Parksville,  BC  

My name is Teresa Carrao. I moved from Harrison Hot Springs to Parksville on Vancouver Island in 2021. I absolutely love it here; one of the many reasons is because of the vast array of markets to join in on…I have been making jewelry for about 9 years now, started off small but it has been a real passion of mine. I shop every winter in Quartzsite and Tucson, Arizona. I wire-wrap with square and half round sterling silver wire using semi-precious gemstones from all over the world, some of my favourites are Larimar, turquoise and rhodochrosite. I look forward to meeting the tourists and locals of Nanaimo.
