Marie-Restitude Millien has been creating bronze jewelry since 2016 in Calenzana. Her creations are exhibited at the Citadel of Calvi and available online, categorized under three themes: identity creations, religious symbols, and Corsican flora.

Bronze Work in Calvi

Marie-Restitude has her workshop in Calenzana. Visits are held at the Calvi boutique, which she shares with Martine from 2nde Vie Création and Virginie Torrelli from the Atraverre Glassworks.

The boutique's opening hours are from Monday to Saturday, 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM and in the afternoon from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

Marie-Restitude has honed her skills in bronze work using metal clay and plans to soon craft other metals such as silver and copper.

Her Journey

After studying accounting, Marie-Restitude worked as a saleswoman in a tourist shop. Life circumstances led her to pursue a career change. Her skills assessment pointed her towards the arts. Following six months of pottery training, she turned to smaller pieces and the bronze working method - Art Clay Silver - which originated in Japan. Marie-Restitude has completed two of the three levels of training with Sabine Alienor. Her work was sent directly to the Japanese archipelago, the only place authorized to validate this training.

The methodology and firing process are similar to pottery. For each piece, Marie-Restitude uses metal particles mixed with an organic binder. Under the effect of heat, the binder burns away, leaving only the metal particles to fuse together.

Ring, Pendant, Earring

At the boutique, you will find all types of jewelry and objects: rings, signet rings, pendants alone or on necklaces, earrings, as well as magnets, bookmarks, scarf rings, pareo buckles, and keychains. These creations are divided into three families:

• Identity: Medallion of Corsica, seal of independent Corsica from 1762, Moor's head, soldi (reproduction of Corsican coins)
• Religious: Cross pendants, medallion of Saint-Restitude, rosaries, angels
• Flora and Forms: Leaf, vine, flower, star

Magnetic Brooches for Necklines, Scarves

Marie Restitude also offers magnetic brooches for your necklines or scarves, which easily attach through the simple force of magnets.

Reproduction of Corsican Currency

During the time of Pascal Paoli in the village of Muratu, Corsican currency was minted in silver and bronze coins (i soldi) at the Mint Palace (A Zecca). Marie-Restitude offers a reproduction of this Corsican currency, notably the "u quatrinu" (billon).

Sainte-Restitude

A highly observed celebration in Corsica and Balagne, in the village of Calenzana, Sainte-Restitude was a martyr who is said to have performed a miracle by saving the village from the plague in the 4th century. Every year, a procession is held in her honor.

For Marie-Restitude, who bears this noble name, the symbol is even greater, as her first fair was that of Sainte-Restitude. Whether by chance or a sign of destiny, today Marie-Restitude proudly creates jewelry representing this Saint, forming an entire range of her offerings that are religious, identity-driven, and local, deeply tied to Calenzana where her workshop is located.

Personalized and Custom Jewelry

Upon your request, Marie-Restitude can create custom jewelry, representing the model of your choice with the desired personalization. This work is done on order after jointly defining what you would like to create.
