Monsieur Pamplemousse, 410 S. MIchigan Avenue Suite 702, Chicago, IL (2026)

Grapefruit in French, a name given to me after my favorite fruit in French class. I design and make jewelry using precious & semi-precious stones. Either set or wire worked with sterling silver, 14kgf, copper, brass and other alternative materials. I do not have a specific genre or style, I pretty much make jewelry according to whatever inspires me. My inspirations come from looking through history books to staring at masonry work of buildings. Which here in Chicago I have plenty buildings to inspire me, like The Rookery, The Carson's Building on State st., and The Goldblatt's building in Uptown, to name a few.

Caminho de Marlon

Part of the Talismans + Amulets collection—
pieces rooted in symbols of protection, intention, and meaning.

Lately, I’ve been inspired by nature and my orixás.

This collection comes from a moment of change in my own life—of learning to release, to trust, and to begin again.

The serpent embodies that energy: transformation, renewal, and quiet protection.

These pieces reflect my hope of stepping into a new phase, and choosing to move forward—even when the path isn’t fully clear.

Guided by the universe, grounded in intention, trusting the path as it reveals itself.

Choose the one that speaks to you.

Hello everyone,

I’ve been meaning to share this since April 1st, but life and creativity had their own timing.

This month marks 4 years officially at the Fine Arts Building.

And this week, as the building opens its doors for Second Fridays, I would love to invite you all to stop by, say hello, and celebrate this moment with me.

I want to thank the Fine Arts Building for welcoming me into such a historic and creative space. It is truly an honor to be surrounded by so many talented artists.

I also want to thank my fellow artists and friends who helped bring this space to life—those who painted alongside me, shared their art, collaborated on projects, and those whose work I am still in the process of honoring. Your contributions are part of this space, and I am deeply grateful. I look forward to continuing to support and uplift one another.

As I move into this next chapter, my studio is evolving into my ateliê and creative studio—a space where I return to painting, explore fashion, create candles, design floral arrangements, deepen my eye for photography, and continue weaving history into my work while honoring all the cultures that shape me.

Step into a space where all five senses are awakened—where every piece is created with memory, intention, and a deep love for storytelling.

This studio has been built with care and respect for those who came before me. I am simply adding my layer to its rich and ongoing tapestry.
