Description
Leaves — fleeting, singular expressions of beauty, forever transformed by the passing seasons. Each year, nature lets go of its leaves, only to welcome them back in another form, a few months later. A quiet reminder that every ending carries within it the promise of a new beginning. As the saying goes by Marguerite Yourcenar : “No one knows whether everything lives only to die, or whether everything dies only to be reborn.” The soul, too, moves through its own metamorphosis, shedding what no longer belongs, in order to become what it was always meant to be.
These leaves whisper to us of the fleeting beauty of each moment, the fragility of life and the inevitability of change…
How precious it is, then, to savour the present, to surrender to the gentle touch of the wind, to release the weight we carry, and allow ourselves to take flight.
"To wander like a leaf released from its branch, carried softly by the wind, without ever knowing whether it is the wind that carries the leaf, or the leaf that carries the wind." Perhaps this is what it means to be free: to let go, to trust, and to become. As Michel Alain Jourdan so beautifully suggests.
A small leaf-shaped ring in Sterling silver, resting gently on the finger, never enclosing it. A delicate symbol of freedom, ready to drift away with the wind to new horizons....
Dimensions
- The widest part of the leaf measures 14 mm - The ring : 1,5 mm

18 Carat Gold
All Isabelle Lenfant jewelry can be handmade in 18 carat gold — yellow, white or pink — on request. 18 carat gold means at least 750/1000 of pure gold. The metals used comply with international jewelry regulations, and no nickel is used at any stage of production. 18 carat gold is stable and will not oxidise.
Gold pieces are made to order and cannot be returned. Their price follows the gold market: write to us for a quote at isabellelenfant@gmail.com
18K Plated Gold Silver
Sterling silver with 18K gold plating: 5 microns for rings and bracelets, 2 microns for necklaces, earrings and pendants. Made to order, and cannot be returned.
Plating wears away over time with friction and the acidity of the skin, revealing the silver, which then oxidises. It suits careful wearers: avoid sleeping, swimming, sport, perfume, make-up and household products.
Plating renewal: write to us for a quote, plating and shipping included, at isabellelenfant@gmail.com
Customisation
Engraving, by machine or by hand. Precious stones of about 0.9 to 1.2 mm, some of which can be set inside the ring, against the skin. Other gemstone colours are possible on the Trace, Brilliance and L’Eclat rings.
Customisation takes more time: ask for a quote and a deadline at isabellelenfant@gmail.com
Care
925/1000 sterling silver, hand-polished, lead and nickel free. Silver oxidises naturally — it turns black with sweat, the acidity of the skin, sulphur and moisture. It is part of its charm.
Avoid sleeping, swimming, sport, perfume and make-up with your jewelry. Clean it with a silver-cleaning product or a soft cloth.
Packaging
Every IL creation comes in its original box, enclosing one “heart healing” quote for each collection :
« Panse avec le cœur, l’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux. » Heal with the heart; what is essential is invisible to the eye.
" La Beauté est dans les yeux de celui qui regarde." Oscar Wilde The Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
