Brocante: Up-Cycled Jewelry

French Flea Market treasures are retrieved and repurposed into dramatic and amusing art-to-wear!

​

Nan Gard and Kay Pederson have been collaborating, as Brocante, for ten plus years.

We travel to France to visit the Paris flea

markets which provide us with the components

& inspiration for our artfully designed statement necklaces. We find the artifacts, add antique, vintage, and/or new beads then connect them with stringing wire and/or anodized steel wire.

The necklaces are finished with our own antique button/bead loop fasteners. This gives us our signature look…very bold and dramatically different!
