Maman et Sophie: Handcrafted Jewelry Born from Love, Made in Florence

In 2008, Elisabetta Carletti was a lawyer. Then Elena Sofia, her daughter, was born, and something in Elisabetta's world changed shape. Almost playfully, she began creating jewelry. First for the newborn, then for friends, and eventually for everyone. Day by day, that passion born in the intimacy of home became a job, then a brand, and finally a story told worldwide: Maman et Sophie.

Florence, Artisans, and a Name that Says It All

The brand was born in Florence, a city synonymous with artisanal excellence for centuries. Elisabetta collaborates with Florentine artisans who share her vision: lightweight, symbolic jewelry, crafted by hand. In 2013, she left the legal profession to fully dedicate herself to designing Maman et Sophie. The name—mother and Sophie, her daughter—already tells the story: a brand built on affection, relationships, and care.

Today, Maman et Sophie jewelry is recognized for a design that combines simplicity and symbolic depth. Stars, butterflies, hearts, protective symbols, poetic charms: each element carries meaning, a story, an intention.

Materials: 925 Silver and 18-Carat Gold

Maman et Sophie primarily uses 925 silver—handcrafted and finished in Italy—with rose, white, or yellow gold plating. Some collections feature pure 18-carat gold for more precious pieces. Natural and semi-precious stones—turquoise, amethyst, malachite, rhodochrosite, tanzanite—enrich many creations with colors that evoke nature and the mineral world.

The Battito collection, the Costa Azzurra line with its natural turquoise, the Stelle line (the brand's oldest, Elisabetta's original inspiration), and the America Hippy series with alternating stones—amethyst, coral, agate, jade—compose a diverse yet emotionally coherent universe.

Jewelry to Wear Every Day

Maman et Sophie's philosophy is clear: jewelry should not wait for grand occasions. They are meant to be worn every day, accompanying women in the ordinary hours of life. An earring, a necklace, a bracelet that is always worn—and over time becomes inseparable, almost an extension of the body.

This approach, combined with artisanal quality and accessible prices, has built a loyal and passionate customer base throughout Italy and Europe.
