Etoile Stud Earrings

This delicate necklace in a classic stick chain design is lovely in many ways: as a stand-alone statement, layered with other chains, or festooned with an assortment of charms. The emerald-colored stone and leaf charm at the clasp add a thoughtful touch.

Joséphine’s gardens at Malmaison were famed for their extraordinary flora, including elegant Dutch tulips newly rooted in French soil. Their golden petals opened like painterly strokes, while morning dew clung to them like scattered pearls.

Napoleon wished for a lion to lie at the heart of his crest, but the emperor crossed it off his decree to be replaced with the eagle history knows. These regal earrings feature the crest of a lion, representing a charge in heraldry, courage, and nobility.

A golden heart held fast by a lover's grasp, this locket was inspired by Napoleon’s love for Joséphine de Beauharnais, to whom he mailed passionate letters from his campaigns. After their separation, he kept his undying love for her close to his heart.

This elegant charm is a musing on the Bonaparte dynasty’s coat of arms, signifying strength and grace on the long path to destiny. Cast from a vintage, metal piece found in the brocantes of France.
