"In 2024, at the crossroads of a personal desire and the continuation of my independent career, I created Maësha: a brand of handmade costume jewelry.

Born from the desire to work with materials to create jewelry that reflects me, blending delicacy and femininity, the brand embodies a search for authenticity, through discreet creations, sometimes bolder and more colorful, always designed to accompany women in the plurality of their moments.

Mainly worked from polymer clay, Maësha pieces explore sober shapes and nuanced tones, in a constant dialogue between subtlety and brilliance.

Creating this jewelry is also about giving meaning back to the act of making. A way to connect with those who matter, far from the imposed rhythm, as close as possible to the gesture."
