An Enchanting Holiday

Les Néréides Philippines takes you on a mystical journey

“Together, we created Les Néréides Paris with one simple vision: do what we love, and do it to the best of our ability, in order to share our passions and motivations with the rest of the world. Les Néréides Paris is a family story that comes from the heart; a story that we have been writing every day for thirty-six years.” – Pascale & Enzo Amaddeo, Les Néréides


It has been more than three decades since the very first Les Néréides opened shop in Côte d’Azur. Three of their four children, Nina, Pier-Paolo, and Bianca are now part of  Les Néréides. The youngest, Valentina, is taking up jewelry design and will be joining the company soon. The brand now boasts of producing handmade and hand painted costume jewelry to women all over the globe through its many boutiques, franchisees, and numerous points of sales worldwide.
 
The discovery
A web of connections brought together people who love jewelry, starting with Martha King who introduced husband-and-wife Peejay and Anne Yambao to the brand. They were completely swept away with King’s recommendation and decided to share their discovery to the Philippine market. To complete the circle and strengthen its local presence here, Peejay’s business partner, Ninoy Roco, signed up with renowned jewellers Paul Syjuco and Kristine Dee on board as well.
Take a magical tour
The world of Les Néréides draws inspiration from travelling. Over the years, Pascale and Enzo  Amaddeo have brought back treasures from every journey they took.
