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!

Wow! Such a unique and beautiful collection, it’s really hard to to have just one favorite! I really love all the pieces you modeled and so many more, but I think my favorite favorite is the Ipanema earrings with laboradite… or blue topaz… or rainbow moonstone — I still can’t decide! And the Oragami link bracelet and Infinity drop earrings with pearls are so elegant and timeless, I have to say those get equal love! Thank you for introducing us to this beautiful collection!
Absolutely beautiful jewelry! Thank you for introducing us to this designer. After drooling over many items on the website, I suppose the Origami Infinity Chain in Gold and Pearl would be my choice–but what a tough choice it is to say just one piece! I adore the Lagos Collection as well the Mar Collection!
Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for having this opportunity to win a $250 gift certificate for Dean Davidson’s jewelry collection. I have gone to his website several times to review his collection thinking that I may be able to win a piece or two. I love the unique designs that I am sure will be timeless pieces to any woman’s jewelry collection.
If I won the gift certificate, I would select either the Rainbow Moonstone or Labradorite Bamboo Gemstone Studs. I only wear stud earrings, and I find the bamboo details surrounding the stone adds that ethnic detail I love in my jewelry.
Thank you, again, for this opportunity, and thank you for your fashion blog that is focussed on my age contemporaries who value our wisdom that only comes through living life.
I’d buy the PRAIA PAVE HOOPS. I need a new pair of hoops and I love the addition of the beautiful aquamarine stones.
I was not familiar with Dean Davidson jewelry but now love it all! Hard to pick what I would choose if I won the gift card (I am not a lucky winner). I found myself going back to the jewelry you highlighted in your post as seeing it on you, how you styled it, and why you love it helps me decide if I would like it. This is what I find valuable in following you and have learned so much! So I would choose the Ipanema earrings, the Origami Infinity in pearl and add in the Lagos Frame pendant, each in that lovely brushed gold. Thank you, Jennifer
Hello, Jennifer!
Thank you for sharing your world, style, and wonderful thoughts and information with us. I’ve learned a lot from you!
I visited Dean Davidson’s FB and website. His jewelry is very tasteful and simple, yet makes a huge statement at the same time. I would purchase the mini stud earrings…one pair for me and one pair for my sister 😊
Cheers!
Hi Jennifer, I recently started following your blog and I’m really enjoying the content you’ve shared. You are an inspiration and an integral part of my continuing journey to improve myself and bring more joy and happiness to my life.
Thank you for the introduction to Dean Davidson jewelry, is so beautiful. I would buy the Statement necklace in gold. It’s so versatile and I would wear it frequently. I could also add charms and wear it like a pendant necklace. I have recently started to wear less beaded costume type chunky jewelry and have been buying more fine jewelry. I’m just not a dainty multi layered necklace type of gal. The larger gauge chain link necklaces suit me perfectly!
I would buy the Signature Knockout Bracelet in Gold and Black Onyx. The reason I would choose this item is because I can wear this with casual or more formal attire and it would not look out of place.
I love the SAKURA CRAWLER EARRINGS in Turquoise/Blue Topaz. They are so delicate and unique.
I would get the MAR GEMSTONE MINI DROP PENDANT NECKLACE in Labradorite for my best friend. This is her colour.
What a delight to become acquainted with Dean Davidson and his jewelry. With the collections’ organic, creative, yet somewhat classic styles, I found so much to like. The Mar gemstone mini drop earrings in gold/blue topaz would be a wonderful addition to my dressing. Thanks again for the encouragement to connect with Dean Davidson. Continued good health and enjoy the precious time with your daughter.
Hi Jennifer, I love the burgundy jumpsuit on you, that color makes you glow. I’m trying to get up the nerve to try one! I enjoyed seeing Dean Davidson’s Jewelry Collection. Such an organic sense of style that is totally timeless, elegant and modern too, but I noticed thoughtful details in the design, like the backs of the signature midi knockout studs so they would fit right. This would be my first choice as an introduction to this amazing collection, it is something I would wear all week with confidence! Thanks for sharing this and so many other inspiring things with us.
What a wonderful designer and such classic pieces! I ordered the Midi Knockout Studs in Labradorite and Gold and can’t wait to wear them. Thanks to you and Dean for the discount code! If I won the certificate, I would buy the Ipanema Earrings. They are understated and elegant. Just wearing them would brighten my day. I think the virus has caused us to stop and reflect on the simple things that bring us joy and happiness.
It has certainly caused me to stop and reflect on that.
Love this beautiful jewelry collection. I would love to have the Signature pave triple drop earrings for my collection of jewelry.
