Bibelot {beeb-uh-loh} "small object of curiosity, rarity or beauty"

Bibelot first opened on February 4, 2010 in Calgary Alberta, and is co-owned by Alisha Browne-Wint and Harlen Dziuba. Bibelot has quickly become a place where you can find unique one of a kind jewellery and Accessories from around the world.

Alisha and Harlen both hope that Bibelot will fill a void that has been left empty in Calgary for far too long with the unique and classic pieces featured in their boutique. Their primary goal is to provide the women of Calgary and afar with handmade, high quality luxuries that will be treasured for years to come.

They want to have any woman at any demographic to be able to enter their boutique, find something they wish to buy and treasure it for years to come, whether it be a $45.00 pair of earrings to the $1000.00 +statement piece. Alisha and Harlen sincerely hope that their hand selected treasures featured at Bibelot will become one you will treasure for years to come.

"Bibelot is a Jewellery and Accessories boutique unlike any other. Each item found at Bibelot has been crafted with the utmost attention to care, quality and detail. Each and every item at Bibelot is your very own treasure waiting to be discovered..."

About Alisha

Alisha creates the bulk of the Jewellery and a smattering of the Accessories found at Bibelot. Alisha started creating Jewellery at the age of 13 and has been doing so ever since, the only thing that has changed is the quality of the materials she has chosen to work with.Largely self taught she has always welcomed help and advice from more experienced individuals and the wealth of knowledge shared through books. However her greatest learning and development of her skills has come from trial and error and as she puts it "wasting a lot of metal". Throughout this process Alisha has been able to grow and challenge herself in ways that perhaps a conventional learning environment would not have allowed her to do. Alisha's hope for each item that she creates is that it will become a favored and highly coveted family heirloom to be treasured and worn.

About Harlen

Harlen is the muscle and will also be taking up the 3d model and prototype fabrication aspect. Harlen's background of expertise is in mechanical design, where he was often required to come up with new ideas and design large scale prototypes. He's taken a different turn and has gotten into the jewellery design aspect of things. His keen eye for design and detail has become a welcome and much needed.

Some Fun Facts about Harlen and Alisha

  • Harlen is from Saskatchewan and grew up on a farm.
  • Harlen can fix almost anything....
  • Alisha loves dogs especially Great Danes...
  • Alisha played the trumpet in a marching band..

  • Opening Night!

    We finally opened on February 4, 2010 to a wonderful party and positive reception. Many people including family and friends came out to support us on opening night. Our hearts were warmed to see everyone come out on a cold winter's night. Right up until the last moment Harlen and I were painting and cleaning in a mad frenzy to be prepared for opening night. Harlen worked through the night and around the clock for 10 days to get the boutique ready for it's big debut. We're pleased to say it all went off with a few minor hitches.

Two pairs of earrings with a specially messaged price tags were hidden somewhere in the boutique and the lucky person who found a pair got to keep for free! the treasure hunt was well received, I just hope that more people show up next year and perhaps Harlen's birthday will be celebrated in the same way too....
