In June the contents of the shop and workshop were packed up and moved around the corner into a much larger shop on Hythe’s High Street. While the address has changed, the values that have built this business – personal service and quality – remain exactly the same. e move enables Luis Lui to not only showcase their existing stock but allows them to explore new product ranges and o er cra a ernoons in the future. Luis Liu means ‘for the delight of the eye’ and the new shop certainly lives up to its name with a beautiful array of genuine gemstone products on o er, from handmade jewellery and strung gemstones for your own creations to tumbling stones, rough gemstones and carved animal ornaments. e talented ladies in the shop hand make the jewellery on sale, with earrings starting from just £3.50 a pair. As well as their readymade pieces, they are happy to create bespoke pieces and can restring and repair your existing jewellery, just pop in and have a chat. If you enjoy making jewellery yourself, Luis Lui stocks jewellery ndings, cords, charms and gemstone beads. If you don’t have the skills to create your own jewellery, Luis Lui will be introducing small group jewellery making classes in the future. e larger space has also allowed Luis Lui to expand their product range to now include incense sticks and holders and essential oils and burners. Once the workshop is set up at the back of the shop they plan to make and sell their own range of candles. Luis Lui can be found at the top of Hythe High Street opposite e Herald o ce.
