Dianne has been creating jewelry since childhood, starting with her first bag of beads at age 7. A self-taught designer, she finds great fulfillment in working with her hands to craft meaningful pieces.

In 2009, Dianne earned her professional certification in gemmology (FCGmA) from the Canadian Gemmological Association. She later completed the prestigious jewelry appraising program at the California Institute of Jewelry Training in 2010 (master valuer MV).

In 2021, she opened a shop and studio in her hometown of Arnprior, where she enjoys showcasing high-quality, handmade, local artwork. 'Our motto is "handmade, local, different," and every item reflects one or more of these qualities. I adore making things. I can't stop! I love shaping materials into something that could become someone's favorite piece.' – Dianne"
