The Story

Born from the sun. Made to be lived in.

Solenne began with a desire to create something of my own.

Something slower, more personal and more enduring - shaped by the places, materials and small details I have always been drawn to.

I grew up between cultures and landscapes, but the Mediterranean has become an enduring source of inspiration for me. The warmth of sun on skin. Salt left behind after the sea. Weathered stone. The faded colours of summer. Objects that become more beautiful through time and wear.

Jewellery has always felt connected to these things.

I am fascinated by natural materials and the individuality held within them: the shifting blue of larimar, the depth of tiger’s eye, the softness of pearls, the markings running through a piece of jasper. No two stones are entirely alike, and I have never wanted them to be.

Solenne celebrates that imperfection.

The collections bring together natural gemstones, pearls and precious metals in pieces designed to feel tactile, understated and deeply personal. Jewellery to collect gradually, layer instinctively and wear until it becomes part of you.

Every Solenne piece is made by me, by hand. This is an important part of what Solenne means to me. I choose the materials, consider the balance of each stone and pearl, and make each piece individually. There is something deeply personal about knowing that every piece has passed through my hands before it reaches yours.

My approach to design is guided as much by feeling as by form. I am drawn to simplicity, but never sterility; refinement with something organic left intact. A hand-drawn line rather than a perfect one. A surface softened by time. Gold against an irregular stone.

At the heart of Solenne is the circle - a quiet symbol of the sun, continuity and return. It reflects an idea that has become increasingly important to me: that what we choose to surround ourselves with can carry meaning, memory and a sense of place.

Solenne was also born during a period of change in my own life.

I felt an increasing pull towards creating something that belonged entirely to me. Not something built from urgency or expectation, but from curiosity, independence and the space to follow an idea wherever it led.

That idea became Solenne.

I want the pieces to carry some of the world that inspired them - warm, elemental, a little imperfect and made for a life lived close to the sun.
