Modern, Everyday Jewellry







Jewellery. Where to start? Costume to fine, modern to vintage, new to previously enjoyed - I love it all! So today, while still recovering from our European adventure, I thought I would build on the previous Stella and Dot info blog with a few of my favorite designers for modern, fun jewellery, covering the span of mass-created costume to high-end designed jewellery.

Let's start with the basics: fun, clean designs, costume with semi-precious stones and a variety of metals, including silver. Good old Stella and Dot fits the bill perfectly for me. Whether you want Indian, Asian or Mexican inspired jewellery, trendy enamel, personalized necklaces and bracelets and even a line for our children, Stella and Dot does not disappoint. In fact, you can visit the web link in the previous blog, and let your fingers do the buying! Your order will arrive in whimsically packaged boxes, ready to wear or give as gifts, in just a few days!

Canada has some great designers to choose from! For those that want to pay a bit more for higher quality everyday wear, including silver and pearl pieces, I love Hilary Druxman. This is a Winnipeg-based designer who has stunning simple, yet elegantly designed pieces. You can also order on-line and expect shipment in about five to ten days, in beautifully packaged boxes:


Similarly, take a look at Vancouver's Jessie Turner:


You can buy these pieces online at:

For those that want to spend (much) more and get some timeless pieces in gold with/out diamonds or other stones, look to Jennifer Meyer, a US based designer. Her pieces can be purchased in several trendy boutiques throughout the US, or at Mecca (Barneys). You will see her designs in such magazines as In Style, as her designs are worn by many celebrities across the globe.


You can purchase her designs through several websites, inluding:


All of these lines give a diverse sampling of great modern design using a variety of materials to suit different tastes and budgets, so go ahead, buy a piece or two to add to your collection!
