PASSAGE DORE

My sister, Louise Damas, makes jewelry that is timeless and affordable—I’m never without one of her pieces! They’re sold at Atelier Couronnes, a boutique she launched with the designer of the leather-goods brand Fauvette. Louise has two collections: one is more costume jewelry, in gold-plated brass, and the other fine jewelry, in silver and vermeil. Head to the back of the shop to catch a glimpse of Louise’s atelier, where each piece is handmade. You’ll probably see her dog, a beautiful akita, lying at her feet.
