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?
