Unique Piece n°41 - Costume jewelry brooch

Unique artisanal know-how

Since 1992, Ciléa has explored the art of original costume jewelry through entirely manual work. In our Rennes workshop, artisans meticulously craft each piece with attention to detail, perpetuating unique techniques recognized by the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) label. This distinction highlights French workshops committed to preserving and transmitting rare know-how. Unique piece n°41 is part of this tradition : a singular prototype for those seeking original and absolutely rare costume jewelry.

Original costume jewelry entirely handmade in France

The creation of this floral brooch relies on a precise and meticulous process. The shapes of each petal and leaf are first sketched, then carefully cut before being assembled to create a harmonious composition. Manual modeling gives this original costume jewelry fluid and elegant lines. The exclusive colors and silver finishes of the heart are hand-applied with infinite patience, revealing the depth of the material. This artisanal work gives birth to a unique piece, perfect for enhancing your style.

Émaline, signature material for every original Ciléa jewel

The subtle sparkle of this brooch comes from Émaline, an exclusive resin developed in our workshop. Both lightweight and resistant, it allows for sculpting delicate volumes and bringing to life airy, very pleasant to wear original costume jewelry. Its nuanced reflections gently capture the light, highlighting the pearly gray of the petals and the vibrant blue-green of the leaves of unique piece n°41.

The Ciléa Association : The Perfect Style Trio

To complement this masterpiece and create a signature Ciléa Paris look, pair your unique piece n°41 with these three flagship creations :

1. Tuba earrings : They will create a perfect chromatic echo to the three blue-green leaf outlines of your brooch.
2. Daisy ring : Worn in subtle superposition, it will recall the realistic silver heart and the softness of the main flower's petals.
3. Pensée brooch : For those who embrace stylistic boldness, layer this brooch next to unique piece n°41 on the lapel of a black blazer or a gray wool coat. Layering is the secret to a confident original costume jewelry style !

Unique piece n°41 was born from a desire to experiment in our workshop in Rennes, one autumn morning. Our artisans wanted to create an original fashion jewel that was out of the ordinary, playing with soft colors and modern shapes.

It all started with this 5-petal flower. To give it personality, the designers imagined a very detailed, almost realistic silver heart that beautifully catches the light. Then, to add a touch of modern color, they added three outlines of light leaves in a pretty blue-green.

Assembling this brooch required a great deal of patience and precision to ensure that each element found its perfect place. Upon seeing the final result, the team fell in love with its balance and originality. The artisans then decided not to reproduce it in a collection. It remained as is : a rare prototype and a unique original fashion jewel in the world, which you will be the only one to wear.

Tips for preserving your original costume jewelry

• Avoid water and chemicals : Perfumes, creams, or humidity can alter the colors and shine of the resin.
• Store it away from light : Keep your brooch in its case or a jewelry box to protect it from dust and direct sunlight.
• Clean it gently : A soft, dry cloth is sufficient to restore Émaline's shine without damaging its surface.
• Handle it with care : Avoid bending the delicate elements of the openwork leaves and protect your brooch from impacts to preserve its unique structure.

With these simple steps, your unique piece n°41 will retain its beauty and exceptional character for a long time.
