Made You Look Jewelry Stores

— May 29, 2008 — Fashion

Made You Look features a retail area in the front where jewelers can display and sell their wares, as well as a craft area with 12 work benches which are rented out and available 24/7 for live, in-house creation, whenever the creative urge strikes.

The store, which recently opened Made You Look Accessories across the street, sells handmade jewelry from over 100 Canadian artists. This diverse mix of contributors leads some really eclectic pieces like the credit card necklace featured. The eco-friendly necklace by Thera Ip is actually made of real, cut-up credit cards.
