“Mel offers a fantastic choice of permanent bracelets (I've also had one as an anklet too), plus some beautiful handmade jewellery. She provided fantastic advice when I wasn't sure which to choose. Mel is a talented silversmith and she replaced a semi-precious stone my daughter had lost from a ring. …”

“Awesome! Four of us travelled from Newcastle to see Melissa and we were not disappointed. What a brilliant service and atmosphere. Melissa couldn't have been more helpful and let us have as long as we needed to decide, she made sure we were all happy, even resizing one for us after fitting it. Thank…”

“Wow what an amazingly talented lady, who’s years of experience with jewellery truly shows in everything she does. I adore my bracelets and ring and I can’t wait to go back for more. If you are looking to get any permanent jewellery this is the lady to see, I couldn’t recommend her enough ❤️”

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.
