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 beginning, Marie-Bénédicte incorporated pearls into her jewellery creations because she found their velvety luster 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.
While she previously used gemstones as small accents in her collections, gemstones now have a prominent place in her work. Marie-Bénédicte prefers pink tourmaline in all shades. However, you will undoubtedly get tempted by her extensive collection of bicolour sapphires, ametrines, rutilated quartz, opalized wood, and 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.
Recycled gold
The jewellery in Marie-Bénédicte's collections is almost exclusively made from recycled gold.
Give your old gold or your old jewellery - that you no longer wear - a second life.
Your old gold is always first tested and examined in her boutique in front of you.
This old gold can be remelted into a new contemporary jewel in her recognizable style. Or the old gold (old jewelry and jewellery) you bring in will be purified and then reprocessed into 18 ct in her workshop.
Conflict-free diamonds
Also important: the diamonds and gemstones used are conflict-free. They comply with UN regulations and are certified by KPCS, Kimberly Process Certification Scheme, which combats conflict diamonds.
From now on, it is also possible to have preloved, antique and fair diamonds incorporated into your jewellery .
She gets her fair diamonds from a master cutter who works with the Congolese cooperative PAMBI. 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.
Pearls
Pearls are cultivated under good ecological conditions, as the mussels' survival and harvest success depend on clean and healthy natural environments.
