Vancouver based jewellery design company Lemon Park takes a bold, modern and adventurous approach to their jewellery designs. Using beads and semi-precious stones that have been personally sourced and selected by the Lemon Park team, those who wear their jewellery can feel confident that they are wearing unique, hand-made pieces.

After years of working in places like Antarctica, Europe and Northern Canada, creator and designer Tania Gleave designed her first ‘Rocks’ necklace with stones that she had acquired during her travels. The story behind each necklace and its pieces is what makes Lemon Park’s jewellery so unique. Tania describes each of the pieces as items that speak of her “adventures working and traveling, collecting, trading and bartering in countries on every continent. The necklaces remind [her of the] stories and different people [she has] met along the way like three-dimensional journals.” With a BA in Asian Studies and Japanese, and a diploma in Textile Art and Design, all Tania needed was someone to help to kick start the business side of Lemon Park Design. This was an ideal situation as her sister Penny Gleave was looking for a change of career at that time and was searching for one that would satisfy her interest in business, fashion and design. Together, Tania and Penny Gleave created Lemon Park Design in the fall of 2006.

With the strong integrity of the materials used and the uniqueness of each of their handmade pieces, the success of Lemon Park has sky rocketed. Each of the elegant statement pieces are truly so versatile that they would be appropriate for almost any occasion, from a black tie party to even a simple dinner with friends. Both Tania and Penny agree that they “wear them everywhere.”

Brides are also popular clientele of Lemon Park jewellery as they often purchase necklaces for their wedding day along with earrings for their bridesmaids.
