I don’t know a woman alive who doesn’t love beautiful jewelry, and the designs from the lovely Leah Ann Messer are exactly that. I am always looking for great pieces for gifts, and her jewelry is so personal. It’s all in the details.
Beaucoup Designs started when Leah Ann was a young mother making jewelry and selling it at craft shows. She then began to sell at larger shows and eventually opened a retail space, Merci Beaucoup, in the Baton Rouge area. It grew quickly, and Leah Ann decided to take a creative leap of faith and design and produce her first major line of jewelry herself. One day a sales representative came to the store to inquire about the line and wanted to have it in her showroom. Leah Ann gave it a shot, and Beaucoup went from being a small project to a full-scale manufacturing company that makes one-of-a-kind, life-inspired pieces of jewelry for people young and old.
Leah Ann has loved all things vintage and meaningful from the time she was a child, and that passion has carried into her intricate designs that I just love. She says that she sees the value in the story of every special piece and that the line and her own life are all about staying true to the things you hold dear and incorporating them into everyday life. And what better way to display your story and carry what’s precious to you with than with a charm bracelet? Whether it’s in gold or in silver, a bracelet or necklace with charms representing moments in your life is so much fun to collect for yourself or to give as a truly meaningful gift.
As I looked through her collection that features tiny bees, acorns, leaves and wonderful small tokens, I was delighted with the enchanting details. You know my complete love of flowers and vines and all things garden, so I especially love the flower bracelets and necklaces that allow you to choose the flower that corresponds with the month you were born. Do you know what your flower means?

Truly Southern!
Gorgeous and enchanting!!!
I love these and your blog is exceptional!
My birth month, February, can be cold, and bleak. Winning a beautiful piece of jewelry bearing the exquisite and delicate violet would indeed be a bright spot in an otherwise dreary winter. Your designs are elegant and unique.
I’d be honor to wear one of her pieces as I meet the challenges of the next few months.
One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to accessorize better, but I don’t have enough jewelry to do that!

My granddaughters are graduating this spring. One from college and the other from high school. Both were born in June. I want them to love and cherish beautiful objects all their lives.
Absolutely beautiful!
Love so much; salivating 😉
Love all her designs! Where can I purchase the bracelets? I would love to own the one for March. My birth month or Sept. My daughters birth month. They are all beautiful!
What lovely jewelry. Any piece would be a joy to own.
they are beautiful pieces and i have never won anything in mylife
These pieces are beautiful! I wasn’t aware of my birth month flower until now. Would love to win some of this jewelry. Thanks for the opportunity.
I love the jewelry. I did not know there was a flower of the month. That is good to know.
Absolutely lovely jewelry. Fine craftsman ship and I truly admire how she’s built her business. Very clever idea to use birth month flowers…
This is truly a stunning jewelry line! What enormous creativity and thought has gone into these pieces!
I would love one of these pieces! My sister is named Leah Ann!
She is a daisy and I am a poppy. We share a love of flowers.
Beautiful Jewelry! Love jewelry that represents special people or events in your life.
Would love to win any of these.
Stunning! Lovely and divine! I stumbled into your blog today for the first time & what a delight! I’d love to win one of these pieces to add ever more to my beloved charm bracelet that’s been built since I was a child. Of course there is now more than one, created in themes, but my most favourite pieces are on original bracelet – so many favourites! – it now weighs over three pounds. Nothing quite like excess in this area. Thank you to both you and the artist for a chance to win such glorious goodies!
These are so lovely, especially the cuff bracelets! I also like the turquoise beads with the bumblebee. Thanks for sharing this designer.
I have admired Beaucoupdesigns since it first came out in a gift shop near me. I bought a piece as a gift for a friend, but I never bought a piece for myself. You know, us women are like that in thinking that someday we will “splurge” on something “special” for ourselves but it seems to slip by. It reminds me so much of France, where I dream of going one day! I would certainly treasure it for a keepsake and make it a item to pass down to my daughter if I win! Thanks so much for the opportunity!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful jewelry! My birth month is February and I love both the flower and gemstone associated with it. These lovely pieces would make wonderful gifts.
Have always loved bracelets and roses. My birthday is in June and my 50th wedding anniversary is in June…..so would love to own such a piece of wonderful jewelry!
This is such a unique idea to have jewelry with your flower designed for you! I would truly enjoy owning one.
How beautiful, her jewelry is so captivating especially the vintage touches. I especially love the designer’s back story. She has truly been blessed with a remarkable talent, and I would love to win a piece of her jewelry because it is designed from the heart. Thank you as always for providing a wonderful forum for this.
What beautiful jewelry!
Classy jewelry.
Beautiful jewelry – I would love to give one to my daughter.
Those bracelet are beautiful with your birth month flowers. A nice giveaway to share with your followers.
This jewelry is a labor of love. I would love a bracelet!
I would love to win this jewelry as a gift to myself for my birthday, February 13. Thanks for the chance.
It would be a pleasure to present this set to my wife for Valentine’s Day. Her birthday is also in February, so this beautiful set would be a fitting remembrance of both.
Very unique and eye-catching jewelry! Thank you for introducing your readers to Leah Ann Messer’s designs…and thank you for “The Ribbon in My Journal.” Like Victoria magazine, your journal “takes me away”!
These pieces have a quiet beauty and that speaks to my aesthetic. June with its promise and “busting out all over-(ness)” is my month of choice.
I love flowers and I love intricate designs. These bracelets and necklaces are absolutely me. I don’t have much jewelry, though, because I always think I need something else more, but I love these pieces. Thank you for the chance to win such lovely items.
I would love to win this for my precious Mother. Thank you for the chance!
The jewelry is absolutely beautiful indeed! Since most of our celebrations including my birthday are in April, the Daisy bracelet would be perfect- thank you ever so very much!
Love the idea of “my” flower to wear!!!
I love her designs, and shared it on Facebook. These pieces look more like antique jewelry than most of what we see today. Love the designs and intricate details. My month is January…………….and, I share the same date as someone all the world knows………..Elvis Presley! Best, Dotti
Every piece is awesome! I love my charm bracelet and want to get my granddaughter started on this jewelry, however, the beautiful cuff bracelet would be mine!!!!
I love Leah Ann’s beautiful jewelry!! My birthday month is December, but I would choose November’s flower in memory and honor of my mother, who loved chrysanthemums.
Such beautiful pieces! My birthday flower is the carnation which is also the flower of my sorority so this would be a double tribute for me.
OMG I am always on the look out for lovely and unique jewelry and would love to receive this special jewelry gift, Thank you for sharing!
Such beauty! Love all of it.
I am a Jewelry Diva (just ask anyone who knows me) and this jewelry is gorgeous!
I bought my daughter a bracelet severs years ago. Would love to have one too!

I’m so glad you called my attention to this jewelry! What a wonderful way to give a meaningful gift to my best friend of 20 years.
Wow what gorgeous jewelry!! Thank you, Phyllis, for giving those of us who live in the more northern regions an opportunity to win something exquisite from Beaucoup. I particularly love bracelets and think of my jewelry as a legacy of love for my daughter (and sons). They already admire my well loved jewelry and especially love my pieces that are from milestones in our lives and love to hear me tell how these pieces relate to them. I think they would love it if I had a story to tell about a bracelet I had won. What a way to share the love with your readers. You are so generous to us, thank you for the opportunity!
I love jewelry and I love flowers. This is a perfect combination!
I love jewelry and am always looking for unique and different pieces. These are beautiful! I would love to win and would wear them proudly. Thank you for the chance to win.
Such beautiful pieces that could be enjoyed by me or my daughter. We are February and September birthdays. Will be looking for her line when we travel. Thank you for the give away opportunities.
What a beautiful person this talented woman must be! I admire any woman who follows her heart to see her dream a reality. I would love to win a piece of this gifted lady’s jewelry!
I would love to be the recipient of this beautiful jewelry . I’m a May baby and enjoy wearing unique jewelry from around the world especially pieces that showcase nature . I will be following this line of jewelry in the future.
I would love to win the jewelry because it is so beautiful and vintage looking. I’ve always read that the Sweet Pea is the flower of my birth month (April), but I love daisies too! It would be nice to see the names of the winners, so we don’t have to keep wondering!

What beautiful delicate designs she has created. I love the tiny little vines twining all around. My two daughters and myself all have spring and summer birthdays so we really lean into anything floral. You your blog and your wonderful magazines fill a place in my life that nothing else does. Looking forward to your future inspirations. Nancy
Her designs are not just beautiful and unique, but inspiring. As an October baby, it would be a fantastic reminder of the importance of daily nurturing one’s creativity and passion: my New Year’s resolution this year.
Thank you for the ‘touch of class’ giveaway.
Marigold is my flower and named after Blessed Mother Mary (Marigold that is)
October is the golden month when the leaves are in sunny and bright.
Very talented lady and shows what perservance can accomplish.
St. Valentine’s Day is special because this saint gaveaway money for poor lady’s to have dowry’s for their wedding.
With a prayerful heart,
Sylvia Faye
By the way I have never seen on any of the giveaways that you have held who the winners are,..,where are they posted…and congradulations to all those lovely ladies who won those giveawys.
What a beautiful story. I love hearing about women who turn their passion into their life work; and what could be better than producing such beautiful pieces of art. It was fun finding out what my birth flower is and what it means. I’d love to wear it and let others know about Beaucoup.
Phyllis,

birthdays . They share the precious gift of being sisters both born in the lovely month of May – a gift in itself !
It’s all beautiful!
My mother and great-aunt are the role models in my life, both born in March, and devoted and loyal to their family. They are both gone now but their words of wisdom still echo in my soul. What a beautiful way to honor them than with such beautiful jewelry. Our loved ones are always with us and I think of both of them when in my garden looking at their favorite flowers I planted in their memory.
I am ready to be adorned! Thank you for your lovely and inspiring magazines….I especially enjoy the articles and pictures about women who follow their passions.
Water Lilly is my flower and I need peace and beauty around me more than ever in my life.
Thank you for sharing the beautiful pieces by this designer. I knew what my birth month flower was but not those of my children. I will give the month of May to our, who will be celebrating her 35th birthday in May as well as her first Mother’s day. She wears a lot of jewelry and would be very surprised at receiving such a beautiful gift. Always look forward to your posts.
I would love the Morning Glory for my mom !
The daffodil is my birth flower and the traits of the flower really fit my personality. This would be a great addition to my collection.
I love and appreciate beautiful jewelry. Thank you for this opportunity! My month is August-I never knew my flower was the poppy! So fun………
I would love to be part of this give away. The design of the jewelry is just so lovely. What can be prettier than flowers and I didn’t realize that the month of July is the water lily.
I would like very much to have a piece of this beautiful jewelry to look at and think someone made this. In the future I would have something to pass on to my grands. Thank you for sharing such beauty. Debra
This jewelry is beautiful! Absolutely timeless. They will make wonderful gifts for my daughters and for myself as well.
Such beautiful designs! And, a giveaway beginning on my actual birthday, how exciting!! So lucky to love my birth month flower, the violet, and it’s color…Purple! Thank you for the opportunity to win one of these lovely creations and the best of luck to everyone who enters! ~ Donna W.
Wow, such gorgeous pieces! Little wonder this post has so many comments.
I had no idea I had a birth month “flower”. My Mom instilled my love of flowers and today I love them just as much as her. The designs are beautiful!
The workmanship is exquisite on the Beaucoup Designs, thank you so much for the chance to win a piece. The bracelets and necklaces are beautiful! I am also admiring the lovely lockets in Victoria… so enchanting!!!
Love is in the air. Bautiful designs. If I won I would give to one lucky daughter….the. Need to buy 3 more so the others would t feel left out
I knew that there were gemstones for the months but not flowers. I will have to plant some marigolds in the garden this year! Maybe even follow up with a “family garden” area. Something to look forward to as I look out onto a couple feet of snow.
These designs are amazing! I too love all things vintage and all things French. I look forward to being able to add some of these beautiful designs to my jewelry collection!!
I LOVE jewelry and you are right Phyllis, these are very special and personal. As a March baby, I promise to RESPECT and give my full DEVOTION to the lovely daffodil, a flower that is so looked forward to each spring as the first sigh of REBIRTH and renewal of warmer days. Thank you for sharing this wonderful designer. Barbara
Would love to have the daffodil cuff! It is my favorite!
One of my favorite books is The Language of Flowers. I would love to win this bracelet ensamble ! My birth month is October and wearing these would remind me to live up to the wonderful qualities of Marigold,passion grace,and creativity.
What beautiful pieces of jewelry. Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful pieces and Leah Ann’s story. I was pleasantly surprised to find out what my birth flower means and the flower itself. It really signifies my faith. My birth month is February and this month includes the beginning of the Lenten season. A time of humility signifying our Lord’s sacrifice to us. I also loved to learn the flower’s trait and it means faithfulness. How appropriate for this month.Having one of these pieces would be a wonderful opportinity to share my faith. Thank you Lee Ann for extending your God given gift as a way to show the world his ultimate gift.
I would love to wear these beautiful flowers!
Absolutely beautiful jewelry. I would love to win this for my daughter & daughter-in-law. Thank you for sharing.
Such beautiful work…would love to have a piece from this designer!!
Thank you for the opportunity to enter this give-away – love the designs! And I didn’t know that the daffodil was my birth month flower!
Awesome jewelry! Would love to visit her store as I am not too far from Baton Rouge. Love your post…keep them coming.
I would love to win these, as they are just my style and would be great signature pieces for work and for play. Beautiful designs! Thanks for introducing me to this line of jewelry.
It’s love at first sight for me! From the Flower Bar to the Moroccan-inspired pieces, it’s a beautiful and unique line. My very favorite, as a francophile and lover of anything vintage, is the “C’est la vie” collection. I would be thrilled to wear any of these pieces!!
The jewelry is beautiful and she is an inspiration to take a leap of faith and follow your dreams
This is such a beautiful line of jewelry. It is reminiscent of times gone by. My mom and I share a love of beautiful things and owned a retail store together for ten years. She taught me about my birth flower so I would love to give her the March set. Thanks for giving us a chance to win such beautiful pieces!
Today is a very dear friend’s birthday. A violet cuff would be a beautiful gift. Thank you for introducing us to Beaucoup; merci beaucoup.
These are stunning pieces! Thank you for the opportunity of winning them. I choose the rose (June).
Very charming. They would make a wonderful gift for my girls!
I never knew there were birth flowers! how interesting and I love learning something new. The bracelets and charms are feminine and each can tell a story. I can’t wait to explore the store…
Thank you for your beautiful blog and sharing this unique and beautiful jewelry. I know that my chances are infinitesimally small, but please put my name in the hat anyway. I LOVE seeing “Ribbon in my Journal ” in my e-mail box!!!
Very different and beautiful, they are conversation starters to say the least
I have always known the Chrysanthemum (also special since my Mum embroidered some on a cushion cover in the different gorgeous colours) is my birthday month and after taking a number of character tests now know that the meanings of the flower correspond with them. Gives me extra confidence.
Such beautiful pieces. I love all of it!
Great giveaway and what beautiful things!! Please add my name to the hat, I would love to win simply because I love beautiful jewelery…makes me happy! Enjoy your weekend and thank you for the chance!!
Beautiful! Interesting to see what my flower means. I would so love to win a piece of Leah Ann’s unique jewelry. Thanks for the nice giveaway.
Beautiful jewelry! I’m not a “precious gems” person, but love silver. The details in the flowers is lovely. I am a Master Gardener and love, love, love flowers. I didn’t know my birth month flower until reading this post. Would love to win the Water Lily jewelry.
Thank you for your inspiring and interesting posts.
Brenda
These are beautiful!! I love beautiful jewelry but rarely buy it for myself because I am always buying for others. I would love to win these for me!

I love the vintage look and any thing that looks like it has a history behind it. Probably would share!?!
Not much of a jewelry wearer other than my wedding and engagement rings and earrings…maybe an occasional bracelet. The delicate band bracelet sets with charms are sweet and charming…LOVE! Thank You!
Thank you for sharing this with us. This brought back the many wonderful memories of my grandmother and the jewelry she wore. When she passed her jewelry was shared amongst the great granddaughters. She loved flowers and nature and so many of her pieces were of this type. It would be wonderful to win a piece and help keep her memories alive.

Wow. There is so much talent out there, isn’t there? I’d love to have one for May. The problem would be whether to keep it or give it to my sister whose birthday is also in May!
What absolutely beautiful jewelry and the personalization by birth month makes it even more special. Thank you for your blog posts, and thank you re resurrecting Victoria for all of us!
