Our Story

Meet the Chef

 

After living in France for two years, I fell in love with the effortless charm, playfulness, and timeless style woven into everyday life there. That inspiration became the heart of Oui Chef — a one-woman studio dedicated to creating affordable heirloom jewelry that tells a story and lasts a lifetime.


Each piece begins at my workbench, where I hand-sculpt every design before it’s cast by a small U.S.-based casting house. I use solid yellow bronze for its warm, 14k gold hue — beautiful, durable, and accessible. Oui Chef Studio jewelry is made to be worn, loved, and eventually passed down — from you, to your daughters, and their daughters after them.

So Why the Name Oui Chef?

You may be surprised to find out that the word chef actually has no specific connection to food or even cooking at all. The word chef is a French-derived word meaning boss or chief. I love the name Oui Chef because it feels so empowering. YOU are the boss and chief of your life, so it’s important to feel that way! My entire goal is that you feel beautiful, empowered, timeless, vibrant, and unbothered while wearing your Oui Chef.
