Jewellery as Memory, Meaning and Modern Heirloom

Hello Beauties,

Marie Lichtenberg creates jewellery the way others build archives.

Her pieces are never decorative statements made for the moment. They are objects with memory — designed to age, to be worn daily, to become part of someone’s personal history. There is a quiet confidence in her work that feels deeply Parisian, yet entirely contemporary.

Based in Paris, Marie works from an intimate atelier rather than a spectacle-driven studio. It is here that her fascination with vintage objects, talismans and found symbolism translates into gold. She has often spoken about her love for antique jewellery — pieces that already lived a life before they reached their wearer. That philosophy runs through her entire universe.

Gold is never polished to excess. Surfaces feel almost brushed, softened, human. Diamonds appear sparingly, not as status symbols but as punctuation marks. Rubies, emeralds and enamel introduce colour with restraint — never loud, always intentional.

Take the iconic Eye Scap ring: architectural yet emotional. The eye motif is not ornamental; it functions as a protective symbol, a modern talisman meant to be worn with purpose. Its sculptural shape feels bold on the hand, yet surprisingly intimate once worn — a recurring quality in Marie’s designs.

Her Micro Coco necklaces are perhaps the purest expression of her aesthetic. Cylindrical lockets in gold, some accented with diamonds, emeralds or rubies, suspended on delicate chains. They sit close to the skin, almost like secrets. These are pieces you don’t stack for effect — you live with them.

The Baby Locket variations add another layer of sentiment. Smaller, softer in scale, designed to hold meaning rather than trend value. Jewellery that feels personal even to someone seeing it for the first time.

Then there are the more playful codes — the Dado dice pendant, the horseshoe charm, the NYC hoop earrings. They introduce lightness without ever becoming novelty. Each symbol feels chosen, not styled. Marie understands that symbolism works best when it is understated.

What stands out most is how wearable everything feels. These are not jewels for display cases. They are designed to move, to travel, to accompany real lives. Whether worn with a white shirt, a vintage knit or an evening silhouette, the pieces never dominate — they integrate.

On Farfetch UAE, a curated selection of Marie Lichtenberg’s designs reflects this philosophy perfectly. The edit feels thoughtful rather than exhaustive, highlighting her strongest pieces — jewellery that carries emotional weight as well as visual clarity.

Personal note

Marie, your work feels timeless not because it looks vintage, but because it respects time itself. Each piece feels like it already knows where it belongs — on someone who values meaning over noise.
