Born in Neuilly-sur-Seine into the family of Jewish immigrants from Russia and Romania Alfred Flis and Fanny Tesler, Sonia Rykiel – a famous French fashion designer. Sonia Rykiel (25 May 1930 – 25 August 2016) opened her first store, making clothing and accessories in 1968. However, the history of the Sonia Rykiel brand begins in 1962, when Madame Rykiel, the future mother, could not choose any outfit from what the Parisian shops offered for pregnant women. So, the talented and creative Rykiel decided to take it in her hands.
Then followed first knitted sweaters, clothes for women… and gradually developed a design of jewelry to her clothing line.
According to Sonia Rykiel, the main goal was – to dress every woman beautifully. Costume jewellery created by her is still in demand thanks to the wonderful taste and sense of harmony of the designer.

Traditionally, the marking include the original SR initials on the front side, but earlier pieces had marking the back “Sonia Rykiel Paris”.
For years, no one, except the closest friends, knew that Sonia was seriously ill with the Parkinson’s disease. In 2007, Natalie, daughter of Sonya took over the jewelry business and her sister over the line of accessories.
Sonia Rykiel died on August 25, 2016.
