What kind of work do you do (Engraver, Jeweller/Stone Setter, goldsmith, etc.)?
As an independent jeweller, there are many roles you have to take to be a well-rounded jeweller. For myself, I am a trained goldsmith which allows me to take care of the making of each pieces from casting/cleanup to assembly. I am also trained in high-end optical setting. This I believe to be my biggest strength as a stone setter. The attention to details is absolutely required as a setter as each stone is precisely set using advanced techniques, allowing the highest results of brilliance to the finished product. I really enjoy having a part to play in the whole process which entails a high quality standard that is never compromised. How long have you been doing this work? I started my first Jewellery and Metals Program at Georgian College in 2016 at the age of 19. As a first generation jeweller, this was my introduction to the industry. Two years later, I started my first jewellery business M.C. Jeweller Originals LTD. I’ve been working full-time since then. After four years in business and learning something new every single day, I am happy to say I turned my passion into a career. How did you first become interested in Engraving/Jewelry/Stone Setting? My interest for jewellery began when I was in my senior year in high school. I was collecting watches at the time and started wearing small jewellery pieces with my outfits. I took an art class having no experience drawing or painting. Although I wanted to use my creativity in an art form, I had no clue at the time I would pursue jewellery as a career. I had visions of concept designs which I would sketch on paper in class. I wasn’t the best artist as far as my drawings and painting, even my teacher told me I should consider changing classes because she didn’t see me as an artist. This gave me even more drive to become an artist.
