Éclat Bohème Crafts Jewellery That Feels Like It Already Lived a Life

Jewellery is often about precision—flawless cuts, perfect symmetry, polished edges that gleam under showroom lights. Éclat Bohème is not. It leans into the raw, the imperfect, the textured. Founded by model and blogger Maha Shehata, the brand finds its rhythm in nature’s asymmetry, sculpting rings, necklaces, and cuffs that feel more like relics of a lost world than mass-produced accessories.

Some brands are built on market research and trend forecasts. Éclat Bohème started with a dream—literally. “I saw a piece of jewellery in a dream, vivid and clear in every detail,” Shehata recalls. “I spent days searching for something similar but found nothing that matched what I saw. I figured, why not create it myself?”

That vision materialized into a label that blends ancient craftsmanship with modern wearability. Gold vermeil and natural stones take centre stage, their rough textures left intact, their edges sculpted into fluid, organic shapes. The brand’s identity is rooted in movement—pieces that feel like they’ve been shaped by the elements, worn by time, molded to the body rather than sitting stiffly against it.

“I find my inspiration and creativity in nature, which is truly my go-to for everything,” Shehata says. “If I’m having a bad day, I head to the park; if it’s a good day, I love going to the beach. When my mind feels foggy, I’ll take a two-hour walk along the cliffs by the sea.”

Shehata’s designs reject the polished uniformity of conventional jewellery, opting instead for pieces that embrace irregularity—chunky malachite rings, molten gold cuffs, dramatic collar necklaces that catch the light like rippling water. Every design carries a sense of movement, of something unfinished yet complete.

The brand’s tagline, "Even if the sun does not shine… our jewellery will," is lifted from an unreleased song by Shehata’s close friend, musician AIKK. A tattooed lyric turned guiding principle, it encapsulates Éclat Bohème’s ethos—finding beauty in the unpredictable and the weathered.

Each design begins as a sketch, then moves into 3D modeling before being cast into gold vermeil, ensuring the final piece is as fluid in form as it was in concept. There’s no forced symmetry, no rigid perfection—just the kind of jewellery that looks like it has a past, a story, a sense of belonging.

Some designs hold personal significance. “My favorite piece is the La Cascade necklace—it’s my first design and the piece I actually dreamt of,” Shehata says. It embodies the brand’s ethos: movement, fluidity, something that feels like it’s caught mid-transformation.

Then there’s the Judas ring—a snake coiled around two malachite stones. “The name Judas symbolizes betrayal, drawing a parallel to the snake as a traditional symbol of deceit,” Shehata explains. Jewellery as metaphor, as memory, as something to be worn not just as an accessory, but as an extension of the self.

Éclat Bohème doesn’t try to fit into a mold. It’s sculptural but wearable, bold but intimate. It resists perfection in favor of character. “Every piece is meant to carry a sense of freedom with it—a reminder that you’re part of something bigger,” Shehata says. And maybe that’s the beauty of it—jewellery that doesn’t just sit on the skin, but moves with you, grows with you, belongs to you.
