I create tokens of positive living. What does that mean? Years ago I started making jewellery. I took classes taught by local artisans and jeweller’s, and for a while I had little confidence in what I was doing. Over time it evolved into something much more than a hobby, I needed it, but not just as a creative outlet. Every time I wore a finished piece it reminded me “you can do this, you can do whatever you put your mind to“. Even now when I wear my work it reminds me “yes you can!” It encourages me to continue, it reminds me not to be apprehensive about trying new things. These pieces ended up being tokens of thinking positive for me, I didn’t even realize it at the time.

This revelation, that I’ve been creating tokens of positive living, has become my guide, my purpose. Through this process I’ve grown more confident and more courageous. Now I’m compelled to share my work and my passions. To put a smile on your face with talismans that will lift your spirits (like they lifted mine). My hope is that they’ll be whatever you need them to be: stylish accessories, points of inspiration, or affirmations. We treasure jewellery for its beauty, for the beauty it imparts on us, and for its sentimental significance. Jewellery is meant to remind us of something good, whatever that may be.

Use these pieces to delight day-to-day, celebrate a special day, or revel in an achievement (past or present). The work that I create is an expression of my desire to let you know that you are worthy of love and belonging, you are worthy of happiness and success.

These tokens are intended to remind you of the positive things in your life, whether it’s cherished relationships, a great experience you want to remember, or just because you like it and it makes you feel beautiful. You deserve to feel and look your best. You deserve to shine, be courageous and show your creativity, flourish and live your life wholeheartedly.
