"NI'm afraid, because I know in whom I have placed my my trust."
- St. Paul
The more I delve into my work as a jewelry designer, the more I believe that faith can blend with the language of fashion. Without losing any of its essence, but rather by infusing fashion with a soul! I really love tortoiseshell; it brightens up the fall and can be worn in any season, adding warmth to the face.
Rather than being “just” a beautiful tortoiseshell piece of jewelry, it is a constant presence in our lives. We don’t just wear a color; we carry the sweetness of the Virgin Mary with us all day long through the Miraculous Medal. It inspires us and—who knows—perhaps even reveals itself through our jewelry to those we meet.

Handmade jewelry with tortoiseshell-patterned sequins
3 cm in diameter (no turtles are harmed in the making!), featuring a Miraculous Medal from Rue du Bac. 3-micron gold-plated clasp and ring, stud earrings crafted from stainless steel (this style is not available as a clip-on). The earring has a total height of 5 cm and is extremely lightweight to wear throughout the day; in my opinion, it’s essential to maintain this comfort and never feel like you’re wearing a weight on your ear ;-) As the photos show, the sequins are all slightly different, thus preserving the charm of genuine tortoiseshell.
