Delphine Leymarie is a French New Yorker crafting fine jewelry as modern-day talismans—infused with love, intention, and a spark of magic to inspire and empower. Responsibly handcrafted with meticulous care in NYC, her collection celebrates transformation and the mystical forces that shape our journeys.
Growing up along the sun-drenched Mediterranean shore, Delphine was captivated by the raw beauty of nature: the way the wind shapes the sand, the shimmer of sunlit waves, and the infinite glow of the stars above. She remains enchanted by these wonders, drawn to the way they hint at the mysterious energies that guide and transform us. From celestial rhythms to ancient symbols, from the flow of movement to the alchemy of metal and gemstones, Delphine weaves these inspirations into her work, sculpting each jewel as a modern talisman meant to be worn, cherished, and imbued with meaning.
As a co-founder of Reciprocity Jewels, she champions a more transparent and ethical jewelry industry, forging direct connections between designers and artisanal miners to create a gold supply chain rooted in respect and reciprocity. To Delphine, sustainability isn’t just a practice, it’s an extension of the love and care infused into every piece she creates. Before dedicating herself fully to the world of jewelry, Delphine honed her skills in corporate finance. It was through wax carving—where sculpting meets alchemy—that she found her true calling. What began as a creative outlet quickly became a passion, and in 2011, she left behind the corporate world to shape energy into gold and bring her vision to life.
Delphine believes jewelry is more than adornment: it is a companion, a guide, a symbol of empowerment meant to be worn as a personal treasure. Just as dance tells a story through motion, her jewelry tells a story through layers, symbols, and the interplay of light and texture. And then, there is New York City, a place of electric energy and boundless reinvention. Its bold contrasts, architectural rhythm, and unstoppable pulse inspire the clean lines, modularity, and playfulness of her designs, balancing the raw, organic beauty of nature with the modern energy of urban life.
