NEWTWIST

NEWTWIST sells unique, hand-crafted designer jewelry and artisan housewares, with pieces from a range of independent artists such as Jamie Joseph, Erica Molinari, Rene Escobar and Victoria Cunningham. The jewelry runs from leather and sterling silver to diamonds and platinum, and the shop also carries handbags, pottery, hand-blown glass, stainless steel flatware and hand-crafted furniture, including lines from Michael Aram and Sugarboo.

The business is family-owned and has been run by Colleen Stangeland since 2000. Its shop is at Eugene's Fifth Street Public Market, and the online store ships across the U.S., with free shipping on orders over $50. Shoppers can also get tax-free purchases from anywhere in the country, and the team can be reached by phone or email for questions.
