There鈥檚 a new kid on the block in Fort 91原创, and a fashionable one at that.

Shine Jewellery and Accessories has joined the runway of funky boutiques and restaurants lining Glover Road.

Specializing in contemporary costume jewelry, owner Marcia Duncan strives to bring in distinctive, stylish pieces at affordable prices.

鈥淲e will only try to get no more than five of each item,鈥� she said. 鈥淓verything is very unique.

鈥淎nd we try to get the statement pieces so that the women are wearing pieces that are a little bit different than everyone else.鈥�

Shine celebrated the grand opening of their retail store July 1, after operating as a wholesaler in the same location for three years.

Duncan says it was the social aspect of communicating with customers that drew her to open a store front.

鈥淚鈥檓 really social and I thought that I would like to do more of that. So we decided to give the retail store a try,鈥� she said.

So far, feedback from the community has been very positive.

Residents from Bedford Landing to ladies from the Red Hat Society and small children have all stopped in and expressed their excitement for the sparkling pieces in the new store.

鈥淚鈥檝e really discovered that there鈥檚 no age limit anymore to jewelry,鈥� said Duncan. 鈥淚t鈥檚 for any woman from 15 to 60 really. Even kids love it.鈥�

Working with wholesalers and manufactures in the United States, each piece of Shine jewelry is under $40.

Duncan has brought in a wide variety of chunky cuffs, beaded earrings and stretchable rings that fit any finger. She has yet to order doubles of any item, meaning that all the pieces she is currently carrying truly are unique in the area.

鈥淩ight now we only have 鈥榦nesies鈥� because we want to see what Fort 91原创 is looking for,鈥� she said.

The cozy little shop is a perfect fit in the Fort 91原创 scene, with a stark contrast of black and white walls, paired with crystal chandeliers and large mirrors to reflect the sparkle of the pieces.

Duncan has also embraced the quirkiness of the Fort 91原创 area into their grand opening special. If a train goes by while a customer is in the store, they get 10 per cent off their purchase.

鈥淚nstead of the ice cream truck for the women it鈥檚 going to be the train,鈥� she jokes.

She also offers a loyalty program where customers who buy nine items will get the tenth one free.
