Every new season Mariana launches a new collection with an outstanding array of colours with very distinctive and varied styles.

Mariana's pieces are made with components as varied as the moods they convey. Dazzling hand-cut gemstones... exquisite Swarovski crystals, some new, some over a hundred years old... handmade fabric beads... she draws from an endless variety of colours and materials to bring her inspirations to life. For a finishing touch, they are plated in gold or silver (and nickel-free with the exception of her yellow gold matte finish)

Au Bout Des Rêves jewellery combines French art and history in a way that no one else can. The metal framework of this jewellery is brass stampings made from original French moulds; still available in Paris, predominantly from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods. Some are from the Rococo (think Marie Antoinette), Victorian and Edwardian periods. These classic French designs form the foundation for Au Bout Des Rêves creations. Silver is layered over the brass stampings; using a traditional French technique, much of the range comes beautifully enamelled with a kaleidoscope of colours, adorned with Swarovski crystals, beads and pearls. All work is done by hand so minor variations can be expected from piece to piece. Treasure these pieces and they will become heirloom items.

The workshop in central France was originally established by French artist Catherine Popesco in the 1970's. After a recent hiatus, the workshop reopened under new management in early 2017.
