The gift of tulips. Each May, millions of tulips bloom in Ottawa, where a historic gift of tulips came to symbolize international friendship. These tulips of thanks inspired our fifth Sparkle of the Heart coin, which features a jewellery-like take on the spring blooms that form a powerful expression of gratitude and love. Composition 99.99% pure silver with a Fire and Ice?? diamond set in a Dancing Diamond?? mount and selective yellow gold plating. Weight 20.86 g. Diameter 30.06 mm. Packaging Black clamshell with black beauty box. Artist Anna Bucciarelli (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse). Some of the most spectacular tulip displays can be found each May in the National Capital Region (Ottawa-Gatineau), where the Canadian Tulip Festival attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. Since 1953, the festival celebrates a historic gift of tulips that have come to symbolize the enduring friendship between Canada and the Netherlands. After the Second World War, the Dutch royal family sent 100,000 tulip bulbs to Ottawa in gratitude for Canada’s role in the Liberation of the Netherlands, and for having sheltered the future Queen Juliana and her family-including Princess Margriet, who was born in Ottawa in 1943 and attended the festival in 2022-during the war. That initial royal gift became an annual tradition, and today, over a million colourful tulips bloom in flowers beds and parks across Ottawa. Enhanced with selective gold plating, your coin’s reverse features an engraved floral design by Canadian artist Anna Bucciarelli. Depicted in various stages of bloom, the stylized tulips and the foliage that form each heart shape are arranged in a circle to represent never-ending love. At the centre of the coin, a Canadian Fire and IceTM diamond is set in a tulip-themed Dancing DiamondTM mount fashioned by Canadian-owned and operated Beverly Hills Jewellers. The selectively gold-plated 3D diamond cage features an oval-shaped opening that provides a view of the precious stone and its every movement. The engraved floral arrangement repeats on the coin’s obverse, which features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, along with the text’CANADA’, a face value of’20 DOLLARS’ and the year’2023′. Stylized tulips in different stages of bloom are arranged around the diamond symbolizing a never-ending circle of life. The continuous flow through each flowering stages, from a tulip bud to a fully opened flower, represents the full cycle of growth and rebirth-it’s a reminder of the cyclical nature of the universe, its continuous renewal and transformation. When engraving a Sparkle of the Heart coin, you have to work closely with the engineer and the supplier to ensure the Dancing Diamond cage mount is integrated perfectly with the engraving. I find floral designs very satisfying to sculpt; this design, with its series of entwined tulips, was great fun to realize, and it beautifully complements the Dancing Diamond cage. Overall, this was one of the highlights for me this year!
