Featured Products
BRACELETS
Worn alone or with others, the bracelet accompanies your every move and gives your wrist the look of your dreams.
EARRINGS
Today, the trend is towards authenticity, we are looking for more simplicity, comfort and truth, we are learning to be more and more natural. But we still want to be feminine and have fun with fashion. So to give colour and fantasy to our faces, we rely on earrings!
NECKLACES
A necklace is always a singular piece of jewellery, on its own it gives style to any outfit.
RINGS
One ring to rule them all!
PIN'S
Back in the Nineties, pins were the accessory that punctuated the outfit of the cool kids, freshly hung on a jean jacket or a backpack, to display most of the time a mischievous, anecdotal or engaged message. To accumulate or to wear individually, we adopt it to assert ourselves and personalize our outfits.
KIDS
This collection was created with the help of Louise and Severine. This lovely mother/daughter duo imagined a fun collection of hand-woven jewellery, adapted to the rhythm of life of the youngest and especially to their tastes.
KITS
Have fun making your own jewellery, DIY lovers, the kits are made for you!
WORKSHOPS
Why not learn how to make your own jewellery? Then you can make your earrings exactly the way you want them, your bracelets in your colours, your necklaces to your length...
I'm here to help you make your most personal jewellery.
The workshops are open to beginners (aged 12 and over) and the more experienced. Materials and supplies are provided. On site, you'll find a catalogue of different creations at different levels, but you can also bring your own projects, and we'll discuss their feasibility together.
By learning certain techniques, you will discover a meditative activity that will develop your creative sense.
Here are the dates of the next Tuesday workshops in the morning from 09:30 to 11:30 or in the evening from 18:00 to 20:00

It is also possible to add extra dates on Tuesday mornings or evenings, provided there are at least 2 participants. Don't hesitate to send me your suggestions atiredel@gmail.com
Some projects can be long and repetitive. You can start a project at the workshop and finish it at home, but you'll have to buy the supplies and materials you need to complete it.
The workshop will take place with a minimum of 2 participants and a maximum of 6. If you have to cancel your participation, I will ask you to let me know 48 hours in advance otherwise it will be automatically deducted. The subscription is valid for 1 year.
Classes are in French and English ...for Dutch I'm working on it 😉
AND CONCEPT STORE
Ideally located in a nice shopping street in The Hague, So Bird and CO is home to the And Concept Store. The And Concept Store is a store that promotes artists and craftsmen from different fields.
Taking flight
"A tire d'E.L" is a play on words around the French expression "à tire d'ailes" which means, for a bird, to quickly take flight. Here, the wings have been replaced by the letters E.L, a nod to Electron Libre which was my first fashion jewellery brand and which enables me to create this second one today!
A tire d'E.L is a fashion jewellery brand resolutely creative. Each piece is handmade in my workshop, here, in The Hague, Netherlands. The creation of a jewel is a moment of intense emotion: the choice of the materials, the colours, the rhythms, the testing, the shaping.... all these steps to finally get to this wonderful moment when the jewel finally tells its story and takes flight.
-For better quality, durability and to limit the allergic risks, I work mainly with DQ metal (gold or silver coated) and stainless steel. For the beads, I use mostly Japanese glass beads from Miyuki
-The models are original creations and handmade.
-Production to order for responsible consumption, which can extend the processing of the order by a few days.
-Delivery in Europe is offered to 50€.
Who am I ?
Bénédicte Cador
designer
I am a French living in the Netherlands since 2019. It’s here, by the sea fresh air that my vocation really grew on me. Embrace my imagination through my collections of fashion jewellery, dream as much as I dream on a colour, a stone, a shape. I already created my first fashion jewellery brand "l'Electron Libre" 17 years ago. Self-taught, I also trained in traditional jewellery techniques. Today," A Tire d'E.L" is not only a collection of jewellery in very small series but also Workshops, where I share with you techniques that will also enable you to discover the delights of creation.
