About Us

"The Whole is greater than the sum of its parts"
A Tale of Two Cities... Two Sisters... ...Two Skill bases... ...One of a Kinds. Hand-made by us: Front and Back. Colour is the engine. Lustre is the fuel. Vintage Bakelite is the vehicle of inspiration and desire. We are adding bangles, rings, buckles, buttons, and hat pins. The Cicadas (Les Cigales) are just the start. Nothing is Common. Even that which is Common. Our finish, and our attention to detail elevates.
