BONJOUR
I haven’t always been the creator of the vibrant, sparkling pieces you see today. For years, I’d lost my own sparkle. On the surface, life seemed perfect—a stable career, a family, and everything I’d thought I needed to feel fulfilled. But deep down, I felt an emptiness I couldn’t explain.
Then, in my early 40s, I followed a quiet nudge of curiosity and signed up for a beading class. What started as a simple creative outlet soon became the lifeline I didn’t know I needed. As I pieced together beads and designed jewellery, I wasn’t just creating something beautiful—I was rediscovering myself.
Colour, in all its vibrant hues, was finding its way back into my life, both literally and figuratively. The joy I found in creating sparked something extraordinary. Slowly, that little hobby in the spare room blossomed into French Attic. Today, my greatest passion is designing pieces that help women reconnect with their own sparkle—jewellery that celebrates their unique beauty, creativity, and radiance.
I create for women who, like me, long for joy, depth, and freedom. Women who value beauty in all its wonderful, quirky forms. Women who are unapologetically authentic and love expressing their individuality through the way they live and dress.
If you’re the kind of woman who cries when the girl gets the guy in a movie, or feels a tug of longing from the minor chords of a song, you’re my kind of person. I see you. I create for you.
French Attic isn’t just about jewellery—it’s about rediscovering the vibrancy of life, celebrating femininity, and expressing who we truly are. My work brings me so much joy because every piece I make is a small way to help women reclaim their own sparkle.
French Attic is my return to childhood wisdom—where creativity was boundless, and joy came from making and dreaming. I’m forever grateful for that journey, and I hope that the jewellery I create brings a little of that same magic into your life.
