A Queen’s Legacy in Jewels: The Enduring Allure of Marie Antoinette
At the glittering heart of 18th-century Versailles shimmered a woman whose passion for beauty still captivates the world. Marie Antoinette—France’s most iconic and misunderstood queen who was a visionary of elegance and used jewellery as a language of identity, power, and fantasy.
The Victoria & Albert Museum launches their exhibition in honour of her style this September through to March ‘26 where you will be able to see her original pieces, plus modern interpretations of her style by devotees such as Manolo Blahnik (the sponsor of the show), Vivienne Westwood (our Queen of rebellious Punk style), Moschino and Film Director Sofia Coppola.
Her wardrobe and her jewellery often reflected a palette of pastel dreams—shades we now associate with the delicate decadence of Ladurée macarons: powdered lavender, rose-tinted raspberry, misty duck-egg blue, sugared pistachio, mellow primrose, creamy milk chocolate, and soft coffee beige. These colours didn’t just sweeten the salons of Versailles; they became symbols of Marie Antoinette’s whimsical, cultivated world.
For those who dream in pastels and pearls, we capture this spirit through colour, shape, and story. Think earrings, chokers and bracelets with baroque-inspired drops in pearl and pastel-hued gemstones reminiscent of her silk gowns and the sweet delicacies she so famously adored.
Each piece is handcrafted - wearable whispers of Versailles. Feminine, romantic, and forever timeless.
Marie adored the soft gleam of drop pearls, the intricate detailing of diamond-studded bows. Every gem she wore was a statement—of romance, of rebellion, of refined taste.
That same spirit lives on in our jewellery. Inspired by Marie Antoinette’s unmistakable eye for detail, our pieces echo the textures and tones of Versailles—lustrous pearls, antique gold finishes, and the flourish of chandelier shapes.
Whether you’re drawn to the romance of the past or the elegance of the present, our collection brings 18th-century splendour into the everyday. More than just ornaments, these jewels are heirlooms of imagination.
Long live the Queen—in pearls, in ribbons, in every sparkle.
