Double Take

Honeydoux Jewelry

You dreamed of a sib to play with, dress with, and laugh with. Instead you got a brat who knocked out your front teeth the night before Picture Day.

You could curse the stork. Or you could thank him — for delivering sisters Jeanée and Suzanne Ledoux, the designers behind Honeydoux jewelry.

Naturally, they work best when separated: They collaborate on the designs from their home studios in Atlanta and New Orleans, paying homage to the urban travel and natural beauty that keeps them apart.

Journey is a collection of necklaces and bracelets full of sailboat charms, glass cabochon, and steering wheels; the Garden line is all about chain-veiled glass medallions; vintage brass tulips; and drop earrings made from garnet-colored glass resembling birds’ wings and the like.

Bet you can’t wait to share with your one and only.

Your closet.
