Sherman jewellery is beloved by Canadian collectors and for good reason. The materials were top notch and have stood the test of time, with Swarovski stones and thick plating. (If you would like to learn more about Sherman, I co-wrote a book with Sandra Caldwell. Contact me to purchase.)

This piece is one of my favourite Sherman designs. It’s well made – black plating (known as japanning) sets off the clear crystal stones and pear shaped white glass pearls to perfection. And I may indeed have worn it to dinner at our local bistro for NYE because why not?

It feels like the perfect glittery way to welcome in the new year.

Wishing all the best to you and yours for 2025.
