heavenly flower ~ fleur de paradis I thought it would be fitting to blog about my pearls today - a gift during my own wedding - since I attended a dear friend's nuptials today. :)

During my own wedding a few years ago, my mother’s dear friend whom she had known back in the Philippines traveled all the way from Switzerland to attend. That was an honour in itself, and then she gave me the gift of a string of pearls. What made them particularly special to me, is that they were h...

It’s no secret, to anyone who knows me, I love rocks. I was ecstatic to find out my now-husband likes rocks too. Between buying beads, minerals and specimens we can do some major damage at a Gem & Mineral Show. Eventually we both want to get into rock hounding & lapidary. For now we leave that to th...

heavenly flower ~ fleur de paradis From my personal jewelry box: Baby ID Bracelets that adjust as they grow, designed for my two little ones, which they currently wear as anklets until they are bigger.

I designed ID bracelets for them that could be adjusted as they grow (currently my girls are 16 months and almost 3 years). Now as they are very young they wear their bracelets as anklets. The bracelet is one continuous chain. I simply slip the piece over their foot & clasp where comfortable. When t...

After my last post about my prophetic charm bracelet – it gave me the idea to start a series on my personal jewelry collection. Over the past couple of years I have really been pairing down the collection to just a few dear pieces. Here’s the rest of my wedding jewelry, then & now. :)

heavenly flower ~ fleur de paradis Although I have been quiet due to the summer holidays, a lot is going on here behind the scenes....I think I have finally decided on what Phase II for the website will be, I am also updating the business logo (see new banner here on the page), developing more engraveable pieces & preparing inventory for Christmas...tha...t's what I have been doing on my vacation! :)

heavenly flower ~ fleur de paradis The story about how this bracelet that serves as heavenly flower ~ fleur de paradis's logo has come to be. First designed as a wedding charm bracelet and now a mother's keepsake bracelet - with a prediction made at the time it was designed. :)

If you are familiar with my work, or have ever picked up my business card, you may recognize this bracelet. It is the official logo for heavenlyflower.com.

heavenly flower ~ fleur de paradis Tonight we loaded a section to show custom choices for engraving, as well as some of the bead options available. This is only the beginning - more are being added by request or as the opportunity arises.
heavenly flower ~ fleur de paradis, customizeable jewelry collections.

heavenly flower ~ fleur de paradis So - I now have two pieces for my new custom collection. I am going to be sitting down and writing the content for the site this week. So what to make next? Would you like to possibly be the subject for my next piece? It means free jewelry - and your very own namesake! Leave me a message here or by email if you are interested in sharing your story with me. :)

I am constantly looking for inspiration. Because the jewelry I design is so personal, I find it much easier to have a subject to base my designs around. My own personal journey can only go so far.

heavenly flower ~ fleur de paradis As promised, here is my keepsake necklace featuring the wonderful work of Nicole Valentine-Rimmer - her keepsake bead includes two locks to my girls' hair, and I finished the customizing by engarving a heart pendant. I have it on - right now!! :)

heavenly flower ~ fleur de paradis As promised here is a look at what my engravers can do...this was a piece I made for Aurore Henze's birthday - and the first piece I can actually say is good enough to share. :) I liked it so much I made one for myself! This one is definitely available for custiomizing. :)

I have been talking for several months now about my newly acquired manual engravers – AKA pantograph engraver or engravograph as New Hermes likes to call them.

heavenly flower ~ fleur de paradis Many other projects & orders have taken me away from designing my custom line and working on my website...so I haven't had much to say here lately. I am proud to say I finished my first custom engraved piece over the last couple of days! I also have two other ideas I need to pound out & get out of my head. Sneak peek soon!

heavenly flower ~ fleur de paradis I have been quiet lately. An unexpected trip home to Nova Scotia last month, which set me back in my intended goals has motivated me & inspired me to "hit the ground running" since we've been back. So I have been holed up in my creative bubble...here's an update as to what is on the horizon...

I am so severely behind with my blog posting. In March, my family & I ended up travelling home to Nova Scotia to attend a funeral. That wiped two weeks out of that month and therefore made me behind on my projects for my “Jewelry Sabbatical“. ...
