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! I know that because I had to buy a pair of these for my daughter if I ever hope to take my pair home;) Just type in JENNIFER25 after you load your cart and proceed to the online checkout.

Love the Origami collection, so simple, but beautiful lines! The loop drop earrings are gorgeous but currently sold out, but maybe they’ll come back! The ring, so simple and classic! Thanks for sharing this designer, he’s one I will enjoy following!
Thank you for promoting a Canadian designer with such stunning jewelry! I love wearing earrings, so my choice would be either the Origami Infinity Drop in silver and pearl or the large square hoop. Both of those would be worn a lot.
Love the origami pearl hoops that you have on! Thanks for the chance in your drawing!
So many breathtaking and dramatic pieces! Thank you for introducing us to this talented Canadian designer. Although it’s difficult to choose just one piece, I would definitely enjoy the Lagos Cuff in gold.
Beautiful jewelry! Very difficult to choose, but I think I’d have to say that the Ipanema earrings are my favourites! They’re so unique and could be worn with everything from jeans to a classy evening outfit.
Thank you for introducing us to this wonderful designer. I have been drooling over all of the beautiful jewelry on his website. I may have to treat myself to a “COVID 19 “ piece of jewelry. Love it.
I love how you think, Carolyn
Wow, beautiful jewelry. My birthday is in September and now I know where to shop. I have a hard time choosing but the signature twin cuff is stunning. Thank you!
I would have to start with the Signature Large knock-out Studs…..just this earring would keep me busy for very long time with 13 different stones to choose from! And the fact that he is from Canada just makes me want to support a fellow Canadian 🙂
The mars mini drop gemstone necklace would be a perfect gift for my daughter who is a nurse working on front line. She deserves this piece of beauty! Thank you so much, Jennifer, for introducing us to this gifted designer. I bought earrings for my daughter and me today from his site. We need beauty especially now.
A beautiful collection. It was the Praia Pendant Necklace that caught my eye. The waterfall concept – the flow of life, happiness, living in the present moment. Thank you for showcasing a very talented artist and to offer this amazing opportunity to all of us.
I would LOVE to have the PRAIA PAVE BANGLES, as they are my daughter’s birthstone. I need to replace my “Life Stripes” that I sold to support us when my husband left us. David’s jewellery is lovely and beautiful. I will continue to shop his site.
Beautiful Jewelry! I would purchase the silver pave bar chain bracelet and knockout stud earrings.
Thanks for the giveaway.
What a wonderful discovery! I also collect jewelry as did my father who loved gifting it to my mother! Nothing brings more pleasure than to wear jewelry that someone you cherished once owned or gifted you. Dean Davidson has created timeless pieces that would be treasured gifts or heirloom pieces. I spied the stunning Maiko earrings. I would wear these unique timeless hoops and know I would not be forgotten by the granddaughter I chose to inherit them.
I don’t know if others have this problem with jumpsuits and when they’re advertised it’s never told how to disembark them to use the bathroom without having to fully undress? Anybody got a solution?
Such stunning pieces! I had no idea Dean Davidson is a Canadian designer, so thanks so much for doing this piece on him. My daughter is getting married, and I would love to give her the Ipanema earrings in gold and blue topaz: something new, and something blue! That is certainly what I would use the gift certificate for.
A lovely Canadian designer I did not know about. Well – there are a number of pieces I just put on my Christmas wish list lol. I think the first piece I would want to purchase is the Bamboo Gemstone Stud Earrings with the rainbow moonstone. Then I would move on to the Signature Knockout pieces because they would be wonderful everyday pieces. And then … I may be going down a rabbit hole here.
Oh my goodness! Everything that Dean Davidson designs is just lovely. I would be happy with any of his pieces. Thank you for sharing this with us all.
Thank you also, for your blog, which I look forward to reading each day. You have a great attitude towards everything and always seem to have a smile on your face. You have taught me a ton in the short period that I have followed you.
Stay safe and healthy!
Thanks Linda
Jennifer!! Thank you so much for enlightening me on this jewelry collection by Dean Davidson!! His designs are “amazeballs”!! I especially love the Ipanema earrings in the blue topaz. I was drawn to them immediately when I saw them on you!! So unique and unusual, as are many of his designs!! Thanks for this great introduction!!
I love supporting Canadian artists. Also–as I tell my husband, a woman can’t have too much jewelry. (Sorry I can’t enter the contest but I do not do Facebook. “Invention of the devil,” IMO.)
I would purchase the Praia Pave Hoops – so classic and elegant.
