Plants

A bay leaf that has been used as a crown since ancient times, a ginkgo that has survived every mass extinction, a reed that bends but never breaks. These jewellery are inspired by nature, handcrafted in Nice, and gilded with fine gold.

The plant motif, a defining element of Art Nouveau

The laurel has crowned victors since ancient times—the word “laureate” comes from this. The ginkgo is one of the oldest trees in the world; its species has survived every mass extinction since the age of the dinosaurs, hence its reputation for longevity. The oak takes decades to grow and centuries to mature, a symbol of quiet strength. The reed, for its part, bends in the wind without ever breaking—a moral that has entered common parlance since La Fontaine.

It was this botanical repertoire—featuring stylized leaves, stems, and flowers—that inspired Art Nouveau long before it inspired our collections.

Brass plated with 24k fine gold, nickel- and lead-free, hand-assembled in our workshop in Nice.
