Drawing inspiration from the blissful beaches of her childhood in the South of France & the invigorating energy of the modern urban architecture surrounding her for the last two decades, she creates jewels that are timeless, romantic yet edgy, and playfully convertible.

Delphine’s collection is centered around the many uses of her Boheme Clickers, her versatile modular charm holders that can be used in many combinations, making her jewels as unique as the wearer. She favors empowering and protective symbols paired with carefully and responsibly selected gems to create uplifting & colorful jewelry. She dreams up her pieces as powerful talismans and modern heirlooms to be cherished for generations.

Delphine uses recycled fine metals whenever possible, primarily 14 & 18k gold, working to source her gems ethically and satisfy a craving for a kind of luxury that is respectful of the magnificent resources of our planet. She believes that mindful and edgy luxury is possible and aims to create sparkly sculptures that can adorn your body and help elevate your soul.

An avid and classically trained dancer, she also has a natural affinity with numbers that first led her to Business School.

She originally moved to NYC to pursue an MBA in Corporate finance, a field where she had a successful career for more than a decade. In search of a new creative outlet, she fell in love with jewelry making after taking classes at the 92nd street Y in Manhattan. She first trained in metalsmithing, enameling, and chain making, but really found her medium once she started learning wax carving, as it better suited her love of volumes and sculptural shapes. She has not stopped hand-sculpting jewelry since, and happily left behind the drab world of corporate finance for the sparkly one of jewelry when she started her fine jewelry line in the summer of 2011.

This year marks the 10 year anniversary of Delphine Leymarie Fine Jewelry and a Fairmined gold capsule collection is in the works to mark the milestone and reaffirm Delphine’s commitment to responsible jewelry crafting. For the Silo, Olga Gonzalez.
