The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2019 - Issue 26

M ixing and matching jew- ellery can be a hard task in terms of colour, style, and concept but French jewellery brand Les Georgettes by Altesse has made it easier for the inner designer within us. Their inno- vative jewellery concept features interchangeable and reversible coloured bands that are made in the Ardeche and Brittany regions in France. By combining the savoir- faire (know-how) of Maison Altesse and Texier, Les Georgettes by Altesse brings together the finest in jewellery and leather craftsmanship. The jewellery brand aims to adapt to each woman’s personal style, whether it is morning, noon, or night - virtually wherever the day may take her. There are two main collections - Les Essentielles and Les Précieuses - the former is the brand’s best-selling and made up of a selection of bracelets and rings that can be worn day-in, day-out while the latter features bracelets and rings set with cubic zirconia, making them the perfect finish- ing touches for your nights out or special occasions. By encouraging us to unleash the inner designer within us, we have the opportunity to choose our jew- ellery size, design, and finish that can be paired with our choice of interchangeable leather or fluid-per- spex inserts. “Explore the endless possibilities when you create our own Les Georgettes piece of jewel- lery,” says the brand. The bracelets are available in different designs and several widths while the rings can be transformed time and time again with interchangeable coloured inserts. So how does it work? Firstly, you would choose your design, finish, and the colour of your leather or fluid perspex, and explore the endless possibilities to create your own Les Georgettes by Altesse. This is an opportunity to let your imag- ination run wild by experimenting and testing out your creations in their customisation workshop. Les Georgettes boasts over 20,000 pos- sible combinations so you’ll be able to create a unique piece of jewellery that can be transformed time and time again. For example, if you wish to create a bracelet, you would choose from either the Perroquet or Liens col- lection and then your desired width which ranges from 8mm up to 40mm with an additional choice of a wide fit in Perroquet. Next, you would choose the design: Perroquet has 26 choices including Amour, Inca, and Garden while Liens has 8 choices including Barette, Petales, and Sioux. The finish is made up of gold, rose gold, silver, and Cristina Lloyd discovers a brand that allows you to design and create your own bracelets, earrings, and necklaces.
