\"I love interactions, meeting people, and sharing my passion.\"<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

After obtaining my CFC (1997-2001) at the \u00c9cole Technique de la Vall\u00e9e de Joux, I worked in a workshop in Geneva where I honed my skills in luxury jewellery, gained expertise in design, repair, and customer relations.<\/p>\n

En 2005, j’ouvre mon propre atelier et d\u00e9veloppe la pratique du \u201csur-mesure\u201d qui permet d’avoir un r\u00e9sultat optimal et appr\u00e9ci\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Alongside my creations, every year I exhibit my designs inspired by my travels and encounters with jewellers across the world who have introduced me to their ancestral techniques (see the Journal).<\/p>\n

In 2008, I won the Public prize at the 'Clean Gold' competition at the 'Festival de la Terre' in Lausanne. Since then, I have offered my clients the opportunity to create jewellery using ethical gold and strongly encourage them to recycle their gold.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

My values
\nin a few words...<\/p><\/h2><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Ethical<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
I ensure that my work has the least environmental and human impact possible. I use clean metals sourced exclusively from recycling circuits or the Max Havelaar label.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the purchase of my gemstones and pearls, I use short supply chains with minimal intermediaries to ensure genuine traceability.<\/p>\n

For several years now, I have been encouraging my clients to transform their jewellery or recycle their gold and gemstones (outdated, broken, or inherited jewellery).<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Bespoke<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The majority of my work is custom-made and made-to-order. My manufacturing process is based on the client's preferences. I listen to you and guide you throughout the creation process. Everything is handmade. For more complex pieces, I sometimes use modern processes such as 3D printing or micro-mechanics, always carried out locally.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Mon travail s’appuie sur mon exp\u00e9rience dans le milieu de la haute joaillerie genevoise. La pr\u00e9cision, la rigueur, la qualit\u00e9 sont par essence des \u00ab valeurs suisses \u00bb dans lesquelles mon travail s’inscrit pleinement. Je collabore avec des professionnels suisses de la gravure, du sertissage et de la fonte qui apportent tous une qualit\u00e9 d\u2019exception \u00e0 mes bijoux.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

and partnerships<\/h2><\/div>

To ensure the traceability of the precious metals<\/b>, I work with suppliers offering a recognised label.<\/p>\n

For gemstones, pearls, and diamonds, I work with companies certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) or adhering to the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme.<\/p>\n

For my subcontracting work, I collaborate with local artisans who produce work that meets the same standards.<\/p>\n

RJC guarantees the compliance with ethical, social and environmental standards<\/b>, throughout the company's processes and the entire supply chain.<\/p>\n

The Kimberley treaty aims at guaranteeing to the client that purchased diamonds do not come from areas of armed conflict<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
