A MUST-stop for handmade jewelry, sold by wonderful people.
Christina Douka Jewellery的点评
点评:If you’re in Chania, you HAVE to stop here - the handmade jewelry is beautiful, and better, there are options for everyone (both in style & price!). The shop is a total breath of fresh air among the mass-produced-trinket shops of touristy Chania. We’d almost given up when we wandered across this shop!
The kind woman showed me the stunning gold ring from the window, which had drawn me into the shop originally. Sadly, it was too small - she offered to resize it for me OR even make something in the same style, if we had time! But we were only in Chania for another hour. :(
So she gathered all the rings in my size…and found me a beautiful chrysoprase ring I loved even more. She then explained to us what the stone’s name meant in Greek and taught us that the local drink, raki, is absolutely delicious. :)
We also asked her what other local Chania/Crete items we could buy before we left. She thought about it - REALLY thought! - and then gave us a TON of great ideas that ended up being perfect.
Side note: When we walked in, she was in the middle of telling a little girl - one of the many, many kids you see forced to play music/ask for money around the harbor - that she “didn’t have to work, because she just was a child.”
Just so nice to support a local business that makes beautiful things AND cares about their community. Faith in humanity restored.
翻译:如果你在干尼亚,你必须在这里停下来 - 手工制作的珠宝很漂亮,而且更好,每个人都有选择(款式和价格!)。这家商店在旅游观光的哈尼亚的大量生产的小饰品商店中完全呼吸新鲜空气。当我们徘徊在这家商店时,我们几乎放弃了!
这位好心的女士从橱窗里给我看了那枚令人惊艳的金戒指,这枚戒指最初是吸引我进店的。可悲的是,它太小了——如果我们有时间,她愿意为我调整它的大小,或者甚至做一些同样风格的东西!但我们只在干尼亚停留了一个小时。 :(
所以她收集了我所有尺寸的戒指……并为我找到了一个我更喜欢的漂亮的绿玉髓戒指。然后她向我们解释了石头名称在希腊语中的含义,并告诉我们当地的饮料 raki 绝对美味。 :)
在我们离开之前,我们还询问了她我们还可以购买哪些当地干尼亚/克里特岛的物品。她想了想——真的想了! - 然后给了我们一大堆最终变得完美的好主意。
旁注:当我们走进去时,她正在告诉一个小女孩——你看到的许多孩子中的一个被迫在港口附近播放音乐/要钱——她“不必工作,因为她还是个孩子。”
非常高兴能够支持一家制造美丽事物并关心社区的本地企业。对人类的信心恢复了。
