Léa Petitjean was born in the Jura, a mountainous and wild region with a precious wine and craft heritage. She moved to Provence at an early age and grew up in the brightly lit landscapes of the scrubby valleys and shepherd's paths that have seduced so many painters.
About twenty years later, she left the south and the humanities for Paris and a business school. Through her first professional experiences, she discovered the world of luxury and more precisely the Haute-Joaillerie, before launching her own house to associate poetic motifs with the know-how of the silk makers of Lyon.

"It doesn't look like a rose, not even like the little blushing, moved rosehip, except that it has five petals, like everyone else...
It's called a Christmas rose. A good snow, not too powdery, and winter nights with a westerly breeze, are just the thing for the hellebore."
The true journey of discovery is not about seeking new landscapes, but about having new eyes."
