Before Margaret Mae, there was a garden in northern Denmark. A climbing rose named Margaret Mae grew there, at the childhood home of Nathalie Schydlowsky; a few years earlier, her geologist grandfather had passed down his fascination with stones through his travels and tales of Greenland. When she founded her jewelry house in Paris in 2025, after a decade in fashion and luxury—including stints at Vogue US and Balenciaga—Nathalie naturally brought these fragments of her life together. Mae comes from the rose of her youth; Margaret echoes Margrethe II, the Queen of Denmark and a cultural figure she admires for her free spirit.
As for the jewelry, it holds onto the landscapes of her grandfather’s stories: the cold Northern light, ice, rain, the aurora borealis, and, of course, diamonds. Yet this Scandinavian universe meets a very Parisian execution: Margaret Mae works with a European atelier accustomed to the exacting standards of the great houses of Place Vendôme. She delights in de-consecrating the precious, blending gold and silver, and bringing diamonds into familiar forms like the signet ring and the dog tag.
Jewelry that is less intimidating than it is personal, its name ultimately reading like a small family tree: a queen for allure, a rose for memory, and a few diamonds inherited, at least symbolically, from a geologist grandfather.
