Marie Lichtenberg
Inspired by the forçat chains of her monther’s Martiniquan roots, Marie Lichtenberg’s symbolic love lockets honor artisanship and embody meaning.
Traditionally handed down through the generations, the hollow gold chains with bold locket clasps celebrate emancipation in creole culture, Marie received one from her mother as a teen, sparking her connection to the emotional value of jewelry. Marie designed her first love locket in India, where she fell in love with the country’s rich colors, spiritual heritage & ancestral jewelry-making traditions. The trip proved transformative, igniting an idea that would become Marie Lichtenberg fine jewelry.
Today, she calls on some of the finest ateliers in the world to make her meticulously engineered lockets, seeking out experts in intricate hand- enameling, guilloche and ciselure.
