Sistaco jewellery is ugly, oversized, heavy, old fashioned and looks like cheap costume jewellery. The cheap inferior metal used gave my skin a nasty rash within minutes and I had to take it off. The link on their necklace broke as soon as I took it out of the packet.

I was attracted by the beautiful and unusual jewellery display in an aisle at the Westfield Shopping centre. The young salesgirl allowed me to inspect, ask questions and try on without pressure to buy. I returned after further shopping and finally decided on a piece for my daughter, I not only received it beautifully wrapped a $10 voucher for future online purchase and promise to replace if my daughter didn't like it. Sistaco donates funds to empowering women in Mozambique to start businesses, Variety, Leukaemia Foundation and the Mater Hospital. And the jewellery is so affordable as well as being crowd stoppers.
