Pieces of the Week: Marie Lichtenberg’s Collaborations for Mother’s Day
Lichtenberg partnered with luxury platform Mytheresa on two designs honoring the connection between mothers and daughters.

Marie Lichtenberg’s mother introduced her to the world of jewelry, and she continues to look to her mother’s influence when designing for her eponymous brand.
With Mother’s Day approaching in the United States, Lichtenberg is set to release two new pieces referencing the brand’s “Scapular” and “Locket” designs.
“Each piece captures the intimate, generational connection between mothers and daughters,” said the brand, as the designs reference the Martiniquan roots and Parisian sophistication of Lichtenberg’s mother.
The “Coeur Percé Scapular” necklace is set in 18-karat yellow gold with the brand’s signature brushed gold coco finish. It features a diamond-set arrow piercing an 18-karat white gold heart.
Her second design, the “Love Baby” locket, is also in 18-karat yellow gold with the brushed gold coco finish. It features two facing 18-karat white gold hearts on each side.
From the heart motifs to the diamond accents and brushed gold coco finish, the details seen in the capsule collection represent love, protection, and legacy.
“The ‘Love Baby’ locket and the ‘Pierced Heart’ scapular are a new testament to the love and transmission between mother and daughter,” Lichtenberg said.
Lichtenberg partnered with Mytheresa, a luxury e-tailer based in Munich, Germany, to launch the two pieces.
She said the collaboration began because she wanted to work with people she loves.
“Exchanging and building projects with people who genuinely appreciate each other and simply want to create beautiful things is an energy that nourishes us every day. It’s a project driven by love and fun, like everything we do,” she said.
The Coeur Percé Scapular necklace retails for €5,990 ($6,745) and the Love Baby locket for €7,900 ($8,896).
It will be available exclusively on the Mytheresa website starting on May 22.
