Relish Studio & Gallery — Attraction in Millcreek Township

Visiting this locally-owned gift shop in Erie is always a highlight of my trips. Jen (the owner) is a talented jeweler and metalsmith and creates handcrafted designs that are simply gorgeous. Their beach glass jewelry is all created at the store and really well-crafted with most of the glass sourced from the shores of Lake Erie. Some is even hand-signed The owner is incredibly knowledgeable about beach glass, and you can feel her passion and expertise in every piece she creates.

In addition to the beach glass jewelry, they curate a collection of high-quality, handcrafted items—absolutely no cheap imports from overseas, which makes shopping here feel even more special. During my recent visit, Jen went above and beyond by cleaning a piece of beach glass jewelry I was wearing from a past purchase, which was such a thoughtful and unexpected treat!

She also offered to customize a necklace I was eyeing, adjusting the length to perfectly complement the necklines I typically wear.

Her personal touch didn’t end there—she helped me select a beautiful gift for my daughter who goes to school at Allegheny, thoughtfully considering her eye and hair color, as well as her wardrobe palette. The care and attention she puts into her shop and customers are unmatched.

If you’re ever in Erie, make sure to stop by this incredible gift shop. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience, and I never leave without finding something extraordinary to take...

I have a seaglass ring, set in gold, which was made by one of my favorite jewelers, who lives and works in Scotland. I had commissioned this ring with a piece of seaglass I found on the California coastline. I loved the ring, but sadly the seaglass fell out and was lost. It wasn’t practical to mail the ring back to Scotland for repair, so I consulted a local jewelry shop. The jeweler wasn’t confident he’d be able to repair it and said it would be an expensive repair. I was sad to hear this as I loved the ring and wanted to wear it again. A quick Google search sent me to Relish. I liked what I saw and read on their website, so I sent an email. Jennifer responded quickly, and after sending some pictures and messaging a bit, I decided to take a chance. I mailed my ring and hoped for the best. Jennifer communicated throughout the whole process, repaired my ring for much less than I expected, and did an absolutely beautiful job!! I was thrilled! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Relish, and hope to visit one day. Thank you, Jennifer! You knocked it out...

My daughter, Maya, passed away in October 2017 after a 6 1/2 year battle with leukemia. Over Christmas my family decided to take a Caribbean cruise to change things up and try to find some joy amidst the sadness. While on the beach in the Bahamas my other daughter stumbled upon a beautiful blue piece of blue sea glass. Maya's favorite color was blue, we took it as a "Maya Wink", a sign from our girl. When we got home I posted the piece on Facebook and a friend mentioned Relish Inc. and that they make the most beautiful jewelry out of sea glass. After looking at their stunning pieces online I called them and asked if they could create a dragonfly necklace in Maya's memory using the piece of sea glass we found. They obliged and I was thrilled with the result....
