Our Story

Nouvel Heritage
Nouvel Heritage was born of the fusion of two typically contradictory styles: the fiercely modern and the timelessly elegant. Intended to be collected, Nouvel Heritage's pieces have redefined the art of jewelry stacking and layering.

Made in France
Nouvel Heritage's pieces are handcrafted in founder Camille Parruitte's family-owned jewelry workshop in Paris on Rue de La Paix, the famed avenue bordering Place Vendome where many of the world's powerhouse luxury brands handcraft their pieces. Parruitte’s upbringing in the heart of Paris's jewelry market cultivated her knowledge of jewelry production and design, motivating her to create collections that bring a modern edge to traditional Parisian handcrafting.

Paris & New York
Parruitte's French origin coupled with her American collegiate experience developed the unique modern aesthetic of Nouvel Heritage’s jewelry, which retain the effortless elegance of her Parisian roots.



A note from our founder
At Nouvel Heritage, we believe jewelry is more than an accessory; it's a personal piece you want to cherish and wear every day. Quality is important because jewelry is always in contact with our skin, and it needs to be long-lasting.
