Why did you decide to create Collection Constance? What inspired you/Where did the idea come from?
Above all, I wanted to create my own company as a designer out of a love of beautiful things and creativity. Furthermore, meeting good people led to the birth of Collection Constance.
I draw inspiration from ancient things, from ancient Greece, to create my jewelry. The ancient in the modern, elegant, and feminine gives birth to my jewelry.
3 words to describe your style
A jewel:

and which can be worn every day.
What is your favorite piece of jewelry from the New Collection?
The Caduceus ring in Labradorite. It represents an entwined pair of snakes, an emblematic animal of ancient Greece and fine jewelry.
Labradorite is a stone that is particularly loved because it can be worn in all seasons, gives off a beautiful light and is a very rich stone.
This ring captures the materials and textures of my brand identity. It's a beautiful representation of the Constance Collection.
What is your all-time favorite piece of jewelry?
The IRIS ring was and still is the iconic jewel of my brand.
I find it timeless, airy, imposing and feminine at the same time.
What was your dream job when you were little?
I was very attracted to artistic professions and the profession of architect.
You could say that my life was all mapped out!
Yet I didn't do any studies in this field. I went to business school, but fate led me to my passion, which is my job.
I created my brand and my first pieces of jewelry instinctively without going to school or specific training.
Today, I'm taking drawing classes again, a magical moment for me.
Your greatest job satisfaction/greatest pride
My greatest pride was opening my first boutique in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. A wonderful accomplishment after two years of business development.
But I'm still very moved, touched when my friends send me photos of their girlfriends or entourage talking about my brand, wearing my jewelry. The same goes for my loyal customers who write me messages to say congratulations or thank me.
Do you have an activity that helps you disconnect?
Of course! Very important.
Sport! I'm a fan and I do it almost every other day.
Swimming, running, HIIT
It's a must-have in my week.
Tell us about a challenge you overcame and explain how.
Many challenges as an entrepreneur…. We can already talk about Covid which was a great challenge but also post-Covid problems like delivery delays due to materials being difficult to obtain.
You must never give up, stay positive and always think about the solution...
Your favorite “mantra” phrase
I have two sentences that I really like.
“A quit never win, a winner never quit. You can, you will”
🡪 You have to know how to listen to yourself and trust yourself to succeed. When you want, you can!
But also
“Smile at life and life will smile back at you.”
🡪 Trust life, provoke it and in general life goes well, it is well done
