Our Story
Made with Care. Priced with Honesty.
Unlocking Treasures was born from a passion for beautifully handcrafted jewellery that is as individual as the person wearing it. We work in sterling silver, gold fill, resin and more — incorporating precious and semi-precious stones and locally sourced seaglass from Seaham. Every piece is made by hand, and we believe great jewellery should be accessible to everyone. That's why we never inflate our prices only to discount them in sales — what you see is always our honest best price.
Our studio is in Darlington, and you'll also find us at markets and food festivals across the North of England — Durham, Newcastle, Sunderland, Hartlepool, York, Leeds and beyond. Follow us on social media to catch us near you.
