My mission at Lucia De Fatima Arts is to create unique, and good quality jewellery, and beautiful and uplifting art.

I create pieces made from natural earthy materials that carry on the ancient tradition of wearing jewelry for healing, protection, and assistance in times of transition and transformation, and art as inspiration.

This is why my motto is,

“Lucia De Fatima Arts,

for Body & Soul."

I began my 1st  jewellery making business, The Tima Collection, in 1988 out of necessity and a creative urge. I was out of a job and I felt the need to work with my hands, a creative output that always relaxed and rejuvenated me at the same time. In 2024 I felt a need to lean into my painting and larger copper art work so I have renamed my business to reflect more of who I am.

I specialize in copper and semi-precious stone jewelry but incorporate other materials such as: feathers, shells, silver, brass, wire, dried flowers, coins, beads, found objects and image transfers. I have been transferring images onto my jewelry since the beginning of my career. One of the first jewelry lines I created is called "True Magic," and is made up of 45 symbols, all representing a positive quality. Many of the metal colouring processes used in this line are from years of trial and error and are one of the features that is very unique to my work. The designs are influenced by my interest in mythology, world religions, cultures and transpersonal psychology. The other jewelry line is called "Earth Magic," which came about from my interest in the healing properties of semi-precious stones.

The response I receive over and over again is "Wow! How different and beautiful!" There are literally hundreds of designs to choose from, ranging from $12 wire rings to $300 one of a kind pieces.  

I sell my jewelry through high quality craft shows and music festivals. I have some consignment locations in Peterborough and Newmarket, and you can order  here on this website.  I also sell my work at my pop up shop in the Art & Design district in Toronto from April to September. We "pop up" when the weather is nice.  If you follow me on social media this is where I announce when I am out there. I have a warehouse space in the back alley of the property where I am now live and work. I can now provide support to my elderly mother who lives across the street. My space is now called "Fatima In The Alley Music & Art Gallery " where I have regular music & art events.

Please visit often, as we will be adding new beautiful, hand-crafted pieces regularly. 

Thank you for visiting,

Sincerely, Lucya Almeida
