left with just the original pattern on the sides. This ring was made using scrap gold from family heirloom rings the client already had which makes it even more special I think. Really a very satisfying project and it was commissioned just after lockdowm back in March so it's nice to have it finished and delivered.

I've been working on my black background photography, it's a new challenge and I've never had good enough camera gear to do it before now. This is a new 3 stone design, with more of a classic feel then my usual pieces. Fair trade teal sapphire from @sorbetsapphire with two created moissonites for some extra sparkle. Made in 10 k gold.

These are one if my earlier designs. They are based on an original medieval button from around the 14th century. The wavy 6 pointed star was a common motif in the medieval period but they also remind me of starfish. Here they are in 14k gold. Also available in sterling silver.

Throw back to this acorn torc I made last fall. It's plated brass, though it could also be made in sterling silver. I'm thinking I will give it a try in rose gold plate for a more autumnal feel. Thanks for the photo help from @syndicate888

I dont think I ever posted a still of this custom engagement ring I made in the spring. Central diamond and 14k gold.

This time it's a teal tourmaline set in rose gold plated silver. I never get tired of the iterations of tourmaline. It's such a spectacular gem. This design works well as an engagement ring, or every day ring. It's really a lot of fun. It's called the Vasilisa ring on my website.

Embossed black leather medieval belt. Who thinks I should do a video on wearing a medieval belt?

@christian_cameron_author , one of my favorite authors posted this gorgeous bronze age spear head the other day and I think I have got to make earrings inspired by the shape. Who's with me?

Medieval reproduction annular or ring brooch in brass. This brooch is different from the penannular brooch which is open at the bottom. Check out my stories to see how it works.

Blue sky turquoise with some autumn hops. This is my moon phase ring that I also do with lapis, moonstone and amethyst cabochons. A very wearable ring. Link in comments.

Another autumnal shoot. 14 karat Rose gold wedding ring with a braided texture. This one nestles with an existing engagement ring for a comfy fit. 14k gold is very durable and lustrous.

Blue skies and autumn leaves. Fall is one of the most beautiful seasons in Canada. I do love this time of year, even though it's tempered with sadness as we turn towards winter. Silver leaf ring with bright blue topaz. Available with other gems as well, and in gold for a beautiful engagement or every day ring.

Rose gold and yellow gold make a very elegant combination for this wedding band. I like the way the autumnal hops bring out the colors .

Central sapphire with trillion citrines. Set in 10 k yellow gold. This ring was challenging to put together but it was all worth it in the end. Sometimes the biggest challenges offer the most satisfying results. .

A line custom skirt with matching mask because why the heck not. The fabric is a lovely light weight cotton. This is in it's way to California as we speak.

Spent that few days living my best life in Algonquin park with @tiw_fold_path We're working on an 1890's vibe. Just getting started but the clothes seem camping optimized. Chris made his fancy suspenders. I made my clothes but I'm still experimenting.

Just a couple of medieval belts doing there thang. 3/4 inches hand dyed with brass fittings based on originals found in the Thames.
