Hidden Gems: Pebbles Jewellery

GLITTERING gold, shimmering silver, opulent precious stones and colourful semi-precious rocks. Ever since the first caveman decided to impress the girls by stringing shells together, we've been gripped by a love affair with jewellery.

The high street has for long been our saviour when it comes to getting that jewellery fix. While bracelets, bangles, cuffs, necklaces, rings and earrings of all shapes and sizes imaginable are available in an instant en masse, they're hardly one of a kind and don't ooze individuality. Which is where Pebbles Jewellery comes in.

The Jeffrey Street boutique is a haven for contemporary and unique jewellery, and has quickly garnered a reputation as the ultimate place to buy altogether different statement designs.

There's an inspiring selection of unusual pendants, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings for both women and men.

As well as silver, gold and platinum, the shop sells aluminium, titanium, steel, leather, acrylic, silicon, diamonds and pearls.

Pebbles also sells wedding jewellery ... and there's not a single mass-produced item in sight.
