The owners, Melanie and Anton, also worked on cruise ships before starting their business in Collingwood. Anton is from Indonesia, which is where many of the items in the store are from.

Topaz Swarovski Crystal Earrings

I made up this style of earring when I was experimenting one day. I love the way they fall. These one are finished with Swarovski crystal beads. These are the only man-made crystals I use because I love the way they catch the light. After making so many of this style of earring I have now perfected my technique and this pair is my most perfect! I'm very proud of them.

Spring is here!


Spring is here, let's celebrate! I originally made these four necklaces for kids but they look nice on adults as well, for a fun, youthful look. Great for the spring and summer.

Red Agate and Silver Necklace

Another new necklace. This one uses Red Agate beads and silver wire to link then and make the spirals. Red Agate is one of my favourite gemstones because of the different colours and patterns in each bead and how they look different in different lighting.
