Oak & Iron Workshop

Who are we?

Our Story

Beautiful wood deserves more than one life.

At L’Atelier Chêne & Fer, we transform carefully selected pieces of wood into unique, handcrafted jewellery and accessories, made slowly in our workshop in south-west France.

The story began in my husband’s cabinetmaking workshop. After decades of creating bespoke furniture, there were always beautiful offcuts left behind — pieces of oak, walnut and other characterful woods, too special to waste.

Inspired by their natural grain, warmth and imperfections, I began giving these small pieces a second life, transforming them by hand into jewellery designed to be worn, loved and treasured.

What started as a simple desire to waste less has become something very close to our hearts: creating beautiful pieces with a story, celebrating traditional craftsmanship and allowing natural materials to live on in a new form.

Handcrafted in France. Made slowly. Made to last.
