Guelph: Gold rush

Spring’s love affair with all things golden may be the opulence we need to distract us from dreary economic times.  Luckily, a glint of gold does not have to be extravagantly priced.  It’s not about the cost–it’s about catching the eye, and adding something special to the season’s nude palette.

As a jewellery designer, Mandy Deskur knows all about eye-catching accessories and at her store, Macadi Jewellery (13 Mill Street East, Elora, 519-846-0116, macadijewellery.com), gold takes centre stage.

After getting her bachelor’s degree in visual arts, Deskur trained with a goldsmith and hasn’t looked back.  Rather than labouring to keep up with the trends, she creates timeless pieces that can be worn again and again. Gold and silver are the materials of choice for the designer’s pendants, bracelets, earrings and rings.  Deskur is working now on expanding her line into wedding and bridal pieces and if you’re looking for something completely unique, Macadi specializes in custom designed pieces.
