FAQs

Do you have a catalogue?
This is a question often asked of us. No we don’t have a catalogue. Our range is huge and we specialize in antique and old jewellery pieces and elements. It would be impossible to print a catalogue. We have over 10,000 different types of beads in stock from Africa, India and the Himalaya. The only way to see this collection is to visit the Gallery in Noosa.
We have without doubt the best collection in Australia.
Can I make a phone / mail order?
Yes. Just ring us on 07-5449 7988 Noosa. Of course you need to know what you want .We do not send out or email photographs of products, nor do we have a catalogue.
Do you have a shop in Sydney or Melbourne?
No, nor are we ever likely to. We are a small company, and small is often beautiful. It is in our case. You will just have to come to Noosa! It could be worse!!
Do you repair jewellery? 
Yes we restring jewellery at $60/h plus materials. We do not solder rings or pendants; we do not resize rings or knot pearls. We can repair most beaded jewellery and in many cases solve other jewellery related problems. If we can’t fix it we will know someone who can.

Do you hold advanced or speciality classes?
Yes we conduct one on one classes for people wishing to learn skills.  Please call us to arrange a time.
Who makes the jewellery?
Eva designs the majority of the jewellery, but there are also pieces designed by all the girls, and Simon makes the most feminine and beautiful jewellery (when time permits, that is not often), and his pieces sell first.
What do you consider antique?
The Macquarie dictionary definition of antique is 1. Belonging to former times as contrasted with modern. 2. Dating from an early period. 5. An object of art of furniture of a former period.
The above definition gives no definitive age. We use the Adjective Antique, exactly in the terms above to describe an item of obvious age or an artefact belonging to former times.
A certified antique must be over 100 years of age and the provenance (where and or whom it came from) known. This form of antiquity authentication is mainly used by auction houses.
