Sheena, like many, teaches English in Japan. But in her spare time, she creates something very unique – personal, customized, artistic jewellery. After studying jewellery design at university in Nova Scotia, Canada, and a brief stint teaching in Spain (where she picked up her favorite technique for making jewellery, sand casting), she ended up in Japan. Now, she sells her jewellery, which can be bought at Carlinee in Daimyo, Mille Bisous in Nishijin, shops in Vancouver, Canada, and through her website. She is inspired by daily life, body language, and behavior, and is more than happy to take custom orders. Prices start from ¥2,000. Check out her site, http://sheenajewellery.myexpose.com/
