Always on the Lookout for Something Different 

   As we shop for products for both stores, we aim to bring you unique, well made, reasonably priced, high style and a little wow factor.  When I found Batucada & Looksur Jewelry in January, I felt they checked all those boxes.  I thought it interesting that some of the pieces are soy based aka vegetable rubber.  The necklaces & bracelets are hypoallergenic and almost look like a tattoo against the skin.

Founded in 2005 by Loick Leblond, a Frenchman from Perros-Guirec, which is in NW France, Batucada represents the culmination of French design & sophistication and the exuberance of Brazilian beach Culture; the convergence of the sublime with edgy creativity.

Batucada’s exquisite designs are made from signature eco-friendly materials (a combination of vegetable-based products (80%) and certified sustainable hardeners(20%).   From the silky and weightless material to the intricate patterns, Batucada jewelry is hand crafted and produced with a socially responsible mindset. 

Designed in France by a diverse community of artists, Batucada products are 100% recyclable and packaging is made from 100% recycled paper.  Materials used are nickel-free, silicone-free, latex-free, phthalate-free, lead-free and petroleum-free.
