About me

Unique jewelry hand-made with real local flowers

Hello, I am Elisabeth. I am a French jewellery designer, trained at Central St Martins College and the ENSAAMA in Paris. I started my jewellery brand 'Fleur de Trésor' two years ago.

I design unique pieces of jewellery hand-made with real local flowers and crystals embedded in resin. Most of my flowers are collected in local parks and friends' gardens around South London and pressed at my workshop in Peckham.

During lockdown, I realised that there were beautiful wildflowers thriving just on my doorstep if I took the time to look. My pieces are like miniature landscapes with their very own unique stories. The mini crystals, pearls and beads represent the sun, moon, stars, and rivers at different times of the day and night.

I want my designs to feel like little meditative treasures to the people who wear them. They celebrate sustainability, local flora and community parks and gardens.

How it's made

I collect most of my flowers from local parks and friends' gardens around South London

I love walking around my area to pick up my wildflowers. It's like a treasure hunt! They grow literally everywhere: local parks, friends' gardens, any wild patch or even in between pavement cracks! Some colours are harder to find or fade over time so I hand-dye them. Some varieties don't grow around where I live so I find them at local florists or on the internet.

Pressing the flowers is a very meditative and rewarding process. I keep them for at least a couple of weeks in between the pages of books to make sure that they are completely dry and flat.

Once the flowers are ready, I get my favourite tweezers out and I start selecting and mixing them with mini crystals and beads to create my unique designs. I love to take time to create a range of colourful yet harmonious compositions that will suit a variety of tastes and customers. That's definitely my favourite part out of the whole process!
