Sixfoot & Salty
Great local store filled with beautifully handcrafted local jewellery and trinkets. Extensive range, perfect for gifts or the premium souvenir for your trip to Cairns. Very reasonable prices and has a tiny art gallery. Worth a visit

I recently purchased several pieces from UnderArt Gallery, and was thrilled with the craftsmanship of the pieces purchased. They are exquisite — every detail feels intentional, every texture tells a story. What truly sets UnderArt apart is the emotional resonance of their work.

A bit late with this review but better than never. Walked to this shop 20/8 pm after a trip to the outer reef where I googled their website for some earrings on the way back. Lady working that day was lovely. Took me straight to the jellyfish earrings I had seen on line & pointed me towards other sterling silver models in their Aquatic collection. Love them! So different. Thank you.

We literally stumbled across UnderArt Gallery and were stopped in our tracks. We had searched for a standout piece of artwork for a few years, with nothing particular in mind, knowing that the right piece would find us.

This is such a lovely shop. Such a wide variety of unique art and jewellery, all for a reasonable price too! (Not like other jewellers in Cairns). Bobby was so friendly and helped me choose a chain that was right for me. Super friendly atmosphere, AC was on my favourite temperature, and the smell from the soaps was to die for. Long live Under Art Gallery!!!!
