Jewelry, when it transcends adornment, becomes something far more enduring—it becomes art. Across time and culture, charms have served as vessels of memory and myth, anchoring the ancient within the now. In this spring chapter, each creation carries a gentle conversation between legacy and elegance, heritage and handcraft. With Tuileries at its heart, this collection invites you to wrap the world around your wrist, your neck, your being.

Unlike fashion that chases trend, wearable art leaves an imprint. It is a timeless dialogue written upon the skin—a curated convergence of the historic and the personal. Each piece in this collection is a living relic, a keeper of charm, a portal to forgotten gardens and gilded halls. These are jewels not made for the moment but for the myth.

To curate wearable art is to shape more than form, it is to shape feeling. It’s not just about honoring nature or aesthetics, but about creating relics that feel instinctively yours. Pieces you reach for not because they match, but because they matter.

These are treasures to be loved, lived with, and passed on. They carry the pulse of the time in which they’re made and the soul of the person who wears them. Pieces that evolve with the wearer, telling stories that deepen and expand over time becoming more beautiful as they gather voice and meaning as they are worn and weathered.

Wearable art pushes against the expected. It speaks with intention. It is both mirror and messenger, declaring something wordless about the person who chooses it. Worn with care, it charms the eye, stirs conversation, and reshapes the silhouette of tradition.

Most of all, wearable art reveals the self,its edges and nuances, its beauty and boldness, its imperfections that, over time, become sacred.

A symbol of tireless devotion, the bee has long embodied the virtues of diligence and discipline. According to ancient legend, it never sleeps—always in motion, always vigilant. Such qualities found their most iconic champion in Napoleon Bonaparte, who adopted the bee as his imperial emblem.

But the bee’s mythology predates empire. In the Christian tradition, it symbolized divine eloquence, honeyed grace, and holy order—its presence seen in the heraldry of saints and papal dynasties alike.

Napoleon’s fascination led to bees appearing everywhere—from coronation robes to gilded snuff boxes and silk-draped walls. This beloved charm pays homage to his legacy and the grandeur of the Jardin des Tuileries, where he commissioned the Rivoli Road, leaving his mark on the heart of Paris.

In the delicate arc of its wings, the Saint-Esprit dove descends, a symbol of the Holy Spirit, cherished throughout French history and woven into the fabric of antique jewelry. Often depicted in mid-flight, suspended upside down with grace and intention, this sacred bird carried meaning far beyond ornamentation.

It was a quiet emblem of protection, guidance, and the divine made visible. These earrings echo that origin, offering not just beauty, but capturing the spirit in motion, as though it had just taken flight from heaven’s breath.

Nature is endlessly regenerative, eternally inspired. She is both artist and artifact, ever in bloom. Her story is one of metamorphosis: quiet, steady, sublime. She teaches us to grow through all seasons, whether sun-drenched or storm-worn.

From the mossy frescoes of Botticelli’s Primavera, where flora unfurls in ecstatic celebration, to the jewel-toned insects and birds in Maria Sibylla Merian’s scientific illustrations, artists have long turned to nature not just for beauty, but for truth. In the buzzing wings of a bee, the soft curve of a leaf, or the gaze of a wild creature, they found symbols of life in motion.

In the lush borders of medieval tapestries, ivy climbs eternally. In the chiaroscuro of Georges de La Tour’s candlelit scenes, the presence of nature is not loud but reverent, almost holy.

As Ruskin once wrote, “Nature is always mysterious and secret in her use of means; and art is always likest her when it is most inexplicable.”

We follow her quiet cue. In every charm, every green-glass cameo, golden birdsong, and gilded bee, we listen for her teachings and answer with craft.

In the serene stillness of Monet's Gardens at Giverny, dragonflies hover delicately over the water, their wings catching the sun's soft rays as they glide in fleeting harmony. Like the soft rustle of nature’s constant evolution, these creatures embody the quiet power of transformation.

Inspired by the gentle flutter of wings among the lush gardens, this charm captures the essence of that ephemeral moment. The dragonfly, a symbol of resilience and quiet strength, reminds us of the beauty found in embracing change—of moving through life with elegance and purpose, much like the gardens Monet so lovingly immortalized in his strokes.

Wandering through flea markets is like walking through time. Each object a portal, each stall a story. Much like a garden path strewn with forgotten blooms, these antique hunts reveal relics both humble and holy.

In Paris, Japan, Savannah—wherever I walk—I find fragments of beauty hanging like fruit from unseen branches. A brooch here. A fraying silk ribbon there. Each treasure found is an echo from another world, waiting to be heard again.
