TOR: A Local Gem

(Jun.05.09)
We sometimes have trouble remembering numbers. Forgetting our friend's digits? Inconvenient. Forgetting how many years we've been married? Apparently unforgivable.
We're being saved from future embarrassment by Tamara Kronis of Tamara Designs (an award-winning gemologist, designer and metalsmith based out of Toronto) with the cleverly created notched Anniversary Band ($225). The ring is customizable with the number of years we want to commemorate (and then updated annually).
If you're not at the anniversary stage yet, it's worth browsing Tamara's selection of wedding and engagement rings, plus her broad collection of non-relationship-related jewellery. She works mainly with gold, platinum and sterling silver, incorporating diamonds and gemstones across her unique designs.
Our eyes were instantly drawn to the Flower ring ($415), a wearable art piece (if you don't mind two tiny silver blossoms sprouting from your finger). Although it can be sticker-shock-inducing, we can't help but love the stunning web of 18k white gold with multi-coloured sapphires and diamonds that make up the Rhapsody Necklace ($8,950).
Many of her designs are customizable, and we can schedule private appointments to work with Tamara to create custom jewellery (or we might just copy this creative engagement ring).
Now we just need Tamara to inscribe our anniversary date on our ring as well (seems we're supposed to remember that, too).
