Carisma

Carisma Collections is a Maltese jewellery and accessories brand with a strong gift focus. Its range runs from everyday gold-tone pieces and pearls to watches, leather bags and personalised items, and it is trading as Carisma Collections under company number C111804. The Iklin store, on Triq in-Naxxar in the village of L-Iklin, is the shop closest to the address in our directory. The Iklin shop sits between the central villages of Naxxar and Mosta, so it is convenient if you are touring the middle of the island by car, and the Mdina guide suggests a good day out nearby.

It is listed on VisitMalta.co.uk with other jewellery shops in Malta, which is useful if you want to compare places to buy a souvenir or a gift before you fly home.

Jewellery ranges

Jewellery covers stud and hoop earrings, bracelets and bangles, rings, necklaces, pendants and lockets, with essentials, permanent bracelets and demi-fine collections. Pieces are grouped into collections such as pearls, beaded jewellery, charm bracelets, anklets, crystals, birthstones, birth flowers, zodiac charms and religious pendants. Engravables and initials collections let you add a name or letter for a personal present. Fine-looking sets are sold as gift boxes, so a present arrives ready to give.

There are collections for men and for children, as well as a bridal collection, a furry best friend collection and gifts for particular people, from teachers and grandmothers to sisters and daughters. A gift guide also covers holy communion and confirmation, and presents under €30.

Maltese heritage collections

The most distinctive lines draw on the islands. Maltese Heritage Collections include a Maltese Cross range, the Blue Lagoon Collection, a Gozo Lace Collection, Maltese Tile and Maltese Lira designs, a traditional luzzu fishing boat range, the Neolithic Collection and a festa collection. Pieces like these make a considered souvenir. See our guides to the Blue Lagoon and the Knights of Malta for the stories behind the symbols.

Watches, leather goods and gifts

Beyond jewellery, the shop sells watches, jewellery boxes and gift vouchers, plus leather bags, belts, wallets, diary covers, scarves and laptop sleeves, with suede bags that can be personalised with embroidery. Pens, gift boxes and seasonal products such as advent calendars and a collectable Christmas bauble are also offered, along with graduation gift ideas.

Visitors staying in St Julian's can drop into the St George's Mall shop, and our hotels in Sliema and St Julian's page helps with where to stay. Gozo has its own store in Rabat, and our Gozo guide covers the island.

New collections and seasonal gifts

Recent launches include the Rossi Collection, described as made for the bold, and the Éloise canvas tote bag. Emi's suede bag has soft suede, signature gold-tone details and versatile straps, and can be made personal with embroidery. The leather laptop sleeve is made from genuine leather and comes in black, tan, white and pink, while the Pearl Romana pen comes in three colours with natural mother of pearl.

Seasonal ranges build up through the year. A graduation gift guide sits alongside four-day advent calendars with jewellery sets in a numbered gift box, and a limited-edition collectable Christmas bauble. For visitors, these ranges are an easy way to find a gift that looks special without a large budget, particularly when you shop in the lead-up to Christmas.
