Using vintage silver coins, antique medallions, beautiful stones, and
glossy fresh water pearls this Vancouver-based designer creates diverse
pieces with an upscale vintage vibe. De Rousseau oxidizes and sands her
silver, which produces that perfect aged look that gives the collection
a distinct feeling of authenticity. Rocker girls will love the “Colibri
Noir” collection, which mixes burnished crosses and keys with thick
silver chains, while the “Marbre Gris” pieces feature natural Howlite
beads favored by hippie chicks. Look for the new chunky belts and
buckles just released for Spring ‘09, cast from large French medallions
and sealed with a barbed wire hand stamp, the perfect companion for
your new fall denim.
