New Arrivals: RARE


For nearly a year, we've been stocking jewelry by Calgary's Rachel Gillet, a local designer whose reputation for producing quality, re-worked, one-of-a-kind pieces has grown immensely since we began carrying her work in early '09. Need proof ? If you look closely at the latest cover of avenue magazine, you'll see a piece by Rachel around the neck of CBC news anchor; Nirmala Naidoo. 

Below are some brand-new pieces by Rachel, which are available in-store now. Also, as we've mentioned here before, Rachel only produces one of every piece, making her work very unique.
