Fun - that's how I would describe jewelry designs by Deborah Stein of Bonbon Oiseau.

Adorning ourselves is one way to celebrate life, to enjoy ourselves, and feel good, and that's as it should be. Stein seem to totally get this.

She describes her design philosophy on her site:

Deborah is seduced by one (and some)-of-a-kind vintage and antique notions, charms, glass beads and stones which she handpicks from markets all over the world. The history of the elements combine with modern components so that each Bonbon Oiseau piece is imbued with spirit, intimacy and mystery and each becomes a very meaningful little visual poem.

"I want the woman who finds my pieces to feel the excitement of coming across a rare little treasure and when she wears it, is confident sharing her enticing little 'story'."
