It seems that Jennifer and Camille, the founder of Galerie Pénélope, were made for each other. Not only do the two women share a passion for jewelry, which brought them together in the first place, they also share a love of 1960s-1970s design.
In addition, while Laïka, the labrador of one has his own Instagram accountyou will probably have seen the most Parisian of Australian shepherds and mascot of Penelope Gallery in the stories of the other.
But don't worry, Jennifer came to talk to us about jewelry!

The editor-in-chief joined Vogue in 2009 and has been working on the magazine's digital development. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat... Jennifer set out to conquer the new communication media with the task of transposing the editorial quality and audacity of Vogue onto the web. For twelve years, she has been able to gather and create communities thanks to ever more innovative content. Not content with just bringing the magazine into the digital age, Jennifer has also managed to seduce generation Z and bring the world of Vogue to a wider audience.
A life punctuated by the Fashion Weeks of New York, Paris, London and Milan that she decided to leave in 2021. Since then, she divides her time between consulting and the development of her Instagram account with its seventies universe. Her secret to creating editorial content? Being aligned. It reminds us of a quote attributed to Oscar Wilde: "Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken."

And what could be better than an antique, unique, precious and ethical jewel to affirm one's personality and values? Jennifer is one of those who believe that jewelry helps to define oneself. Rings with imposing stones, XXL earrings, cuffs, she likes to wear voluminous pieces. Jewelry? She has "millions" ...
Her curation is just like the young woman: singular and refreshing. Let's dive into her colorful selection.
Magic
Jennifer cherishes the opal in all its forms, and the heterogeneity of the models selected by our guest of the day proves it. She loves it as much set in the center of an imposing vintage band ring, surrounded by diamonds old-fashioned diamondsas well as in accumulation on a garter ring.
Iridescent opal, also called noble opal, is characterized by its intense play of colors. If you want to know more about the gem, go to our journalWe promise you won't be disappointed!
Not without humor, Jennifer emphasizes that our daisy would be the perfect engagement ring. Let's hear it...
Ethnic
During her 12 years at Vogue, Jennifer traveled the world. She also appreciates the ethnicity of vintage patterns from the 70's.
The name amazonite alone is enough to transport us straight to Brazil. Jennifer loves its green color with bluish undertones. She also finds the combination of the stone with yellow gold very pretty.
The editor-in-chief probably got her taste for voluminous jewelry from her mother. Indeed, she has always seen her mother's ears adorned with imposing dangling earrings. Sometimes gifts brought back from a trip, always original. It is thus natural that Jennifer falls for our oriental earrings in yellow gold filigree.
Finally, the editorial content creator has selected our Mughal ruby pendant with rose-cut diamonds. This one was probably produced in India between the 16th and 19th centuries, under the great Mughal dynasty. The diamond, the ruby and emerald were among the precious stones of choice for the jewelry of the time.
Playful
When we tell you that Jennifer's mother's jewelry was always original, that's an understatement. For example, she wore earrings decorated with little cars, figurines, characters, or even fruits. A recreational link to jewelry that she undoubtedly passed on to her daughter: as far as she can remember, Jennifer always drew her mother adorned with huge earrings.
The choice of our pendant decorated with a fruit carved in an amethyst thus appears like a Proust's madeleine. It is reminiscent of the " Tutti Frutti " style invented by Cartier in the 1930s. Born of the fusion between Western and Indian jewelry, this style of jewelry is characterized by cabochons of precious stones cut to represent motifs from the flora.
As for our vintage ring with interchangeable stones, it might remind you of mood rings, whose "stone" is supposed to change color depending on the owner's state of mind. With a nod to your childlike soul, ours is made of real ornamental stones.
Symbolic
Our guest of the day, an avid lover of antique jewelry, is also very sensitive to their symbolic character.
Through our moon pendant, she summons the astrology and the birthstones. Garnet (January), amethyst (February), aquamarine (March), diamond (April), emerald (May), pearl (June), ruby (July), peridot (August), sapphire (September), opal (October), citrine (November) and finally turquoise (December), we have devoted a complete article to each of them!
Jennifer finally tells us about the beautiful idea of the grandmother of one of her acquaintances: bring back from each of her trips a pendant to hang on a necklace, which over time will be adorned with a whole bunch of symbols. An idea to make your own... Find your happiness among our antique necklaces and start your collection of pendants !
