Celebrate Mother's Day on May 14th

with May Flowers

Remembering the happy days when we celebrated all the special occasions together with my Mom ... RIP XXOO

Hello Chi Cheng

May is a special month when all the pretty Spring flowers are smiling in bloom. Also, a month to celebrate our Mothers and for all the maternal figures in your life.

May is also the month when I celebrate my 38th wedding anniversary with my partner and the love of my life!

I'm so grateful to have all the support from my love ones, friends and clients so that I can continue to do what I love!

Was very much looking forward to seeing old friends at this event, but not sure why the organizers would choose not to support a local West Vancouver Artist for two years in a row. Help make your sentiments known by emailing the organizers in West Vancouver!

MAY: Emerald Birthstone

Brings to mind new life and fresh Spring growth

May’s birthstone is emerald, a rich green variety of the mineral beryl. Ranging in color from a greenish-blue to green, they have a clear depth of color that few gems command. Known as the gems of romance and intrigue, emeralds are one of the rarest gemstones, and their unique and highly coveted color make them a prized and special gift for anyone born in May.

Enchanting emerald: The verdant stone Emerald’s lively upbeat tint brings to mind new life and fresh spring growth, making it an ideal birthstone for the month of May. Indeed, this venerated beryl variety, which is part of the trinity of precious stones (emerald, ruby, and sapphire), has gathered legions of famous devotees over the centuries. First-century AD Roman emperor Nero had flat emerald crystals fashioned into a kind of early Ray-Bans and wore them to ward off sun glare while watching the gladiators in Rome’s Coliseum.

Halle Berry Emerald Engagement Ring

The emerald is perfect in color, its yellow-gold setting was hand forged, and instead of an inscription, it contains codes and symbols that only its wearer can understand. Halle Berry‘s engagement ring from her beau Olivier Martinez truly “symbolizes the couple’s story,” according to the design house behind the bauble.

The ring’s 4-carat emerald comes from old, “closed-down mines in Muzo, Colombia and the color is perfect,” the house continues. “The balance between the blue and the yellow in the green in that stone is perfect.”

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!

Beautiful Repurposed

Emerald Ring & Earrings Set

Carolyne is so lucky to be a May baby and

to have received some beautiful emeralds for her birthday. But, life moves on and she now wants to wear updated emerald designs

for both everyday and special occasions.

A New Life for Anne's Classic

Emerald Ring

This ring was screaming for a new look all the way from Florida!

This was one of my first "re=purposings" done remotely over long distance. Anne was very happy with the new design which really showed off the true beauty of her emerald and diamonds.
