Bijoux So' Oléron Handmade jewelry from the island of Oléron

So' Oléron Jewelry: Jewelry inspired by the island of Oléron, created with passion by the water.

So'Oléron! is the story of Sophie, a passionate designer of costume jewelry , who dared to turn a dream into reality. A qualified nurse since 2007, in January 2021 she decided to embark on an adventure that has excited her for a long time: the creation of colorful jewelry, sometimes mismatched, but always designed to enhance the beauty of those who wear them.

Self-taught and determined, Sophie created her brand, registered her designs, set up her website alone and set up her workshop in a corner of her house. Each piece she designs is unique : asymmetrical earrings , original sets, jewelry adorned with cabochons, enameled pieces or UV resin prints. All her designs are mounted on stainless steel, to combine style and quality.

Her creations quickly became a hit: her online store was a resounding success, and several retailers began selling her jewelry in the region and beyond. In the summer of 2021, she began participating in her first night markets on the island of Oléron, followed by Christmas markets in a magical atmosphere. Gradually, she set up a small workshop to prepare her orders and offer a collection point for her customers.

Every month, she organizes a competition on her Facebook page, an opportunity to showcase her new products or to highlight other local designers that she loves.

Since March 2023, Sophie has devoted herself entirely to her business. Her creativity is flourishing: she develops her own prints in UV resin and polymer clay, launches a collection of asymmetrical earrings, and continues to create unique models based on her inspirations and customer requests.

In February 2024, she realized a dream: to open her shop in a former oyster hut by the water, on the port of Saint-Trojan-les-Bains , a place as charming as it is inspiring. The hut, open year-round, also serves as a workshop.

Always on the move, in November 2024 she joined a collective of designers with whom she opened two shared boutiques in Bordeaux and Saint-Médard-en-Jalles, in pretty, busy galleries. In February 2025, her work was officially recognized: Sophie proudly received the title of Artisan d'art in jewelry creation awarded by the Chamber of Trades and Crafts.
