On Wednesday, November 10 from 6:30-8:30pm Abeille was thrilled to host wire-working artist, Kolleen Burbank.

Kolleen began beading in her hometown in Connecticut. Her favorite pieces use wire-wrapping to put a twist on classic styles. Kolleen has always enjoyed experimenting with different chains. More recently, she has incorporated wire-wrapped beads into chain pieces to strike a good balance between delicate and casual jewelry.

We are pleased to have some of Kolleen’s pieces available to our customers throughout the holidays.

Tanya Moss, of Laurels and Moss, is a self-taught jewelry maker born and raised here in Brookline. She began creating jewelry in her best friend’s kitchen in elementary school and completed her first pair of earrings after five long hours at that kitchen table–but from that day on she was hooked.  Since then, she has focused on wire working, improved her techniques, and outfitted her family and friends with all the jewelry they could ever want.

Recently, while working at Abeille, she has expanded her repertoire to include working with ribbons, chains, and hand-knotted stones.  She works mostly in antique metals, giving her jewelry an earthy and comfortable feel.  Sometimes inspired by nature but mostly inspired by her friends, Tanya creates exciting pieces that are eye-catching but easy to wear.

Tanya will also be sharing some wire wrapping techniques. So come along on Sunday, December 12 from 1-5pm

We are pleased to host Sudio Julienne on Sunday, December 19 from 11pm-5pm.

Love, Memories, Dreams, Passion and Play are all evocative elements incorporated into Julienne’s one of a kind handcrafted jewelry objets d’art studio collection.

Originally from New York City, Julienne’s career in the fashion industry includes apparel product development for Betsy Johnson, Nicole Miller, and notable major retailers. In addition, her love of accessories and conceptual eclecticism inspired her to create her jewelry collection, a labor of love and expression, for the last several years.

Now a Brookline resident, her one of a kind vintage “story/love letters” lockets have become highly collectible, as have her pieces incorporating spiritual deities, vintage good karma and wish charms.

Her use of color is energetic, unexpected and fashion forward, mixing semi-precious stones in complementary, as well as contrasting color stories.

The collection includes necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and home accessories.
