Grown out of a natural heritage of the romantic islands, the independent jewelry line by Mauritian designer Julie Pang fuses organic elements – from coconut to seashells, earthy crystals and stones – cut, shaped and molded with brass into striking Art Nouveau forms, leaving an imprint on the memory.

Each collection, made in sterling silver, has its own story and invites people to see beauty in life. Some of her inspirations are traditional Chinese designs, Deco architecture in Shanghai and most recently the tropical plants of her home country.
