French Form founder, Hannah French, is a Brooklyn based jewelry designer and co-founder of Seelye Designs, specializing in concept development, CAD modeling, and prototype creation.

Her background combines traditional bench training from Studio Jewelers NYC with advanced digital design education through GIA's Comprehensive CAD/CAM for Jewelry program. Working between hand carved wax and digital modeling, French Form develops jewelry that is both sculptural and production minded.

We collaborate with brands, designers, and private clients to translate ideas into wearable objects, guiding projects from initial concept through prototyping and manufacturing preparation.

French Form was founded with a simple belief that the jewelry industry is stronger when knowledge is shared. As a designer, there were many moments when sending sketches, waxes, and ideas into the world felt like dropping them into a black hole, with little guidance or transparency along the way. This studio was created to be the kind of creative partner I wished I had. A place where designers can ask questions, explore ideas, and feel supported throughout the process with honesty, collaboration, and respect.
