A Gift For You
Happy Friday and Merry Christmas Eve. We have a very small family and most of us have assembled at our home for Christmas this year so I will be taking some time to soak it all up. Before I take a small break, I wanted to thank you for being the gifts I never expected.
I think of this community as a living breathing embodiment of women supporting women. Yes, it’s a blog, but you ladies have transformed the comment section into a community that I am so grateful to be a part of with you. The wisdom, kindness, and rich experiences you share are gifts to every lady here.
In that spirit, I am thrilled to have a gift I’d like to give one of you. You’ve seen me wear and support Dean Davidson many times over the years. He’s an incredibly talented Canadian Jeweler who makes designs that are modern, elegant, and unique.
The Dean Davidson brand has risen to international prominence, counting Oprah, Jennifer Lopez, Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau, and the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, as fans. Further solidifying his role as an internationally celebrated jewelry designer, Davidson was honored as the Canadian Arts & Fashion Award’s 2019 Accessories Designer of the Year.
I love that his collections are purposefully designed in Toronto, Canada, and meticulously crafted in a traditional, family-owned workshop of multi-generational master gem cutters in Jaipur, India.
Each piece is cast out of high-quality brass, finished in 22kt gold or rhodium, and set with custom-cut, semi-precious gemstones. The collection’s signature brushed finish – a technique learned by the designer during time spent in Paris – gives a timeless, luxurious, and unique quality to each design.
Dean had generously provided a set from his newest, limited-edition collection of 14K gold jewelry for me to gift to one of my lucky readers as a thank you for supporting us this year.
A WINNER HAS BEEN CHOSEN, THANK YOU.
This 14K Gold Small Signature Knockout Pendant features a multi-faceted, brilliant-cut Moonstone hung on a solid gold box chain that adjusts from 16-17″. He’s also included a pair of his 14K Gold Small Knockout Studs with Moonstones that perfectly match the necklace.
Please pop over to his site here and come back to let us know which piece is your favorite. The winner will be chosen at random on Boxing Day so please be sure the email you have associated with your comments is correct.
I wish you all a safe, and loving Merry Christmas!

I’ve been admiring this brand for a while now. If I could pick I loved the turquoise Impanema earrings and the paper clip necklace. Thank for the offering!
Merry Christmas, Jennifer.
I always look forward to your blog. So kind to offer a gift to us. I’ve admired his jewelry since you first introduced us. I think the knock out studs would be a favorite, but it’s hard to choose! The passage necklace would be a close second!
I love the crystal droplet earrings in white gold. They are gorgeous.
The Ethos bracelet in labradorite “ speaks to me.” I like that this is a Canadian designer. Thanks for promoting him and that lovely necklace and earrings!
Seasons Greetings to you and your family, Jennifer!
I like the pendant.
Dear Jennifer,
Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I discovered your blog a few months ago and fell in love with your style. There were so many pieces that caught my eye but I really fell in love with his Passage pendants and have marked his page to return and make my purchase. I hope you and your family have a beautiful and blessed Christmas and New Year.

Love the Eros bracelet! Beautiful jewelry. So enjoy your blog, thank you Jennifer!!
Hard to choose but love the beaded bracelet!
Happy Holidays to all and a safe and healthy New Year!
Merry Christmas and enjoy your time with your family. Hopefully 2022 will be a better year for everyone. The jewlery is exquisite and really difficult to choose a single piece. I fine the pave signature necklace very simple but tasteful, I,
May need to treat my a elf to a piece!
Happy Holidays to you and yours, Jennifer.
What a lovely and thoughtful thing to do: offer your blog family a gift. I must say Deam Davidson’s work is exquisite. I kept going back to his gold signature diamond pendant necklace. It is lovely. I have to say it is my favorite.
Wishing you and your small family a Happy New Year, too!
I agree with many others that there are many “favorites” on Dean Davidson”s website. A few which I really liked are the square hoops, dune hoops and spire hoops as well as the Pave Bar Chain Bracelet. Thanks for having a giveaway. Merry Christmas!
I love the signature drop earrings!
Back in 2001 in Calgary, we went to HunterDavidson for our engagement ring (using his Grandmother’s diamond ) and our wedding rings. Beautiful and very distinctive! I had an emerald and diamond ring of my Mum’s redesigned as well. I know the collaboration changed, and Dean Davidson continued on his own.
Such a surprise, Jennifer, to see newer designs. I would love a pair of studs from his studio sometime.
Have a lovely Christmas 🎄!
Both so lovely, but the earrings are my favorite!
So enjoy you and your sharing of practical, real world advice, fashion and wisdom!
Happiest of holidays to you and yours snd a new year of peace and good health be yours!
I love his signature Midi Knockout pendant! Merry Christmas to you and your family, Jennifer!
My favorite piece is the Signature Statement Chain. Thanks to you and Dean Davidson for offering this wonderful giveaway. Merry Christmas!
I enjoy your blog as you visit shops that are mostly available throughout the US unlike other blogs where you have to order from abroad. You also keep the average woman’s budget in mind!!!! I do love Dean Davidson’s Manhattan pendant necklace as the little ball reminds me of earth and that we are all in it together. Whether it’s covid, climate change, education, we all want what’s best for mankind. No man is an island. Thank you for your blog and the daily smile it brings me!
Have a wonderful Christmas with your family. It’s a precious time.
We have lots of snow on Vancouver Island. A white Christmas is unusual for our area. It’s so beautiful and quiet outside and I have no place to go so I can just sit back and enjoy the scenery.
Such a generous give away by you and Dean Davidson jewellery. My favourite was the Manhattan Chain Link Statement necklace.
Merry Christmas!
I like the Manhattan chain bracelet. Very pretty!!
Merry Christmas Jennifer,
Love your posts! You are dressing me in AR and my Sis in Canada. We compare notes on your suggestions! I vote for the Plaza Ring. Thanks for bringing us his designs!
