The Bijoux FAB was founded by Pascale Sylvain, who began designing jewelry in 2012. Born and raised in Quebec, Pascale moved to Texas in 2014 and built the company there. Today, she leads a team of women making jewelry in North Texas.

Most of the brand’s core jewelry is handmade or hand-strung in North Texas by The Bijoux FAB team. Some pieces are pre-made or created by outside artists, and those products are identified individually with their maker and origin

Depending on the design, pieces may feature sterling silver, turquoise, moonstone, larimar, spiny oyster, freshwater pearls, shell, and other natural stones. The brand’s signature sterling silver pearls are machine-made from .925 sterling silver and then incorporated into jewelry by the Texas team.

The Bijoux FAB uses several types of genuine turquoise, including natural, stabilized, and composite or reconstituted turquoise, depending on the piece. Turquoise is sourced from locations including the United States, Mexico, China, Kazakhstan, and other regions, with specific mine origin identified only when known.

No. The brand is very clear that its signature sterling silver pearls are machine-made and are not Native American or Navajo-made. The Bijoux FAB intentionally avoids representing its own pieces as Native-made and separately identifies authentic Native-made jewelry when it carries work by individual artists.

The brand recommends keeping pieces out of water and using a soft polishing cloth on sterling silver. Natural stones and silver will develop their own character over time, so gentle storage and care will help preserve the finish.
