Step into a secret room filled with wonder—where time stands still, and every trinket has a story. Welcome to the Cabinet of Curiosities, Les Néréides’ boldest and most mysterious collection yet. If you're drawn to French designer jewellery that flirts with fantasy, nature, and whimsy, this collection is your hidden treasure.
What Is a Cabinet of Curiosities?
Historically, cabinets of curiosities were eccentric collections of exotic objects, oddities, and rare specimens—sort of like miniature museums for adventurers and dreamers. Les Néréides channels that same spirit into jewellery that sparks the imagination and surprises at every glance.
This is where vintage fashion jewellery meets fairy-tale eccentricity.

Each piece in this collection celebrates the wild and the wonderful:

And the inspirations? They're straight from the vaults of natural history:
- Black orchid – symbolising mystery and elegance
- Lady's slipper orchid – an enchanting bloom with whimsical shape and colour
- Red coral – bold and fiery, a reminder of underwater treasures
- Starfish – organic geometry from the sea
- Rose chafer beetle (Cetonia Aurata) – metallic green beauty, reborn in jewel form
