How did your business get started? 
I worked as a jewelry designer and wanted to create my own jewelry. In 2014, I founded 141(One For One) Atelier (‘studio’ in French) with the idea of establishing a jewelry brand that offers handmade, easy-to-wear everyday essentials, all made by One for One.

How do you make your products?
I take great pride in personally crafting each of our products with meticulous attention to detail and an abundance of care and love. At 141 Atelier, I am deeply involved in every step of the process, from sketching designs to working with carved waxes, soldering, and setting stones. This hands-on approach ensures that every piece meets the highest standards of craftsmanship and reflects the passion I have for creating jewelry.

What inspires your craft?
My craft is inspired by modern simplicity, architecture, art, cultures, and personal experiences. Creating simple yet elegant designs brings me joy and purpose.

Why do you sell at Artists & Fleas?
We sell at Artists & Fleas because it provides us with the opportunity to directly connect with customers who appreciate and seek out local designers.
