The rose is the main inspiration for all our jewellery in one way or another. Empress Josephine was known for her great love of roses and her huge rose garden at Château de Malmaison. The empress was known as Rose until Napoleon insisted on calling her Joséphine. The rose has a significant symbolic place in society. Its mesmerising flower represents love, beauty and desire, while the thorns on the rose that protect the beautiful flower remind us that nothing in life is perfect and represent diversity and edge.
