The heart of the project

August in Winter was born from a young girl’s dream on August 7, 2020. The story was woven around summer memories, with the beach and the ocean as a backdrop.
The creative and sensory approach invites freedom and sharing, making our timeless jewels with their mysterious messages true symbols. Their pure lines, their stylized forms, give them a well marked character opening, in addition to the memory, the doors of the imagination. From research to reflection, a universe emerges from which emerge with subtlety, paradox and duality, the main threads and signature of the brand.
To make our jewelry, jewelry that looks like you, we offer you the freedom to bring your personal touch.
Like each of us, the features of our jewelry, made by hand, have irregularities, making each piece unique. The choice of precious metals, recycled, responds to a constant quest for quality, ethics and eco-responsibility to make jewels that pass through time, are transmitted…
This project carries strong values and the desire to contribute to the construction of a world turned towards others, concerned about its environment. The packaging and supports made by hand from upcycled or recycled supplies are durable and reusable.

The creator

Curious about everything, interested in everything and touching everything, Marie Aurore was encouraged at a very young age to develop her artistic fibre, within a family environment that was conducive to artistic awakening, with aesthetic parents. Self-taught at heart, what she didn’t learn, she experienced by herself calling upon the sense of observation and practicality inherited from her father when she was a child, she played the apprentice handyman. As a teenager, encouraged by her parents, she entered a fashion design school.
In the prime of her life, she had the opportunity to renew with one of her first “loves”, jewelry, encouraged in this sense by the artisan jeweler who had welcomed her in training at the age of 17.

This choice is not just the realization of a teenage dream, but the logical continuation of a career path that is eclectic to say the least, and whose experiences enable her to strive for a certain quality. A certified fashion designer, she has learned to structure her work, from inspiration to the creation of collections. One of the learnings was also to understand the desires and needs of the customers, by proposing products that look like them and adapt to their morphotype. Alongside her father, a dental surgeon, Marie Aurore acquired meticulousness and rigor as well as certain technical gestures common to the jewelry industry. She was able to put into practice her skills with a jeweler before starting her own business.

August in Winter is an opportunity to combine her love of design, writing and working with her hands. Everything starts with a memory, an idea and the story is woven, the creations come to life. This is how the magic happens and how a bond is created between her clients and her…
