Some symbols speak without words. The cicada, sun-soaked emblem of Provence, carries with it the warmth, rhythm, and radiant joy of southern summers. Its song is the gentle pulse of the Aixois way of life — a life of light, scent, silence, and sun.
With this Cicada Pendant, I wanted to create a jewel that pays tribute to everything I hold dear: our Mediterranean identity, our luminous nature, and the spirit of my hometown, Aix-en-Provence, where time flows differently and beauty is woven into the everyday.
Crafted in 18k rose gold, the delicate cicada reveals diamond-set wings, as though the light of the South had landed gently on its form. Fine, subtle, and radiant, this jewel sings with the same quiet presence as the insect itself — ever discreet, yet always there, marking the rhythm of summer and soul.
But beyond its shape, this piece is a personal declaration. An intimate homage to our land, our traditions, and our connection to nature. A celebration of what is true, sensory, and timeless.
Wearing the Cicada Pendant is wearing a fragment of our South — an ode to nature, to light, and to a way of living where emotion and elegance come together with grace.
