Collection
The Play collection revisits childhood games and familiar objects, bringing memories and a sense of play to everyday jewelry.
Upkeep
Silver naturally oxidizes when exposed to oxygen. To restore the jewelry’s shine, gently rub it with the jewelry cleaning cloth available from Le Vivoir.
- Store the jewelry in a small airtight Ziploc-style bag when it is not being worn to slow oxidation.
- The more often silver jewelry is worn, the more slowly visible oxidation tends to develop.

Estrie
I’ve always loved working with my hands. For my seventh birthday, my aunt gave me a kit filled with natural stones and basic tools. That simple gift sparked a lifelong passion — one filled with beads, embroidery, feathers… and the deep joy of crafting unique objects.
Through my brand Flesch, I create handmade jewelry that blends balance, delicacy, and boldness. My process is intuitive and spontaneous: I let shapes and textures emerge that reflect different sides of my personality. Each piece is a playful exploration — a story in form.
My collections — Bâtir, Jouer, Briller — celebrate memory, heritage, and the beauty of everyday life. I draw inspiration from the objects of my childhood: a game of Monopoly, a Barbie doll, a colorful puzzle… I love when my jewelry sparks a memory, a smile, or a connection.
I work primarily with gold-plated brass, sterling silver, pearls, and stones, from my studio in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. Each piece is designed to be both original and comfortable, infused with intention and meaning.
My goal: to create one-of-a-kind pieces that accompany people in their daily lives — expressive, subtle extensions of who they are. I do what I love, and I do it with heart.
