“Criss-Cross”
Two-strand leather bracelets with a magnetic clasp
This minimalist yet chic leather bracelet is handcrafted with very high quality leather from Italy, in several different colors. It is very delicate and will complement a pair of jeans and a t-shirt or a more sophisticated outfit.
The antique silver finish clasp is a magnetic clasp made of Zamak, with a floral embossed print resembling a Celtic symbol. Clever, functional and very strong.
“Paperclip”
Gold-filled paperclip chain, with or without carabiner or push-gate rings and lovely pendants
Trendy necklaces made with paperclip chain, gold plated or gold filled depending on the model. #neckmess
“Carabiner Lock” chokers
Gold-filled carabiner lock and semi-precious stone bead chokers
These 16″ chokers are handcrafted with the finest semi-precious stone beads and embellished with a lovely carabiner screw lock, working as both a focal point and a clasp.
“Serenity”
Small semi-precious stone beads and a gold-filled clasp with charms
These 30″ or 32″ long beaded necklaces are the perfect addition to any outfit. The small carabiner, sailor’s clasp, push-gate ring or clicker ring is sleek and functional: it doubles as the clasp, not just the focal point.
Wear this look alone, or stack your favorite charms and pendants to express yourself and create a unique look!
“Hoops”
Leather and brushed gold-plated hoop earrings
Depending on the leather used, these gorgeous earrings can be either very Southwestern or very New York.
They are made of genuine leather, grainy or hair-on, on a 40mm brushed gold-plated hoop, and feature a delicate gemstone pendant. The hooks are gold filled (better if you are prone to allergies).
Leathers have included caramel brown, red, black and grey, some with a labradorite or black onyx pendant.
“3 Layers”
Round leather earrings
These very light earrings are made of real leather and a cute hammered round gold-plated pendant. The hooks are gold filled (better if you are prone to allergies).
“Exotic”
Adjustable gold-plated channel cuffs with snakeskin or salmon leather inlay
“Bling”
Adjustable gold-filled hammered rings with a charm
Gorgeous and elegant, these gold-filled hammered rings are adjustable and feature a chic labradorite, pyrite, white moonstone or black onyx dangle charm.
“Hippy Chic”
Five-strand short necklaces
Five-strand short necklaces made of mixed textures and mixed materials.
“Ghana”
African recycled glass & more
These recycled glass beads are made from old glass bottles, smashed, turned into powder, melted and poured into clay molds. Their shape is not perfect, and that’s what gives them their organic, sea-glass feel.
I paired them with stone, wood, bone and even antler tips.
“Side”
Matte stone, leather & pavé bead or antler tip barrel
Black matte onyx, matte fossil jasper and matte bronzite long hand-knotted necklaces, embellished with smooth leather fringes and an oblong pavé bead or a barrel bead made of antler tip, worn on the side.
More from the workbench
Collections that come and go at the booth and the markets. If one catches your eye, ask me.
Matte & masculine: the “Dharma Wheel” collection
Unisex short necklaces enhanced with an organic zen pendant made of metal and concrete.
Japanese beads & loom: the “Tissage” collection
I have a new addiction… loom bracelets! Tiny Japanese glass beads woven into thin nylon threads, very delicate, with designs that remind me of Native American patterns. The colors are subtle and inspired by gemstones such as labradorite, sunstone, bronzite, moss green Indian agate, ivory agate and fossil jasper. Once again I mixed matte and shiny or transparent textures to give the bracelets depth and reflections.
Stone, weathered sandalwood & horn: the “Wild” collection
Sunstone, labradorite, white buffalo gemstone beads, bronzite, agate… your pick! These statement necklaces can be worn long or like a scarf for a more polished evening look. Very Texan!
Leather earrings: the “2 Layers” collection
Teardrop or round… your choice! Layered designer leather with or without hair on, plain or embossed, in many different leather colors.
The “4 Stones” bracelets
Triple-wrap elegant bracelets born from the marriage of faceted pyrite beads and four gemstone beads. A timeless piece that can be worn with any outfit: elegant, trendy and minimalist.
Stone and leather: the “Organic” collection
Who said organic had to be boring? This collection is far from that. It is understated and plays with a neutral palette to reinforce its elegant, classy and timeless qualities.
Pyrite & coconut: “The Philippines” collection
While looking for wood beads I stumbled on these tiny little coconut pucalets from the Philippines, and I thought they would look perfect with pyrite rondelles… and they do.
Sterling silver or gold: the “Indian-American Skull” rings
OK… I loved these the minute I saw them in a boutique in France. I had to get them! Delicate and feminine and wild at the same time… very Southwestern, actually. Two materials and colors: sterling silver with turquoise and brown enamel, and gold plated (very high quality) with black and red enamel. And they are adjustable!
The “Choker” collection
Chokers are hot this year, so here is my take on them… sparkly hematite, elegant labradorite, sophisticated silver-coated spinel and zen wood beads.
Crystal & leather: the “Leather Luxe” collection
Born from the marriage of flat Italian stitched leather, American deerskin lace and a gorgeous crystal gem, perfect for fall and winter. Some pieces feature black onyx beads, others freshwater pearls for a more natural, boho chic look. Design patent pending. (The necklaces are discontinued.) Leather pieces on Etsy
Retired pieces
Some of my pieces that I no longer offer, kept here for memory’s sake.
- The “Old World French francs coins” collection
- Reuse and recycle! I was going through my attic one summer and found a few old French franc coins in an old Longchamp bag. They looked like nice charms to me, so I cleaned them, drilled a hole and voilà! A few lovely stretch bracelets with matte black onyx or glossy creamy fossilized jasper beads.
- The “Italian & French leather” collection
- The other day I was in the mood for something new. I had leather, Liberty London fabric that I love, faceted gold and silver beads and brand new magnetic clasps… what could I do with these? Well… here it is. Enjoy!
- The “Stones & Tassels” collection
- Red jasper and black agate beads with a vibrant red cotton tassel, or mouse-grey mountain jade and picture jasper with a white, light grey and gold tassel from Spain.
- Stone nuggets & leather: the “Cuff” collection
- Leather cuff bracelets with semi-precious gemstones. A little chunky: a statement on your wrist without being so loud you can’t mix them with other bracelets.
- Stone & wood: “The Chic & Zen” collection
- Matte versus shiny, unfinished versus polished: bracelets, long necklaces and lariats, earthy and elegant at once.
- Snakeskin & salmon skin leather cuffs: the first “Exotic” collection
- Large cuffs made of aluminum (made in the USA) with snakeskin from Indonesia or salmon skin leather from Iceland.
- And also…
- The “Fossil” lariats and chokers with a dinosaur bone bead · the “Dainty” double-wrap bracelets · the “Sandalwood” necklaces and bracelets · the “Houston” braided deerskin necklaces · the “W” wood and resin earrings · the “Oups!” tortoiseshell hoops · the “Exotic” snakeskin and fish skin leather earrings.
