A little piece of our story 🤎
Our journey with the Tasmanian Craft Fair, from 1989 to today.
It all started in 1989
Christo first exhibited at the fair in 1989, before life took Christo to NSW. Ten years later Christo returned to Tasmania with Mel and they brought Rare and Beautiful back to the fair in 2003, sharing our creations for several wonderful years.
Growing alongside our family
Then came our two boys, and we took a little break to enjoy family life. In 2016, we returned to Deloraine with our boys by our side. We’ve been back every year since, and it has become such a special part of our story.
So much more than just a fair
There’s something special about Deloraine. From the beautiful Mersey River and historic buildings to the kind-hearted, interesting people, it’s a place we love returning to. Over the years, we’ve made friendships we treasure and look forward to catching up with familiar faces each time.
Inspired by Tasmania, made by us, we were one of the first Tasmanian jewellers to use and promote the wonderful gemstones Tasmania produces.
We’ve always been passionate about creating something truly unique with Tasmanian gemstones we find, cut and transform into jewellery. Every piece reflects years of experience, a love of our island and the joy of making something by hand.
This year, we’re bringing beautiful new designs and some spectacular pieces featuring Killiecrankie diamonds that Christo and Bruni discovered during two months on Flinders Island earlier this year. We can’t wait to share them with you.
Over the years, we’ve seen others draw inspiration from our designs and ideas, but we remain confident that our jewellery speaks for itself. We take immense pride in creating handmade pieces that people love to wear and treasure
See you soon, Deloraine! 🤎
Seeing our handmade jewellery out in the world is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. Thank you for supporting our little family business and being part of our journey.
