Bruno brooch jewelry

A handcrafted costume jewelry piece created using unique craftsmanship

Since 1992, Ciléa has been perpetuating a rare and precious artisanal expertise. Each creation is born from a spirit of exacting standards and passion, crafted by artisans dedicated to preserving techniques honed over more than three decades. Renowned for the excellence and uniqueness of its pieces, the company is proud to hold the prestigious EPV (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant) label. This official distinction recognizes French workshops whose artisanal techniques actively contribute to safeguarding manufacturing heritage, while encouraging the transmission of unique artistic crafts.

A unique handcrafted creation

The Bruno brooch perfectly illustrates the expertise and meticulousness that characterize Ciléa creations. Entirely handcrafted in our small Rennes workshop, it is the result of a series of meticulous gestures carried out with precision and patience.
First, each element is carefully cut out, then prepared for the composition work. Next comes the delicate gluing of the different parts, the meticulous application of colors, the harmonious assembly of the pieces and finally the polishing which reveals the full depth of the hues.
Each step demands an expert eye, meticulous precision, and a keen eye for detail. It is this painstaking work that transforms the Bruno brooch into a true handcrafted piece of costume jewelry, capable of enhancing an outfit and expressing your personality with elegance and originality.

Émaline, a unique material by Ciléa

What gives Ciléa creations their distinctive brilliance is Émaline, an exclusive material developed by the company after many years of research. This highly refined resin offers delicate textures and dazzling reflections that capture light in an exceptional way.
Thanks to Émaline, each piece becomes unique: no shade, no transparency, no textural effect is ever exactly the same. This singularity gives the Bruno brooch an inimitable, almost living character, like a small work of art that one wears with pride.
More than just an accessory, each handcrafted costume jewelry piece in Émaline reflects the soul of the Ciléa brand: a subtle balance between imagination, technical skill and artisanal tradition.

A brilliant heart for eternal radiance

It is said that the Bruno brooch is not just a simple handcrafted costume jewel, but the heir to a forgotten legend.

It depicts a large, delicately sculpted flower, whose heart shines like a sundrop frozen in metal. Yet few know what lies behind this brilliance.

The story begins in a small workshop tucked away at the end of a cobbled alley. Bruno, a dreamy craftsman, worked there late into the night, guided by inspiration rather than sleep. One evening, as a light rain pattered against the windows, he found a strange fragment in an old box inherited from his grandmother: a tiny, luminous shard, warm to the touch, which seemed to throb like a living heart.

It was said that whoever could capture its light could create a handcrafted piece of costume jewelry capable of bringing courage and gentleness to its wearer. Bruno then decided to transform this fragment into a brooch. He fashioned a large flower, petal by petal, with the patience of a poet and the precision of a dreamer. When he inserted the luminous fragment into the center, the brooch seemed to breathe for a moment, as if it were finding its lost heart.

He simply named it: the Bruno brooch.

Some tips for preserving your handmade costume jewelry

1. Avoid water and chemicals.
Perfume, creams, and humidity can dull colors and alter shine.
2. Store your handmade costume jewelry away from light.
Store it in a pouch or jewelry box, protected from dust and direct sunlight.
3. Clean it with a soft, dry cloth.
Rub gently to preserve all the shine of the Émaline without risking damage to the surface.
4. Handle it with care.
Avoid bending thin elements and protect your handmade costume jewelry from impacts to prolong its lifespan.
