Beaucoup de Bijoux is the design collaboration of artists and sisters, Rose West and Stephanie Quintero. With a home base in the Rocky Mountains of Utah, our handmade pieces are heavily influenced by nature, oftentimes evolving throughout the entire creative process. We incorporate both ancient and modern techniques into our jewelry designs to create each of our finished pieces. Our favorite materials include precious and semi-precious gemstones, and various precious metals. We use fair-trade gemstones from reliable sources and eco friendly metal whenever possible. Our pieces are available in our online Etsy store (beaucoupdebijoux.etsy.com), at the Downtown Farmer's/Arts & Crafts Market in Salt Lake City, the Ethereal Day Spa (Portland, OR) and at local street/arts & crafts fairs. Custom Work is always welcome Rose is a Graduate Jeweler (G.J.) of the Gemological Institute of America and has 15 years experience creating and designing jewelry. She finds inspiration in natural elements of all kinds and carefully creates each of her pieces in fine detail. Rose works out of her home studio in Cottonwood Heights, Utah where she resides with her husband, Dan, and their bernese mountain dog. Stephanie began learning jewelry design technique as her sister’s apprentice in 2004, and before that earned her M.A., Political Science, from the University of Utah. She finds inspiration from her garden, local architecture and the historic neighborhood she lives in with her husband, Jesus, and their two children.
