Nicky Hilton launches new personalized jewelry brand
Since then, it's become synonymous with the famous Millennial socialite sisters Paris and Nicky, who have been pop culture icons since the names Kardashian and Jenner were only associated with O.J. Simpson's lawyer and an Olympic track star.
The siblings have never rested on their family wealth and bore the same entrepreneurial spirit that their great-grandfather possessed.
Paris, 43, explored reality TV, a DJ career, and a tongue-in-cheek cookbook, among other pursuits. At the same time, little sis Nicky, aka Nicholai OliviaRothschild, 41, has lent her name, style, and fashion design experience to handbags—who can forget the uber-trendy Samantha Thavasa handbags—footwear and, more recently, a capsule collection of dresses with Australian social occasion frock maker Rebecca Vallance, among other ventures.
Now, the younger Hilton sister is leaning in to create a brand of her own based on some other important names, such as those of her daughters. Backed by the Tenen Group, a data-driven, technology-first, top-quality jewelry brand with the ability to scale, Hilton is introducing Theo Grace, a jewelry brand focused on personalization.
Social etiquette also comes with the Hilton name. When gift giving herself, Hilton prefers a personal touch rather than an impersonal one to reflect the time and thought put into the offering. Celebrating life's meaningful and joyous moments, from family to daily life to gift-giving and beyond, Hilton believes in jewelry's ability to form connections, becoming more than an accessory but a symbol of love, friendship, and life. The collection's personalized nature also tells the wearer's story.
The collection is charm- and locket-based and can be personalized in several ways, whether names—one necklace style features necklace shanks with customized nameplates in between bow charms— or initials, dates, secret messages, and even photos. Initials appear as engraving on simple heart charms on a pair of earrings or hexagonal discs on a necklace or bracelet.
The wow factor that sets the mass-focused brand apart is its photo personalization service. Customers can send a digital photo that can be transferred onto the metal with amazing realism and clarity. The process takes approximately two weeks to complete the piece. Standouts include a bee motif locket, which holds within it a photo, and a round signet-style ring with a photo ensconced by crystals.
"I had long dreamed of creating a jewelry brand rooted in personalization and the emotional power of connection and love. Gifting is part of who I am—I'm always looking for meaningful, creative ways to show love and gratitude to the people in my life, whether for big milestones or everyday moments: my kids, family, or friends. I hope everyone can find that special gift that says, 'I love you,' 'Thank you,' 'Congratulations,' or any heartfelt message, with depth and individuality. I truly believe in the magic of gifting and doing it on your own terms", said the Theo Grace co-founder, Hilton.
Theo Grace designs are available in gold and silver and will be available online via the brand's online store. While Tenen Group will continue to create the line's core styles, Hilton will create special capsule collections yearly. To celebrate, the brand is throwing a launch celebration at New York's SeaGlass Carousel, which is itself a personal gift to the citizens of New York.

Not just Ikea: where you can buy furniture in France
Although Ikea does of course exist in France if you like flat-pack furniture and a cheeky cinnamon bun, there are other options for you to peruse. Maisons du Monde French-owned furniture store Maisons du Monde is a decent option, if you're looking for solid, non-flatpack furniture in a range of different designs. It offers vintage, exotic, classic chic, seaside, modern, country, and industrial styles for whatever type of look you're going for. Be aware that not all products on their website are sold by Maisons du Monde itself and different providers offer different quality. Look for the Maisons du Monde brand to ensure the quality. La Redoute The one-time mail-order homewear catalogue company has transformed over the decades into one of France's leading and well-respected furniture brands. It promises a range of stylish and well-put-together furniture at a price that's not out of reach for many people. And it does clothing, too. Advertisement AM/PM Look out, too, for AM/PM furniture stores, which has stores in major cities across the country and is owned by La Redoute. Think stylish and contemporary. But also premium – it's a touch more expensive than its parent business. Roche Bobois For high-end furniture, this luxury Paris-based store is for you. It works with well-known designers and cultural icons (it recently collaborated with Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar) and has a very distinct and sophisticated style. A go-to for anyone looking for something a bit special, and with the funds to pay for it. Alinea Founded in Avignon in 1989, and committed to sustainable and responsible home decoration, Alinea draws its inspiration from the landscapes of its southern birthplace. So, expect things to be a bit more relaxed in style. Habitat From 1960s London to 21st-century France, via liquidation and rebirth. In March this year, a boutique reopened in Paris. By the end of 2025, Habitat will offer its products on the shelves of several 'partner' stores as part of a slow relaunch. It has an online presence, now, so you could Conran your crib from anywhere in France, if you so desire. Conforama This is probably the French equivalent of Ikea, selling mostly flat-pack furniture but also things like sofas and electrical items for a reasonable price. It represents 16 percent of the French market (just behind Ikea on 19 percent and ahead of But on 13 percent) and has stores in most French towns. It offers a delivery service and some stores will also hire out their own vans, at a discount price, between the hours of 12 and 2pm (when drivers are taking their lunch break), so you can take larger items home. But Very similar to Conforama is But which also has a presence in most French towns, usually on the large trading estates on the outskirts. It too sells mostly flatpack furniture at reasonable prices. Advertisement Ikea We know that this article is about alternatives to Ikea, but it does exist as a furniture option in France and offers a good range of affordable furniture and household items. In larger cities the brand is rolling out city centre stores - these allow you to browse all the items, sit on the sofas, test out the desk chairs etc, but they don't actually have a huge warehouse of beds, sofas etc. Instead you pick what you want and then order it online for delivery. The stores themselves still have smaller items to buy though, such as mirrors, picture frames, kitchen utensils and of course 100-pack bags of small candles. The bigger Ikea stores on the outskirts of town allow you to buy large items to take home in your car, although they too have a delivery option. Advertisement JYSK JYSK is similar to Ikea in terms of affordability and Scandinavian roots, so expect lots of natural wood and neutral tones. It has a few dozen stores in France, mostly in the northern half of the country, but it is expanding into the south. You can find clean and unfussy furniture here to fill every room of the house from the bedroom and the dining room to the lounge and even the home office. Kave Home Kave Home is a Spanish company with stores in France. The style is generally Mediterranean with a touch of Nordic and mostly solid wood products. They sell everything from sofas and chairs to dining tables, beds, lighting and home decor. Leroy Merlin Leroy Merlin is better known for home improvements, selling everything from tools and lighting to wall paint and tiles – but they do sell no-fuss mostly bedroom, office and outdoor furniture. You won't find most of the furniture in store, however so will have to rely on online photos and reviews. Check out, too, other DIY outlets like Mr Bricolage. There will be one on the outskirts of most reasonably sized towns. Advertisement Selection M An online store that sells everything from dishware to antique furniture. It's not cheap, but if you have the money and a thing for what those in the know term 'slow deco', and what everyone else might call 'timeless', this might be the place for you. White goods Furniture stores such as Conforama and But also sell the usual array of household electricals and white goods, like fridges, freezers and cookers. You could also seek out a Boulanger store, or a Darty. Or a fnac, or a CDiscount. All have online stores, and deliver. Products bought from any one of these will have the advantage, too, of coming with the right plug for your French home. Local furniture stores The furniture stores listed above may offer good choices and have websites that you can easily browse for products, but don't underestimate the possibility of finding what you need from local magasins de meubles (furniture stores) – which range from the monstrous BHV Marais in Paris to a family owned store in a small town. Many cities in France have furniture warehouses on the outskirts, so it's worth seeking them out. For white goods, watch out for discount outlets, sometimes called 'entrepots'. Second-hand furniture The pre-loved furniture market is very much a thing in France – just ask the people behind Selection M. But you could find bargains aplenty online, by looking at well-known classifieds website leboncoin , for example. But also consider looking out your nearest Emmaus store, where donated goods are sold for charity, or any one of the 'troc' outlets. Then there's brocantes , which sell second-hand/vintage/antique items. There are some brocante stores but also regular market-style events in towns and cities across France that offer a huge range of items from real junk to genuine bargains on old furniture. Vide grenier are more like car-boot sales/yard sales are tend to offer smaller items and not much furniture, but you may also see signs locally for a vide maison or house clearance, which may have some bargains.

Thomas Jolly, director of Paris 2024 Olympics ceremonies: 'You're always reminded of where you come from'
One year ago, France was buzzing with excitement for the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games. As the artistic director of the opening and closing ceremonies, Thomas Jolly delivered bold and extraordinary performances. At 43, the theater and opera director, known for his spectacular productions, such as his acclaimed staging of the musical Starmania, received an honorary Molière award, the French equivalent of the Tonys, in late April. I wouldn't have gotten here if… In French class at middle school, we hadn't read Le Médecin malgré lui [ The Doctor in Spite of Himself ] by Molière, and that first line spoken by Sganarelle at the beginning of the play, which I delivered in an extremely theatrical manner, banging on the table: "No! I tell you that I'll do nothing of the kind, and that it is for me to speak, and to be master." I was in sixth grade, I didn't know anything about theater, and it was the first time I had ever recited a line from the repertoire. But I understood you had to "give it some tone," and the teacher had asked me to perform it with anger. I did it, and I made my classmates laugh. Suddenly, it wasn't the same everyday laughter I heard that was hard to bear on the playground, in the cafeteria, or on the bus. This laughter was different, and it continued throughout my reading. That evening, when I got home to my parents, I wanted to do theater. I felt that it was a space where, even though you were exposed, you were also protected. What images do you keep from your childhood in the small village of La Rue-Saint-Pierre, in Normandy?
