This year at Perles&Co, the most creative cities for Christmas are : Paris, followed by Lyon, Burgundy, Toulouse and Marseille! Elsewhere in the world, cities like Milan, Rome, Madrid, Montreal and Bogota are also among the DIY addicts!
If Christmas has such a unique magic, it’s undoubtedly because it reawakens our desire to create, to give, and to use our hands to craft one-of-a-kind gifts. As cities are decked out in lights, ideas are buzzing in workshops, on workbenches, and in bead boxes…
Grab your pliers, beads, and creativity: here are the most creative cities this Christmas!
There’s no dethroning Paris! Once again this year, the capital tops the list of the most creative cities for the holidays.
With its bustling neighborhoods, diverse styles, emerging trends, and endless urban inspiration, Paris stands out as THE number one city for DIY jewelry this Christmas.
A piece of jewelry to represent Paris? Paris is the fashion capital, so we inevitably think of very trendy jewelry… And speaking of current trends, we love charm jewelry and hoop earrings with a hollow flower pendant.
Lyon takes second place! It seems that between strolls at the Festival of Lights, the people of Lyon find time for DIY projects… Charm necklaces? Flower earrings? Lucky charm bracelets? In Lyon, you don’t have to choose—you make them all (and follow the Perles&Co tutorials 😉)!
A DIY piece of jewelry to represent Lyon? Lyon is the City of Lights, and when you think of lights, you think of colors! So to represent the capital of gastronomy, we’d be inclined to choose our dangling earrings with resin petals or our Miyuki bracelet made on a loom.
Taking third place on the podium, Burgundy stands out for its charm and creative energy!
A handmade piece of jewelry to represent Burgundy? When you think of Burgundy, you can’t help but think of wine and the ocean… So for jewelry that represents this city, we’d choose either our fringed earrings made with Miyuki beads in shades of burgundy, green, and red—which almost evoke the vineyards—or a nautical-inspired set, perfect for getaways to the ocean.
In fourth place, Toulouse performs brilliantly... And as a company based in Albi, we’re proud to see our neighbors so high on this list!
A piece of jewelry to represent Toulouse? Of course, we’d choose something pink, in homage to its nickname: the Pink City! So why not some pretty hoop earringsmade of tinted Régalite or a pink tourmaline necklace?
In fifth place is Marseille, whose creative dynamism never ceases to amaze. Mediterranean influences, a mix of cultures, the energy of the South… Marseille’s creations are often vibrant, expressive, and sunny.
A DIY piece of jewelry to represent Marseille? We’d choose our bracelet made of freshwater beads and faceted blue beads with a cute fish charm… What could be more Marseille than the blue and white colors in homage to Olympique de Marseille (OM)!
And in the same vein, we also have hoop earrings with heishi beads and nautical charms.
Beyond France’s borders, other cities really stand out for their creativity during the holiday season. In Europe, Milan, Madrid, and Rome are the most creative! And if we look beyond Europe, Montreal, Santiago, and Bogotá make the list.
Everywhere, DIY jewelry is becoming a unique way to give gifts, share experiences, and create precious memories!
And you—which city will you turn to for inspiration for your Christmas creations?
