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 shopping… 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 Dean Davidson. The Vancouver Nordstrom had a fairly small collection but enough to have us wanting more. Vanessa bought this gorgeous pair of pearl and brushed gold earrings before I could get my credit card out…I have trained her well:)
We both loved them – 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 Ipanema earrings which are amazing. I adore the way the stone sits in its setting. I’ve never seen anything quite like this!
I asked a question on the Instagram image and connected with Dean who offered to send me a few pieces to try! 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. Dean’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 – 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 collection’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. I’ve seen his pieces on many celebrities – including Oprah, the Duchess of Sussex, and Jennifer Lopez.
Currently, these collections can be found in over 300 luxury boutiques and department stores across the globe so I am thrilled to share them with you.
Dean has generously provided a discount code for my readers – which will save you 25% off your entire purchase…even items on sale!

It is all beautiful but I rarely wear jewelry anymore. I lean toward long necklaces when I do wear jewelry. Like new perfume or shoes though, nothing can cheer you up better than new jewelry. You look lovely in all of it and where did that georgeous blue patterned shirt come from? I love it. Blue is definitely your color.
Oh my , absolutely stunning jewellery !!! Thank you for the introduction to one of our own 🇨🇦.The Lagos Pendant Necklace caught my eye . It would be a
classic piece to wear with all my clothes and create a simple vertical down the centre .To be totally candid , I
would also use it as my “worry bead “ until this pandemic passes !
I love the burgundy/red jumper or seperates that you are wearing. Could you tell me where to purchase it?
The jewelry is lovely!
I’ve been trying to add to my ring collection since I can finally wear them (as a dentist is was too hard them with gloves on everyday). So I would pick the Plaza Ring!!!
XOOX

The Mar gemstone in Labradorite are my favorite! Beautiful workmanship. You look beautiful in all of the jewelry!
Really beautiful pieces. I would choose the origami bracelet with pearls of course. Then one of the pave rings for an everyday something extra to make me smile! Lovely of you to sponsor this giveaway.
The Lagos Huggie gold earrings are just my speed, I would love a win them but may purchase them if I don’t. Love your blog and hope you are able to out of quarantine soon.
I would love anything in the Mara collection. We spend months on our boat and this collection reminds me of the ocean and the Designer being Canadian!!!!! Bonus!!!!! I am trying to buy more Canadian products to help out our economy.
Oh gosh! I can’t decide!
I love the Impanema earrings in Blue Chalcedony because they’re “kicky and flirty” and that color can change my eyes between dark blue and green. Fun!
But!! I see the signature Pave Twin Bracelet and think – BOY! I could wear that a lot!
Sorry, can’t choose – but a gift certificate would go a long way to getting both….. 🙂
Beautiful artistic jewelry! The Praia Pave Pendant Necklace would be my choice, but it is all so elegant and lovely that it’s hard to choose. Thank you for introducing us to this amazing jeweler. You look fabulous in every piece that you are modeling!
Simply beautiful collection, thank you for introducing us! I would love to participate in the giveaway. how can I do this without Facebook? or does it mean I can’t participate?
I would purchase the IPANEMA earrings. I have just lost about 80lbs and have had to buy an entire new wardrobe which was definitely not in my budget. I have purchased a lot of blue items as it is my husbands favorite color and he has been so supportive in my healthier way of life. I have also recently considered gold as opposed to the silver or white gold which has been my staple thus far. Thank you for this opportunity!
Beautiful jewelry! I love the first ones you mentioned with pearl and brushed gold. They look great with everything. Thanks for sharing this artisan!
I too have quite the jewelry collection, but none of mine are like DD’s. This is a very nice collection. My choice piece would be the Ipanema earrings in Labradorite. I like this design with the anchor accent at the ear lobe, rather than a wire drop. Also, it looks like the drop is not too long. Thank you for this fun offer!
Oops. I didn’t mean to post twice! Time for coffee!!
Oh, my….such beautiful jewelry! I’m a big fan of hoop earrings, so I would choose the Bossa Hoops. They are so edgy….

The Origami hoops! They are similar to a pearl drop I wear, but the gemstone makes them versatile and fresh.
Beautiful collections. I’ve been looking for a pair of earrings with a little bit of dangle, but not too dressy. I would love the bamboo gemstone drop earrings. Classic.
What a beautiful collection! I think I would choose the Origami bracelet!
Love this collection. Something about the Canadian artists I have observed…graceful, grounding, natural. Thank you for bringing him to my attention.
Love it all but really like the Pria pave bar bangle.The origami infinity beaded necklace is pretty great as well.Caring for my husband who is recovering from major cancer surgery.This would really brighten my day/week/month.Thank you for introducing me to a new favorite designer!
