We talk about the heart of the home and immediately we think of the kitchen or the great gathering room. Where the energy is… the rhythm and beat of a household.
The people who comprise the settings at your table. This is where our tribe’s hearts beat as one.
Take time to enjoy special moments; wherever this ‘story of life’ directs your journey and takes you and your loved ones this breathtaking and heartfelt season. If you are with your tribe, you are at the heart of home. Valentines has become synonymous with romance and love, engagements, and weddings! As a jeweller, I love and appreciate how all that keeps our family business thriving and alive, and I love how jewellery pieces express emotive feelings. The items, textures, the tones that have the intrinsic ability to conjure loving thoughts or memories.
A grandmother’s treasured brooch, the aroma of fresh baked bread , the silk scarf still scented with a favourite perfume, the ring with a stone so pretty that you’re lost in its sparkle, the watch you take off just to read the loving inscription on its case; these are effervescent, these are limitless, these are precious.
It feels like I’ve come full circle as I reflect on my early experiences working as a summer student in a Canadian mine to working with Gordons Gold Jewellers for some time now.
My name is Maria; I grew up in Timmins – “The City With a Heart of Gold” – so it is not unusual that I found myself in the depths of a base metal mine. I worked four summers in the lab, analyzing ore samples for everything from zinc, nickel, cadmium, and silver to gold. I also enjoyed the privilege and honour of watching as the lab was tasked with pouring the gold bars.
When I began working at Gordons I found myself thoroughly captivated by all the wonderful pieces of jewellery made from gold. Recognizing the labours that brought gold from the area, and now seeing the works of art set with beautiful gemstones, I feel a particular pride. I was drawn specifically to the beauty of Fire & Ice jewellery as these items are made with Canadian-mined gold and primarily set with Canadian diamonds. Each of the Canadian-mined center diamonds are uniquely inscribed as part of their origin story. The engagement rings are delicate and classic which makes them timeless for a life’s story that is about to unfold.
I invite you to come in and introduce yourself; I would be honoured to show you why I am extremely proud to share my Golden Canadian story with you. Make your piece extra special with that “Canadian Gold Glow”.
Inspired by Bob Dylan’s iconic song, I am reminded that throughout the generations there have been global events that drastically shifted and shaped our lives.
This past year has done just that, making us stop, pause, and consider not only our health but the changes we need to make in our daily lives as to have a positive impact on our home and work environments.
We are so grateful for our loyal and supportive clientele who have been with us through this ordeal, gracing us with their patience and understanding.
As we inch closer to re-opening and start slowly welcoming customers into the store, our priority and commitment is to our staff and customers’ safety and wellbeing.
Duane and Loretta have invested into ensuring the store surpasses health and safety standards; from installing plexiglass counter barriers, disinfecting stations, and providing natural cleaning solutions, all playing a part in their commitment to joining London’s “City Green” programme that supports residents in “building a more sustainable and resilient city”.
We proudly want to lead the way by making changes to our work environment that will have a lasting impact on generations to come.
Replacing plastics with recyclable materials, utilizing natural alternatives for harsh chemicals and we are even in the process of rethinking packaging materials for our jewellery presentation boxes.
