1945 is the year when Hélène Lazareff founded ELLE magazine in Paris. This French journalist, who had returned to Paris after several years in New York working for fashion magazines like Harper’s Bazaar, launched the first edition of ELLE with a subversive and elegantly simple vision: to “open women’s appetites.” At that time, Paris had been ravaged by the war, and France had been duty and class bound for centuries. That’s why the mission of Hélène Lazareff was so unique, bold and revolutionary: a woman creating a magazine that would be run by women, with the objective to help all women figure out what they wanted, instead of dictating to them what to do! With such a perspective and philosophy, its influence was huge. ELLE Jewelry features a signature created ruby trademark, which symbolizes a woman’s inner strength and beauty. The ruby is set in a square motif and its location changes with every piece, adding a personal touch with a beautiful and unique meaning for the woman who wears it.
