Our inspiration for creating jewelry is deeply rooted in the botanical world. On one hand, my childhood spent in the countryside, amidst lush fields, nurtured my intimate connection with nature. On the other hand, it is the fascination and admiration for the multitude of meanings that humans have attributed to plants over the ages that drive us to explore this theme.
Plants are much more than mere living organisms; they are symbols of life, growth, renewal, and carry within them a wealth of meaning and traditions that transcend cultural and temporal boundaries.
Each plant, with its unique forms, vibrant colors, and enchanting fragrances, tells a story, evokes emotions, and embodies values.
Therefore, we strive to capture this essence in our creations, transforming the natural beauty of plants into pieces of jewelry that celebrate the magic and poetry of nature.

Fields of flowers

Plants, particularly flowers, have always evoked a profound range of emotions in humans, both through their delicate forms and their intoxicating scents and vibrant colors. These elements have been beautifully captured in art throughout the ages, whether in poems, paintings, or sculptures.

We ourselves have been swept away by this artistic portrayal of flowers, incorporating these inspirations into some of our ring designs. For example, "The lys of Mucha" or "Iris," two creations that pay homage to the renowned Art Nouveau artist, Alfons Mucha, have been crafted with deep admiration for his ability to translate the organic beauty of plants into an elegant and timeless aesthetic. These rings thus reflect the harmonious fusion between nature and art, inviting those who wear them to embrace the grace and splendor of plants at every moment of their lives.

The meanings of flowers have undergone a fascinating evolution throughout the ages, reflecting cultural diversity and the complexity of human interactions with nature. These meanings are not limited to a universal interpretation but vary across cultures, eras, and even individuals. What may be perceived as a symbol of beauty and love in one society can hold a completely different significance in another. It is this diversity of perspectives that makes the study of floral languages so captivating, revealing the subtle nuances of human communication across the world. From the offering of red roses as an expression of passionate love in certain Western cultures to the complex symbolism of cherry blossoms in Japan, each society has woven its own tapestry of floral meanings, thereby enriching the multicultural fabric of our planet.

Bouquet of the language of flowers

The exchange of flowers dates back to ancient times, imbuing each gesture with profound symbolic richness. While the earliest traces of the codification of the language of flowers can be traced back to ancient Persia, its influence has extended far beyond the borders of that region, spanning across epochs and civilizations. In the narratives of ancient Greece and ancient Egypt, flowers were already imbued with multiple meanings, embodying love, beauty, and even magical powers.
A famous example of this usage dates back to the time of Cleopatra, whose ingenuity and passion left a mark on history. She is said to have used roses in the baths of her lover, Mark Antony, to subtly and elegantly express her ardent love.

However, it is perhaps Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, a writer and the wife of the English ambassador to Constantinople, who is credited with popularizing this exquisite practice in Europe around 1718. She is said to have discovered this subtle form of communication in the intimate confines of the sultan’s harem, where flowers were used to convey feelings of love, express grievances, and even share the most intimate secrets.

This floral tradition then spread throughout Europe, finding fertile ground to flourish, especially as a means of romantic communication, with a notable prevalence in England, where it reached its peak during the Victorian era. Under the reign of Queen Victoria, a period marked by relatively strict moral standards, the use of flowers as a coded language allowed for a subtle and delicate form of seduction, providing a means of clandestine communication in a society where open displays of affection were often discouraged.

Thus emerged the very first dictionary devoted to the language of flowers, a precious compendium allowing the decoding of hidden sentiments behind each petal and leaf. During the subsequent Romantic era, this floral language was documented and enriched through numerous literary works, becoming an indispensable component of poetry and romance of the time. Enthusiasts could now compose elaborate messages by assembling bouquets according to precise rules, where each flower, each color, and even each position in the bouquet could convey subtle and complex emotions, evoking a whole range of feelings, from passionate declarations to heart-wrenching farewells, with unparalleled depth and finesse.

We sought to capture the very essence of this romantic communication and natural discretion through the skillful use of the language of flowers in our jewelry creations.
Allow us now to guide you through our collection, where each flower is carefully chosen for its symbolic meaning and enchanting aesthetic.

The belladonna

Belladona Earrings

The deadly nightshade, this perennial herbaceous plant with its robust rhizome, rises majestically up to two meters in height, its reddish stems emerging with mysterious elegance and its leaves bearing delicate small hairs. Its flowers, resembling small hanging bells, captivate with their brownish, purplish, or yellowish hue, while its berries, like dark jewels, reveal an intense black-purple color. Yet, behind this enchanting beauty lies a deadly danger, as the deadly nightshade is infused with poison.

However, despite its sinister reputation, the deadly nightshade is also imbued with profound symbolic meanings. In some cultures, it is associated with health, longevity, love, and attraction, evoking notions of beauty and mystery. For others, it embodies the duality of life and death, symbolizing both transformation and spiritual and physical rebirth.

In the language of flowers, the deadly nightshade conveys a complex message. On one hand, it whispers timidly, "I find you beautiful," revealing a sense of subtle seduction, while maintaining a certain distance due to rumors of its danger. On the other hand, it can simply signify "silence," evoking an atmosphere of mystery and restraint, where buried secrets await discovery.

In the language of flowers, wisteria reveals subtle and profound messages. With its intertwining vines, it often symbolizes the desire for conquest, expressing budding love or fiery passion, where each tendril evokes the desire to entwine in a passionate embrace. But beyond its seductive power, wisteria can also embody strength and reciprocity in friendships, representing a solid alliance and mutual support that withstands time and trials.

Thus, whether as a messenger of passionate love or as a symbol of faithful friendship, wisteria enchants and inspires, bearing witness to the beauty and richness of the bonds that unite humans in a spirit of tenderness and complicity.

The pomegranate, this majestic fruit-bearing tree, traces its origins back to the annals of ancient history, cherished for its exquisite fruit, the pomegranate, and its lush ornamental flowers, flamboyant in red.

The very name "Granada," which refers to both the city in Spain and the fruit, finds its etymology in the Latin word "Granatus," evoking the richness of its countless seeds ("rich in grains").

The fruits, berries of golden yellow or vibrant orangish-red, conceal within them a multitude of seeds, each containing the potential for new life. The pomegranate fruit embodies equally rich and varied symbols. Representing prosperity and fertility, it is also the messenger of passionate love and consuming desire, its fiery seeds offering a promise of renewal and growth.

Beyond their culinary appeal, the flowers of the pomegranate tree bear profound meanings. Symbols of charity, harmony, but also pride and ambition, they evoke the duality of human nature, blending generosity and pride, harmony, and the desire for success.

Thus, the pomegranate tree, with its majestic presence and numerous symbols, evokes a profound connection between humans and nature, offering through its fruits and flowers a true lesson in life and abundance.

 

Peony

The peony, this majestic plant with medicinal virtues, appears in two distinct forms: as a perennial herbaceous plant, such as the Chinese peony, or as an imposing shrub. Yet, despite its radiant beauty, it can take two to five years to reveal its first bloom, patiently waiting like a diva before unveiling its dazzling brilliance.

Beyond its mere appearance, the peony is surrounded by ancient legends that root its origin in the very fabric of Greek mythology. According to one of these legends, Paeon, a bold student of the famous physician of the gods, Asclepius, dared to heal the deities despite his master’s teachings. Fearing Asclepius’ wrath, he was transformed into a dazzling flower, the peony, and this tale explains the healing power associated with this plant since time immemorial. Another Greek legend recounts that Paeonia, a nymph enamored with Apollo, was transformed into a peony by Aphrodite’s jealousy, thus giving rise to another facet of the mythology surrounding this flower.

In the language of flowers, the peony unveils its most intimate secrets, with a general sense of feminine grace. In yellow, it embodies joy; in red, passionate love; in white, it leans towards forgiveness, while in pink, it evokes shyness, tenderness, and femininity.

In China, the ancestral cradle of the peony, this magnificent flower holds an even richer and more complex symbolism. It represents the quintessence of feminine beauty, prosperity, luck, but also shame and jealousy, thus reflecting the subtle nuances of the human condition and the emotions that traverse it.
