"Thank you so much for creating the cluster cameo just for me. It's beautiful and I get non-stop compliments on it.”

"I met Lara to discuss creating jewelry for my wedding day plus a gift for my daughter to wear on our special day. The meaning of what I wanted Lara to create would be something for my daughter and me to share forever. This would not be an easy feat for anyone to create but Lara excelled on all levels. Her questions in our first meeting covered the gamut – material options, weight, size, personal preferences and even skin sensitivities. By the end of our meeting I knew what my cost would be and exactly when I could expect delivery. The day of delivery was a bigger surprise for me than I had expected - remember, the jewelry is custom created. I was truly touched at Lara’s ability to perfectly capture everything we discussed in our initial meeting and turn that conversation into two stunning sets of jewelry. Her business professionalism mixed with her talent and knowledge is unsurpassed and I confidently and happily recommend Lara’s services. Thank you Lara!”

"Thanks for a terrific workshop Lara! It was fun, creative and informative and it was so great to have a small group of people to share ideas and see each others creations. Thanks for your help with my design. I can't wait to get it to my Mom!"
- Anne, Career Coach
“Lara is one of Toronto's most gifted jewelry designers. I am an artisan jewelry "junkie" and her work leads the pack for design, quality and originality. She particularly good at redesigning old jewellery into new pieces.”
- Beth, Business Writer
“Lara's custom work combines her creativity with an understanding of her client's unique style and personality. She has magically transformed inherited jewelry that languished in boxes for years into pieces I wear all the time because they truly reflect who I am.”
- Anne, Image Consultant
“I first had Lara fix and rework a beautiful necklace I had been given. She made it even better! I've also bought several of her creations both for gifts and for myself. They've been big hits! It is a pleasure to hear how Lara goes about selecting beads and making truly unique pieces.”
- Manuela, Interior Designer
"Lara is a talented creator of beautiful jewelry. I met Lara while we were volunteering in Uganda, and I have since purchased some of her creations. Even though I live internationally (Australia), she has shipped them to me quickly and professionally, and I have always been happy with the results. I also asked Lara to custom design a necklace similar to one I've seen her create in the past, and it is beautiful. I especially like the fact that Lara uses recycled and fair trade materials. I always receive compliments on her work! Thanks, Lara!
- Grace, Teacher
“Lara creates beautiful, unique pieces that each have their own story. She designed a couple of pieces for me from old necklaces, earrings and a charm bracelet that I wasn't wearing. Now, these pieces are among my favorite items and I love to show them off and tell people about Lara's fabulous work. Lara takes the time to understand the style that you want, to create custom pieces that suit your style. I've also bought a gift for a friend from Lara featuring beautiful beads sourced sustainably from different places on the globe - so nice to give a gorgeous gift that is also eco-friendly!”
- Susan, Corporate Trainer
“I've never had custom jewelry done before, so Lara was getting a complete newbie. She helped me to connect with a sacred process of being attracted to a central piece for a necklace, an Egyptian scarab, and then having a follow up meeting to work out all the details. In that meeting, she had me bring necklaces that I already had and liked. From looking at those I was able to identify what was important to me in a necklace. From there, we engaged in a collaborative effort to design a necklace that was TOTALLY me and reflected the changes I'm currently going through in my life. My scarab necklace is the most meaningful and personal piece of jewelry I own now, and it feels GREAT to wear it! I highly recommend Lara for her strong ethics, ability to take in the personality of her client, and amazing creative gift for making meaningful and fashionable jewelry. Lara gets my 10 out of 10!”

“Lara is a wonderful, creative designer. Her jewelry is really very original. I absolutely love the earrings I first got from her. People are always asking me about them -- made from antique belt buckles. Then she re-worked some older jewelry I had which I wanted but never wore. She updated them, adding her own twist, and now I love them. I highly recommend Lara if you are looking for something a little different and personalized.”
- Heather, Language and Pronunciation Coach

She is also flexible and accommodating about where we can meet and she is very reliable. Thanks for giving me such great pieces of art to wear!”
