Creator LAWE
In my store Le Cristal Antique you will find my artisanal creations under the LAWE brand.
My professional life began in the corporate world but I was always attracted by the transformation of materials and artistic crafts. Self-taught, I learned different techniques for creating jewelry: bead embroidery, making silver jewelry, setting stones.
Then, I followed the gemmology courses with GEM-A (Gemmological Association of Great Britain), and the practical courses with L'Ecole des Gemmes . This allows me to choose my gemstones from which I create my jewelry according to my inspiration.
When my husband started the antiques dealer business, certain old objects needed to be restored. The idea of giving them a new life came to me, and I took courses in leaf gilding and painting restoration. As for the lamp bases, I quickly learned how to re-electrify them, but finding a lampshade for them was a mission impossible. Being a seamstress, I started creating lampshades.
