About Nos Aïeux

Nos Aïeux is an independent fine jewelry brand shaped by memory and heritage. Each piece is conceived as an heirloom in the making — formed in noble metals and rare stones, and crafted to endure far beyond the present.

Guided by historical aesthetics, every creation is infused with meaning: a quiet talisman, a sign of devotion, or a piece that marks a significant occasion. No two works are alike; each is bespoke, shaped by story as much as by hand.

Drawing from antique forms reinterpreted through a modern lens, Nos Aïeux stands at the intersection of artistry and symbolism — an invitation to collect something beyond a simple adornment, but an object of permanence; pieces that carry both beauty and a deeper inheritance.

Your memory, eternal.

Jewelry is not merely worn, but carried forth — held in trust between those who possess it and those who stand to inherit it.

The Designer

Marc Baker-Bourgeois

Marc approaches design as an act of remembrance as much as creation. His work is guided by a reverence for symbolism and an instinct for form — where geometry, color, and pattern are composed with intention rather than for the sake of adornment alone.

Working in noble metals and precious gemstones, he shapes pieces that feel both ancient and immediate — modern heirlooms that draw from the past while belonging wholly to the present. Each design is conceived as a vessel: of meaning, of memory, of continuity.

At the heart of his practice lies a conviction that jewelry is not merely worn, but carried forth — that it can hold history, embody intention, and forge a lasting connection between those who possess it and those who stand to inherit it.
