HISTORY & HERITAGE
It began in Belgium in the early 70s, at the Beaux-Arts. The first day devoted to women’s rights was being organised around Simone de Beauvoir, and the protection of the environment and the living world was becoming a cause. The heart of the “flat country” sings as much as it beats.
It was there that Pascale Chavepeyer and Enzo Amaddeo met and found each other.
Both captivated by the beauty of nature and inspired by its hustle and bustle, their notebooks gradually filled up with the vibrant colours that surrounded them. From daydreams to walks, these drawings collected on each trip and excursion eventually became a joint venture. A need for art to celebrate life in all its forms.
From a love that blossomed around a nature that was as powerful and wild as it was inspiring, it became clear that they wanted to bind their two visions together in an object with timeless appeal: jewellery.
They then moved to France, and it was in the “very faithful” Nice that they chose to establish La Maison Les Néréides in 1980.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Each piece is a miniature work of art: surrealist flowers, iconic creatures, sea fragments transformed into talismans. A figurative and poetic universe, designed in Paris, which flirts with fashion elegance. More than an accessory, it is a signature: sensitive, resolutely arty and on-trend.

BRAND IDENTITY
Les Néréides has a unique visual identity. Its palette consists of elegant flowers, mythical and graceful creatures, endearing little animals, organic and graphic shapes, and a clever mix of colours. The aesthetic plays on finesse, rarity and bold combinations, creating a visual signature that combines nature, modernity, allure and couture.
LES NEREIDES LOVES ANIMALS
Since 2015, through the Les Néréides Loves Animals–foundation, a collection each season has been dedicated to animal welfare. With this exclusive collection, 15% of the sale price of each piece of jewelry is donated associations working to protect endangered, abandoned, or sick animals. This commitment has raised over €700,000 since its inception, funding various organizations worldwide, all chosen for their dedication to animal rights.
