Jewelry with a Soul,

My Story
I am madly in love with my work! All I want to do all day long is work on my jewelry and my other creations. So much so that when it’s time to go to sleep at night, it can be quite sad for me to part from my work table!
I was always passionate about wearing jewelry, but I began making them myself some years ago when I couldn’t find pieces that I loved anywhere. Up until last year, I was only making jewelry for myself, but my friend Aby E (who is a jeweller) really liked my work and encouraged me to have a show showcasing and selling my work. The title of my show was “All About Pearls” since my main pieces were mostly with pearls, and it was a big success. With the encouragement and support I felt from that show, I decided to have an online store.
My business is entirely led by myself. It is purely me designing and making every piece. Working with my hands and creating is a need for my being; before becoming a mom of 3, I had graduated from École Des Beaux Arts De Dijon in France with a specialization in sculpture.
At the end of the day, I am still making jewelry as if it were for myself. I rarely do something to simply please others or for the sake of trends. I have to love the work myself and feel beautiful when wearing it. With that in mind, the majority of the pieces are one of a kind, made with gems and beads I have collected throughout the years; rarely will you find multiples of the same piece from me. In addition to many of my jewelry pieces including reworked or recycled items, the pieces are crafted and packed with sustainability in mind, without any plastic packaging or excess waste.
Each of my works carries so much passion and love within it that I know it will bring joy to the wearer.
