Paris, France — Fashion or costume jewelry is often a great alternative to the real thing. Safer to wear in large cities, but, too, it has been seen on the block in prestigious auction houses and on fashionable celebrities’s necks, wrists and ears. And it is an awful lot of fun to collect given its whimsical designs, colorful stones, myriad possibilities for layering and a perfect alternative to wear on the beach. Which brings us to the new collection brought out by the Belgian house of Victoria Bijoux simply entitled Beach Collection and which brings together colorful bracelets, delightful earrings, a host of necklaces and everyone’s favorite beach wear, the ankle bracelet. The house makes a point of using recycled materials, especially the metals making it a good choice for Earth Day. 

The pieces are made with a host of different metals, beads and semi-precious stones. And at prices that have never heard of inflation. Victoria Bijoux came into existence in 1991 when it was founded in Brussels by Françoise Kaisin and remains the largest in person seller of jewelry in France for the Victoria Lady comes to you just like the Avon Lady. But you can also purchase on-line, but we like the idea of the house’s commitment to personalized service. In France alone Victoria has some 6,000 sales representatives and 10,000 throughout Europe. It’s like having a jewelry boutique pop up in your home. Bijoux means jewelry in French. Each piece comes with a guarantee and the house’s stamp. ©Trish Valicenti for The Gourmet Gazette. https://victoria-bijoux.fr/fr-fr
