Are there more flamingos than people on Bonaire? It's possible, and it's part of this unspoiled island's appeal. Bring your binoculars and your scuba gear to make the most of Bonaire's natural charms: more than 200 different species of birds live here, and the island itself draws divers from around the world to its reef-lined coast, a National Maritime Park.

Came off of a cruise ship in Bonaire on my birthday day for a walk around town. We came across this brilliant shop. I usually cannot wear toe post shoes, as I find them really uncomfortable, however, after these had been demonstrated to me and I had worn them around the shop, I found them so comfortable that I brought a set with two very different types of laces. I wore them for the rest of my cruise and received many compliments. Still happy with them on our return home

We discovered this place unexpectedly while scootering back to Kralendijk from Rincón. We were greeted warmly by Monique who made us feel welcome - and who was happy to provide background on her shop, her craft and the items on display. Interesting and original pieces of all types, sizes and price points. (We always try to bring back a pair of coffee mugs from each trip, so this was the place for us!)

This is a delightful store with so much to see!! The colours are amazing and make choosing your jewelry difficult as you want it all. All the jewelry is hand made and is dichroic glass. This means it has a multi layer coating placed on the glass by using a highly technical vacuum. When in the store you can pop into the back and watch the ladies/men at work. They are very helpful and informative. The prices are reasonable.
