The Jewelry Upcycling Workshop - A Unique Creative Experience in your Parisian trip
Are you looking for something truly special to do in Paris? A souvenir that you create yourself, and a joyful, out of time moment dedicated to color and fashion? My jewelry upcycling workshops offer just that. ♻️🌈💫

Jewelry Upcycling Workshop in Paris - Create your own souvenir
Forget the Eiffel Tower keychains. Why not craft your own Parisian souvenir? In my jewelry making workshops, you’ll learn how to transform vintage and forgotten pieces into something new and beautiful. Even if you're not into upcycling yet, you'll learn the fundamentals of jewelry making, with a unique eco-friendly twist. You’ll leave not just with a unique piece of jewelry, but with the story of how you made it, in cozy places in the heart of the City of Light.
A great thing to Do in Paris for creatives and makers ? A jewelry making experience
If you're someone who loves working with your hands, experimenting with design or learning new crafts, this workshop is for you. It’s open to beginners, no prior skills required. The atmosphere is relaxed and warm, you’ll be guided step by step to disassemble, sort, and recreate your own jewel from a curated selection of materials and vintage pearls. I also share my best repair tips. A fun way to discover jewelry making. You will be surprised to see yourself handling the 5 red pliers with such concentration and application! 🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞
Everyone, from young teenagers to seniors (and yes, men are also welcome!) can create jewelry according to their style and inspirations, and this results in an extraordinary variety of creations! Do not hesitate to visit my Instagram account to see the atmosphere of the workshops and the jewelry transformations that are made there.

DIY jewelry experience in Paris - A sustainable choice
These workshops are not only fun and creative — they’re also part of a conscious lifestyle. I collect unused, outmoded or broken costume jewelry and give it a second life. As a participant, you’ll take part in this circular process and discover how upcycling can turn old forgotten items into new treasures. It’s eco-friendly, meaningful, and you’ll feel proud of what you make.
Small group jewelry workshop in Paris - Friendly and Personal
Each session is held in small groups, in cozy venues across Paris. You’ll have the time and space to ask questions, try things, and really dive into the process. Whether you’re traveling solo, with a friend, or planning a special outing (like a birthday or a mother-daughter activity), this is a wonderful way to connect.
Where to Take a Jewelry Workshop in Paris?
I offer these workshops several times a month in several Parisian neighborhoods, usually in the 11th, 13th and 15th arrondissement, and also in the neighboring town of Boulogne, all easily accessible by metro. You can find all upcoming workshop dates on my website. Places are limited to 8 people to ensure a quality experience, so it’s best to book in advance. Sessions last from 1.5 to 3 hours. You’ll leave with at least one finished piece. You are a group? I can schedule additional dates just for you upon request!
I also travel with all the equipment for private sessions for 2 people or more, at your hotel or in your airbnb, day or night! - Contact me for dates and book your private session here
