Spotlight on Foreshore Jewellers

Three friends - Hana, Denise and Celia - are the talented trio that makes up Foreshore Jewellers. Their journey started the first night at night class - where they realised that they had a real knack for making jewellery. Once hooked (some pun intended) they just started making jewellery out of various things around them. They recycle metal, rescue copper, and integrate bits and pieces they find along the beach.

Each piece is every bit as unique as the person who made it.
