Lilac

A cherished shrub of childhood gardens and countryside homes, lilac evokes for many a sense of memory, gentleness, nostalgia, and tender love. Its fleeting spring bloom and intoxicating floral scent stir feelings of affection, friendship, and maternal love. It is no wonder this blossom is traditionally associated with birth. As a gift to a mother or a newborn, to mark Mother's Day or a budding romance, the lilac jewel carries freshness, sincerity, and tenderness. The delicate molding by Bénédicte captures the velvety softness of its petals, and the pieces — sometimes adorned with pearls or amethysts — seem to breathe life into the flower. The lilacs used for casting come from the splendid gardens of Cap-à-l’Aigle, in Charlevoix, the beloved region where our jeweller lives and works.
