We're so excited about Fanny, from the @the_greenimalist account 💚💚💚

Fanny came to discover our jewelry a few months ago.

She has an extremely refined knowledge of jewelry, coupled with a keen awareness of environmental issues that she details on her account.

Fanny likes to combine beauty and goodness, and above all, to question the durability of things.

"A lawyer by training and profession, I am the author of the Instagram account @The_Greenimalist, dedicated to eco-responsible fashion. The dual objective of this account is to inform and raise awareness among those who wish to about the environmental and social impacts of fashion, and to propose beautiful, virtuous and sustainable alternatives.

I live in Paris with my very international little family: our two young children, Vladimir and Alma, are Russian-French-Japanese.

I am fortunate to have a Japanese mother, who also made jewelry, and an architect father who introduced me to ecology and especially to beauty and beautiful things at a very young age. So I grew up in a conscious and very aesthetic, quite avant-garde universe, without even knowing it at the time."

"Existing materials are the most ecological and responsible ones. Recycling them, the possibility of giving them a new life story in such a beautiful way, is a great feat in itself.

Very instinctively, I find your jewelry terribly beautiful. I discovered Heloise and Abelard on social media, and their beauty, without further explanation, caught my eye.

So much so that I dreamt of the Nathalie ring the next night, its sparkle blending with that of a drop of water in the bright sun. Its beauty struck me so much that it invited itself into my dream, into my imagination."

"I love the balanced placement of the stones in the absence of symmetry. It's so much harder to find a perfect balance between several elements without resorting to the ease of symmetry; it's a quest for perfection in deliberate imperfection. It's a very Japanese approach, so it naturally resonates with me.

Then, of course, the circularity, the local sourcing of materials, and the design and manufacturing of the jewelry captivated me.

I would like to reiterate that combining beauty and responsibility is not easy, and I am very happy to discover such a successful alliance of these criteria, which are so dear to me."

"I come from a family of women who adore jewelry and pass it down through generations. I am merely the custodian of these wonders, which I will later pass on to my daughter, and so on.

My Japanese grandmother wore magnificent and very finely crafted pieces (mainly Japanese pearls and diamonds).

My mother used to create unique jewelry pieces, notably for art galleries in France and Japan (very graphic, architectural, and refined pieces); she even taught me how to solder when I was little. She introduced me to the various technical constraints and steps of jewelry making: from idea to sketch, from sketch to finished piece. Behind each piece, I am aware of the work and time required.

Jewelry is a passion for us, from mother to daughter. I immensely love precious stones, which for me are fragments of nature's beauty crafted by human hands.

Since the birth of my children, jewelry has an echo of eternity, being passed down from mother to daughter, from generation to generation. It speaks to me much more than clothing."

" I love delicate and understated pieces that I can wear every day. My preference goes to sapphires, when their shade is both deep and luminous, and to diamonds because they alone contain all colors and are also very luminous.

I wear a wedding ring engraved with my husband's name and mine every day, in the thinnest yellow gold possible (I wanted a line of gold encircling my ring finger) and a very delicate ring set with a small sapphire.

Before, I only wore white gold, and since my marriage, to honor my husband's Russian origins and heritage, and because our wedding rings are in yellow gold, I now prefer this metal.

More occasionally, I wear my grandmother's magnificent jewelry (a solitaire diamond and pieces adorned with Japanese pearls)."

Fanny's Selection

"Nathalie, always and forever, because I even dreamt about this piece.

The arrangement of the diamonds and their power to reflect light evoke movement, dance for me. When I wear it and look at it, I feel this small, harmonious, and intensely luminous space composed of 4 diamonds that catch and reflect the surrounding light. When I look at it, it's a breath, an aesthetic pause in my hectic daily life. It invites me to contemplate beauty.

More generally, I find all of Heloise and Abelard's jewelry delicate, very balanced (sometimes in perfectly controlled imbalance). And then the diamonds have that sparkle that current jewelry doesn't have.

In fact, I think I love everything! It's very rare for me to have such a huge crush on a jeweler because I am aesthetically very demanding and am not always a big fan of current jewelry from major houses. I also look for uniqueness.

Your jewelry has this apparent simplicity that is actually very elaborate, very subtle, and they are luminous. In this regard, I really like the Apolline, Jeanne and Hannah earrings and the Jeanne necklace and ring.

Heloise and Abelard = the subtle balance between beauty and responsibility, strength and delicacy, history and future.

Thank you Fanny
