*Athletes Reach for the Silver – and Accessorize in Winning Style!*

* *

With all eyes focussed on B.C. this February, Vanvcouver-area Denise
Relke’s hand-crafted, sports-themed silver jewellery is a must-have for
anyone visiting the province this winter. This athlete-turned-jewellery
maker’s story is in itself, positively Olympian!

They say that every cloud has a silver lining, and in the case of Denise
Relke, this was almost quite literally true. When this avid runner’s
broken ankle forced her to take it easy, she filled some of her
newly-found spare time with a silversmithing night class – and fell in
love with the art form. In true marathoner fashion, she focused on the
long recovery road ahead, and to remind herself that she would once
again run, she used her newly found skills to fashion a unique
running-themed pendant…and quickly garnered herself some fans within her
running group.

One thing led to another and she was soon crafting bespoke designs for
some of her running circle. As Sporty Jewels’ reputation grew, so did
the assortment of jewellery she designed, and soon she was embracing a
multitude of sports and an ever-growing group of sports enthusiasts as fans.

Denise explains/, "I decided I wanted to create some jewellery that
would represent the passion of sport. At first it was just for me but
now I'm thrilled to share my designs with everyone from the recreational
sports fan to the Olympic level athlete. We think everyone deserves to
celebrate their accomplishments with some jewellery and Sporty Jewels is
striving to do just that."/

The Sporty Jewels (www.sportyjewels.com <http://www.sportyjewels.com/>)
line of jewellery now encompasses everything from rings, pendants and
earrings to bracelets, cufflinks and even belly jewels. The range also
uses a modern sterling silver alloy that is extremely tarnish resistant
and perfect for the athlete in your life – whether it’s that special
somebody or the one inside you. This advanced technology maintains its
luster for long periods of time and requires only an occasional wipe
with a soft cloth to remove any smudges – a perfect fit for hard-working
athletes that want to sport a little extra sparkle. These distinctive
works of art are also available in 14kt gold, and serve as perfectly
wearable mementos of special events you’d like to commemorate in a
special way by going that extra mile.

The Sporty Jewels have also started developing a following amongst
athletes of the highest order, we're pleased to have provided pieces to
Olympic medal winners Silken Laumann, Carol Huynh, Catriona LeMay Doan
and triathlete Simon Whitfield. With the games and athletes set to
entertain fans around the world in February, these exclusive jewellery
items are about to garner some fans of their own. Sporty Jewels are
available for purchase at selected athletics retailers in Vancouver as
well as online through the website <http://www.sportyjewels.com/> – and
for once it’s the silver that an athlete wants!
