Volume 32 | NOVEMBER 2023

It's November, and the magic of the Holiday Season begins!

Took an outing to Abbotsford for an evening of the fabulous Doobie Brothers music LIVE!

Hello Chi Cheng

It's sunny, but cold out there!

This is the best time for me to stay warm and work in my studio to prepare for my Holiday Season shows.

It was hard to focus after my vacation to Bali and Singapore in September... But, lucky for me, I have my dog Peanut in the Studio to keep me company while working. He is the real boss of this operation!

Working on winter blues. Which stone should I start on first?

Finishing new diamond earrings and necklace...

Even Peanut is working hard in the Studio!

My Commando Boys all dressed up!!

Scary Treats, Yum!

Happy Halloween!

Dress for the occasion,

just for fun!

From Chi's Bench ... Repurposed Delights

Let me help you tell your stories!

I delight in giving new life to tired jewelry with my "re-purposed" designs.

Creating new expressions from family legacy pieces are so heart-warming

when I can be part of their journey ...

An engagement ring, family ring or necklaces - they all combine wonderful memories, bringing happiness to both me and everyone involved!

Grandma Lillian's

Legacy Birthstone Rings

Lilllian wanted to create a matching set of Citrine stacking rings that she can eventually pass on to her three grand-daughters, who also happened to be born in November. We engraved their names in each of the rings so they will know which one is for whom.

Repurposed Sister Rings

One of my favorite pieces to repurpose, are the "Sister Rings" from Mom's wedding ring set. Sharing sisterly love forever with their very own heirloom rings from Mom!
