August & June

Beverly Hills, CA

We created August & June for the woman who confidently knows who she is and whimsically dreams of whom she’s still becoming – the woman writing her own story. We believe in celebrating every day, everywhere, with some sparkle – whether at a client meeting or in downward dog. We believe a stacked wrist can embolden a woman to take ownership, of her style and her life. August & June is named after our birthday months and we hope that wearing our pieces elicits all that comes with summer vibes – sunny days, fun nights and effortless style. - Brigitte & Nicolette

Meet the designer

Describe your designs in three words

Feminine, stackable, timeless

What is your daily jewelry uniform?

I have so many different styles when it comes to my clothing and the outfits I wear day to day so my jewelry uniform is always changing. On my neck I’m currently wearing two of our dancing chokers stacked at different lengths with our diamond by the yard lariat. On my ears I’m currently stacking our mini dancing hoops in my first piercing and diamond safety pin earrings in my second. If I’m going out at night I’ll swap out my mini hoops for a large pair of our dancing hoops, add a more substantial wire choker to my neck, and usually change up my ring stack. - Nicolette

Do you have a motto?

We believe in celebrating every day, everywhere, with some sparkle – whether at a client meeting or in downward dog.

What was the first piece of jewelry you splurged on?

I bought myself an enamel Hermes H bangle I had been eyeing for a while with a paycheck from my first job out of college. It gave me a satisfying sense of ownership, independence and pride to have bought it for myself instead of it being gifted to me. To this day, each time I look at it or wear it I am motivated to hustle harder especially on the stressful days of running an entrepreneurial business. - Brigitte

Where do you draw inspiration from?

We draw inspiration from current high fashion trends that we want to make more accessible to the everyday woman. We are always getting inspiration from both the runway as well as street style. Another source of inspiration is from our travels. We love going to new places and seeing new trends emerge and bring them back home through our designs.

What is your creative process? Walk us through each stage.

It is very important for our entire line to be cohesive, curated, and complementary of one another. When we go to design a new piece it starts off with a sketch, that then gets made into a mold. Once the first sample is made, we then test the product ourselves by wearing it and styling it with our other pieces. We make sure to wear the pieces in multiple settings; from the gym to nights out. We always want to test the durability of the piece as well as see people's response to the designs.
