A handcrafted gemstone jewellery workshop and shop on Church Street in Akaroa, where crystals, gemstones and pearls from around the world are brought back to a workshop in the town. Fire & Ice describes itself as a specialist in handcrafted gemstone jewellery and aromatherapy essential oils, and its website says its retail shop is a showcase of colour, light and fragrance. The stock includes sterling silver pendants, stud earrings and rings set with blue topaz, amethyst, citrine, ruby and London blue topaz, along with gold vermeil and 14ct gold-filled pieces. The website says all items are in stock and ready for immediate dispatch, rings can be resized to the buyer's requirements, and there is a return and refund policy.
A distinctive piece in the range is a sterling silver pendant with a New Zealand blue pearl grown in local paua shellfish, which shows green and gold colours with hints of pink and blue, set with a round blue topaz accent. The shop also stocks freshwater mussel pearl studs, and the website describes its knowledgeable staff as there to help with enquiries. Fire & Ice also stocks a memoir, My Soul Remembers, by Margy Morris.
