| - I didn't quite know what to expect when I went to Anice yesterday for the Yelp elite Canada made event. I think there's a certain perception most people have with a "handmade" piece of jewelry, perhaps that it often looks handmade, rough, unfinished, unpolished, etc. I certainly had some of those perceptions when I found out we were going to make our own piece ourselves.
Anice makes it really easy to design and create your very own unique piece of jewelry, be it for yourself or for a loved one. The style is completely up to you. I was really taken back by their extensive choices in beads, jewels, metals, chains, etc.
I personally have made my own jewelry before (in my teens), one of the hardest things I found about that was sourcing good quality materials, and not in bulk as most stores will sell them. I just ended up with a bunch of material that was low quality and expensive. Anice has things like solid gold and plated chains, real semi-precious stones (not colour dyed) as well as reused materials which can be a cool unique touch. You buy just what you need, you make the jewelry on the spot and you don't need to invest in your own materials and tools....What's not amazing about this concept?!
I really recommend going if you love unique jewelry and have an itch to make your own. The prices are very reasonable and they work with you to create something within your budget.
The staff are the greatest bunch of ladies you can come by. Truly your DIY-jewelry-fairy-god-mothers waiting for you to walk through the door.
