Isabelle Souccar - Hand Made Jewelry with a West African Flare

Bamako born Isabelle Souccar has long made a name for herself here on St. Martin as an artist.

Her jewelry creations are not only beautiful but unique in the materials that she uses.

Isabelle Souccar

She owes her creativity to her West African culture and her mother who took her to local markets while searching for materials for her own jewelry line and thus awakening a curiosity in a very young Isabelle.

A chance encounter with a Tuareg jewelry maker that specialized in mainly silver and ebony on a trip to Mali 6 years ago led to her first design.  Her specialization has since evolved to antique glass beads and contemporary silver, bronze, amber to sometimes cotton, leather and antique clay.

Combining the materials while preserving and sharing every single history attached to each material is half the pleasure she gets during the creative process. Preserving heritage is key in each design.

What We're Loving Right Now

Burlap and.......

Burlap is popping up everywhere. While it was formerly considered to be a primitive fabric, pairing burlap with with softer fabrics like lace or with classy crystals makes it one trend that we are loving right now.

The juxtaposition of the burlap and lace can take your event decor to the next level. Burlap and crystals give the feel of elegance. We predict that using this trendy new touch in your wedding decor or any other event decor for that matter will prove to be a great decision.
