French Flowers Collection | Art Nouveau Sterling Silver Studs

Paris, 1890. The height of Art Nouveau. A workshop where steel dies were hand-carved for the finest jewelry houses in France.

These are impressions made from the authentic carvings, originals cut by artisans in Villemin’s Paris workshop over 130 years ago, rescued by preservationists, and used to make a new working copy. Each flower carries the marks of their hands: the depth of the carving, the slight irregularities that only hand-cut steel can achieve.

The French Flowers Collection features five symbolic blooms pressed into reclaimed sterling silver:

  • Bellflower - Gratitude and unwavering affection
  • Thistle - Resilience and protection
  • Daisy - New beginnings and loyal love
  • Chrysanthemum - Longevity and transformation
  • Iris - Wisdom and eloquence

Each pair of studs is hand-pressed, finished with a patina that honors the age of the dies, and designed for the woman who understands that symbols matter. That history matters. That what we wear can be both beautiful and true.
