AN established Victorian Market business has just moved from the Market Hall into the busier Queensgate Arcade.
Pat Bloczynski, who runs Aeternum, said she was hoping the move would attract more customers.
The shop specialises in a range of products including: rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, ambermoda, linen, baby bracelets, amber trees, glassware and handmade felts.
Ms Bloczynski said: “Our ethos is handcrafted goods from around the world made from natural materials, that includes Baltic Amber crafts and jewellery from Poland and Lithuania.”
She also sources shawls and scarves from Broughty Ferry, Two Skies Real Leaves jewellery from Fife and Harris Tweed crafts made in Inverness by Castlehill Crafts.
“It’s lovely to have some really good designers,” she said. “They are quite expensive but the products are quite amazing.”
Ms Bloczynski had been in the Market Hall for the past three years and she opened the new outlet on Friday.
She said: “We started moving a couple of weeks ago.
“We were looking for new premises for quite a few months because we knew what was going to happen in the Market Hall.
“It’s a beautiful shop and it gives us scope for what we want to do.”
Ms Bloczynski said the shop had a nicer atmosphere and the amber possessed a lot of “healing energy”.
She said they had safety measures in place and added: “Actually we haven’t had to give people masks because most people have them. Now we’ve got the bigger shop, we haven’t had problems.”
