Patrons of Gallery Indigena are no stranger to Honica’s award- winning handmade jewellery, which are handmade in her studio in Victoria, British Columbia, and have been carried in our Stratford location for many years. The elements in Honica’s unique jewellery are hand- treated to achieve their unique colour and lustre, some process even takes up to three years!
“For the past thirty years, Honica’s passion has been jewellery. Always innovative, Honica’s award winning work has received fabulous reviews for many years and in many places.
In 1991, she was named Accessories Designer of the Year at western Canada’s prestigious Power and Passion Show. In 1988, her work was featured at the gala opening of the international theatrical production of Cats by Andrew Lloyd Webber. She was commissioned to design a jewellery piece for each of the five hundred gala dinner guests, each piece based on characters in the play.
Each piece of her work is unique and hand crafted. Honica works each metal piece, each spiral, each stone individually. Each piece of jewellery is an original design. Each one made for you, by hand.”
