**XIA’S BOUTIQUE**

Owner Malee’s obsession with all things gemstone, silver jewelry and accessories led her to create Xia’s Boutique in 2019. Her business is named after her late Grandmother Xia who entered into eternal life in 2015. She and her husband Lao manage the business together in her memory. They provide carefully handcrafted, unique pieces particularly from Southeast Asian countries, including India which are not sold at your local jewelry store. With the language barrier, distance barrier, and prolonged delivery time, her vision for Xia’s Boutique is to bridge the gap between the innovating native artisan and local consumer across the world. ***www.xiasboutique.com***
