My DNA

My Brand, My Essence

My Brand, My Essence

I am Isabelle B., a jewelry designer and craftswoman, self-taught and heir to a family passion. Granddaughter of a foundry worker and daughter of a jewelry apprentice, I have always been driven by a passion for metal and its gradual transformation. These two men, who passed away far too soon, unfortunately never showed or taught me their skills. So I learned everything on my own, and later in life.

My DNA | Honu Handmade Jewelery

My Profession, My Passion

I chose to develop my outlet into a profession, to evolve towards a Passionate Universe that is my own: handmade jewelry (without any molding), particularly composed of Solid Silver and Authentic Tahitian Pearls.

My method
100% Handcrafted

Each piece is forged, sculpted, shaped and polished by hand in my workshop in Portugal. I practice ancestral and traditional jewelry-making techniques.

My Choice
No molding, no mass production

Each piece of jewelry is entirely handcrafted, from the first cut of the saw to the final finishing touches. There is only one version of it, just as there is only one You.
Each piece is its own original, unique, by essence.

My Subjects
Precious Metals and Choice Ornaments

Sterling silver is at the heart of my creations. I chose it for its nobility and for the very particular patina it acquires as the years go by.
Enhanced by genuine Tahitian pearls, my creations are the result of the perfect embrace between these two materials.

My Creative Freedom, my Instinct
Honu swimming against the tide

Unlike most creators who design and plan every step, I often give free rein to my Instinct and Inspiration of the moment; this is my Creative Freedom.

Sometimes I create a piece of jewelry from a Creative Accident, an unforeseen technical event that becomes an Original, Unique and above all impossible to reproduce piece of jewelry.

My Style, My Identity

I give free rein to my creative freedom through an eclectic style that blends modernity and traditional techniques.

My creations reflect my DNA and my commitment to quality. I've chosen not to use molds and not to mass-produce. For me, this is where the magic of jewelry lies. My pieces are singular, authentic, and above all, unique; even if I recreate a design, the result will never be exactly the same as the first. Some designs are completely impossible to reproduce, like those from the Brut Collection.

My Jewelry, Your Distinction

My jewelry is for the person who wants to be the only one to wear it. For the one who seeks a presence, an imprint, an original work (in its truest sense), one that reflects their own personality. My pieces follow the path of those who appreciate craftsmanship, the nobility of materials, and details that make a statement, that speak...but without shouting.
