About Benée Rubin and Dean Kennedy
The jewelry and ornaments handmade
by Rubin Kennedy Designs are born out of a love of
beauty. The work has grown with two aims: the creation of
gorgeous things, and giving back to their community.
Benée

over twenty years' experience in the jewelry industry. She
was trained by international award winning Swiss jewelry designer

beautiful and extravagant pieces of fine jewelry in both platinum

Benée has developed an international
client list that flocks to her for her unique designs and
stellar workmanship. She has operated Designs By Benée
successfully for over a dozen years in Vancouver, on the lush
raincoast of British Columbia in Canada, and continues to
create one-of-a-kind pieces on commission for her discriminating
clientèle.
Michael
Dean is a Canadian Jewelry Designer who has spent the
past 25 years developing his skills in building and designing
fine jewelry. In 1985 Michael Dean established his company
Michael Dean Design, specializing in custom design work and
hand-crafted jewelry. He has successfully cultivated a devoted

input from the client, to fabrication, and the final steps
of setting the gemstones and finishing. He prides himself
on his attention to detail and quality for all of his jewelry
creations. He features Canadian Polar Bear Diamonds in many
of his designs because of their exceptional cut and quality.
