Flambeaux Design Company by Flambeaux on Etsy

Do you sometimes prefer glitter to diamonds? Are you constantly searching for fun and quirky accessories that set you apart from the crowd? Do you like things just a little bit flashy?

Me too! That’s why I create jewelry that’s as bold and beautiful as the women who wear it.

I've been interested in fashion since my days of styling Barbie and designing with Fashion Plates. I even created a few pieces of jewelry back then. But I but didn’t rediscover my passion for jewelry until 2005. I started off slowly with a few beaded necklaces and then started to incorporate wire work into the mix. Eventually, I was drawn to the gorgeous color possibilities of polymer clay. Seriously, I couldn’t get enough!

Flambeaux Design Company was born post-Katrina New Orleans in 2007. Today, I continue to create jewelry in my studio using polymer clay, copper wire, glass beads, and occasionally even buttons or found objects. Many of my pieces put a fresh spin on classic designs and are often vintage inspired. While other pieces may have a more contemporary feel.

It’s possible that you've seen my work around New Orleans at trunk shows, local art markets, boutiques, or my former pop-up shop at Fairy. You may have also read a bit about me in New Orleans Homes & Lifestyles, the Times-Picayune, The Gambit, The Cue, or maybe even a blog like Miss Malaprop, Nola Parent, or Polymer Clay Daily. New to Flambeaux? It’s truly a pleasure to meet you! We’re going to be great friends!

So, grab a cocktail, get comfy and have a look around my virtual boutique. I just know you’ll find something fabulous!
