| ABOUT |
Seabreeze Silver was opened in December 2008 by Renate Sommer who is passionate about silver and it’s place in the adornment of the body. Renate studied under the late Christopher Headley Neave at O’Halloran Hill CFE in the late 70s. It took around 30 years of working on jewellery part-time and working in offices the rest of the time before she ended up on the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula and finally found the time to give her passion 100% of her time. Christopher Neave started the Silver Shop in the Old Clarenden Winery in 1980 and Renate was associated with this from the start, mainly as the Sunday shopminder. She supplied jewellery on consignment to this establishment until it closed its doors in 2007 under the management of Cassandra Nitschke. Some of the jewellers involved with the Silver Shop are now selling their work through Seabreeze Silver include William Neave (son of Christopher Neave) Melissa Puust, Yvonne Nelson, Christine Pyman, and Cassandra Nitschke. Renate Sommer’s dream for Seabreeze Silver is to have it provide a showcase and outlet for world class quality handcrafted silver jewellery made right here in South Australia. |
