As both a collector and creator, Sisi Joia finds inspiration in the quiet allure of forgotten objects. Drawn to antique beads and hand-blown glass discovered in Paris's hidden markets, this brand gathers fragments of color from the past and transforms them into glimmers of the future.

Each piece begins with glass drops that evolve into ethereal forms, holding the tension between the personal and the timeless.

what makes this brand sustainable?

handmade, local production

Sisi Joia designs and produces the majority of their pieces within a two-mile radius of their studio in Paris, France. Their jewelry is handmade by the designer herself and her close friends.

circularity

This brand often sources antique glass beads from suppliers with 100-year-old inventories. Rooted in a rich history of French haute couture, these beads carry meaning and materiality from the past in fresh, contemporary configurations. When not working with antique beads, Sisi Joia uses handblown glass beads by local French artisans.
