Well the Christmas season is behind us, with an exciting New Year ahead. We're taking a little break in the sunny south now, mind you the shop is open in our absence, so you can call or email if you have any questions.
Even on holiday, it's fun to see what the local jewellery designers are doing. We've been particularly lucky this year to meet a fabulous lady who has been collecting jewellery here for decades, and is now selling her collection to raise money for the children in this town. I've bought a lovely hand wrought necklace in sterling silver, circa 1930 with all the Mexican assay marks , and a sterling with black enamel & copper inlay bracelet, circa 1950 that I'm just thrilled with. It makes you realize the place jewellery holds around the world as an expression of local culture and art - and we feel very privileged to be a part of that community in our own small way.
Best Regards & Happy New Year,
Tannis & Ian
