One of a Kind by Kay™
Handmade With Purpose. Chosen With Meaning.
Crystal jewelry, meaningful charms and one-of-a-kind reminders created to help you carry courage, faith and grace wherever life takes you.
Every piece in the One of a Kind by Kay™ collection is thoughtfully handmade and paired with a message for the season you are walking through.
No two stones are exactly alike. No two handmade designs will ever be completely identical. And neither will the story of the person who wears them.
You were never created to blend in. You were made with purpose—and you have always been one of a kind.

The Heart Behind the Collection
One of a Kind by Kay™ is lovingly dedicated to my Mawmaw Mel—the true diamond in my life.
Her love helped teach me that value is not always found in what shines the brightest. It is found in the people who shape us, the memories we carry and the strength passed down through generations.
This collection was created from that kind of love.
It is for the woman rebuilding after heartbreak. The caregiver who keeps showing up. The dreamer beginning again. The survivor learning how to soften without surrendering her strength. And the person who simply needs a beautiful reminder that they are seen, loved and made for more.
Strong roots. Soft heart. Still here. Still healing.
— Kayla Folse, Creator of C’est La Vie NOLA™
Copper, Crystals and Intention
Copper is loved for its warm color, natural character and ability to be shaped into detailed wire designs. Over time, it may deepen in color or develop a patina, allowing each piece to grow more personal with wear.
Crystals have been connected with symbolic meanings across many cultures and traditions. At C’est La Vie NOLA™, those meanings are offered as inspiration. The jewelry does not create the change for you—it becomes a reminder of the faith, intention and action you bring to your own life.
Wear your piece during prayer, journaling, meditation or an everyday Peace Pause™. Let it remind you to breathe, come back to the present and choose your next step with grace.

A Simple Peace Pause™
When life feels loud, hold your jewelry gently and pause:
Inhale for four counts.
Hold for four counts, if comfortable.
Exhale slowly for four counts.
Repeat your message, prayer or affirmation.
Take one small, intentional next step.
Your piece is the reminder. The strength is already within you.
Jewelry Care
Your piece was made with care. Treating it gently will help preserve its beauty.
Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, sleeping or exercising.
Keep it away from perfume, lotion, oils, cleaners and harsh chemicals.
Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.
Store it separately in a dry pouch or closed container.
Handle wire-wrapped pieces carefully to maintain their shape.
Follow any stone-specific care included with your order.
Copper may naturally darken or temporarily leave a green mark on some skin because it reacts with moisture, oils and products. This is a normal surface reaction. Discontinue wear if you experience itching, burning, swelling or persistent irritation.
