To complete your wedding look with elegant earrings, a beautiful necklace, a stylish bracelet or a pair of cufflinks, she is happy to provide you with personal advice.
A wedding brings together not only the couple, but also close or distant relatives. For the bride or groom, it is also a day when mom gets to be in the spotlight with them. Indeed, the mother of the bride/groom plays an important role at the side of daughter or son on the big day and also likes to spoil herself with a unique set of earrings, a bracelet, a necklace... to mark this event and afterwards cherish it forever. Marie-Bénédicte is therefore pleased to offer her personal design skills to immortalize this mother-daughter or mother-son bond.
Love for pearls & gemstones
The jewellery designs of Marie-Bénédicte are characterized by the frequent use of naturally coloured pearls, colourful natural gemstones, and natural diamonds in fancy colours.
Pearls are often mentioned in the same breath as gemstones but are two different materials.
Pearls are formed in fresh or saltwater mollusks, while gemstones are formed in the deep earth's crust.
From the very beginning, Marie-Bénédicte incorporated pearls into her jewelry creations because for her, with their velvety sheen, they have something sensual.
Pearls symbolize subtle elegance. She uses gemstones and pearls in unusual colour combinations in her work to create a contemporary look. She prefers greenish Tahitian pearls, pink Edison pearls, and champagne-coloured South Sea pearls. But in her gemstone collection, she has much more, such as rare ultra-black or blue Tahitian pearls.
Marie-Bénédicte developed a love for gemstones somewhat later in life.
Where previously, in her collections, she used gemstones as small accents, gemstones now take a prominent place in her work. Marie-Bénédicte's predilection is for pink tourmaline in all shades, but be sure to be tempted by her extensive collection of bicolour sapphires, ametrines, rutile quartzes, opalized wood, emerald, topazes, fire opal, multi-coloured tourmalines and so much more.
You are warmly invited to her private boutique! You can choose gemstones and pearls from her collection to be incorporated into your dream piece of jewellery.

Conflict-free diamonds
Also important: the diamonds and gemstones used are conflict-free. They comply with UN regulations and are certified under KPCS, Kimberly Process Certification Scheme, which combats conflict diamonds.
As of today, it is also possible to have preloved, antique and fair diamonds incorporated into your jewellery .

This cooperative focuses on agriculture and artisanal diamond mining in the Kasai to create jobs for the local population. The mined diamonds are exported via Kinshasa directly to Antwerp where they are cut.

'Toi et Moi' rings are made with two stones set side by side without ever touching and on the same ring. Historically, these stones were of equal size and shape, but contemporary designers play with this design.
