A Word from the Creator
Welcome to Honu!
I am Isabelle B., Creator and Self-Taught Artisan Jeweller.
I am delighted to welcome you to my Universe, a space where each Piece is entirely handcrafted, with Rigour and Sincerity.
I advocate for Slow Luxury.
This means that I take the time to craft each Creation so that it is Unique, carries Meaning, a Message and a Presence, as well as genuine Quality in terms of Strength and Finish.
I have therefore chosen not to use moulding or casting (techniques commonly used in jewellery that save manufacturing time and enable mass production).
My pieces are unique and come to life according to my inspirations.
I mainly work with Sterling Silver and Tahitian Pearls, but Gold and Fine or Precious Stones are also part of my creative scope, along with Personalised and bespoke projects.
I wish you a wonderful discovery.
Everything that is precious takes time to be born.
My Universe
More than a jewel, a DNA.
My Brand, My Essence
Granddaughter of a foundry worker and daughter of a jewellery apprentice, the Passion for metal and its gradual transformation has always driven me. Gone far too soon, these two Men unfortunately never showed or taught me their craft. So I learned everything on my own, and later in life. My Creative Expression takes shape according to my Inspirations of the moment, rather than by imposed conventions. Come! Step into my Universe!
