Wear WE Are: Pascale Amaddeo@Les Néréides

The history of Les Néréides starts from a little shop in Nice, on the French Riviera in the 1980s, where founders Pascale and Enzo Amaddeo, a couple in life and in business, began to create imaginative costume jewellery. From there, with hard work and creativity, they not only have established a family business,  but they have also managed to transform Les Néréides in the successful brand that it is today, without losing its personal and hand-crafted dimension.
