About Iceland
Iceland is a refreshingly unconventional travel destination. The Icelandic nature is unspoilt, exotic and mystical with its spouting geysers, active volcanoes, tumbling waterfalls, towering mountains, vast lava plains and magical lakes. Iceland’s fjords, glaciers and highland plains present visitors with some of the most beautiful and enchanting places they will ever see, as well as a rare feeling of utter tranquillity.

For travelers on a quest for action, Iceland’s pristine nature offers great potential for outdoor activities such as snowmobiling, horse riding, cave exploring, hiking, swimming, skiing, river rafting, kayaking and mountain safaris on modified four-wheel drives, to name but a few. Iceland supports a surprisingly diverse Nordic flora and fauna and is an ideal place for ornithology enthusiasts, while also offering some of the world’s best whale watching destinations.

About Reykjavik
Reykjavík sometimes feels like a cosmopolitan capital and a tiny seaside village - all wrapped up in one. But Reykjavík has the best of both worlds; the qualities of a modern, forward-looking society complemented by a close connection to Iceland‚s beautiful and unspoilt nature.

Reykjavík’s legendary nightlife is bolstered by plentiful cultural and social happenings in addition to an abundance of first-class restaurants. The size of Reykjavik city centre is also limited enough to allow for easy navigation by foot. Reykjavík has been described as a young and daring city that is characterized by strong contrasts. Conveniently small, clean and safe, it is more or less free from the major problems that haunt many other capitals. Big city events are frequent, the winter lights festival finished recently with thousands of participants and more tourist at this time of the year than we are used to.

Fríða Thomas

On Brattagata 3a lies a somewhat hidden jewel. Literally, since this is the only street in Reykjavik not featured on maps. But the effort to locate this mystery street, just across Ingólfstorg, is well worth it – Fríða Thomas’s store brims over with colourful jewellery.

After 5 years of working as a jewellery designer in Copenhagen, Thomas returned to Iceland and set up a store providing a range of handmade and one-of-a-kind jewellery at affordable prices. It can truly be said that anyone can find pieces to suit their taste here, with customers’ ages stretching from 13 to 95.

Thomas herself enjoys working with semi-precious stones and their special qualities, saying that it is quite obvious that customers don’t choose stones – the stones rather choose them. The material she uses ranges from Icelandic stones to Chinese coral, from plastic spangles to wooden beads. Neither are her designs confined to any one style, they range from big necklaces and earrings - for those who want to make a statement - to smaller pieces for her more discrete customers. For those on the lookout for their ideal piece of jewellery, Thomas regularly designs jewellery by order.

Apart from Thomas’s own designs, the store offers glassware by Pia Rakel Sverrisdóttir. Thomas will be the sole provider and designer of jewellery for Hégómi, the gay theatre, and will provide all stage jewellery for the theatre’s participation in events on the big stage during the Gay Pride festival in August.

Visit Fríða Thomas to feast your eyes on an explosion of colours and designs, or for a custom-made piece of jewellery – at surprisingly affordable prices. You can also check out the website at www.fridathomas.com.
