Cape Breton ‘healing’ jewels head to Cannes Film Festival

Cape Breton artisan Lisa Lee of North Sydney, N.S., will showcase her line of “healing” gemstone jewellery at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

Lee is the founder and president of Lisa Young Lee Inc., which was featured in the Gifting Suite at the Golden Globes in Hollywood in January.

“I’m very excited,” said Lee. “I’m really grateful for the experiences.

“I had this vision of taking this company worldwide, and you have to find a way to get your product out there.”

Lee has designed all the necklaces and bracelets using gemstones that have been cleaned and hand-crafted by Reiki practitioners, who believe the hands-on Japanese technique promotes healing.

She presented The Shape of Water producer J. Miles Dale with a labradorite palm stone at the awards in January.

“He told me he was going to carry it in his pocket,” Lee said. “Well, he didn’t win a Golden Globe, but he won the Oscars!

“So I like to think that the stone helped him get the miracles he wanted!”

Lee started designing and making jewellery just two years ago and started selling her work online six months ago.

She said she spent her marketing budget on the trip to the Golden Globes and does not expect to travel to the south of France for the Cannes Film Festival, but she says her jewellery line is in good hands with Nathalie Dubois, who owns and hosts the DPA Gaura Cannes Gift Suite.
