Paris 2023

In October 2023, On U Jewelry designer Donna Silvestri traveled to Paris to source rare vintage beads, buttons, and antique finds at the legendary Marché de Vanves and Marché Vernaison flea markets. These one-of-a-kind materials find their way into On U Jewelry's handcrafted pieces — each with its own history and story to tell. Here's a glimpse into the trip.
