Dear Kilani Jewellery,
I’ve admired Kilani’s work since your 2022 partnership with the Toronto Raptors. Your team has been making incredible jewellery, to put it mildly. Your pieces consistently blend technical skill with bold creative vision in a way I find incredibly exciting—from large custom pieces to the beautifully crafted charms and chains available on your website.
I’m graduating in May 2025 with a Bachelor of Design in Jewellery and Metalsmithing from OCAD University, where I’ve developed a well-rounded understanding of jewellery methods and practices. Digital design, however, is where I truly excel. I’ve been working with Rhino 8 for three years, using it to create everything from jewellery and lamps to replacement parts for old furniture. I’m also training in MatrixGold to further refine my CAD skills.
I’m eager to bring this technical expertise and creative passion to your team and help push the boundaries of what’s possible in jewellery design, while staying true to Kilani’s unique vision. Thank you for considering my application. I’d love to discuss how my skills and experience can be of value to your group. All the best,
Simone
