2004-2024

Peace à Porter turned 20 years old this fall. It’s been a joy and a privilege designing and making jewelry all these years, but the time has now come for me to pursue new creative avenues.

Fall of 2024 was my last collection and I hosted the last shows in November. From 2025 limited custom orders will be available by appointment only.

Selected pieces of Peace à Porter jewelry is still available at Emily Joubert, Woodside and San Francisco and at Skat Vintage, Paris

I want to thank all my loyal clients for their support and interest in my work over the years. It’s been a joy meeting and getting to know so many wonderful people who share my love of beauty, creativity and poetry of the materials that make the jewelry complete. Each carefully designed and handmade piece has brought much joy from the conception on paper to the final piece adorning a happy client. Thank you.

Now in Paris, Skat Vintage

I have some exciting news to share. Peace à Porter Jewelry is now available at Skat Vintage in Paris. Skat Vintage is a high end vintage store on Rue St. Paul, recently named the number one Vintage store in Paris by Vogue. Please stop by and check out the collection of exquisitely edited vintage clothes, shoes and more and find a small selection of new artisanal luxury jewelry and other small goods.

As I am called to be with family, I’m taking a break from keeping the studio open. Please email me if you are interested in a new piece of jewelry.

New work will be available in August.

Happy summer, Louise

Happy weekend

As spring is in full bloom, temperatures are warmer and summer days are around the corner it’s time to think about gifts for Mother’s Day, graduations and summer birthdays.

I’ll travel earlier this year than usual, so please get your orders in as soon as possible.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Winterspring

The weather can’t decide. One moment the sun comes out and warms up the stones and the damp ground, the tulips, magnolias and camellias are in full bloom and the birds are searching for hiding places to build their nests. The next moment, the sun gets covered by grey clouds, blue turns to nuances of white and grey, rain showers, hail storms and snowfall is upon us. While I observe in awe the changes in nature I feel inspired by the new season approaching. New pieces are being conceived in my sketch book and a mix of gorgeous stones, pearls and metals are laid out on my work table for careful consideration. In short: new pieces are in the works and I can’t wait to show them to my friends and clients. I hope you will make an appointment to stop by for an outdoor private show. I still only invite two people at a time and masks and distance still applies. Thank you for understanding.

New pieces

Meet on Zoom or FaceTime for a look at the collection. I am working on new pieces made from colorful semiprecious stones, lots of differently shaped freshwater pearls mixed with gold, silver and oxidized (black) silver. Hopefully we can soon meet again for private viewings on the deck outside of my studio, until then, stay safe and take care of yourself and others. ❤️ Louise

Outdoor boutique

December is upon us, the days are shorter and the holidays are approaching. Please consider supporting small independent businesses as you find meaningful, lasting gifts for family members and friends.

There are many small book stores and artisan shops around the country and all will offer you the personal connection we all miss this year and happily ship to you.
Some examples for lasting gifts are plants and bulbs from local garden shops, pottery, jewelry and clothes made by artisans and craftspeople that put their hearts and souls in to their creations and art made at this special moment in time. Thoughtful giving of meaningful gifts create beautiful moments of joy and invaluable memories.

Please stop by and see my winter collection. Make an appointment by text, email, phone call or IG DM.

Open all days by appointment only.

Happy july

Wherever you are enjoy your summer!
Long warm days and hopefully time to read some good books, cook some delicious meals, maybe even from produce grown at home in your garden or in pots during SIP. Take some long walks and if you are near a lake or the ocean go for a swim. Instead of regretting what we cannot do this summer, we can try to appreciate what is instead, a slower pace of life, more quiet time for reflection, listening, and simply being, instead of doing. If you have the privilege to take some time off - enjoy!

I’ll be on vacation from Monday with limited access to mailing orders out, but look forward to reconnecting in August when I open the studio with hopefully new found energy and inspiration. Wishing everyone a very happy and beautiful summer.

Stay connected VII

June. Spring is turning in to summer, the evenings are bright and serve us mellow pastel colored sunsets. If you want to buy some new jewelry for summer, please contact me.
The injustice in our society that we witness everyday leaves no one impartial. I have decided to take my solidarity and verbal support off of my social media and keeping it mostly private, but it feels hollow to write about sunsets and spring colors without mentioning how deeply the recent weeks have affected us and made it crystal clear that our ways of living have to change. This is not a political column so I’ll refrain from elaborating further here and continue to support organizations which I believe work for a more just, equal and peaceful world. My mission when I started Peace à Porter was to make something beautiful while doing my part in supporting positive change and I’ll continue doing so and cannot thank you, my clients, enough for having enabled that mission. Thank you. Happy June!
