MAIN DE FATIMA #23020

Hamsa, which literally means "five" in Arabic, is a palm-shaped amulet, popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa. It is known as the "hand of Fatima" in reference to the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad in Muslim traditions or "Miriam's hand" in Jewish tradition,
in tribute to Aaron and Moses' sister. La Main-de-Fatima would protect wives, pregnant women and newborns, who are considered particularly vulnerable. Fatima brings healing, compassion for each and every one of all nations, and helps to find forgiveness and understanding.

Fatima's hand provides protection in various situations, by carrying this hand you can avoid negative waves and the evil eye. Fatima's hand can also be hung against a wall in your living space, you can also put it in your wallet to ensure a financial balance. Likewise, this hand will help you to understand and communicate more easily with your opponents because it influences events in order to bring reconciliation and forgiveness. Now a popular symbol all over the world, this amulet is found on many jewellery because it is also very aesthetic.

So I chose agates with cobalt blue shades and frosted white jade to make a very pretty and distinguished trio. May Fatima will protect you, dear friends!

  MER DU LABRADOR #23021

 The Labrador Sea is a part of the Atlantic Ocean between Labrador in Canada and Greenland. Its depth reaches 3400 m and its width 1000 km where it joins the North Atlantic. There are several icebergs, dragged south by the Labrador Current. It was one of these icebergs that the famous Titanic hit in 1912 with the consequences we know today. The Labrador Sea was also used by the Vikings during their explorations, more than 500 years before Christopher Columbus; they were the first Europeans to set foot on North American soil around the year 1000. Their journey took them from Greenland to Newfoundland, across the North Sea. It is in "L'Anse à Meadows" in Newfoundland that some remains of these Scandinavian sailors can be found.


Wild landscapes, mountains and majestic fjords, drifting icebergs and unique marine fauna, I was inspired by these austere and virgin settings for this trio of bracelets. The combination of anthracite-coloured Labradorite and the grey Picasso stone invokes the spectacular mountains that border the Labrador Sea.


In addition the turquoise aquamarine evokes the colour of the water near icebergs that are carried away by marine currents. Pure and wild, this sea and its landscape leaves no one indifferent!

ŒIL DE TIGRE #23022

 The tiger's eye is used as a protective stone against bad ambient energies or from negative or slanderous people. One could say that this stone will somehow form a protective shield that will return the energies to its transmitter instead of impregnating us with them. This stone stimulates the will, allows us to free ourselves from our limits, to overcome our fears in order to assert ourselves with greater inner serenity. It reduces stress by providing more self-confidence and balancing nervous energy. Friendly relationships are greatly improved by wearing the tiger's eye; the fact that it brings more confidence has an impact on social relationships. 

Its intense brown-yellow-chestnuts colour, illuminated by golden sparkles , gives it depth and reminds us of the optical effect of the eye of the animal that bears its name, the tiger. This majestic cat has magnificent eyes and it is undeniable that this mineral represents it remarkably well by its shimmering effect, these moving iridescents that seem to come to life when the observer moves in relation to the stone.

By combining the tiger's eye with the creamy colour of howlite, the beige/brown of jasper and the hand-painted wooden beads of India, I wanted to bring clarity to it gently to highlight the rich colour and depth of the tiger's eye. May the tiger protect you!

PACHAMAMA #23023

 Pachamama, means "Mother Earth" or "Goddess Earth" in Quechua (language spoken in some regions of Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, southern Colombia and northern Argentina and Chile). Pachamama is not only the planet (the terrestrial sphere) but it encompasses much more. It is nature that is in constant contact with the human being, with whom it interacts even through certain rituals. Pachamama protects people and allows them to live by everything it provides: water, food, etc. Men must therefore take care of Pachamama and pay tribute to her.
The Pachamama is a goddess without a temple, she honours herself in all places, preferably on the top of a mountain or in nature; she IS her own temple. The figure of Pachamama is particularly strong among the Quechua peoples (descendants of the Inca civilization) and the Aymaras (native to the Lake Titicaca region,
at the crossroads of Bolivia, Peru, Argentina and Chile).


One of the most common ways to honour Pachamama is a ritual called the challa (or ch'alla). This ritual is usually performed in August, which marks the end of winter (we are in the southern hemisphere where the seasons are reversed from the north) and the beginning of the agricultural year.
The purpose of this ritual is to thank the Earth (Pachamama) for the offerings it has given us over the past year. It is also being solicited to ensure that the coming year will be a successful one.

In tribute to Pachamama, our Mother Earth, I created this trio of bracelets with harmonious colours that recall nature; green, coral and burnt orange and a touch of ivory to soften everything. Feel the power and gentleness of Pachamama, the two extremes that nature offers us; thank you Mother Earth for feeding and protecting us!

PHÉNIX #23024

 "The man who gets up is even stronger than the one who didn't fall" - Viktor Frankl, neuro-psychiatrist For the creation of this trio bracelet, I was inspired by the legend of the Phoenix, the fabulous bird that symbolizes fire, regeneration and purification.
It is said that the Phoenix burned its own nest made of spices and aromatic herbs and was reborn 3 days later. From there, comes the expression "Rising from the ashes". To represent the powerful energy of the Phoenix, I chose the dark orange of the Carnelian, the coral Aventurine and the agate of the same color to represent the fire element, symbolizing precisely the Phoenix.

The grey colour of Picasso stone represents in my opinion the ash following the fire and the white Howlite, the purity of renewal. Despite sometimes very difficult challenges of life, be inspired by the Phoenix and be assured that you have within you the necessary strength to get up and continue your journey! WHAT IS LOGOTHERAPY ? The above quote, from Viktor Frankl, expresses precisely what happens to people who have experienced particularly difficult situations and who have managed to get back on track and rebound. Viktor Frankl, a neuro-psychiatrist and founder of logotherapy, himself survived the torture of concentration camps during the Second World War.

He has developed a psychotherapeutic approach that puts the meaning of human existence at the forefront. Through logotherapy, people improve their ability to face life's challenges, increase their resilience and increase awareness of the active role they play in their health and well-being. According to Frankl, it is the meaning we give to our lives that motivates and guides our actions.
Logotherapy is a method to overcome human conflicts that generate suffering. It allows us to find meaning in difficult and painful situations. In this way, they become growth opportunities for the people who live them. This method, centred on value experiences, allows us to find meaning in all life's events, thus giving us the opportunity to live a full life.
