Christine Smalley
Inspiring jewelry designer
I founded Etelage (French for adornment) in 2002, fueled with a passion for women to exude their notable and authentic style through jewellery. Etelage is an inspiring online creative tool box selling beads and jewellery. With retail stores formerly in Newtown and Cronulla Etelage moved 100% online in 2015 and has recreated that instore retail experience of inspiration, knowledge and passion.
" I observe that generally as a society we are becoming more mindful about our choices: conscious of choosing products which are made using artisan traditions and not mass produced, and seeking quality over quantity. So it is with that philosophy that I share my skills and knowledge of jewellery design to encourage all my students to awaken their creative soul and seek beauty, slow, artisan and local.
My goal always is to create a teaching environment where participants can share ideas, be inspired and let their imaginations run wild! With over 15 years teaching experience I am dedicated to empowering my students to become better designers and better makers, equipping them with skills and confidence to create whatever my students dream!
I look forward to meeting you in class."

For Earring Duo & Stylists Secrets Workshop
By Katty Fisher (attended on 12 Jan 2019)
The class was absolutely amazing. The Venue was great, clean tidy environment which was easy to find on the busy Main Street. Christine provided us with all the tools, great materials and guidance whenever we needed and she gave equal time to each of the students. We were also provided with afternoon tea and sparkling water in the class so it was a relaxing experience. It was a great value for money as I managed to make 3 pairs of earrings that I’m really happy with. Thank you!

This was such a great class, I really enjoyed making two pairs of unique earrings and learning a new creative skill! Chris was so friendly and taught earring making techniques really well and inspired us with lots of earring designs. Highly recommend!
For Beaded Jewellery Basics Workshop
By Anne Gray (attended on 6 Jun 2018)
Chris was well organised, friendly and a good instructor. She taught me how to make a beaded choker, a beaded necklace and two sets of earrings. I was able to choose the colour scheme for both projects. The venue in Rozelle was easy to get to. I will definitely be using my newly acquired skills to make jewellery for family and friends
