If the best cooking is made with love, the best jewelry is made with heart. And it’s heart that French-born Virginie Millefiori brings to each of her delicately feminine pieces; from rings featuring a mini chevron accented with peach enamel to detailed, finely etched Space Invader earrings. “I have a fascination for visual storytelling and translate it into whimsical pieces; mingling poetry and wordplay with delicate, colorful silhouettes,” Virginie declares on her website.
We’re not the only ones who are huge fans of Virginie’s knack for whimsy. Her designs have been featured in InStyle, USA Today, Lucky and Racked, among others. And when Virginie’s not mastering new fanciful creations, you can find her crossing the country to share her work at trade shows and flea markets. Read on to see how Virginie fulfills each piece of jewelry from start to finish and learn more about what it’s like to live the life of a jewelry designer.
