Lunes Bijoux
French based designer, Kylee Milner established Lunes Bijoux after an inspirational visit to a wonderful beadstore in the South of France in 2003. She immediately fell in love with the colours, textures and forms and began to develop her own range of designs under the Lunes Bijoux logo. Initially, Kylee’s focus was with dichroic glass and semi-precious gemstones. However since 2006 Kylee has developed her skills in using polymer clay and now believes she is a leader in this field.
Kylee firmly believes in jewellery which has impact. It takes a degree of confidence and attitude to wear her designs.
Kylee offers an individual design service either via the internet or alternatively from her French studio in Luc Sur Orbieu, France.
As a result of Kylee’s passionate creations Andy has also become involved with the business and is now responsible for the wonderful finishing touches on all polymer clay pieces. Andy has been known to spend hours sanding & buffing single pieces to absolute perfection.
Lunes atelier was officially opened on the 18 March 2006.
In March 2007 Lunes was awarded the Atelier d’Art award. This logo is awarded on the basis of quality of craftmanship.
A new creation for 2007 was the arrival of Manon Lily -
slightly earlier than planned but an absolute treasure!
In March 2008 – Lunes underwent a significant face lift to include a larger work space area for Kylee, improved storage facilities accomodating the polymer oven and machinery and most importantly the creation of a bead shop and craft centre “Corbières Créatives”.
Kylee’s professional teaching / consultancy background enables her to run high quality linguistic and jewellery / polymer courses throughout the year both in English & French.
Kylee is the organiser of Euro Clay France 2009 with 6 international teachers and 80 participants and she is also responsible for any future events under the “Clay Corbières Créatives” logo in particular March 2010 and beyond!
In 2009 Kylee was appointed International Liaison Officer for the International Polymer Clay Association in America. Kylee is a true ambassador in the polymer clay world!
Lunes Bijoux is now complete – comeand see for yourself!
I love your jewellery and your blog. I envy you living in France. I had a house in Valbonne, just north of Cannes when I was married – we have just sold it due to our split – heart wrenching! I miss the house more than I miss my ex….
This sounds like a wonderful life you two have created for yourselves, pursuing your dreams.
If you don’t pursue your dreams what’s the point of dreaming?
Just taking a peek as well. Nice blog and thanks for visiting mine.
Lovely, innovative jewellery!
Thanks for visiting my site : – )
Bonjour, j’ai essayé de vous envoyer ce message à partir du site Lunes mais il me semble que cela n’a pas fonctionné, excusez moi si vous l’avez déjà reçu. Je me permets d’écrire en français.
J’ai été très touchée de votre commentaire sur le polymer clay daily du 16 avril (qui publie deux photos de mes bijoux et l’adresse de mon blog).
Je travaille la pâte polymère depuis environ trois ans et je me suis naturellement orientée vers la création de bijoux, mais cela reste une activité non professionnelle. J’ai créé mon blog à l’automne dernier pour présenter mes réalisations et créations ainsi que pour dialoguer et échanger avec d’autres passionnés. Votre message m’a permis de découvrir avec plaisir et admiration votre site qui présente des pièces très belles, qu’elle soient à base de pâte polymère ou de pierres.
Avec mes remerciements, bien cordialement,
Cécile Gouton
lunes – the knitting needles are Boyer double ended aluminum needles in a pack of 4 for $4. they are 7″ long, tapered at both ends, and are a very common item in our shops. they are about the thickness of a pencil and feel good in the hand. i am not a knitter so don’t know how they are used with yarn, but they are superb at fine smoothing poly clay surfaces.
thanks for your comments. i am enjoying your blog and photos, too!
Your work is marvelous, and your blog is great ! I love your jewelry designs, they are truly unique…
Good morning
Your site is really great.
Would you be kind enough to add my link.
Me too, I am bringing something lovely to the Aude people with the aim of improving their lives.
Kind regards
Lyndsay.
Hello – as a long time Brit in France (some 35 years) and now retired from the world of conference circuits, and big business, I’m intrigued with the world of clay creations ( am also speciaist photograher and artist) so I found a little time for myself all those years!!!
I’m writing in English, but have French nationality too and fluent French, having authored a technical legal book in French…
I’ve seen a wonderful thing called a Bead Board (on US site – where a lot of info abounds) Have you any recommendations for French suppliers of these and/or generally clay products in general. WOuld drop in to see you, but I live in Paris and the Drome ….. Many thanks.
Love your site! I would love to join a European polymer clay group, there isn’t much in the way of inspirational forums in the UK yet but I’m really enjoying seeing all the blogs!
Hey Lorna – why not come along to the European event in march – Clay Corbieres Creatives I?
You know I might just do that! Rob and I are up for some travel in the new year now that we have our caravan.

I am pretty booked up with talks about polymer clay and soapmaking (another of our crafts) so I’ll have to see how it goes
