Gone are the days of wearing jewelry just because it's pretty. Don't you want it to have meaning, to make a difference, too?

Tamara Kronis, Chief Goldsmith, Gemmologist and Jewelry Designer of Studio1098 creates custom and unique jewelry, using intriguing and rare gems in a sustainable, socially responsible way.

That means that her stunning collections (I can't stop looking at Vintage-Inspired Engagement Rings, so handsome, propose already) include conflict-free, Canadian diamonds that are responsibly mined, cut and polished in Canada.

That thoughtfulness extends to her Wishbones for CANFAR Collection, where she is donating a signifcant portion of the proceeds to CANFAR - the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research.

The gorgeous line includes pendants - small and large - on delicate, yet sturdy chains, and cufflinks that are lightweight but still have good heft to them. Choose from sterling silver, gold, white gold (pictured), platinum, diamond pavé,  and an accent of gemstones and diamonds if you like.
