A shop in Bournemouth has reopened after being empty since the Covid lockdown.
The unit on Avenue Road, which used to be a Yellow Buses ticket office, is now home to The Island, the first physical shop from the handmade jewellery brand Pineapple Island.
The shop, which opened on June 15, features jewellery made in Indonesia, hand-knotted by makers in Bali and Java who have been working with the brand for years.
The collection includes the brand's well-known beaded and knotted designs, as well as newer ranges in stainless steel and real pearl.

Customers can also book forever jewellery, a permanent welded chain service for people who never want to take their jewellery off.
The shop also offers jewellery-making sessions, where customers can create their own piece to take home the same day.
The Island is currently open Wednesday to Sunday, 11am to 7pm, and Monday and Tuesday, 11am to 4pm.
Opening hours may change depending on popularity.
Pineapple Island has been making jewellery since 2008, and the new shop aims to reflect the same vibe as the jewellery.
The shop has been empty for more than six years before it was transformed by Pineapple Island.
