After twelve years working as an editor for French Elle, Marie found herself drawn to the emotional connection she’d discovered in jewelry at a young age. As a teen, her mother gave her a chain that was traditionally passed down through generations and symbolized emancipation in Creole culture. This act struck a deep chord within the young Marie, resonating with her throughout her life and eventually leading her to think about what to pass down to her own daughter. The resulting collection is a nod to vintage design that is unmistakably fresh and contemporary.

Marie relies on the expertise of some of the world’s most renowned ateliers, the finest artisanal enameling and guilloché professionals, talented diamond and gem cutters and polishers, and seasoned master gem-setters in the creation of her designs. As her creativity continues to flourish and her collection evolves, she seeks out the most exceptional jewelers from across the globe in order to maintain her uncompromising commitment to beautifully crafted jewels. The authenticity inherent in her work is evident in the smallest details, such as the hand-woven prayer links blessed in the temples of Jaipur.

Marie’s barrel pendants serve as clasps for 18k gold chains hand made in Italy, Mauli silk cords from India, and hand-threaded beads from Ghana accented with precious stones. This versatility allows collectors of her work to subtly craft their own style statement, seamlessly transitioning from casual bohemian to classically refined, always evoking a sense of joy and love. Earrings, charms and bracelets with Marie’s signature gold finish round out her ever-expanding collection.
