Luster For Life

Posted by Canadian Gift Guide on January 22, 2015 · 116 Comments

Back over the holidays I introduced you guys to a great Canadian brand, Pamela Lauz Jewellery. I noticed a ton of you loved the brand when leaving comments on my posts, so when the opportunity came up to work with them at a most appropriate time – Valentine’s Day is but a few weeks away darlings – I couldn’t resist. While before I only had space to show you an idea or two from the brand, today I’m happy to highlight my favourite items from Pamela Lauz Jewellery to show your sweetheart how much you love them.

Rhapsody Grand Pendants – $425 each
First up, some fittingly romantic-hued pendants (ravishing red & dashing black) that borrow from one of the brand’s most popular designs – the infinity pendant – but add in a pretty stone for a pop of colour. The red stone, for the record, is actually sea bamboo, whereas the black is onyx. The Rhapsody collection comes in three basic sizes of pendants – pictured above is the largest – with prices starting at $225. Really love this intertwined look? It also comes in a striking three-ring design, and a striking, luxe looped version.

Dolci Stacking Rings – Custom
One of the really important things I wanted to emphasize in this more detailed profile of Pamela Lauz Jewellery is that the brand is largely focused on custom designs. Want to wow her (or him!) with a beautiful one-of-a-kind engagement ring? Contact ’em and make it happen. The same goes for a range of other pieces – you can both tweak existing Pamela Lauz Jewellery designs or start from scratch. For the former, one of my fave customizable pieces has to be these sweet, candy-hued stacking rings with precious stones like pink sapphires or peridot.

Hearts Pink Baroque Pearl Bracelet – $495
It wouldn’t be a Valentine’s Day feature without highlighting some of the heart-shaped pieces in the collection – all of which still carry that unique, faceted angle that I associate with Pamela Lauz’s style. However, another thing I wanted to mention by showcasing this particular bauble off is that the brand is much more than just metal and precious gems. Several of their pieces and collections use unique components, like the beautiful iridescent freshwater pearls shown here. I adore this because it’s a subtle way to remind someone how much you love ’em – and what girl doesn’t want pearls? Also available in classic white and as a necklace.

Lantern Lariat Necklaces – $75 each
Two more things to love about Pamela Lauz Jewellery? First off, they offer a massive range of price points – and their site is easily browsed based on how much you want to spend. If you want to keep this conservative and simply present your lady love with a token of your affection, might I suggest the pretty Lantern Lariat necklace above? It retails for under $100 but is so timeless and effortless, she’ll wear it forever. Which brings me to my second love note – the range of colours (or really, stones). the Lantern line in particular offers 15 necklace variations, while the complementary earrings come in 30 different stones. Pick a shade you know she loves, her birthstone, or something that symbolizes how long you’ve been together.

Infinity Jewellery Collection – From $95
Rendered primarily in silver, the Infinity collection – as I’ve alluded – is one of the signature and most expansive lineups available from Pamela Lauz Jewellery. It’s a simple, subtle way to speak to the infinity of one’s love, particularly during this romantic time of year. Go for something dramatic like the $1,200 Infinity Bracelet pictured above, or something classically elegant, like a pair of pretty drop earrings. Whatever the case, the message behind the piece you pick will always be near & dear to her heart.

**BONUS** While my gift guide is certainly a great starting point for picking out a lovely piece for your lovely lady, be sure to check out Pamela Lauz Jewellery’s guide. From now until February 15, 2015, they’re offering free shipping in Canada + 10% off any purchase of $150 or more before tax. One final pick from me? Well, it doesn’t get any lovelier or prettier than this simple little Hearts Small Silver Pendant – $175, that borrows the same design as the pearl bracelet I showed you earlier, but streamlines things into a delicate standalone necklace. I thought it was a fitting piece to round up my Valentine’s Day jewellery gift guide, and also a fantastic piece to give away to one lucky reader! Interested in winning? Here’s how to enter!
