ABOUT

Concept

KALEYDE is a coined word derived from Kaleidoscope.
Each one is handmade with the desire to create accessories that are captivating like a kaleidoscope.
We make upcycled jewelry from materials collected at flea markets in France and Japan, as well as original engraving jewelry.

KALEYDE is inspired from the word kaleidoscope.
The idea is to create accessories that draw you in like a kaleidoscope.
I create upcycled accessories from materials collected at flea markets and charity markets in Japan and France.
I also carve original metal jewelry.
