Christine Smalley, a jewellery designer established Etelage (French for adornment) in 2002.

Etelage offers an eclectic range of beautiful beads, from community fair trade and eco to vintage and collectables, all personally sourced globally.
Join weekly creative jewellery workshops & indulge the designer within!

A bespoke collection of jewellery is designed and made in the studio using a mix of vintage and contemporary beads to create quirky, eclectic and unique designs.

“Olga and Millies” a vintage store upstairs is named after Christine’s great grandmother and offers European and locally sourced jewellery, hand bags and frocks from the 1920s to 1980s. Wearing bespoke vintage clothing and unique accessories is fun, individual and sustainable.

Our Vision

Is to share our passion for adornment by offering you an appreciation for beautiful aesthetics that have meaning and value in culture and a story with each innovative piece. Support our fair trade, eco and sustainability values by purchasing community trade African ceramic beads, South American nut pendants and vintage components and jewellery. New W German 1960s Lucite beads available now. Be quick!

Where are we located?

Newtown is a vibrant, creative and diverse precinct and is just 3 rail stops from the city of Sydney and 10 minutes from the airport. (Etelage is a short walk left from Newtown railway station, next door to Caramba South America Gallery and opp All Buttons Great and Small).

We are open 7 days.

If you've got any feedback about our new store please send us an email, info@etelege.com.

We stock over 5000 lines so it is impossible to display everything. Email your requests. We would love to help you find the perfect piece.


The Etelage staff would like to wish all our customers a happy and safe Christmas and New Year.
