Design Your Way into her Good Books – Merci Maman
The favoured brand of royalty, Merci Maman has been seen around the neck of beloved national treasure Kate Middleton. Founded by Béatrice de Montille in 2007, Merci Maman has rapidly built an international reputation. Known for their affordable and stylish ranges of personalised jewellery, they have made a name for themselves as one of quality and meaningful gifts.
Each unique and hugely individual, the pieces are hand-engraved using French cursive handwriting in their London atelier, made using either 925 sterling silver or 18 karat gold plate.
They offer a personalised service of hand-engraved jewellery inspired by the founder’s French roots. Both traditional as well striking pieces in bright colours and intricate pendants and geometric shapes, Merci Maman’s pieces are both stylish and timeless.
Merci Maman has gained attention from year to year, notably when Kate Middleton was spotted wearing a necklace just after the birth of Prince George. Consisting of three charms unique to the birth of Prince George, one small heart with an engraved ‘W’ for William, a circular gold pendant engraved with ‘George Alexander Louis’ alongside a third pendant in the shape of a little boy.
Either for a hard to buy for relative or significant other, a piece from Merci Maman would make the perfect gift to give to a loved one for the special moments in their lives. The versatility of the brand lends itself to any occasion, a Birthday, Christmas, Mother’s day, Valentine’s day or simply as a surprise, and for anyone struggling they even come gift wrapped!
2015 is set to be a big year for Merci Maman with exciting movements on their horizon, they’re expanding beyond their ecommerce site and will be available to buy in shops, where the products will be hand engraved with different messages.
We take a look at 3 of our personal favourites…
http://www.mercimamanboutique.com/cart/for-her/womens-personalised-gold-plated-heart-charm-bracelet, With the option to engrave the gold plated hearts with whatever you wish, these gold plated hearts can truly be the personal touch. Our highlight on this piece however is the adjustable size, no panics for when you might have forgotten how small (or big!) your significant other’s wrist is, panic over!

These interlinked circles move freely between creating an extremely special piece, the circles could represent a bond between partners, mother and child or even life-long friends. They also lay flat on the wearer’s neck, a slightly more subtle cry for your special message.

Now our final favourite is rather broad but their ‘create-your-own’ service allows you to really go to town. From the material used, to the chain or braid and even the way in which the pendants sit together, Merci Maman allow you to create you perfect piece for that special someone. And what’s more special than designing something for them from scratch? Get thinking gents…
