Healing Yoga Necklace


Pyrite and Oxidized Sterling Silver Ball Chain
with Karin Chopik Hammered Heart

Yoga Jewellery


Healing Yoga Jewellery has been in popular demand for quite a while now.

I love to choose and combine gemstones that have healing properties and energies that are customized to meet the needs of my clients and that carry the sentiment of the well wishes from the giver.

This picture shows a sample yoga piece based on an order I received from a lovely gentleman who wanted to have a necklace made for his sister after their mother had passed away and they found themselves in deep grief around their sudden loss. The intention was to remind the sister of the special bond between brother and sister, to help her realize she was not alone and to help her heal.

Another Wags to Whiskers Event


Last year's donation for the Wags to Whiskers Charity Event was a very popular item, so I designed a similar bracelet, once again inspired by my cat's (Tigger) beautiful coat. Here's the poem that goes along with the piece:

For a lover of animals and stylish things,
A mother of pawed ones, scaled ones or wings,
Is this bracelet in cat tones,
Inspired by my own.

Smokey quartz, onyx and pearl,
Pieces inspired by my tabby's fur.
A Wags to Whiskers reminder to wear,
Depicting the love for creatures we share.
Caring for animals with the GVAC,
This piece comes to you from my heart with glee.

2011 art attire jewellery submissions


One of my accepted submissions for this year's Art Attire Event on June 11, 2011 was a pair of elegant evening earrings made of vermeil gold and oxidized silver mesh with clear quartz and white topaz gemstones. I wanted to design something stunning that would be noticed from a distance as well as up close. Originally, the jewellery pieces were going to be worn and shown during the fashion show on the runway. The plan was to use models from the Victoria Ballet dressed in black to showcase the jewellery. Unfortunately, this plan was not carried out and in the end the pieces were put on display in a case instead. I was still grateful for the inspiration to design something eye catching and was extremely happy with the result.

Bejewelled Lace
These luxurious, fresh and modern, statement earrings were designed for the woman who enjoys her feminine and sexy side while simultaneously exuding elegance and sophistication.

The large, light weight, 18K textured, vermeil gold ellipse shaped frames have been wire wrapped with fine gauge oxidized sterling silver and finished with 14K gold filled lever backs. Encased in the delicate and intricate asymmetric crochet/weave are shimmering white topaz and clear quartz faceted gemstones in a variety of shapes. The fine checker and briolette facets capture the light and provide ample sparkle, accentuating the playful movement of these striking earrings.

Measurements:
Total Length from top of the lever back: 88mm
Price: 499.00
