The Story of My Resin Jewelry
It's first the story of a summer. The desire to meet you, to leave the screen that separated me from your smiles, and the desire to get closer to nature. This is how I landed in Gironde, between forest and ocean, to do my first season on the open-air markets.
Before this adventure, my resin jewelry was limited to a few models offered online. But to fill a stand, I had to create more. So, keeping my first inspiration, which was to encrust flower petals in the resin, I varied the models, styles, colors...
Today, I offer you unique pieces (because even if some models can be repeated, each leaf and each flower remains unique), with a wider but always natural color range (since these are only the colors that nature offers us), a fine and delicate style that will adapt to your respective styles, durable materials, and always, nature as inspiration.
Plants and minerals: nature as inspiration
Each piece of jewelry contains flower petals, leaves, and/or minerals. The latter are fragments of semi-precious stones such as rose quartz or peridot (also called olivine), which retain their lithotherapy properties, even "through" the resin.
The whole flowers, flower petals, leaves and plants are all picked by me in Gironde , with respect for nature. Indeed, when it comes to wild picking, I make sure that the area allows it, and rest assured, the quantities picked are too small to harm the growth of the remaining plants. Then the harvest is dried by me: thus, the colors will not deteriorate over time.
This approach allows me to create throughout the seasons , with what nature offers me, and in turn, I try to offer you original compositions, micro-universes frozen in time.
Sustainable materials
Stainless steel
304 stainless steel is meant to be strong, durable and recyclable . But it is also for its hypoallergenic properties that I chose this material. Thus, the parts of the jewelry in contact with your skin are made of 304 stainless steel (i.e. the chains of the necklaces and the hooks of the earrings), while the decorative suns, when there are any, are made of brass.
The resin
Although its glass-like appearance might suggest that it is fragile, resin is actually very strong . It is a lightweight material , which makes the piece of jewelry comfortable to wear; however, if you drop it, there is no risk of it breaking.
Care instructions
For stainless steel
Despite its robustness against corrosion, it is important to take care of it. Indeed, depending on its composition and the environment to which it is exposed, steel can blacken over time, even if it remains much more resistant to oxidation than most other alloys.
So to keep your jewelry sparkling, avoid wearing it underwater, and keep it away from light and humidity, in a jewelry box for example, so that it does not come into contact with oxidizing agents.
For the resin
From time to time, simply wipe the resin part of your jewelry with a soft cloth to remove any deposits and preserve their shine. It's just like a pair of glasses! For resin too, it is advisable to keep your jewelry away from light and humidity when it is not being worn.
