I also meet a lot of local artists in my line of work, and working in the design district and all, I know some of Toronto's best designers.
When I received an email yesterday that jewellery designer Rita Tesolin had extended her sample sale, I broke down and popped in.


Some of the pieces, as you can see here, have a retro vibe to them.
Some are more classic in tone - like a multi-strand of pearls - but they all have a funk factor.

Her studio is at
63 Wingold Ave., suite 110 on the main floor 416-784-1221 www.ritatesolin.com
I couldn't really afford even a $100 necklace, but I did see a piece for $50 that drew my eye ....

This gold chain is a vintage 1970s Nina Ricci chain, and Rita has fastened these darling stone hearts to it.
The chain is amazing. So heavy. I love the rock n' roll vibe the chain puts out combined with the sweetie-pie hearts. Cool paradox.
I was going to wear it to the LG Innovators' Ball tonight, but once I mentioned it to Rita she loaned me a gorgeous piece with matching ring from her Fall 2010 collection (not pictured here as it's not on sale)!
I feel like such a diva!

Maybe I'll try to snap of pic of me wearing it tonight - the one I'm wearing was apparently donned by artist Jully Black in a recent video!
