Love Medals was created by artist and founder Talia Tanaka to celebrate courage, connection, and love in all its forms. Each piece is a meaningful symbol of recognition – a keepsake to honour those facing or overcoming adversity, or a gift to oneself as a reminder of inner strength and resilience. Designed in Victoria, BC, every Love Medal is brought to life with care, intention, and heartfelt blessings. More than jewellery, these are tributes to love’s enduring power to heal, unite, and inspire.

Born and raised in Sooke, BC, Jill Warne’s creativity has always been inspired by the nature and spirit of southern Vancouver Island. She studied visual arts at Camosun College and then completed a degree in History and English Literature.
Working predominantly in acrylics, Jill studied painting and focused mainly on west coast landscapes as inspiration.
In 2017, while looking to challenge herself by working in new media, Jill found polymer clay as an interesting alternative, and began to apply some of the style and techniques she had developed, in landscape painting, to layering and creating depth in miniature clay creations based on familiar locations, such as Whiffin Spit and Sombrio Beach.

Learning metal work came next and West Coast Cameos was formed. Drawing from her childhood home and love of the west coast environment, Jill then created collections also inspired by local floral and fauna. Jill has worked to represent the beauty and soul of her island home.

I’m in awe when I’m gathering.
I gather sprigs of trees, tender bits of moss, intricate fern tips from local forest floors or the remarkable shells, driftwood and ocean botanicals left behind on our beautiful British Columbia coastline. My pieces are made with recycled .960 silver, and .925 sterling silver. Each piece is hand finished to imperfect perfection. A darkened patina enhances the exquisite details made by nature. Each piece holds connection to our rugged and wild British Columbia Coast.

Since 2004, Linda Rajotte has been creating her west coast inspired wearable art. She weaves, textures and forms silver to make individual, unique pieces. The ocean and the symmetry of nature provide inspiration for her. Linda has used many other mediums in her life to express her artistic talents, however, exploring the unique properties of silver, copper and now gold dominates her life in art.

Linda’s mathematical background has influenced her distinct designs. Logarithmic spirals found in nature such as ammonite fossils, shells, and sunflowers are a constant theme. All her pieces are made by hand so they carry within them the energy she uses to create

Her jewellery has been described as being original, elegant and while it has a very personal feel – inasmuch as her jewellery is an extension of her as a person – it also conveys a strong sense of its eventual wearer.
