Naturae Reliquiae, why? How?
Naturae Reliquiae: the remains of nature
Naturae Reliquiae means "the remains of nature", it comes directly from my fascination for nature and everything that is found there, in this case the animals I feel an immense love.
Death is a taboo and can be associated with a negative image. Death is part of the circle of life and is something quite normal. I want to embellish this aspect, and pay tribute to nature and its beauty. I love to wear elegant jewelry, which is why I combine them in a unique jewel full of history by giving a second life to these fascinating creatures that inhabit our lands.
As for animals, they are found in the countryside and cleaned by me for several months or recovered second hand. Insects can be found or are purchased from ethical French suppliers or second hand.
No animal/insect was killed for the creation.
Behind Naturae Reliquiae ...
Hello, let me introduce myself, my name is Manon and I am the creator of Naturae Reliquiae ,
I am a tattoo artist by trade, I am 26 years old and I wanted to devote myself more to my passions which are taxidermy, osteology, entomology, quite simply nature and animals.
I particularly like art and history, my references are to different eras such as the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Victorian era, art nouveau...
Not finding jewelry to my taste by mixing all these passions, I therefore decided to create this own and unique universe.
I also present to you the assistants of Naturae Reliquiae, which is none other than... Bankise & Skjör, my two balls of fur who are an integral part of my life, my choices, my desires and my inspirations.
They both come from Reunion Island, adopted through an association. I am very involved in animal welfare and this is why my convictions with Naturae Reliquiae take on their full meaning.
