The LOYAL.E PORTRAITS 

At Loyal.e, we take great pride in connecting with inspiring women who embody the essence of our creations. Through these intimate conversations, Maïssa, our founder, engages with remarkable individuals, ambassadors of our universe, to explore their personal journeys, passions, and the deep connection they share with our jewelry. Each dialogue unveils not just a story, but a moment in time — a defining chapter of their lives, and their unique perspective on what makes Loyal.e so special. These conversations are not to be missed — sincere, inspiring, and full of warmth.

CHARLOTTE LEONARDI 

Can you tell us a little about yourself? 

” My name is Charlotte, I’m 39 years old, and I’ve been a photographer specializing in maternity for over a decade. I capture key moments in the lives of women and families, especially around pregnancy, birth, and early childhood. Alongside this, I often share my thoughts on fashion and beauty. For almost as long, I’ve been writing articles, often accompanied by images, where I like to add a bit of humor — it’s my signature. “

A defining moment in your life?

“Among the most significant events in my life, the birth of my daughters stands out, as well as my husband’s proposal to me on a beach in Ibiza. It was a simple yet unforgettable moment.”

What does a piece of jewelry mean to you?

“Jewelry is both personal and symbolic to me. It accompanies us through each stage of life — from childhood adornments to wedding bands, and the heirlooms passed down through generations. A piece of jewelry is like a story we wear every day — a reflection of our identity and what we wish to express.”

What is your favorite piece from Loyal.e and why?

“My favorite piece from Loyal.e is the Intrépide ring, which I wear all the time. It symbolizes trust and friendship. It holds a very special place in my heart, not just because of its design, but also because of what it represents in my professional journey.”

How would you describe the style or spirit of Loyal.e?  

“What stands out about Loyal.e is how it reveals the woman wearing it. In that sense, each piece becomes unique. I tend to keep things minimal, so I wear just one or two pieces at a time — never more. I don’t stack rings, and I switch them up often.”

AGATHE MOLINAR

Can you tell us a little about yourself?

“My name is Agathe Molinar, I’m an entrepreneur and mother of three young children. I’ve always been passionate about what I do, whether it’s in my business or my personal life. I believe passion is at the heart of everything I create.”

A defining moment in your life?

“Naturally, my children’s births come to mind. But if I had to pick another moment, it would be my wedding. The commitment it represented, and the start of our incredible family journey. I also think back to the beginnings of all my entrepreneurial ventures — the first clients in my various businesses. All these beginnings are full of promise and possibility.”

What does a piece of jewelry mean to you?

“Jewelry, for me, is all about story. It’s not just a decoration — it carries meaning and emotion. For example, my engagement ring holds a deep significance. But one memory that really illustrates what jewelry means to me is the ring I received on my 30th birthday. My mother gave me a box, and inside was my paternal great-grandmother’s engagement ring. It was a beautiful surprise, especially since I had lost my father when I was young. In a way, it felt like he was giving me a gift, which made it all the more meaningful. Another piece is a diamond I bought for myself after selling my previous company. It marked the culmination of years of hard work and success. I also know that one day, I’ll pass it on to my children, along with the story behind it. Jewelry, for me, has this powerful aspect of transmission — a legacy of emotion and history.”

What is your favorite piece from Loyal.e and why? How would you describe the style or spirit of Loyal.e?

“It’s tough to pick just one, but if I had to choose, it would be the Intrépide ring, the paved version. I really adore it. I’ve always been fond of vintage jewelry, and what I love about Loyal.e is how it blends a contemporary feel with a hint of the past. The rings and earrings are stunning, and I wear them often. The mix of modern and timeless is what really resonates with me.”

A memorable anecdote or memory (related to Loyal.e or not)?

“I think I’ve already shared a few stories, but one that sticks with me is when I met you, Maïssa, and we had that passionate conversation about jewelry. We really connected over the idea that jewelry isn’t just an object, it’s full of meaning and history. Another memory that comes to mind is when you lent me the earrings — I haven’t taken them off since.”

MARIE COURROY 

Can you tell us a little about yourself?  

“My name is Marie, and I’m the founder of Modetrotter and co-founder of Nouvelle Donne — both topclass brands. I’ve also recently embarked on a new project called La Carte Postale.”

A defining moment in your life? 

“The birth of my children is an obvious choice. But another moment that stands out is when I met Edouard, my partner — it truly was love at first sight, and it made a huge impact on me.”

What does a piece of jewelry mean to you?

“Jewelry represents transmission for me. In a world where so much is disposable, jewelry is one of the few things that can endure across generations. It holds memories, emotions, and stories that last. It’s something that can be passed down, holding a piece of our past while connecting us to the future.”

What is your favorite piece from Loyal.e and why? How would you describe Loyal.e’s style or spirit?

“My favorite piece from Loyal.e has to be the little Chevalière ring. I say little because I like to wear it on my pinky finger. It’s so chic, just like another ring from Loyal.e that I wear on my index finger. I love how the pieces are modern yet carry a timeless elegance.”

A memorable anecdote or memory (related to Loyal.e or not)?

“My grandmother had a beautiful, tiny ring. She offered it to my cousins and me, but no one took it because it was too small. Eventually, I decided to have it resized. Now, it’s a ring I treasure even more, especially because it belonged to her. I think my cousins and sister might regret not having thought of it first!”
