Co-owner Darci Ilich’s beautiful home is featured in the November issue of Canadian House and Home magazine. Her home is a stunning beach side townhouse and here you can see it decked out for the holidays!
Such a bright and fresh, yet cozy Christmas feel. And can you believe it actually SNOWED on the day of the photo shoot! Such luck. Everything is available at The Cross of course! Thanks Darci and we can’t wait for the Christmas Party at your house this year!
DECK THE CROSS!! We will be decorating the shop for Christmas this weekend, so make sure you pop by next week and take a peek at our displays! Can’t wait to see you all!

The Cross has been a fan of Amanda Vogler for years {she also happens to be my beautiful and talented sister!}. Her delicate designs have captivated the hearts of many and keep them coming back for the latest of her stunning designs on a regular basis.
INTERVIEW:
TC-How long have you been designing jewellery?
AV-It’s been 10 years professionally now.
TC-How have your designs changed over the years?
AV-I love making simple and delicate pieces, but my work has definitely become more detailed and intricate over the years. I sometimes like to re-introduce some pieces from past collections, simply because they are timeless and classic.
TC-From where do you draw inspiration for your collections?
AV-Inspiration comes to me through fashion, nature and mostly the gemstones themselves. The gemstones that I use have to be very high quality. Nothing inspires me less than poor quality gemstones, I won’t use them.
TC-How do you balance motherhood and your business?
AV-Not particularly well unfortunately! I focus my days on my family and when I have time to myself I often make a break for some retail therapy or catch up with friends, therefore I often find myself working late into the night. Time management is my biggest challenge…It’s something that I need to work on!
TC-In what direction do you see your collection going?
AV-The way it has always gone, a natural evolution in style that isn’t forced, I think that’s how my jewellery remains classic. Eventually I would love to make gorgeous rings.
