We were delighted when Noémie contacted us last week to tell us about her jewelry line. I asked her a few questions, and here is what she had to say:

Lisa: How did you get started as a jewelry designer, and tell us how you decided to create each piece with a feather.

Noémie: I started Noémiah about two years ago. Since the very beginning, I’ve always used feathers. I discovered a real passion. I think I’ve always wanted to create, since I was a child. Just create, escape from the world sometimes and forget about everything! Feathers can really be colored: I like the way I can mix them together to create different tints, structure and form. I also love the sensuality and their delicate aspect.

Lisa: Where do you find your inspiration for your spring, fall, and holiday collections?

Noémie: First, I must say that I am a fashion addict! I am inspired by street styling and fashion blogs. I think that, unconsciously, I must be inspired by many fashion trends! For example, for my fall/winter collection, I used a lot of dark black, big big chains and layers. I love to invent new designs again and again! For Christmas, I was thinking of something more pure, with whites, cream. I also wanted the feathers lighter, more feminine, more delicate. As in this piece [Snowflake Poem - Feather and Chain Necklace].

Lisa: What do you enjoy most about creating jewelry?

Noémie: Everything! But if I want to be honest, feedback from sellers. They can be so lovely sometimes it makes my day. And oh… creating collections. I think I always think of it, everyday I get a new idea: note to myself… don’t forget this, right this before you forget!

Lisa: Are there any great items on your Christmas list that our readers might enjoy?

Noémie: This is a very special design, I love the little egyptian side of the big plated structure. This piece is very unique, I love the feathers, falling like little fringe [Winter Beauty - Feather and Chain Necklace].

And maybe these earrings, very very long, infinity design: “Fox in the snow.”
