The Story of Orange Avocado Jewelry...

• Orange Avocado Jewelry x Grocery Girls Collab 2.0

  Published Dec 06 2024 in

  

  Another wonderful collaboration with the Grocery Girls!  It's the OA x GG Collection 2.0 and it's just in time for Christmas giving.  

  Tracie Millar & Jodi Brown are the masterminds and sisters behind the Grocery Girls.  Their name came about from their parents' when they owned and help run their grocery business in the heart of Edmonton. Both ladies have been faithful customers of our jewelry line for over 15 years and we couldn't be more grateful.  They are a delightful couple of ladies who support all that is knitting and kind.  They reached out to us again after a very successful jewelry collab in 2023.  

  This year's collection is based on twisted sterling silver and 14K goldfill wire that looks like strands and balls of actual yarn!  We created a collection that combines both contemporary & classic styles.  Modern freeform links are adorned with classic fresh water pearls and crystals.  There is the mixed metal combination of 14K goldfill (tarnish free and does not wear off), and sterling silver so that you can match it with either precious metals.  

  If you have some of the pieces from our first collab then these pieces will definitely complement those from the first collection.  And if this is your first collection with us then welcome!  

  You will find the complete collection online and for purchase at:  www.grocerygirlsknit.com

• thanks mom & dad...

  Published Oct 14 2024 in dad, mom, thankful

  

  🌸These are the two people who I received my creativity from. My dad was an engineer. When I was young I would always see large sheets of bond and green grid paper on his desk with triangle rulers and cool pencils. I coveted his collection of rulers. I was always intrigued by the intersecting lines on those huge pieces of paper.
  
  My mom was a stay at home mom who always made us feel safe with her devotion to her family. She loves watching things and learning from it all. She loves asking questions and doesn’t hesitate to state her opinion. My business sense is from her. Her writing is like calligraphy. She is humble about everything that she does.
  
  I am thankful for my parents who have made me the jewelry designer and business person that I am now. Thank you mom and dad ❤️

  
  

• The HALO '24 Collection

  Published Sep 12 2024 in

  

  

  Halo  ha~lo / noun

  Circle or arc of light around an object.  A symbolic representation of positivity and support.

  The Halo Collection represents those arcs of light in forms of hand sculpted and hand forged silver and gold fill links & medallions.  The halos in this collection are imperfect. Precious metals have been coaxed into fluid silhouettes. It is a collection that is calming and natural.  They symbolically represent the feeling of being safeguarded in daily life especially in times of need.  We all carry that halo.  At other times that halo can be strengthened in layers.  It is always present

• ENTWINED Collection: SS24

  Published Mar 25 2024 in abstract forms, connections, entwined, family, freeform shapes, hand forged, irregular shapes, new spring summer collection

   

  The Entwined Collection is about family and connections. There is evidence that social connections contribute to a longer life.  I couldn’t agree more. Connections with family, friends or a pet makes the day worth looking forward to. The Entwined Collection represents how we are intertwined with the ones that we love.  People that we look forward to spending time with.   Erin and I share that bond.  From being not only a mom and daughter but a connection through this jewelry venture that we are on together.

  The Entwined Collection is composed of delicate entwined links in sterling silver and 14K gold fill hand forged into irregular shapes. The freeform shapes emotes movement and interest when worn.  Each piece is individually metal worked in Sandra & Erin’s home studio in Edmonton.  Each piece created one by one; each piece different from the next. Just like life; our connections are ever changing and always in motion.
