There are summers when you refresh your wardrobe, and summers when you invest in a piece of jewelry. One that will stand the test of time, that will endure through the seasons, that you’ll wear layered or on its own, in the morning over a white T-shirt or in the evening with a silk dress. At BY Marie, designer jewelry isn’t just another section , it’s a conviction. For 25 years, Marie Gas has been meticulously selecting rare pieces from designers whose craftsmanship tells a story, reflects a place, and reveals an obsession with materials. For summer 2026, here are the ten must-have jewelry houses available in our boutiques in Paris, Saint-Tropez, and Marseille, and on bymarie.com.
Marie Lichtenberg: the Cult Talisman
If any piece of jewelry embodies the BY Marie spirit, it is Marie Lichtenberg’s. Her engraved, enameled gold medallions, rich in meaning, have become the silent hallmark of a certain type of Parisian woman. People collect them, layer them, and give them as gifts. The Summer 2026 collection explores new combinations of enamel colors that echo the season’s sunny hues. An essential brand for anyone who wants to understand what “layering fine jewelry” truly means.
Selim Mouzannar: Emotionally Stirring Beirut Jewelry
Beirut as a starting point, the whole world as a horizon. From his hometown, Selim Mouzannar creates fine jewelry of rare intensity, featuring hand-cut gemstones and gold crafted with a freedom all his own. His stackable rings and colored-stone necklaces have become coveted collector’s items sought after by jewelry enthusiasts worldwide. At BY Marie, we wear them as works of art that we are lucky enough to experience on our own bodies.
Dezso: The Spirit of Travel in Semi-Precious Stones
Sara Beltran founded Dezso in New York after years of traveling the globe. Her jewelry pieces are like travel journals: turquoise from Mexico, coral from the Medisterranean, opal from Australia ,each stone echoes a place. The result is jewelry that is both bohemian and precious, ideal for summer, worn against tanned skin, by the water or in the city. The Dezso pieces available at BY Marie are selected for their character and rarity.
Céline Daoust: Parisian Raw Gold
A Brussels native at heart, a traveler from Jaipur to Paris, Céline Daoust creates jewelry that mirrors those who wear it: discreet, unique, and imbued with an energy that isn’t immediately apparent.
Gold, raw stones, organic shapes: an instantly recognizable aesthetic, designed to be mixed, layered, and personalized. It is precisely this art of layering that BY Marie champions that of a woman who crafts her own style rather than following it.
In 2026, Céline explores asymmetries and matte finishes, creating pieces that feel even closer to the material, even closer to oneself.
Joelle Kharrat: Architecture in Fine Jewelry
Born in Lebanon and trained in Paris, Joelle Kharrat created a unique collection in 2022: the Totems. These modular, sculptural pendants consist of six stacked 18-karat gold elements that can be assembled however you like.
Each Totem revolves around the four elements: Earth (ebony wood), Air (solid gold), Water (mother-of-pearl), and Fire (precious stones). You choose your materials; you compose your own story. It is a piece of jewelry that you build as much as you wear it.
In a world that is fragmenting, the Totem is a symbol of unity and strength ,an idea that resonates deeply with the BY Marie spirit: that of a personal, meaningful piece of jewelry, never generic.
An exclusive discovery, to be created in our store.
Gas Bijoux: The Mediterranean Soul Since 1969
Founded in Marseille over fifty years ago, Gas Bijoux embodies the Mediterranean in all its generosity. Pearls, tassels, golden fringes—pieces that seem to carry the southern sun within them. Far from the major fashion houses, Gas Bijoux remains an artisanal brand, faithful to its manufacturing techniques and festive spirit. A Gas Bijoux piece around your neck, and summer can begin. BY Marie has worn this brand since its inception ,a loyalty that says it all.
Salomé Rico: Solar Jewelry
After eight years working with the houses of Place Vendôme, Salomé launched her brand in 2020 with a simple conviction: jewelry should bring joy. Recycled 18-karat gold, colored gemstones, Art Deco and vintage influences, and distinctive designs worn as a statement piece or layered together.
For Salomé Rico, jewelry is a “visible perfume” a personal and sustainable adornment that embodies identity, emotion, and joy. Something you never take off.
At BY Marie, we are the exclusive distributor of her creations.
Talkative: Japanese Graphic Jewelry
In 2008, Shinobu Marotta launched Talkative with a clear vision: to offer fine jewelry for everyday wear, for independent women seeking a more contemporary aesthetic.
A former graphic designer, she brings a playful lightness and a subtle eye for detail to each collection , jewelry designed to spark conversation, with a decidedly modern twist on traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
Clean lines, natural stones, graphic design, and meticulous finishes: at BY Marie, we’ve selected the pieces that best embody this rare balance between precision and character.
Lito: The Athenian Cabinet of Curiosities
With the curious spirit of a modern explorer and the discipline of a master artisan, Lito travels the globe in search of the most beautiful gemstones and rare materials. Her studio is located in the heart of Athens. Her world, however, knows no boundaries. Her creations are a delightful enigma blending romanticism, modernism, futurism, and ancient cultures; from hand-painted eyes to gold scarabs, each piece is as much a talisman as it is a work of art.
Her hand-painted enamel eyes echo the romantic tradition of Georgian portraits jewelry that connects the wearer to a fascinating story of curiosity and discovery.
At BY Marie, we’ve selected the pieces that best embody this world: unique, full of life, and impossible to forget.
Violette Joaillerie: the sea in gold and fine stones
Violette Joaillerie is a fine jewelry brand that draws its inspiration from the coastal charm of Marseille and the artisanal heritage of Jaipur. Freedom, colors, contrasts with pieces that have an identity, that are unique, and that carry within them something of the sea.
Octopuses, fish, seashells: Violette’s marine fauna is joyful, precious, and instantly recognizable. Her 18-karat gold creations, set with tourmalines and carefully sourced gemstones, possess the lightness of things chosen with the heart.
At BY Marie, we were delighted to welcome Violette as one of our first designers, and we continue to recommend her to those who love jewelry that tells a true story.
Where to find these designer jewels in Paris?
Designer jewelry has been the beating heart of BY Marie since the very beginning. Marie Gas has always believed that independent fine jewelry deserves just as much attention as the major houses, and that it is often among lesser-known designers that you find the most enduring, personal, and meaningful pieces.
