Kailis Pearls: You don't have to spend a fortune

    Jewels from the sea
    by TheWanderingCamel
    The name Kailis is synonymous with the pearling industry in Western Australia and their Fremantle shop is the place to see their beautiful pearls in a welcoming and elegant setting. The staff here are lovely and are always very happy to welcome browsers and shoppers alike. They'll not only show you the stunning jewellery here but also a short video about pearl production and to talk to you about all aspects of pearls and their care.

    South Sea pearls, as Australian pearls are known, are the most beautiful and lustrous pearls in the world. A perfect strand will cost a king's ransom, but you can own something lovely for far less. You can buy a single large, perfect pearl to wear on its own at a price that starts around A$1000 but there are many small pieces made from both seeded and natural (keshi) pearls that cost hundreds rather than thousands of dollars. Alternatively, you could buy a butter knife or little spoon carved from pearl shell. These make super presents and really unique souvenirs - you may even find one that has a tiny, nascent pearl forming under the shimmering mother of pearl. There are cards of real mother-of-pearl buttons for even less, so anyone can own a little piece of these most romantic treasure from the deep.

    $10 - $100,000+++

    Creative Native stocks a wide range of authentic aboriginal arts and crafts. I visited the shop twice and spent a long time there looking through the beautiful aboriginal paintings, digeridoos and souvenirs. Everything is very well displayed and it's worth a visit even if you're not thinking of shopping.

    I bought most of my souvenirs from here. Amongst other things, I chose an umbrella and tie with Aboriginal designs. I also bought keychains and a beautiful boomerang which did come back :-)

    A little more than average.

    Looking at the sunshades in
    Freo markets.
    by Purpleshade, 3 more photos
    The Markets in Fremantle are open Friday 9am - 9pm, Saturday 9am - 5pm, Sunday 10am - 5pm. Monday Public Holidays 10am - 5pm.
    It's a delightful place to wander around even if you don't intend to buy anything. There's loads and loads of hand made items of all types, eg. silver jewellry set with local gemstones, original design clothes, paintings, pottery, trinkets, toys, candles, local souveniers etc. You will also find antiques, sheepskin and leather goods, fresh baked bread cakes and pastries, coffee ground to order, gourmet take-away food stalls, and a pub.
    There's always buskers and a lively atmosphere.
    The markets are usually referred to in the plural, as the fruit and vegetable market is right next door. Also a local fresh fish/shell fish shop which has it's supplies straight from the fishing boats.
    It also sells fish and chips.

    The markets are perfect for gift shopping.

    Fremantle sardines are lovely. They are much larger than tined sardines. Available from the market shop, and in some restaurants, usually filleted and fried in breadcrumbs.

    Prices range enormously depending on what you buy.

    There are a number of stores selling Aboriginal art and instruments especially around the streets near the Round House. The Didgeridoo`s are the wind instruments of the Aboriginal people.

    While there are the usual chain stores and a shopping mall, Fremantle is more about the small unique stores. Many of them reflect the large community of artists in the area.

    Freemantle Market: Anything and everything

  • I just loved this colourful market, packed with bric a brac, antiques, food, clothes, in fact everything you could think of. Ok some of the stalls sold crap, but the atmosphere is wonderful and the market itself is very Victorian. Street entertainment outside if you fancy sitting and having a coffee.

    Friday 9 - 9pm Saturday 9 - 5pm, Sunday 10 - 5pm and Monday on public holidays.
