Its story began at the Salon du Patrimoine in Paris, with an unexpected encounter with the world of Jean-Marie Mentz, who is a metal engraver. An immediate fascination for one of his necklaces, and with it, a certainty: I wanted to bring it to life through my work.
I went to talk to Jean-Marie, far too excited to express myself clearly! When he understood, he immediately agreed, delighted by a collaboration he would never have imagined. I left with the necklace, my heart full of ideas.
Since then, I have carried this piece within me. Every line, every gold thread, every shade of green placed with intention, the way you choose words for a story you want to tell right.
The gold threads trace the veins, like blood flowing through. The dominant green embodies nature and the hope it carries within. And between the leaves, hearts appear, a quiet echo of life and freedom.
Nasturtiums is an ode to life, in all its preciousness and fragility.
