Jeweler's notebook - Albane

Our ambassadors are precious to us

We have designed a format that gives voice to women who inspire us through their professional careers, their uniqueness , their strength . We ask them about their relationship to success and the jewelry that accompanies them daily, about their sentimental value and what they have been able to celebrate as important stages in their lives. From customers, they have become real Douze ambassadors . Zoom in on these personalities who are dear and precious to us!

Today we reveal the interview with Albane . A lifelong Parisian , Albane is 31 years old and works in fashion, more precisely in the field of fashiontech at Tagwalk where she takes care of the entire Insights section. In parallel with her professional activity, she is a painter and particularly likes working with colors.

What do you like most about your professional activity?

"I really like the duality of this sector. These are two worlds that we thought were irreconcilable for a long time, but which have proven us wrong, particularly with social networks and e-commerce. Technology is shaking up habits and helping to meet many of the sector's challenges, and I find it exciting to be involved in it. On a more personal level, I have always loved fashion and the creativity that comes from it. However, I also have a very Cartesian and analytical side, and this job allows me to combine the two."

What jewelry do you wear when you work? What feeling(s) does it give you?

"I wear fairly simple, timeless jewelry that goes with everything. I rarely change it from day to day and I don't take it off to sleep, except for my rings and watch. If I forget to put them back on in the morning, I feel naked because they complete my outfit. I tend to be more creative and want to change my jewelry in the evening or for special occasions."

How would you define the Twelve woman?

"I imagine a courageous woman, tenacious but sensitive, a bit mischievous, feminine and natural, like Douze jewelry, without fuss."

What are the perfect occasions for you to treat yourself to a piece of jewelry?

"Anniversaries: both birth and wedding. But jewelry can also be markers of important events: a professional change, the birth of a child, etc. And by looking at the jewelry we remember these moments and we can then pass them on. I really like this idea of ​​transmission with jewelry, it is important to me."

Tell us a memorable anecdote you had with a piece of jewelry?

"I was just talking about transmission and I remember as if it were yesterday the first time I was given a "beautiful piece of jewelry": two bracelets for my fifteenth birthday that my mother had received before me from her mother. I hope to have a daughter one day so that I can pass it on to her when she turns 15."

At Douze, what is your selection of favorite pieces to make you feel good, beautiful, powerful?

"I like a lot of different things at Douze so it's hard to choose! But first of all I have a big crush on the Dôme Valentine ring, I really like the colored stones and in particular those in green shades. I also really like the different variations of the Jonc moon , which is very easy to wear every day, to dress up a wrist. Finally, I love wearing several chain necklaces like the Alba , the Valentine to recall the ring and the Iris for a more formal look."
