Adelais

Contemporary fine jewellery from Adelais is made of sterling silver and solid gold, many incorporating precious or semi precious gemstones to enhance their beauty.

Artist Statement
All of my jewellery begins as an idea. Sometimes using pen and paper to sketch out an idea, other times diving right in to experiment with the metal. I design and create distinctive pieces that showcase the simple beauty of precious metal and natural gemstones. My passion and appreciation for the craftsmanship of jewellery started at a young age, creating custom pieces for family and friends. This passion was further fuelled when I pursued the Fundamental Jewellery Skills certificate at George Brown College. After more than 10 years working in a corporate environment I made the decision to leave my job and share my love of jewellery with the world. With two young children at home keeping me on my toes, this gave me the opportunity to work from my home studio in East York. My love for the art of the craft continually drives me to refine my skills and explore the endless possibilities that precious metals provide. My philosophy is to create distinctive pieces that showcase the simple beauty in raw metal and natural gemstones, while adding a modern twist. For me, there is no greater satisfaction than bringing my ideas to life in my work.

Alice Beads

Wandering in the forest
She made a necklace with leaves and grass
Strolling by the sea
She made a crown with seaweed and broken glasses
Embraces every little thing from Nature
She envisions a world filled with passion and inspiration

With all her passion and inspiration
She indulges herself into a world of creation
Amusing herself with the magnificent beads
She sighed deeply for the love of all her artsy deeds
With her painterly eyes
And a pair of gifted hands
Alice is the queen in the Wonderland of Beads

Gently, come closer
Alice Beads stays for your appreciation and delight
