ABOUT
Origin Story
I began Maison de Femmes in July 2018 at my parent’s kitchen bench. I was house-sitting and freelancing as a digital marketer while they holidayed through Europe.
While trying to come up with a name for my own marketing agency, I stumbled upon Maison de Femmes, which translates from French to ‘House of Women’—a sentiment that rang true in a multitude of ways.
I ran the name past my Instagram friends, with varied responses. Some people loved it, others hated it, but I distinctly remember thinking, “This is a great name for a label!”—and Maison de Femmes Jewellery was born.
It’s been a life-changing, all-consuming love project for me. Creating long lasting, original designs with my own hands that are cherished by others on both the biggest days of their lives and their every day is really special to me.
I hope you love what you see in Maison de Femmes as much as I do.
There is magic within.

TIMELINE: 2018—present
2018
Maison de Femmes was born
I launched Maison de Femmes in July, 2018 starting with our sweet Star Jasmine Earrings.
2020
The Cosmic Bees
My first design from thought to reality: the Cosmic Bees. All of my designs up until that point were pieces I'd created using existing materials (hoops, jump rings, charms, pearls etc.) but the bees were my first ever moulded design, crafted in India.
2023
As Above, So Below Spinner
Launched my best selling As Above, So Below Manifesting Spinner. This design took months to perfect, and involved learning 3d design to get it just right.
