Welcome to Amherst Island

Amherst Island is located in Lake Ontario west of Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The island is part of Loyalist Township in Lennox and Addington County. Amherst Island is located about 3 kilometres (2 mi) offshore from the rest of Loyalist Township and access to the island is by way of the Frontenac II ferry from Millhaven.

The main population centre on the island is the village of Stella, which is the where the ferry lands on the island side. Harrowsmith Country Life  declared the island’s local hamlet, Stella, as one of the “prettiest towns in Canada”.

New Work: Statement 1.5" diameter circular pendant from the Ebony & Ivory Collection. Not ebony. Not ivory. Freehand flameworked and etched glass with embedded fine silver, inspired by an antique piano. Pictured with a thick, hand-hammered, bright sterling silver neck ring, this one of a kind piece also comes with a complimentary 33" sterling silver rolo chain. This pendant can be worn just below the nape of the neck or just below the chest. The reverse side is a continuation of the design, not a duplicate, adding to its allure and versatility. Now available for purchase, along with seven other brand new one of a kind statement pendants handmade on Amherst Island Ontario Canada by award winning glass artist Darlene Martin-Stuart, who is back behind the torch creating new and innovative art glass in 2023 after a three year hiatus.
