This week I'd love to introduce you to the magnificent world of Maddie the designer behind Petit Rococo.
Madeleine, Maddie, is 27 , she grew up in River Forest but now she live in Chicago, a fantastic vibrant city! Windy, very windy but so much fascinating!
Inspired by her travels abroad, specifically to Vienna and Paris, her jewelry line captures her style and love of historical architecture and romantic clothing. The name, "Petit Rococo" comes from the French word ‘petit’ meaning small and Rococo in reference to the 18th century art movement. The combination of these words presents the wearer with something a little feminine and romantic.
Maddie decided to offer this very cute bracelet ...
She agreed to answer to some quick question ... here her quick answers! Enjoy!
Hi Maddie, welcome to my Wonderland. Can you tell us something about you and about your jewels? How and when everything started?
In December 2009 after I was laid off from my work I decided to pursue jewelry desig.
