Dean Davidson with An Exciting Giveaway For My Readers

Happy Tuesday ladies. I’ve always been a bit of a jewelry nut and I came by it naturally. My grandmother loved and collected it, my mother loved and collected it, and I’ve passed that tradition on to my daughter. When I visited Vanessa in Vancouver last fall, we had a blast visiting with her friends, getting our first Hydra facial, dining out, and of course shoppingā€¦ all the pre-pandemic joy that I’d sure love to have right about now! Today I am introducing the Dean Davidson Jewelry Collection.

On one of our shopping excursions, we discovered a jewelry collection by a Canadian designer called fashion blogger Jennifer Connolly wearing Dean Davidson Origami earrings

We both loved them ā€“ they’re simple, elegant, organic shape is a modern classic. I tried unsuccessfully to steal them upon my departure but no luck.

Fast forward to this past month, I discovered the brand again while browsing on Instagram, in particular, I saw these

I asked a question on the Instagram image and connected with Dean who offered to send me a few pieces to try!Ā  It turns out these amazing earrings are part of the DD Icons collection which are worn time and again as red-carpet staples. These instantly-recognizable pieces represent both the origin and evolution of the Dean Davidson brand.

Dean Davidson discovered his love for designing jewelry after an inspirational trip to Africa and launched his line in 2007. Deanā€™s collections are designed in Toronto, Canada, and meticulously crafted in a traditional family-owned workshop of multi-generational master gem cutters in Jaipur, India. He was honored as the Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards 2019 Accessories Designer of the Year. Each piece is cast out of high-quality brass and finished in 22 k gold or rhodium and set with custom-cut semi-precious gemstones.

The Mar collection is named after the Portuguese word for sea and features vibrant, ocean-hued gemstones evocative of glistening seas in the midday sun.

What I love about these pieces, is they can be dressed up for a formal affair (if we ever get out of the house again!), and they also pair well with a simple T-shirt and jeans. The stones are particularly beautiful ā€“ they have a lot of fire and life in them.

I thought each pair of earrings I put on was my favorite until I saw my daughter borrow and wear these. They are the exact color of our eyes and one of my very favorite stones!

The collectionā€™s signature brushed-finish is a technique Dean learned during his time in Paris. I love how it gives a soft, timeless, luxurious, and unique quality to each design. Iā€™ve seen his pieces on many celebrities ā€“ including Oprah, the Duchess of Sussex, and Jennifer Lopez.

    Thank you for introducing us to Dean Davidson. Iā€™m Canadian, so try to always shop ā€œlocalā€. I love the brushed metal. I really like the Pave ring, actually all the rings.

    I guess it’s too early for me this morning. I forgot to add that I would buy the Ipanema earrings. I adore the faceted blue stone set into the simple gold setting. It looks elegant and simple yet playful, all of which define my style.

  8. Linda Simpson says:

    Jennifer, thank you for sharing a part of this beautiful collection! Like you, my grandmother and mother loved their jewelry and passed that love on to me. As a little girl, I would go into Grandma’s bedroom and go through her jewelry, admiring each piece. I ended up with her entire brooch collection, a pearl necklace, and her wedding set. I also got my mother’s collection upon her passing, and I cherish wearing pieces from both. They give me joy, and I also receive compliments when I wear something that belonged to my lovely grandma and mom.

  9. Thank you for introducing us to such a talented designer! I love the aesthetic of his pieces–they are right up my alley. I would love the Ipanema silver earrings with the blue topaz for my niece who is such a loving soul with an incredible work ethic. I know she would treasure them.

  10. These pieces are just beautiful. I especially love the Origami Infinity Chain Necklace. I too had a grandmother who collected jewelry, and she passed that love on to me.

  11. The Mar gemstone statement collar is simply gorgeous! I am new to the David Davidson collection. I donā€™t wear a lot of jewelry but this collection would offer that finishing touch thatā€™s simple but elegant at the same time. These are not trendy pieces but timeless accessories that would span years of wear. Simply beautiful!

  12. Such pretty jewelry…thanks for the introduction. I tend to wear smaller earrings and the Bamboo gemstone studs and the Origami hoops caught my eye as I was browsing. I plan on giving the site a thorough investigation while hiding my credit card…so many tempting pieces.

  13. Thanks for sharing. Hoop earrings are my favorite and I love the pave hoops or the origami hoops.

    Beautiful jewelry. I love the Ipanema earrings you featured in the blog. They just look like summer to me! I think I could wear them every day!

  28. Thanks for showing us DDā€™s jewelry! Theyā€™re gorgeous. I was at the 2019 CAFA night, and it was an amazing and exciting event. So many young designers are passionate about sustainability and helping others. (My father was honored with a lifetime achievement award as a fashion photographer and gave a speech.)

  29. Beautiful jewelry! I would love the Mar gemstone statement earrings in Moonstone in silver. Moonstone is my birthstone and said to have healing properties! I also love the Maiko Pave earrings in silver.
