trink at Shri Yoga!!

I am very pleased to inform you that my new favorite place is the latest hotspot selling trink jewels!
I have been practicing yoga now with the lovely ladies Mona & Barrie at Shri since the beginning of the summer and I have to say, not only am I feeling gradually stronger and more flexible but I'm also happier. The heart opening take on yoga (anusara) that is taught at this new Westmount studio is transforming to not only the body but to the spirit as well. Each and every class is started off with a word from the teacher that links into the goal behind the day's practice- whether relating to a yogic philosophy or a holiday in a given culture's calendar, their lesson always seems to feel like it is directed right at how I am feeling in that moment!! I kid you not- there is something magical happening there and I simply cannot get enough!

So how does the jewelry fit in?

trink's path has split. Not only does trink offer a line of bridal jewelry but now a new line of yoga & dance inspired jewels as well! The concept is based on a few principles;
*flexibility: so jewels can be worn comfortably & multiple ways while you practice yoga (or dance...)

*color: based on the chakra colors referred to in ayervedic therapies

*symbolism: malas (traditional prayer/buddha beads) made in crystal and symbolic shapes such as circles, stars & lotus flowers are incorporated

And lastly, trink's famous one-size-fits-all daisy ring has a fitting new name...the lotus!

But don't go just for the jewels, take a class! And I promise you will be glad you did:)

fall~winter 2011/12

And so the time has finally come for me to launch trink's fall~winter 2011/12 collection! The collection is called *snowflower* and has been given this name because of all of the white & crystal flowers that it is made up of, which make me think of snowflakes- and because for as long as I can remember, that is the name that was given to snowflakes by one of my most favorite of people. And, inspired by the whimsy & surreal ideals of love that dance inside my head, the jewels came to be~

To view the complete collection please visit trinkjewelry.com
...and to shop the new collection online, visit trink's etsy boutique!

les yeux violets- A Love Affair With Jewellery

trink has taken part in a jewelry exhibit honouring the life and love for jewelry of the late icon, Miss Elizabeth Tailor. As most know, Liz had quite the collection of jewels! The exhibit was organized by the collective 'les joailliers du dimanche'- a group of local jewellers, including trink:) that work to create events introducing their work to the public.

The exhibit was introduced with a vernissage/cocktail that was held on Friday July 8th but don't worry if you did not make it, the exhibit is on through the 16th- details above...

If you pass by today, I will see you there!

Have a wonderful day;)

Wow! It feels like a million years since I've last blogged! Well I am happy to be back and I have lots to share! trink has undergone some changes- as you may have noticed, the slight re-design of the blog (from the redish & white to the pink & purple..) and most importantly..the design of trink's new logo and soon to be up newly designed website! Thanks to my friend Maggie at Chandelier blanc for helping me with it all- I could not have done any of this without her.
