A unique approach
The brand story
Kim Harmsen did not arrive at jewellery through design training, but through ten years of building someone else's brand before deciding it was time to build her own. Armed with the skills and connections accumulated across a decade in marketing and PR, she founded Les Mères with a clear emotional foundation: motherhood, the sea, and the belief that jewellery should carry meaning well beyond the moment it is bought.
The pearl selection process, working directly with a sustainable family farm, choosing each stone by hand, remains one of the most rewarding parts of the work. Les Mères sits in a precise and underserved position in the market: statement jewellery that is genuinely designed to last, without the basic styles that heirloom jewellery so often defaults to.
