Meet the Maker

Odonatas Originals

Parksville,  BC 

I have dabbled in the creative arts and jewellery design all my life with jewellery making becoming my passion about 30 years ago. Many enjoyable years of continuous experimentation with different techniques, materials and ideas has allowed my style to evolve.

My natural creativity coupled with a love of rocks and crystals has led to the creation of unique statement pieces as well as wearable day-to-day pieces. Mixing crystals, chain maille, semi-precious, stones, metalwork and more; each design and idea inspires the next. My inspirations can come from anything, a combination of colours in nature, a beautiful bead, a dream, or…

Chain maille (or chain mail) is a labour intensive process of opening and closing individual jump rings and weaving them together to form the various patterns.
