PERUSING IN PARADISE

Keep your memories of Bermuda alive long after you ’ve returned home by picking up treasures evocative of the island ’s sights, sweet scents, flavours, and more.

There’s no doubt about it: Bermuda’s idyllic location and stylish finds make it a retail paradise where you’ll find everything you are looking for — and more. When you think about a shopping destination, big cities like New York, London, or Paris come to mind. But with coastally curated, pink sand–inspired shopping, Bermuda has them beat. Even if you don’t intend to do more than window-shop, you’re likely to end up making a purchase — or a few — here.

On The Hunt In Hamilton

Begin your shopping excursion in the capital city of Hamilton, where picturesque colonial buildings make for a cheery commercial centre and a variety of dining and drinking options are ready to refuel you when you need a break from browsing.

Starting on Front Street, if you are looking for Bermuda-inspired adornments, Alexandra Mosher Studio Jewellery is the place to visit. Many of her jewellery creations incorporate Bermuda’s pink sand, giving travellers the opportunity to take a piece of Bermuda back home. You can even enjoy a champagne studio tour for a sneak peek into how each piece is made or book a VIP custom jewellery experience with Alexandra to design your own one-of-akind piece.

If you enjoy an intimate shopping experience, contact Walker Christopher Goldsmiths, where you can work one-onone with an associate in their Hamilton store’s private showroom. Walker Christopher showcases an excellent collection of authentic coins, including gold doubloons and silver pieces of eight salvaged from sunken galleons, as well as Greek and Roman coins dating from 400 BC, which are mounted in pendants, earrings, and cuff links.
