-
4 Crosses in 3 words …Sobriety – Style – Paris
-
How did the brand start ?After working for 15 years in the jewellery industry and 5 years in the fashion industry, I wanted to start over and create my own jewellery brand. A world that I know very well and that inspires me greatly. All the creative part and the work with the artisans fascinates me. This project is more than a professional choice, it is a path of life.
-
What is the story behind the name ?I wanted to have a name with my lucky-number 4. To me the cross sign (no religious meaning) evokes balance and on top of that has 4 branches.At the time, I was in Sweden with my son, and when drawing a 4 on the sand of a beach in Malmö, I realised that there was a cross in the lines of the number. Everything became clear !
-
What is your favorite product ?The RIVOLI bracelet of the new collection. It is made from 24k fine gold and 2 stones.
I particularly like the one with malachite and amethyst. -
Who inspires you ?I love artists like Francoise Dorléac and Romy Schneider, they have a little something that is special. But above all it is Inès de la Fressange’s style that inspires me. She is the icarnation of the parisian girl.
- What are your future projects ?
I would love to have a permanent collection and be able to create new pieces of jewellery all year long. To offer a lot of different choices to my customers. To not be stuck with one collection during 6 months but to be able to let myself be carried by my creativity and the desires of my delightful customers/brand ambassadors.
You can shop our selection of 4crosses jewellery on our website or discover the whole collection directly on 4 crosses’ website !
