Isber works with vintage uncirculated beads and chains, Swarovski crystals, and semi-precious gems mined in Canada to create one-of-a-kind pieces inspired by the provinces and territories. A blue waterfall neck-piece for Banff, Alberta; and a bangle of multi-coloured leaves for Vancouver Island; a multi-coloured strand of beads representing Quebec flair. Isber’s pieces are joyful, colourful, and truly like glittery bits of candy. -Kelly Gadzala
