Sophie Pfeffer, founder of the French jewelry brand 5 Octobre, has always been guided by a curious and creative spirit. From a young age, she was drawn to stones, antique jewelry, tribal ornaments, and both primitive and contemporary art. After practicing law for a decade, she returned to her artistic roots and launched her first jewelry collection in 2005.
The name 5 Octobre holds personal significance—it marks Pfeffer’s birthday, symbolizing a new chapter in her life and creative journey. Her designs blend the raw with the refined, combining materials like barely hammered gold with sapphires, emeralds, tourmalines, and old-cut diamonds to create poetic, talismanic pieces .
Each piece is handcrafted in her Paris studio, reflecting her commitment to craftsmanship and individuality. Pfeffer’s work has garnered international recognition, resonating with those who appreciate jewelry that tells a story and captures emotion.
