Artist Michele Scholnick was born in Montreal. Torn between pursuits like law and political science, she earned a degree in Japanese and Law and began study for a PhD in political science. She rewarded herself with a class in graphic design and due to her interest in jewelry her life took a different path. Michele followed her passion and now creates beautiful, elegant and classic pieces in sterling silver and diamonds.

Sarah creates designs in jewelry that reflect the wearer at the deepest level, not only as beautiful adornments but also as testaments to the spirit of the wearer: fearless, vulnerable, wild, free, serene, rebellious, kind, nurturing... and deeply, marvelously human.

Keith Jack draws his inspiration from the raw beauty of the Scottish and Irish landscapes. Each of his collections offers something unique he has seen in a hidden mountain loch, the grey sky over a glen, or the ripples on a sandy beach. Inspiration becomes design. Keith combines precious textured metals and exotic gemstones in surprising and stunning ways. His designs are strengthened by his ability to blend ancient Celtic symbolism with contemporary style and elegance.

Wear a piece of history! Our beautiful Roman Glass jewelry has arrived. Check out the Roman Glass photo album.

Handcrafted at Kibbutz Revadim in Israel, this sterling silver jewelry is inlaid with a fragment of ancient glass, discovered in an archeological excavation in the Holy Land. The 2,000-year-old Roman glass is witness to ancient times, to the ingenuity of those who developed and refined the revolutionary glass blowing technique and to the elements of nature, whose centuries of delicate chemical processes are seen in the rainbow shades as remnants of their remote past. The story behind Roman Glass and a Certificate of Authenticity accompanies each piece.
