I am so incredibly honored to share that I’ve been named a ~Best Jewellery Designer~ nominee by

To be recognized among such a talented group of designers truly means the world to me. I feel so grateful to stand alongside such incredible talent in our industry, and I want to send a huge congratulations to all my fellow nominees—it’s a privilege to be in your company.

For this nomination, I really wanted to showcase a piece that represents my love for movement and storytelling: my Asymmetric Emerald & Diamond Pendant.

When I designed this piece, my goal was to create something that felt fluid and alive. I nestled a vivid pear-cut emerald asymmetrically within an open 18K yellow gold teardrop frame to create a sense of balance that isn’t static. To give the piece its signature glow, I added a cascading cluster of marquise, pear, and round brilliant diamonds along the inner curve. I love how the light shifts and dances with every movement, making the piece feel dynamic whenever it’s worn.

I am so thankful for the support of the Vancouver community and the jewelry industry as a whole as I continue this journey.

Thank you to everyone who has followed my work - today is a great day!

We swear it’s just the diamonds talking. 💎💎💎

Look, we know this isn’t our usual “refined artisan” vibe, but let’s be real—it’s been one of those days at the studio. When the stones are this good and the coffee kicks in, things get a little… industrial. 🛠️⚡️

Consider this your official PSA from Zadel:
• Highly addictive. Side effects may include excessive sparkling. ✨
• Our kind of ‘natural’ high. 💎
• Pure, uncut... and 100% ethically sourced.
• Warning: Once you start, you can’t stop at just one stones

We’re back to our professional selves tomorrow (probably), but for now, we’re just high on carats and craftsmanship. ✌️

A ring worn for forty years carries a lifetime of stories, but even the most cherished heirlooms eventually need a new lease on life.

Our client wanted to honor her original design while evolving its story, so we reimagined her piece for the 21st century.

This restoration was totally done by hand to create custom baskets for a new oval diamond and integrated a modern Toi et Moi silhouette, all while reinforcing the band for another lifetime of wear.

Heirloom restoration is more than a repair; it is a revival of the heart. We believe jewellery should grow alongside you, preserving your history while celebrating your future.

Every love story is unique, and designing this breathtaking engagement ring for the amazing couple B&B was a beautiful reminder of that. 💍❤️

From the very first consultation, we felt the magic of their connection. Involving both partners in the process honors their bond and ensures that each detail reflects their shared journey. It brings us joy to see the recipient knowing they are truly heard, easing the anxiety of the giver that can often accompany such a meaningful decision of “did I get it right?”

This design is all about stepping into the power of the beauty this ring holds. One of the special touches is the euro-shank (squared-off shank), which not only provides comfort and eliminates the top heaviness but also adds a modern edge to its elegance. It’s little details like this that transform a piece of jewelry into a treasured symbol of love.

In ‘B’s’ words:
“I just wanted to reach out and say absolutely how much I love my ring. The work you did on it is outstanding and I literally could not be happier!”

We are filled with gratitude and wish you both much love and congratulations on this special milestone. 🙏🏻

While we cherish the opportunity to collaborate with couples as they embark on this beautiful journey together, I always strive to preserve that enchanting element of surprise. As a true sentimentalist, I gently guide the process by involving the receiving partner only to a certain extent, ensuring that the proposal remains a heartfelt and romantic moment. It’s this delicate balance that makes the experience all the more special, allowing love to shine through every detail.

If you’re dreaming of your own love journey, we would be honored to help you craft something truly special. Let’s embark on this adventure together.

I look forward to sharing laughter and excitement as we create a piece that tells your story! 💖✨
