From princess to costume jewelry
The Princess and the Pea
Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, there lived a princess of great sensitivity and incomparable delicacy. To prove her true nobility, she had to pass a unique test: to feel a pea hidden under twenty mattresses and twenty quilts. Thanks to her finesse and refinement, she succeeded in this challenge, thus demonstrating her purity and sensitivity.
This story inspired the creation of a unique jewel: the original Petit Pois earrings. A jewel which, like the princess, symbolizes finesse, elegance and authenticity.
The creation
In our workshop in Rennes, France, Stéphane Ravel, a passionate jeweler, brought this tale to life by designing the original Petit Pois earrings. With the know-how inherited from Line Vautrin, Stéphane has not only perpetuated this legacy, but also enriched it by developing a unique technique for combining pearls with Émaline, Ciléa's exclusive material. This innovation makes it possible to create even more refined and original pieces, combining tradition and modernity.
What is Émaline?
Émaline is a material exclusive to Ciléa, combining modernity and tradition. Coming from Europe, it is meticulously applied and enameled by hand in our workshop in Rennes. Remarkable for its lightness, Émaline offers exceptional comfort while capturing the essence of traditional enamel. This unique resin gives each Ciléa jewel shine and durability.
A jewel to pass on
Each earring is crafted using meticulous and refined techniques. Hand-enameling gives it incomparable depth and shine. Every detail is carefully crafted to capture the beauty of real peas.
