About

Paris-trained jeweller and Royal College of Art alumnus Joséphine de Staël presents a jewellery collection inspired by Floris’s floral perfumes and the heritage of this prestigious fragrance house.

The collection includes pieces to reflect the most popular floral fragrances: lily of the valley and cherry blossom charms, as well as jasmine, rosebud, mulberry and fig necklaces and brooches. All jewels are hand-carved in wax by Joséphine, cast in silver or gold and hand-finished in the UK.

Joséphine trained as a jeweller at the Haute Ecole de Joaillerie while researching her PhD on Parisian fine jewellery (Royal College of Art/ Victoria & Albert Museum, 2020). She specialises in the techniques of lost-wax casting and vitreous enamel. Joséphine is mentored by the most renowned wax model maker in Paris, who has a lifetime’s experience producing jewellery for the Parisian haute couture houses. She discovered the art of enamel in Limoges and trained with the world’s best artisans in Tbilisi and San Francisco. Joséphine has just returned from Tokyo University of the Arts and is currently researching and writing about Japanese jewellery and enamel. Through her eponymous brand, Joséphine de Staël seeks to fuse French and Japanese jewellery techniques to create timeless jewels that reflect the spirit of the English countryside, where she now lives and works.
