Hello from Melbourne, Australia, a hip little city of great electro, art and fashion!

I'm Christine Rice, designer and owner of Hexotica.

I am originally from Atlanta, Georgia, U.S., but moved here 9 years ago unintentionally whilst backpacking when I fell in love with Melbourne. Since then I've found my calling pursuing my second passion (the first is literature) in costume jewelry.
I have been crafting jewelry since my childhood, having sold my first bracelet at age 7, so I have over 27 years experience in addition to 8 years in the wholesale jewelry industry as an assembler. I have assembled accessories and fascinators that were sold to boutiques such as Allanah Hill, Kookai, Bardot, Sportgirl and many other boutique clothing stores across Australia, so you can rest assured the quality of my products is up to the standards of these well-known retailers.
I currently stock Faster Pussycat in Sydney and Melbourne, The Lockworks, and VnV Boutique.
It is my greatest joys to create beautiful pieces and share them with others for a special occasion, a fabulous costume, or a memorable evening out on the town. I enjoy making things people can collect and cherish the way I adore my own extensive jewelry collection, from exotic foreign countries to the local garage sale; every piece has a special meaning for me.

Please go to my blog for details on where you may find more Hexotica creations if you like what you find here.
