There are no half measures when it comes to jewelry: Deborah likes it either very delicate or very big. She generally wears them in accumulation and cherishes the old as well as the contemporary. As for her new jewelry purchases, the editor prefers to invest in designer pieces: Pomellato, Chaumet, Piaget, Buccellati,... she lists for us her favorite brands.
On the other hand, there is no such rule for what concerns the old. Deborah reminds us in passing of the timelessness of the designs in jewelry. Her grandmother preciously preserves some of her jewels in order to transmit them to her one day.
Let's discover together her curation for Galerie Pénélope, an eclectic selection in terms of period but in which the diamond diamond is, with one exception, the main thread.
How to wear the comb?
From pantsuits to tie & dye, to pairing camel and blue, Deborah explains on her Instagram @thedailydeb how to appropriate the latest trends while avoiding fashion faux-pas. If she confesses to often leaving her hair natural, the fashion editor admires women who manage to make delicate hairstyles. And what better way to adorn an elegant bun than with our star-studded comb? Deborah loves this fashion accessory in its own right, featuring turquoiseone of her favorite colored stones.

Textile inspirations
For the woman who worked in the most important women's magazines, even in her jewelry choices, fashion is never far away. The first example is our vintage ring in pink gold and diamonds. The 1950s continued to explore themes borrowed from textiles: swirls, scrolls, folds, knots still feed the imagination of jewelers but will be worked in a more aerial way than in the previous decade, especially through the use of threads.
As for the cuff bracelet decorated with a citrine and diamonds, it is composed of a Milanese mesh made from woven gold threads.
Male-Female
Our vintage two gold bracelet is one of Deborah's favorites. She loves the combination of solid gold and the delicacy of white gold set with diamonds. A bracelet that blurs the lines, just like our signet ring tank. Generally made of a precious metalThis ring with a decorated flat bezel was for a long time the prerogative of man.
Fortunately, while women took over the essentials of the men's wardrobe (the tuxedo or the white shirt, for the most iconic), they also took over the jewelry!
Eternal Diamonds
We told you, Deborah has a weakness for diamonds. Despite a pronounced taste for graphic jewelry, she also likes more traditional pieces, those "that you never get tired of" and that you pass on.
Our pair of sleepers is the perfect example: if it dates from the Art Decoperiod, the alliance of the pearl and diamond is much older. For example, Marie Antoinette was already a fan of this marriage in the 18th century. The Empress Eugenie, fervent admirer of the Queen, gave the combination to the taste of the day under the Second Empire. The pearl-diamond tandem will continue in the twentieth century, in the jewelry Belle Epoque then Art Deco.
Finally, Deborah likes the so-called "marquise" rings. The story goes that Louis XV, madly in love with Madame de Pompadourhad the idea of a new diamond cutThe marquise cut is an elongated oval with pointed ends. By default, all rings with an oblong bezel are called "marquise".
