Quincy...Jones if you must

Hey it's Quincy and seeing as I'm in the studio @ 6:30 am, I figured it was a great time to introduce myself. I've been in jewellery forever and I will probably be in jewellery forever, but I get bored quickly so I like to mix things up.

Right now is rather an interesting moment  in my jewellery career. We are currently coming up the 2009 holiday season and even though I've seen the madness many times, this is the first time I've been running the whole show from everything to design  to production to sales.

Upcoming shows for December that you can come visit me at:

My name is ChiaChien Tsai or you may call me Ellen if it is easier for you to say my name! I went to OCAD for jewellery design, then joined Jewel Envy right after. It is a wonderful studio that always keep me motivated! so...what am I doing recently?? Hmmm...I am trying to come up with new pieces for our anniversary event on Dec. 10th. Hope to see you all there =^^=

Hello!

Hi there! My name is Efrat and I'm a professional jewelry designer. I've been working at Jewel Envy for almost a year now. I started working at the studio a month after coming to Toronto from Israel. It was a great starting place to meet the local jewelers and  get helpful information about what Toronto has to offer to jewelers. After 4 great intensive years studying in Jerusalem at Bezalel Academy of Art & Design, I was eager to start my own jewelery line. While searching the net, I found Jewel Envy and was very excited about the prospect of sharing a studio with other jewelers while working on my jewelery and having all the equipment I needed.

I am currently working on a wedding line that will be ready for the Jewel Envy holiday party.

:)

Pleased to meet your aquaintance.

Ciao!

I don't believe I properly introduced myself in my first and previous blog so allow me to remedy that!  My name is Alexis and I recently became Manager at Jewel Envy Studio.  

 I joined the studio a month after coming back from a one year intensive Jewellery course in Milan, Italy in 2006 having previously studied at Ontario College of Art and Design.  The studio was exactly what I had envisioned in a space that I wanted to work in after finishing school, a co-operative space where a group of jewellers can share equipment and a place to display and sell our work.  My absolute favourite part of working in this space is the sharing of ideas and getting to see others work while doing my own thing.  Everyone here has such different styles and niches in different jewellery making techniques.  I find that I am continually learning to create just by seeing how other people in the studio are making things - it's an indispensible asset that I very much appreciate!  It's great to  give or receive a second opinion on a piece that you are working on.  It might sound insignificant, but I think that having that constantly around you spurs your creativity.  

Currently I am working on some large framed silhouette pieces (similar to the ones in my silhouette collection, but with more detail) that I am working to have done for our upcoming Anniversary Party which is quickly approaching.  I'm really looking forward to the party, but for now I should get back to work!


Until next time,


Alexis
