Once upon a time ... Neije
NEIJE is a Paris-based jewelry brand born from a desire : to create each piece of jewelry as if it were dressing a character in a novel.

The brand takes its name from pearls that resemble snowflakes.
I founded NEIJE because, as a designer, I never recognized myself in the conventions of fashion. I was often told what jewelry should be, but I imagine it differently; I design each piece as a fragment of a story to be worn, a bridge between material and imagination.
My ambition is to create pieces that have meaning. Jewelry that doesn't just adorn, but also accompanies, protects, and tells a story. Like modern talismans, they carry a symbolism that is sometimes secret, often intimate, but always open to interpretation, a bit like a poem that we reread differently each time.
With NEIJE, I want to restore jewelry to its essence: an intimate gesture, a symbol, an extension of oneself. Creations designed to transcend moments, from day to night, and to be part of the story of our lives.

BEAUTY AND MEANING
PRODUCE LESS BUT BETTER
At NEIJE, each piece of jewelry is designed to last, not multiply. We believe in limited editions: nearly unique pieces, crafted in small quantities using a local and responsible approach.
Our commitment to the planet guides every decision we make. Aware of the fashion industry's impact on the environment, we embrace responsible craftsmanship: recycled and sustainable materials, low-waste production, and a constant focus on our carbon footprint.
All our jewelry is handmade, made to order or in micro-series, to avoid overproduction. Nothing is left to chance: each piece of metal is collected, melted down, and reused to create new creations.
Creating less, but better: this is how we design jewelry that is more respectful, more human, and more sustainable.
KNOW-HOW
Obsessed with quality, we craft each collection in our Parisian workshop using traditional craftsmanship. We develop and evaluate the prototype until it reaches the required level of quality and the proportions are deemed perfect.
Each piece of jewelry is designed and assembled by hand, with particular attention to detail.
Our workshop combines design, development, prototyping, and shipping in one place. This allows us to monitor every step of the manufacturing process and guarantee a perfect product.
LUXURY AND SUSTAINABILITY
At NEIJE we use recycled 18k gold plating and 925 silver on the majority of our productions.
There is enough gold and silver in the world today that no more needs to be mined.
By using recycled gold plating and silver in our designs, we give a second life to lost metals by transforming them into a sustainable piece of jewelry.
We create quality handcrafted jewelry, designed to last a lifetime.

MATERIALS AND QUALITY
At NEIJE, quality begins with the choice of materials. All our pieces are made from recycled metals or sourced from responsible supply chains. We work primarily with suppliers based in France, specializing in recycled gold and silver, to limit the extraction of new resources and prioritize ethical production.
Our materials are carefully selected to ensure the hypoallergenicity of our jewelry.
