ELFENATELIER

Elfenatelier, “the studio of the fairy’s”, is a charming shop in the centre of Wilsele (Louvain), a centuries-old university town in the heart of Belgium. Also in fashion town Antwerp, Elfenatelier opened up A division. In the very beginning, the Belgian owner Un-Roen Manarata, who is of Thai origin, established a little store for creative hobbies, filled with a wide range of fairy statues. However, it was above all the little amount of pearls that contributed to the shop’s success. People from all over the country discovered the shiny valuables and made her increase her stock of beads.

Something to be proud of!
"An own jewel is something to be proud of", says Un-Roen. "It is lovely when people ask you where you bought this great piece of jewelry and to tell them you made it all by yourself. It is so much more unique and personal then a necklace you buy in a regular store. On top of that, you can buy exclusive SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS for a very reasonable price." Clients feel comfortable immediately, as they are welcomed with a little tray of reed with white plates to put the pearls on. As they wander between the shelves full of glitters, a professional seller can always provide them with all the information they need.
In Elfenatelier, you can really live your life with a bright SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS smile!

Offered Swarovski product assortment
More then 15.000 different pearls!
Nowadays, Elfenatelier offers a unique collection of 15.000 different types of pearls that Un-Roen found all over the world. You can buy wooden, glass, metal and silver beads, sweet water pearls, seed beads and many more, but especially the stock of SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS is breathtaking. They glitter and glamour among cute and well-chosen home accessories, individually designed jewelry accessories as well as paper and statues. The fairy-look is still very present in this tastefully designed store.

Further offered Services
Workshops and jewelry for books!
Un-Roen Manarata feels that it is important to make people discover the possibilities of the shiny SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS and organizes workshops on a regular basis on the first floor of her shop in Wilsele, but also in her shop in Antwerp. She teaches groups to make moldable rings of Art Clay Silver, brooches of felt and, above all, arty jewelry with exclusive SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS. She is no ordinary instructor as she teaches about the making of jewelry in the United States of America (at Beads & Buttons, Milwaukee) and in Belgium. Furthermore, she wrote, edited and published 2 books: ElfenSieraden 1 & 2 (Fairy Jewelry 1 & 2), but she has also made a few fine pieces for the CREATE your STYLE "Design Expressions from Brazil & Russia" Inspiration book. The representatives of Swarovski noticed her qualities as a teacher and appreciated the perfect presentation of the necklaces made of SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS in the store. Therefore, they granted Elfenatelier the title of ‘Recommended Store’ (the 13th shop in the World and the first and only one of the Benelux).
Meanwhile, Un-Roen Manarata, became an Ambassador for Swarovski Elements. She designs a lot of jewelry, with Swarovski Elements. She sells these designs and patterns in her shop, for all those who are interested in learning and appreciating new designs and techniques.
