Launch of a meaningful collaboration with Melanie Stones

The Lise Watier Foundation is proud to announce the launch of a collaboration with Melanie Stones, a contemporary jewelry house founded in Montreal that celebrates authenticity, femininity, and the courage to be fully oneself. This initiative aims to directly support women’s financial independence through a campaign that combines solidarity and social impact. 

Discover the TAKING FLIGHT collection, a special edition inspired by the Lise Watier Foundation, designed to turn every purchase into a meaningful gesture. 

Jewelry inspired by the Foundation’s geese

The TAKING FLIGHT collection features a stunning baroque white freshwater pearl bracelet as well as a necklace, both adorned with a goose-shaped pendant — the Foundation’s emblem. 

Like geese flying in formation, the pendant embodies the strength of mutual support and solidarity: encouraging one another, taking turns leading, lifting each other up, and moving forward further together. 

For every piece sold, 25% of the price will be donated to the Foundation to support its programs dedicated to encouraging, training, and empowering women to develop their full potential. 

Purchasing one of these pieces means directly contributing to providing training, personalized support, financial assistance, and access to a network of support for women who are building their professional futures. 

A collaboration grounded in shared values

This collaboration between Melanie Stones and the Lise Watier Foundation is rooted in a shared vision: empowering women to reach their full potential and carve their own paths. It reflects a common commitment to creating lasting impact by transforming individual journeys into collective success stories. 

Treat yourself to a TAKING FLILGHT piece and change lives

Available in limited quantities, the TAKING FLIGHT collection pieces embody a meaningful gesture. 

Priced at $295 regular retail, each piece directly contributes to supporting the financial independence of women supported by the Lise Watier Foundation. 

Until April 30, enjoy an exclusive promotional price of $200. 

Treat yourself — or someone special — to a symbolic piece of jewelry that helps transform lives.

Graduate of the Entrepreneurship Program

The Lise Watier Foundation offers the Let’s Start Up Pathway in Montreal, Quebec City, the Laurentians, Montérégie, Sherbrooke, Drummondville and Toronto. More than 350 women a year are committed to taking action through the Let’s Start Up Pathway. They graduate with a better understanding of their strengths and skills, as well as the knowledge and tools to implement their professional project. Women thus begin a new journey towards financial independence through entrepreneurship, a return to school or a more fulfilling job.
