A tagalog word meaning “to nurture”.

We are largely influenced by what surrounded us growing up. It's not always loving or encouraging, but it has made us who we are. This is what gives us our powers as a person. The Aruga studs are a reminder that we are capable of shaping our own environments to allow for new growth.

When you shop at Victoire, you are supporting independent designers like Scarlett Tolentino, whose line Nepheliad derives its name from the lost word meaning cloud nymph. Her goal is to create jewelry that has an understated elegance, complimenting any style. Mainly working with sterling silver and 14k gold, she creates simple, modern jewelry with the belief that you don't have to be elaborate to be bold. Her barely-there style still catches the light, creating its own effortless statement. It's about the significance of what is there and the value it brings to your life. 

Nepheliad was born in Vancouver, Canada in 2014 and has since relocated to Oakland and currently Berkeley California as of 2017. Each piece is designed and created by hand from start to finish in her Berkeley studio.
