NAPOLÉON, Pendant earrings

Artisanal excellence in the heart of Rennes

Our Napoleon earrings are entirely handmade in Émaline, an exclusive enameled resin. All in our workshop in Rennes, Brittany. Each pair is made by skilled craftsmen, guaranteeing superior quality and meticulous attention to detail. The "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" (EPV) label recognizes our commitment to excellence and the preservation of traditional techniques.

A unique creative process

The manufacturing of Napoleon earrings follows a rigorous process, from design to finishing. Each red cherry is precisely carved, then attached to the green leaves for a harmonious rendering. Our artisans ensure that each pair is unique.

A craft coloring

We use artisanal dyes for our Napoleon earrings, ensuring rich and vibrant hues. The red cherries are hand-dyed, resulting in deep and natural shades. The green leaves add a touch of freshness and balance. The quality of the dyes ensures durability and shine that stands the test of time.

Earrings with clip-on attachments or for pierced ears

Napoleon earrings are available in two versions: dangling clip-on earrings for those who do not have pierced ears and a stud version for those who prefer traditional attachments. Dangling clip-on earrings offer a comfortable and secure alternative, allowing you to wear these earrings without compromising on style. This flexibility makes our Napoleon earrings an ideal choice for all preferences and needs.

Cherry and passion fruit inspired drop earrings

In Europe, the cherry is often associated with superstitions and popular beliefs. A well-known tradition is that ofCherry Game, where offering a cherry to the chosen one of your heart symbolizes a gesture of love or desire.

In the countryside, it was believed that the person who ate the cherry first would benefit from special luck in love or life, adding a playful and lucky dimension to this bright red fruit.

Beyond European traditions, the cherry has a rich symbolism in other cultures.

In China, it is seen as a lucky charm and a symbol of prosperity. The cherry's bright red color evokes passion, vitality and positive energy, while its round shape represents fullness and harmony.

In Japanese culture, sakura (cherry blossoms) are emblematic of the fleeting beauty of life and rebirth, symbolizing the fragility and transient beauty of human existence.
These flowers are celebrated each year during Hanami, a traditional festival dedicated to viewing cherry blossoms, reinforcing the link between the cherry and themes of renewal and contemplation.

In Greek mythology, the cherry was sacred to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, symbolizing passion and divine attraction. The ancient Romans also associated the cherry with fertility and abundance, making the fruit a symbol of prosperity and growth.

Through these multiple traditions and symbols, the cherry embodies emotions, deep-rooted superstitions and universal hopes.

The clip-on or drop earrings from the Ciléa workshop capture this rich and varied essence. Each pair of earrings is designed to reflect the passion and timeless beauty of the cherry, while evoking good luck, prosperity and vivacity.
