2020 update
Aurora Simmons
It’s been a wild ride since lockdowns began in March. I moved to making fabric face masks for a while, while we were locked down and I couldn’t access my jewellery bench. I am still making fabric masks and feel free to contact me if you are looking for some.
Since restrictions lifted in Toronto, I have been able to get back to jewellery making with a few blips here and there when covid related precautions needed to be taken at my studio.
I have certainly not caught up on the nearly 2 months of work I missed but I am slowly making progress.
For the time being my suppliers are open and with caution and care I am able to work as I normally would. It’s been a very challenging year for sure. My partner and I had covid in March, and he has experienced many of the long-hauler symptoms over the last 7 months, so it has been especially difficult. I am happy to say that he does seem to be solidly on the mend now.
There have been a few fun new developments though. I was able to partner with a friend in order to bring you a remarkable selection of Vintage rings. I encourage you to have a look through them. They are both unique and spectacular.
I am working on a few new designs to add to my collections for the upcoming gift giving season. Jewellery can add a much needed mood boost in these stressful times. And earrings and necklaces can make you feel like you’ve made an effort, even when you are on a zoom call.
The best way to stay up to date on all my new designs as they come out is to follow me on Instgram or Facebook where I post regularly.
Another fun new development has been a budding partnership with Sorbet Sapphire, to use some of their colourful gemstones in my upcoming designs, so look for those pieces, coming soon.
I hope you and your families are weathering the storm as best you may be. I hope to be bringing you more information rich blogs in the near future.
