A style modern, minimalist which finds its audience. And the choice to favor short circuits, French and artisanal production.
Inspired by designshe explains doing “the emphasis on lines and geometry” in jewelry that she “see[t] both as small portable architectures and contemporary talismans”. “Making antique futuristic jewelry” [fabriquant de la bijouterie antico-futuristique / des bijoux anciens futuristes]we read in his Instagram bio.

Lucia Fiore: the art of the pen
Workshop neighbor of Leslie Baron and Cécile Villemain, Lucia Fiore works with her pen. A material as fragile as it is originalwhich she reworks with modernity, using ancient techniques. If the feather maker presents her creations as jewelry, some also take the form of paintings and sculptures.
In the case of the former, male pheasant feathers appear on ear fleas or medallions, while parrot moulting feathers mingle with those of local birds for colorful creations inspired by the “De Stijl” movement. Beautiful adornments, to imagine yourself as a peacock, for a moment.

Orange head: “reincarnated” jewelry
We continue with upcycling, this time with Tête d’orange. A brand which chooses – with its humorous name – to say “yes to audacity, spontaneity and limitless creativity” in “giving a second life for abandoned jewelry ».
Like Dr. Frankenstein, the little hands behind Tête d’orange assemble elements from different vintage or old-fashioned pieces, jewelry found or recovered…To create new trendy jewelry. While choosing to recover, above all, Noble materials (gold plated, 925 silver, semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls, etc.), so that their second life lasts just as long as the first.
The result ? Jewelry as unique aseco-responsible, assembled in Strasbourg…And regularly cited in the fashion press. Not bad !

Flore and Zéphyr: ethical and responsible luxury
In a completely different budget, we will conclude this selection with an exceptional house… That of Flore & Zéphyr, which is aimed at those looking for a wedding ring, birth jewelryor any other nice gift, as well as custom made.
With this brand it is about ethical, eco-responsible jewelry, founded in 2015 by Laura and Amaury – as a couple in life – to combine luxury and values. A “desire to create jewelry differently”. Their choice ? Use only traced materials, respect the environment and the workers, with traditional artisanal know-how.
Borrowing its name from a mythological couple, that of Flora (goddess of Flowers and Spring) and Zéphyr (god of the wind), it “symbolizes the union of floral beauty and light breeze”. A reminder of nature that we find in creations, through its shapes or textures. Enough to want to put the ring on your finger.
