MY FIRST PEARL NECKLACE

I had just founded Melanie Stones.

It was the beginning of 2015 and, at that time, my creations were mostly limited to gemstone bracelets that I made… in my kitchen.

One day, my friend Émilie had just given birth to her son. She told me: "𝘔𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘮 𝘷𝘦𝘶𝘵 𝘮'𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘳 𝘶𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘴. 𝘌𝘴𝘵-𝘤𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘶 𝘱𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴 𝘮'𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘶𝘯? »

I was deeply touched by her confidence and her desire to encourage me. It was at that moment that I went to meet a gemologist — with whom I still work today.

I created a beautiful Akoya pearl necklace for Emilie, along with matching earrings.

This necklace was a turning point.

Later, I started creating all kinds of pearl jewelry. I fell in love with freshwater pearls, their imperfect shapes and their infinite hues.

I then set myself the task of making pearl jewelry more modern, more current, and creating pieces that people would want to wear every day, whether with a chic or casual outfit.

Today, my clients tell me they wear their Melanie Stones jewelry every day, with pride.

I think I've achieved my goal 🤍

With pleasure,
— Melanie, founder of Melanie Stones
