Editor’s Note
From a quiet corner of Vexin-sur-Epte to a global clientele, Maëlle and Christopher Coat prove that passion and craftsmanship know no borders. Their custom jewelry business is a true success story.
A young couple in their thirties, Maëlle and Christopher Coat, are experiencing an extraordinary adventure in Vexin-sur-Epte (Eure). Their custom jewelry is sold worldwide.
This is what is called a success story. After their studies in Rouen—she in psychology, he in computer science—Maëlle and Christopher settled in Lille, then Paris, and finally in Vexin-sur-Epte (Eure), where in 2019 they bought a house in Bois-d’Écos. The family grew.
Thus was born the shop Les P’tits Mots on the online sales platform Etsy. A risky bet, but successful.
Indeed, if you type “custom jewelry” into a search engine, you come across their creations. The success is such that Christopher decided, three years ago, to join the adventure; he is notably the one who engraves the jewelry with a laser.
The entire range is made of stainless steel.
Most are offered for under 20 euros. Without compromising on quality. “Customers sometimes add medals to an existing piece of jewelry and tell me it hasn’t moved.”
Also a big success are the Liberty of London fabric bracelets. The packaging is also delightful with a floral decoration of the most beautiful effect. “It makes all the difference to receive your jewelry in a beautiful case.”
Shipments are made by mail for under 3 euros. And the paradox is that they are better known in New York than in Vexin-sur-Epte! Hence their idea to contact Le Démocrate.
So, residents of Norman Vexin, don’t delay, there won’t be enough for everyone!
