GISFT OF THE EARTH




GIFTS OF THE EARTH

ALVIN THERIAULT & ANGELIQUE CEJKA WRITE…

ALVIN WRITES, ‘For as long as I can remember, I have experienced a strong connection with nature, animals and the outdoors. My fascination with rocks led me to countless days of walking the rivers and mountains in search of interesting stones, lightning wood and other unique pieces which we would one day, embody as elements in our jewelry designs.

From ammolite hunting on the banks of The Old Man River to Shiva Shell collecting on the ocean shores of Malaysia or digging opals in Mexico all bring excitement and enlightenment to our designs. The flowing rivers, the falling leaves in autumn, the radiant sunsets over the windswept ocean all provide inspiration in our One-of-a-kind pieces’.

ANGELIQUE CEJKA

ANGELIQUE WRITES, ’From the time I was a little girl I often dreamed of creating beautiful jewelry. And it wasn\’t till many years later after meeting Alvin that my passion for jewelry was re-ignited. We discovered our shared enthusiasm for stones and designing.
The first day we met (at a mutual friend\’s) Alvin had been out rock collecting and was eagerly polishing his stones. >From that day onward a strong bond was formed between us and through our combined efforts and creative flair we began AA SilverWorks.

We truly live and breathe designs on an almost daily basis. We\’re dedicated to creating jewelry that is of high-quality and yet affordable. We have transformed our passion for design into a flourishing venture and we believe our success can be attributed to our distinctive, wearable designs and our love of what we do….’
