Collection
The Herbier collection evokes that tender childhood impulse: to gather, to preserve, to hold close the fragile beauty of the botanical world. Inspired by the boreal flora of her youth, Bénédicte Séguin casts in silver the faithful imprints of her botanical discoveries — spring fiddleheads, buds, cedar sprigs, and other seasonal marvels. Each piece is a fragment of nature suspended in time — soothing, strong, and essential.
Upkeep
When you find that your jewelry has lost its luster or has started to tarnish, hold it in one hand while you polish it with the fabric in the other: your jewel will become like new again!

The artist
Bénédcite Séguin
La Malbaie
Jeweler trained at the École des métiers d’art du Québec, I have been creating handmade pieces in my Charlevoix studios since 2006. My work draws on both the traditional techniques of jewelry-making and an intimate relationship with nature, deeply rooted in my personal journey.
Since 2009, I have focused my practice on casting real plants — flowers, native species, river algae — which I transform into sculptural jewelry. This process allows me to preserve the delicate imprint of a species, revealing its shape, texture, and singularity in precious metals such as silver or gold. This gesture has its origin in the herbariums I made as a child with my botanist mother, and has gradually evolved into a full-fledged artistic practice.
Each piece is conceived as a tribute to biodiversity — an object of contemplation that invites us to see the living world with renewed eyes. By capturing the ephemeral, I seek to highlight the fragile beauty of our environment and the urgency of its preservation. My creations carry within them a botanical memory, both aesthetic and symbolic.
Exhibited in Canada, the United States, and Japan, my work expresses a desire for dialogue between art, nature, and environmental commitment, while celebrating the richness of the Québec landscape.
