PARIS - After twelve years working as an editor for French Elle, Marie Lichtenberg decided to channel her experiences into her own creations. Inspired by the jewelry of the French West Indies and the craftsmanship of India, Marie has created a collection of 18th Century-inspired lockets and charms. Made from 14k yellow gold, hand engraved and set with precious stones and bright enamel, they are then strung onto colored sarees thread – citing the ancient Hindu prayer ritual of kautuka.
