Édéenne
At the request of Maison Mellerio dits Meller, and to celebrate their 400th anniversary, Maison Édéenne created a collection of 24 pieces, acclaimed by the press around the world. The collection was conceived as a tribute to Marie de Médicis, while seeking to honour femininity. These works are true body ornaments, between jewel and garment. They play with the boundaries between High Jewellery and Haute Couture.

The Marie de Médicis Collerette
A first in jewellery: a precious lace collerette highlights the fragility of the nape, like the hand of a loving being gently caressing it. On an openwork white gold interlacing, stylised lilies pavé-set with diamonds bloom, enhanced by fifteen antique Burmese rubies and punctuated with three South Sea pearls.
More than 4,500 hours of work were dedicated to creating this exceptional articulated gold embroidery.
The Fleur-de-Lys Brooch
The fleur-de-lys brooch incorporates an invisible mechanism to fasten it to a bodice. The flower extends into a luxuriant cascade of natural pearls of unusual length. The brooch ends with stylised lily buds and a rare drop-shaped emerald. The brooch moves gracefully with the movements of the woman who wears it.
