La Colette special 100th anniversary edition

Originally available as a limited edition, this medal is an exclusive creation by Lepage, created to mark the anniversary of the centenary of our Jewelry Maison. Building on its success, the medal has now entered the collection, so if the first 100 purchasers were lucky enough to have a special numbered edition. The idea for this pendant came to us as a evidence, joining the Colette collection, a true signature of Maison Lepage. Thoughtfully slipped onto a diamond-studded yellow gold chain that rolls across your skin and shimmers as it catches every glint of light, the medal offers a polished, shiny finish on one side, and a sandblasted, matte finish on the other so you can wear it however you like.

For the record

Beyond the desire to fashion an aesthetic piece of jewelry, it was important to us that a deeper meaning justified this creation. So, if you take a closer look, you may notice something surprising in the motifs that make it up... Indeed, each part of the medal's design is linked to an element in our history. Starting from the center of the medal, you'll find the famous Citadelle of Lille surrounded by twelve small apples, Maison Lepage's original hallmark, evoking its Norman origins. Around it, starting from the center and forming a delicate stained-glass pattern, are the emblematic monuments of each city in which our stores are located. The Rouen Cathedral, the Lille Belfry and the Hôtel de Ville in Le Havre are just a few examples. At the ends of these motifs, a fleur-de-lys, recalling the symbol of the city of Lille, finally you can observe the alternation of circles and triangles, an obvious nod to the Lepage logo and to the brilliant-cut diamond so dear to our heritage It's therefore a whole History that is told through this jewel, holding a strong symbolic value and a powerful emotional charge.

A jeweler's word

Made from 18k yellow gold, the finest quality gold there is, this pendant is a precious jewel that took us many months to design and then create. The delicate openwork motif is like a delicate lace veil, with its subtle, refined interplay of shapes. With a diameter of 25 mm, this medal is beautifully voluminous and will curl up in the hollow of your neck to enhance your décolleté. Each piece is unique and reveals all its beauty in the light, the gold shimmering to the most beautiful effect with the slightest of your movements...
