Marine Animals
Un hippocampe qui s'accroche pour ne jamais être emporté, une pieuvre insaisissable, un corail qu'on offrait autrefois en protection. Des bijoux nés à cent mètres de la mer, à Nice et dorés à l'or fin.
A cuff shaped like a marine mussel, with an elongated, conical shell, striated with fine ridges radiating from the hinge—the same texture found on shells clinging to rocks between tides.

Placed on the top of the wrist, the piece covers a good portion of the forearm without ever feeling bulky—the two thin strands that hold it in place leave the rest of the arm free. It’s a cuff designed to be worn on its own, against bare skin, to let the pattern’s texture take center stage.

The octopus has long fascinated people: three hearts, an intelligence that baffles biologists, and an ability to slip into any space. Art Nouveau made it a symbol of free movement and of that which eludes us.
The pattern echoes its sinuous lines: the arms wrap around one another in a fluid design, with the suction cups clearly visible up close. An organic silhouette from a distance, a work of precision when viewed up close.

No: The design is inspired by coral, but it is made entirely of brass. For information on care, shipping, and returns, please see our FAQ.
Since ancient times, coral has been regarded as a talisman of protection and vitality—it was hung from cradles throughout the Mediterranean. Its tree-like form, neither quite plant nor quite mineral, fascinated goldsmiths long before the Art Nouveau period.
The pattern captures its irregularity: the branches never repeat themselves exactly, and the contours catch the light differently depending on the angle.

The Mediterranean, Right at Your Fingertips
Our studio is based in Nice, and that comes through in our designs. The seahorse anchors itself by its tail to seaweed to withstand the current—a symbol of those who stand firm. The octopus, with its three hearts and an intelligence that still baffles biologists, embodies freedom and mystery. Coral, long mistaken for a marine plant, is actually an animal—a colony of thousands of tiny organisms that work together to build this plant-like limestone skeleton. It was once hung above cribs throughout the Mediterranean as a protective talisman.
Each design is struck using an antique die, hand-engraved in steel, according to a French process that has remained unchanged for nearly two centuries.
